wEA1rHrrsr oF ALL THE INDIANS
After the Indiahs Were Moved He Came Back Among The Whites And Lived Comfortably off
 His Large Fortune.

The Leighton News. some weeks ago with comnnendable enterprise printed picture of the house of Colbert, the famous Cherokee Chief. with a story of his life and characteristics Col bert was perhaps the wealthiest Indian In all Alabama. When the white men first came into Alabama he was the most influential man among all the Indians.
 The article in The Leighton News prompted an old correspondent to write the following letter of. "reminiscences: Editor Leighton News.
 Dear Sir:-I received the picture of the old Colbert residence, and thank you for your kindness in thinking of me. It was of small matter, but 1t is pleasant to be remembered by home folks.
 Yes. Alabama Is my home, though I have lived here three times as long as did there.<
 I remember Colbert. It was he that Colbert's reserve. of Lauderdale county. was named after. and also Col bert's shoals in the Tennessee river. an Indian. He was rich, very rich. but sometimes dressed like an Indian to keep himself solid with the Indians.
 The Indians were sent across the Mississippi river in 1896. I saw them and was in and among them. They were not at all pleased with the change effected by government order. saw the male Indians throw into a creek little children not more than two to four years old. and instead of drowning as white child would have done, they swan out just as you have seen a pup py do. Though they screamed loudly the bucks laughed heartily but the squaws did not at all, but looked sad and indignant.
 Colbert came back from the Indian Territory and settled in North Missis- sippi, rich planter, and abandoned all his Indian proclivities
 Colbert had some own cousins whose father was named Leflore They came back and settled in South Mississippi an dthe county of Leflore is named after them. They were quite rich also. and the sons were sent to Centenary college at Jackson. Louisiana, to be educated, but they never accomplished

much in that, direction. They were
 moral well behaved. and tried hard but somehow they seemed to be stupid | and none of them ever graduated. A Mir. Barton. who lived near Buz- zards' Roost, in Franklin county, was l Indian agent and accompanied them to | their new home. An Indian Ca Chicka- saw married a negro women belong ing to MT. Moreman in Franklin county. lived with her for years, raised large family. I knew him well. Mir. Moveman named him Louis, and his Indian name was unpronounceable Louis worked with the negroes regu- larly, and was the only Indian I ever knew who would work. When they went West he went a day or two with them to tell his kin folks good bye. They tried hard to make him go with them, but Louis never returned. MT. Moreman followed after the Indians, who said they knew nothing of him since he left to go home. Some days afterwards the buzzards discovered him dead stuffed into a large hollow log. They killed him.
 When I was a boy. I saw two Indian chiefs named Chinaby and Bockatona tried in Russellville for killing a white man. who had murdered an old Indian whose daughter he had married. but as the white man was no account, the court excused them this time with a warning not to do so any more. They spent months in the jail at Russell ville before being tried.
 When this country was first set tied by the white people there were more than two millions of Indians here. Today there are less than one- quarter of a million left. and they will soon be extinct. And this Is all right. I do not believe in the unity of the races, but in the survival of the fit test" and think 1t was right and proper to take this broad land and make something of It. I have little sympathy for that namby- pamby. sen- timentalism which Is "so sorry" for the poor red man" and thinks 1t was so wicked to rob him. All this sympathy is purely theoretical and not real. for If they were really as sorry as they pre- tended to be they would be sure to re- turn the stolen goods, and did any one ever hear of any man being so sorry that he sent to the poor, outraged In- dian money to pay for the stolen land he has in his possession
 But I have written far more than I intended. and will close by wishing you much success" 7S9.

Berlin. March. 27.-The sensation o1 the day is the publication of a remar- kable book of confession written by the celebrated German actress, Mime Odilon. who for two decades occupie ed formost position on the German stage She is now 45 years old.
 Describing her philosophy of life she writes: Laughing seems to have been my motto. I owe much. indeed, l owe almost everything, to laughter. Until my thirty-ninth year my life consisted of one long laugh.
 T laughed with the world and at the world. My Laughter was not all ways holy. I laughed and laughed un- til my 39th year, and then the gravity of life overlook me. The terrible ser !ousness of life surprised me-"
 Mime. Odilon writes with regard to her humble origin:-"My parents were very good people. but they experience ed misfortune. In consequence of their credity they were obliged to give up their lands and work for other laundres While still a child was obliged to work hard at washing clothes, and year or two later had to sew buttonholes.
 What ideas I had at the age of fourteen! At that age one ought to be at school. but I came of poor par ents and had to go out into the world. l had to earn money. I took lessons from the court actor. Jeffee, and thus equipped l went on the stage. My first engagement was a talent. That was a terrible blow. Dismissed! Yes I was dismissed. How could I face my mother?
 Mime. odilon describes how she was once drunk on the stage at the fifty sixth performance of Madame Sans Gene" at Vienna in 1894.
 She says: T was dunk from brandy. It happened in this way. I had been visiting Baron and Boroness Leiten- berger. and in response to the Baron's persuasions I had drunk three small glasses of Cognac. Then went to the theatre, and broke down in the middle of my part"

 slow growth. and herein. perhaps, lies
 the secret of its stability This is H.
 frustrated by the fate of the brand new
 calendar of the French Republic. At
 the time of the Revolution an attempt
 was made to get rid of the Roman
 names of the months and other as-
 sociations. A new calendar was ar
 ranged by committee of which the
 moving spirit seems to have been Philippe Fabre d-Englantine dramatist and revolutionist. The old months were cut up so that from eight to seven days of one were united with from twenty-two to nineteen of the following to make twelve months of thirty days each. They received the following poetical and descriptive names: Vendemaire. vintage: Bru- maire, foggy; Frimaire, sleeting; Ni- Vose. snowy; Pluviose, rainy; Ventose windy; Germinal, budding; Floreal flowery; Prairial, pasture; Messidor harvest; Thermidor hot, and Fructi- dor, fruit. The first month began with the autumn equinox, and included eight days of September and twenty-two of October. Five extra days were add- ed under the title of Sans-culottides every ordinary year. and six in leap year. The Roman names of the days were likewise abolished in favor of the more prosaic Primidi, Duodi, Tredi, etc. This calendar remained in use for thir- teen years. and then Janvier. Fexrier, Lunii. Mardi and Co., came back and have remained.
 The French began the new Republi- can year with the autumn equinox, and the oldest Roman year probably be- gan with that of spring. March was its first month, as 1t was in our own until 1752. In that year England tar dily accepted the reformed calendar of Pope Gregory XIII, and January 1 be- came the legal New Years day. For some time previously, however, 1t had been observed as the popular begin ming of the year. The acceptance of the Gregorian calendar involved the dropping of eleven days. the amount gained by the calendar year on the years. The Sd of September was called the 14th. The measure was not popu- lar, and ministers were greeted in the streets with the cry: "Who stole the eleven days? Give us back the eleven days" Russia has still adhered to the Julian calendar, making leap year every four years, and Is thirteen days behind. The Russian New Years day does not occur till our January A.
 The making of an almanac depends today. as 1t did in ancient times. on careful observations of the heavenly bodies For the fact is realized that sun moon and stars are for signs and for seasons. for days and for years" The compilation of a calendar Is gathering of information for the guid- ance of terrestrial affairs from the movements of the heavenly bodies

History Of Modern Calendar
 Varied as That Of Hun1anitv

| In Pompeii a calendar was found cut
 in a squared block of marble. On
 each side face are the days of three
 months. arranged in perpendicular l columns. each month headed by its proper zodiacal sign. This calendar also contains astronomical, agricul- l tural and religious information. Sim liar to this ancient marble calendar of Pompeii were the clog almanacs used long ago in Great Britain. says The London Globe. According to pr. Piott, these were stfll in use in Staffordshire in 1906. The clog was cut out of a block of wood so as to look like four elongated rectangular pieces of wood united by their edges. When held in front 1t presented four edges and four faces. Notches were cut on the edges, one for each day and these were divid- ed into week by longer notches for the Sundays. Special days were signified by appropriate figures on the corres- bonding faces. A gridiron denoted St. Lawrences, a wheel St, Catherine's, an ax St. Pauls. while 8 drinking horn might stand for Christmas. Sometimes the notable days were marked in Runic characters, and so the clog all manac was otflerwiseH known as the Runic staff. Specimens of these curl
 
 ish Museum. the Bodleian. the Ash mclean and others.
 Let us glance for a moment at our modern calendar. A curious point Is the irregularity in the number of the days in the different months. We could hardly remember the right lengths If 1t were not for the familiar rhyme:
 Thirty days hath September.
 The explanation carries us back to Roman history. It was the vanity of Roman emperor which rendered the learning of this rhyme necessary. In the oldest Roman calendars the months were of thirty or twenty-nine days each. But when Julius Caesar re- formed the Calendar of Numa Pom pilius he gave them alternating thirty one and thirty. beginning with Janu- ary. February was an exception. and was given twenty-nine in ordinary and thirty in leap years. After Caesars death the month Quintills was renamed Augustus chose the following month. Sextilis. as his own. and called 1t Augustus. But it had only thirty days. and it was not to be endured that Augustus should be inferior to Julius. So the emperor took one day from February, leaving 1t but twenty eight, and gave 1t to Augustus. This dis turbed Caesars orderly arrangement. and three months of thirty-one days viz: July. August and September, came together. The extra day of the lat ter was therefore given to October, and a day taken from November was given to December.
 The calendar, like so many other of

 "Reminiscences of e Georgia Cadet. The state military school of Georgia was located at Marietta. Ga. and when sherman began to move his army from Dalton, south, the battalion was order ed to the front. and was soon under Tire at Resaca, Ga., on the 14th of
 May, 1884. The battalion was of ages
 from 15 to IS years, we'll drilled and
 eager for the fight. They were in

We were sent from Atlanta to Mithage, Ga. in September. 1884. when cavalry raid came near capturing MilIedge- ville. We camped then for six weeks and again met Sherman's advance at Cor donsville. At Oconey river on the Central of Georgia Railroad we de- tended the railroad bridge for some days. On an advance skirmish line west of the river, Marsh of Carters- Vile, was shot fatally and died three days later in Savannah. He was one or the youngest boys of the battalion and absolutely reckless of danger. I heard him say during the siege Of At
 lanta when We were near the powder house in trenches, that he would like to challenge every man in the Yankee army to shoot 1t out" one at A time. The river at Oconey bridge was quite a small affair and under protection of the swamp and dense shade the Yam kees were soon within sixty wards of us.
