In great numbers, and they induced
other tribes or red men J. hostile to
the Pascagoulas to join forces with
them. They wished to drive the
Pascagoulas out OF the country. Tho
strangers came from the inland, and
made fierce war upon the poor red
men. The Pascagoulas were q brave
tribe: but the attacking forces shut
off all chance Of good fight on the
side Of the red men. who were hedged
down to the point OF the wooded
country SO dear to the heart of the
Pascagoulas. For many days and
nights the Indians fought In those
dark pine woods against outnumber-
ing foes. against terrible odds. At
last they saw that it was useless to
continue; that they could not over
come the invaders. Starvation stared
them in the face. Then council was
called. and the tribe talked long to-
gether. They would not give them
selves, their wives and their children
up to captivity or to death at the
hands of the enemies. A decision was
reached. Early the next morning the
Pascagoulas painted their faces and
donned their war trappings. They bur-
ned their wigwams to the ground.
Then, Selling their weapons, the men
clasped the hands of the women and
children, and slowly, unflinchingly
they backed step by step into the wat
ers they had loved so we'll, and which
now afforded them the only escape
possible from the Spaniards and the
heartless foemen of their own race
AS the Indians walked they sang. Not
one of them faltered. They backed,
singing one of their songs-the mu-
sic of it fingers along the beach and
will never die says the legend. And
thus died the last Of the Pasca-
goulas. their faces toward their ene-
mics.

QUICK ELEVATORS.

The elegantly equipped elevators
that shoot upward so swiftly in the
shafts of the tall modern buildings
are not the only fast elevator in the
world In the same building when it
was under construction there were
installed for the hosting of brick
and mortar elevators of the very sim
pleft sort that shot upward as quick
ly. In the old days when buildings
were rarely built above five stories in
height bricks and motar were car
ried up ladders on the outside of the
building by hodcarriers. A strong
mans work this, and in the brave
days of the old there were able hod-
carriers, but it would tax the strength
of giant to toll with hod of brick
up ladders outside of a twenty or
thirty-story building, and then they
could never get the bricks and mortar
there in that way fast enough, and
in these days more than ever time is
money.
Taxes and interest charges on a
valuable piece of city property are
running on all the time while the
building is going up, and the sooner
the building is finished the sooner
will it become an income-pro-
ducing property, and so when the
building has once been started they
start in up as rapidly as they can
and to help i'm this one of the first
things they do lis to put in elevating
apparatus for hrick and mortar and
other material, and this elevator is
always hummer.
men In the cellar of this building,
or perhaps on The ground floor, fill
wheelbarrows with brick and mortar
and roll them, two at a time, on to
the platform and pull bell for the
engineer of the hosting engine set
up somewhere within the building,
and then you hear the chatter of a
steam exhaust and instantly that
sight to whatever floor the building
has now been raised to-
There men stand ready to snatch
the loaded wheelbarrpws off the plat
form, and other men are there with
empty barrows to roll onto it, and
then the bell again. and down comes
the elevator with the empty barrows,
shooting past floor after floor so FAST
that it seems to be fairly dropping
down to the first floor OR cellar again.

thank God, when we discuss the war.
We've come to the time now when
all who were in the bloody fouryears

one or two shrill whoops. the best

that the aged veterans are now capa-
bic of giving.

Mr.. Taft resumed speaking with
clear emphasis, "and we are all Anne
ricans now and what any American
did then, we all cherish as a common
heritage.
There are those who say the war
was unnecessary. Well, it was neces-
sary; it was part of American his
tory, 1t is to-day a part of American
character: and nothing could demon
strate to the world the greatness of
our country as we were able to do in

centuries, and living through it to

MEAT AND MILK.


The complaint comes from the mar
cts of America that milk and meat
are advancing so rapidly in price
they are beyond the reach of great
mass of American consumers, beyond
the reach of those who need them
most, the poor people in the cities
and towns of America.
The meat consumers say the blame
must be placed upon the packers. The
packers contend that their profits
come solely from by-products, and
that these by-products formerly were
thrown away, were waste, and only
by their concentrated traffic are they
able to utilize this waste product;
that the meat itself is not taxed
from the producer to the retailer.
The retailers insist that their profit
are small and that they are making
but bare living.
The Secretary of Agriculture says
the increase In livestock has not kept
pace with the increase In population,
that dearer meat must be the neces-
sary consequence unless there should
be considerable decline in consump-
ton.
There should be considerable in
crease in production. Home and Farm

of its readers everywhere. For TWEEN

or wheat or corn or vegetables for
the market.
What farmer raises depends lar
gely upon his immediate market
Some men can raise milk, chickens
and eggs with great benefit; some
cannot. Most farmers can raise cat
tie and hogs for the market. We
only wish to say that the prospects
for fair prices for meat and milk
were never better than they are now.
