Was Branch of Famous Elm Under
Which Penn Made Treaty With
Indians-PIanted in 1912.

Philadelphia.-An interested crowd
the other afternoon watched the de-
struction of one of Philadelphia's old
landmarks on Twelfth street above
Chestnut. the gigantic elm tree which
has for years shaded the yard OF the
Friends meeting house, and which has
a pedigree second to none in Philadel-
phia. The old elm was a branch Of
h famous Penn treaty elm in Ken
sington. under which William Penn
made his treaty with the Indians.
Two other large trees which have
been grown from the Penn treaty elm
are at the Pennsylvania hospital and
Swarthmore college. The old tree on
Twelfth street was planted in 1912,
when the surrounding neighborhood
bore a truly rural aspect. 1t was for
many years remarkable for it's mag
nifcent foliage, bat since the erection
Of the adjacent high buildings it
ceased to thrive, and recently showed
marks of decay.
A short time & a heavy branch
fell to the street. making a large hole
in the sidewalk. and it was deemed
necessary for the safety Of pedes-
TRANS to remove entirely the old land
mark.

for a long time, scarcely exchanging
a word between us.
1t was later hal same day, just at
the edge of twilight, when Kelly
called, "A sail" pointing eagerly out
over the port quarter. Then, some
upon knees, some standing, we all
saw it, a misty, white reflection, show
ing vague against the darkening hori-
on. l know not what it really was
"a CLEAN of canvas, a speck of cloud,
or the pinnacle of an iceberg-but as
We swept toward it, the night
dropped down over the waters blotting
the last faint vestige from view. Yet we
hung on desperately, the man staring
out into the black void, grumbling and
cursing, until the long night wore
away with no reward.

clearly; afterwards all grew indis-
tinct, commingled, confused. 1t was

forget the sight of that narrow boat,
tossing about on the crests of great
seas, or plunging down into the black
hOllows; the green water pouring in
cataraets over the %gunWale; the o n
slant bailing; the wet, soggy blankets;
the moaning of wind through the icy
cordage; the Tapping Of the sail; the
gray masses Of water curling over us

expanse Of ocean revealed by day

which we swept at night. We ceased

icy cold. Our fingers stiffened with
cold, u bodies shook from the chill;
only beneath the warmth of the
blankets could we find comparative
comfort. Hour after hour the men
lay, curled up and motionless. only
crawling forth reluctantly to take
their turn on watch. Our greatest
effort was to keep the straining cord
age free from ice, and to prevent it's

bows, yer which spray dashed In
constant shower.
Good God, how those hours dragged,
with the same heartless scene with

Most of us continued to live merely
because we could not die. Indiffer-
ence took the place Of hope, and we
performed our simple tasks automatic

De Nova and I took our tricks at the
helm, with one man always awake
forward to manage the running gear,
and only once during those first six
days were W. compelled to lower
our sail Or take a reef in the jib.
Then a fierce squall came tearing
down upon us from out the northwest,
a swift, sharp blow, heralded by a
binding snow furry which kicked up
an ugly sea, lashing us with heavier
singing spray, and coating every
thing with ice. For seven hours we
fought in a binding smother, every

An excellent exhibition of Indians is seen
in this show, there being many who have
taken part in conflicts on the frontier. Head
ed by old Chief Porcupine, from Pine Ridge
reservation in South Dakota, who was one of
the Indian leaders in the battle of Wounded
Knee and who really was one of the instiga-
tors of that battle, the Sioux made an inter-
esting display. Little Dog heads the Chey-
ennes and his followers with their squaws and
papooses add much to the attractiveness of
the show for the ladies and children
Bob Killingsworth, who is one of the chief
cowboys with the show, also won his share of
attention as he was one of the scouts with the
relief expedition sent to reinforce Custer and
which arrived one day too late to save that
doughty Indian fighter from death and hi.
valiant band from humiliation. Omer Swell
CERT and his wife, Kate Sweigert, who hold
the championship of Wyoming for rifle and
revolver shooting, also get much attention as
they were pointed out by known ones in the
crowd.
The numerous feats of horsemanship, sharp
shooting, roping and riding of steers rope
spinning, pony express riders, feats, and
various perils which are encountered on the
western frontier, were given in thrilling
way by those who have passed years in the
West. The old stage Goa Oh is robbed of
course, and the cowboys finally succeeded in
putting the Indians to rout. Old Trapper
Tom, however, is killed by the Indians. his
daughter captured, but again the COWBOYS
come to the rescue. Many other acts were
given, all of them proving entertaining, par
ticularly the great troupe of real Russian
Cossacks, fearless bandit horsemen of The
Siberian Plains, who also are here by per-
mission of the Russian Government and are
accompanied by a chief officer of the Cars
Kingdom. Their feats of daring on horse
back was GROWING feature of the bill, elicit
ing cheers from the enthusiastic spectators.
The street parade at eleven O'Clock was an
innovation in that line, full of novel features,
away from the old sterotyped ones, clean,
snappy, and up to date. 1t was the most rich
ly comparisoned and Wild West parade that
ever passed through the streets of Lewiston.
After the performers had returned to the
grounds, several free exhibitions were given
to the crowd that gathered about the tents
