BOYS ORGANIZE UNIQUE CLUB
They Thought They Would Follow
Example Of Their Elders
Methods Entirely Original.

Boys are initiative creatures. They
like to do what they see their elders
doing and sometimes they improve on
the example set them. A. club woman
tells a story Of how her small nephew
and his friends caught the organiza.
ton fever and got up club of their
own. The methods of the Junior Ath.
letic club were entirely original. Its
business seemed to consist principally
of electing and expelling members,
the same member being taken in and
put out again several times week.
What did you do at your meeting7"
the aunt inquired one day.

that Tom was exempt from being
seized by the neck and brought into
the meeting without his own volition.

ORIGIN OF DOMESTIC GOAT
Animal Was Originally Native Of Hiah.
lands Of Asia-known Since Be-
ginning Of History.

The common or domestic goat was
originally a native Of the highlands
of Asia. Naturalists generally regard
1t as having descended from an animal
found III the Caucasus mountains and
the hill country Of Persia, called in the
Persian language the pesang. It's legs
are longer than those of the common
goat, and its horns are very much
larger. The common goat has existed
as domestic animal in oriental coun-
tries from the very earliest times.
From there it spread all over the
world, manifesting remarkable
adaptability to climate and circum-
stances. In this diversity of surround
ings great diversity of breedc has an.
peared, such as the Angora goat, the
Syrian goat, the Cashmere goat, the
Guinea goat Of Africa. and many otb-
ers. No quadruped, except the dog,
has shown such susceptibility of varia-
ton. These differences show most
markedly in the quality and quantity
Of the hair and in the relative abund-
ance OF the two coats, the long silky
outer covering and the softer woolly
hair beneath It.
Among the Greeks and Romans, the
goat was sacrificed to Bacchus be-
cause Of its tendency to injure grape
vines by eating the young tendrils and
leaves. All the species Of goats are
natives Of the old world. The Rocky
mountain goat, socalled.5 of North
America, really belongs to the ante.

Seven Hundred Years About the

"One thing l learned during re-

erage life of stone building is not
more than 700 years." said John H.
BRYAN, a builder Of Chicago. at the

tween the Six Nations and the United
States. Red Jacket argued aercely
against such treaty. and used all
his wonderful eloQuence to avert It.
Yet, when he failed and the treaty
was ratified. he promptly threw his
influence upon the other side and
rendered the country such good serv-
ice among his own people that In
1892 the president conferred upon
him huge silver medal. This med
al represented George Washington
and Red Jacket smoking the pipe Of
peace togther.
Red Jacket gave far more than
value received" for the Washington
medal. For. when Tecumseh strove
to rouse the various Indian tribes
against the white men it was he who
learned of the plot and notified the
government. His tidings did much to
help Uncle Sam check this wholesale
conspiracy. Soon afterward. at the
beginning of the war of 1912 with
England, he and the Senecas cast in
their lot with the United States. In
council and in secret service rather
than in fighting Red Jacket was OF
tremendous assistance to the govern
ment throughout that conflict. though
his admirers claim that in the battle
near Fort George. on the Niagara
boundary line. in 1913. he did valiant
work.
A Fight Against Progress.
To the last he held to the old re-
ligion, dress. language and ways Of
his savage ancestors, and strove to
prevent his followers from adopting
white mems customs. The only
change he himself made from the
primitive Indian life was In learning
to drink whisky.
In 1929 Red Jacket came to New
York, where noted artist painted
his portrait Thence he jolrneyed to
Washington in behalf Of his peoples
rights. By that time he had become
hopeless drunkard and little later
his brain gave way. He was deposed
by his own tribesmen from his high
office Of Sachem. mere shattered
wreck of his former self. he died in

Modoc Jack

Today Modoc Jack is half forgotten.
A generation ago his adventures were
everywhere told. Race horses were
named for him. Small boys secretly
longed to go west and capture him.
He was held up as an example Of the
true desperate. Yet, as matter Of
fact, he was more Of man and less
of scoundrel than he has been
painted.
The Modocs were an offshoot Of the
klamath nation in California. They
lived on a 65-mile strip Of volcanic
land known as the lava beds" This
ground was honeycombed with caves
and tunnels, affording fine hiding
places In case Of pursuit The word
"Modoc" in the klamath dialect
means enemy" And the Modocs
lived up to their name. They fought
their relatives, the Klamaths. for
years; then turned their attention In
1850 to making life peril for Califor-
MAS white settlers. Ben Wright. a
frontiersman. hit on plan to crush
them. Pretending to make peace. he
invited 46 of the foremost Modocs to
a great feast in 1852.
Ben Wright's Massacre.
AS the Indian guests lay asleep
after the banquet Wright and his COM
rades fell upon them with rifle and
knife, Strengthening all but five Of the
46. This cold-blooded massacre cowed
the rest of the tribe for the moment,
but 1t ended forever all hope Of friend
ship between the Modocs and the
white men.
All the local tribes were summoned
by Indian Commissioner Meacham in
1866 to Fort klamath for a confer
ence. At this meeting the Modocs
agreed to leave their lava beds and
settle on the klamath reservation
Jack and Schonchin were not at the
conference and they refused to be
bound by the promise They stayed
on, with their own followers, at the
lava beds. But when the government
threatened to use force to remove
them Jack said obedience is better
than war;" and made his tribe-3O0
men. women and children in au-go
with him to the reservation. There
new trouble set in. The klamath and
other Indians that were already on
the reservation at once made life mis-
cradle for the newcomers. To avoid
war and to stop the persecution of his
trtbe-folk Jack gathered his people to-
gether, fed by night from the reserva-

IDEAS IN SEPARATE SKIRTS
Garment Practically indispensable and
Wide Choice Of Materials
May Be Made.

If you would profit by the example
OF French tailors, you will order sep-
arate skirts of one of the following
materials:
First, a double-faced cloth that has
leaped into important place is being
used. 1t practically trims itself, and
will be very popular for this econom-
ical reason.
Then there are cheviots and serges
for lightweight models, and all colors
are In vogue. the neutral shades and
dark blue leading.
Heavy fancy suitings are very popu-
lar. The English tweeds and mixed
suitings are having a tremendous
favoritism shown them by the lead
ing houses.
Tailored skirts are not so straight
in outline, many showing slashed Of
fects at the side. and all are made
walking length.
Some have a slightly ::'aised waist
band, SO that no belt is needed. while
others show normal line, with a
stitched band attached to the skirt.
On others back panel is attached.

8oyewatha by name-was the feetest
runner among the Indian scouts en-
ployed by the British in the revolu:

covered long stretches of rough for
est country with marvellous speed. A
British officer toward the end OF the
revolution gave Sagoyewatha
CASTOR uniform jacket, brilliant scar
let and faced with gold braid. The
gift was prize for running.
Sagoyewatha's barbaric soul re-
joiced at so gaudy a garment He
wore it day and night until 1t was In
shreds. And thereby he won for
himself the nickname by which he
Is best known to history-"Red Jack
et."
Red Jacket was strange man.
Even his own people did not know
whether to desptse or honor him. In
battle he was coward. In council
he was genius. He was at once
patriot and a low politician; q re-
former and a crook; a friend to the
white men and their bitter foe. His
eloquence could sway whole Indian
nation" He could plan inspired
campaigns Of war or diplomacy. Yet
he shrank from fighting and often
failed to live up to his own teachings.
He sought to turn the Indians from
drunkenness, etc. Yet he died an
lmbecile drunkard.
The Man Of Many Natures.
Red Jacket was born near Geneva.
N. Y. in 1851, and succeeded the
great Brant as chief of the Wolf tribe
of the Seneca nation" Brant de-
spised him for his cowardice. and In
contempt nicknamed him THE Cow
Killer" Yet within few years Red
Jacket became the foremost man in
the mighty six Nations" talking his
way to supremacy among a people
who admired deeds rather than
words. When the revolution broke
out he and his people espoused the
British cause. 1t was as forest run
ner and scout for the English officers,
rather than as a warrior. that Red
Jacket distinguished himself during
the revolutionary years.
