OSCEOLA

An Indian chief-light of skin, slen-
der, graceful, handsome-stood con-
fronting a hundred savages with his
drawn bow. The threatened men were
chiefs and sub-chiefs Of the Seminole
nation. Brave they were and fierce
warriors. Yet they shrank before the
leveled arrow of this one leader. For
1t was we'll known he never tWanged
bowstring nor pulled trigger without
killing. While the Seminoles hesitat-
ed he spoke:

which robs us of our land. The man
who sets his name to such a paper
dies at my hand"
The speaker was As-se-he-ho-lar
(meaning BLACK Drink.") The name
has been shortened in history to "Os-
ceola." His mother was daughter Of
q Greek Indian chief. His father was
William Powell, an Englishman. o.
ceola was born near Chattahoochee,
Ga, in 1904. When he was mere
child his mother fed from her English
husband, taking her son with her, and
never pausing in her flight until she
reached her fathers tribe IN southern
Georgia. Whether because her hus-
band had maltreated her or for some
other cause, she had a mortal hatred
for all white men, and she made her
son hate them even more bitterly than
did she. Both she and Osceola spoke
English as readily as their own Ian
guage.
The Creek tribe which Osceola and
his mother joined went to war in 1918
with the United States. Osceola was
only fourteen years old, yet so valiant
was he and already so brillia9t COM
mander that he was chosen as one of
the tribes sub-chiefs. He and his
people fought in vain against the gov
eminent troops and were forced to re-
treat southwark into the Everglades"
of Florida. There they Joined the
Seminoles. Micanopy, the Seminole
sachem, was old and a peaceful ma
ture. So the boy, Osceola, quickly be-
came a real war chief of the Semi
noles. For the next few years he
went from tribe to tribe Of the ma
tion," preaching against the white
men and preparing the saVages for
war. Then came the first great clash
with Uncle Sam.
The government decided to ship the
whole Seminole nation west Of the
Mississippi and to pay them a nomi-
nal sum for their Florida land. A few

TECUMSEH

The braves of the Creek Nation
5000 Indians in all-sat in solemn
council. They were lined up on the
SIDES Of huge square. Colonel Haw-
kns, the Indian commissioner, was
about to harangue them AS Hawkins
rose to speak, he halted, dumfounded
at a strange sight.
into the hollow square stalked a
tai Indian. His face was painted jet
black, streaked with queer daubs of
white. His half-naked body was as
black and hideous as his face. Upon
ms head waved a forest of eagle
piumes. Behind his back dangled the
tsa OF newly-slain buffalo. Like
some nightmare ghost the weirdly-
arrayed Indian strobe into the square.
At his heels were thirty other say
ages in like disguise. Around the
open square they marched in utter
silence. their leader hating now and

Then the odd procession vanished.
No word had been spoken. Yet the
Greeks, who had come to the confer
ence prepared to join forces with the
United States, suddenly changed their
minds. Hawkins most eloquent pleas
fell upon deaf ears. Nor could the
commissioner understand what had
befallen. He asked the name Of the
black-painted leader who had thus
boldly broken in upon a solemn coun-
Gil The half-awed reply of the Creeks
was:
'"Tecumseh!"
Man Who Hated Progress.
} Tecumseh was bravest and yisest
Of the Shawnee chiefs. He waA born
near Springfield, O., in 1868. When
he was a young man he won faIas in
the campaign against Geaeral
Wayne's Yankee troops. From boy
hood he hated the United St1tes.
| Nor could Gen. w. H. Harrison, the
local Indian agent, soften his hatred
He repudiated all land treaties made
with the whites, and in 1903 hie upon
scheme which threatened to check
westward progress. He planned to
combine all the warning westesn
tribes and to form them into q
mighty federation whose object was
to destroy the white men. Tecumseh
was helped ny his brother, ~the
Prophet" who accomplished a sepies
of neat. handmade miracles that
made a tremendous impression on the
natives.
The great plan failed, through the
loss of the battle of Tippecanoe tat
which Tecumseh was not present.,
and the baffled leader shifted to the

the south. Almost everywhere his
fierce eloQuence drew the Indians to
his standard. In alarm, the govern
ment tried to check this uprising
Hawkins was sent to urge the Creeks
to stand firm in their allegiance to
Uncle Sam. But Tecumseh was too
clever for him. By marching into the
council square and by the use OF GER
tain sacred Indian rites he quite
spoiled the effect Of Hawkins speech.
Then Tecumseh made a fervent ap-
peal to the Creeks to cast of the
white men, to give up farming and to
turn back to their old wild life Of
hunting and fighting. He said he
bore that message from the Great
Spirit, who also ordered them to side
with the British. One Creek chief,

and demanded proof

cumseh. when the hour for the up

and every house in your village shall
fall to the ground" This was in the
autumn of 1912. In December of that
year comet stretched across the
skies, and an earthquake overturned
the Creek village This was proof
enough for the Creeks that Tecumseh
was inspired.
A Mysterious Disappearance.
Meantime Tecumseh took the field
with the British in the War Of 1912
He was made a brigadier-general, and
at the head of thousands of native
warriors along the Canadian border
did mighty deeds against the United
States. Says one British historian:
But for the red men led by the
brave TecUmseh it Is probable we
should not Low have Canada"
At the siege of Fort Meigs Tecum-
sch was foremost in the attack. He
saved all the American prisoners
there from torture. For, although he
hated every white man, he would
never permit captive to be tortured
or burned. Just before the famous
battle of the Thames Tecumseh laid
aside his gorgeous uniform and sword
and donned his simple hunting dress.
When he was asked why he did this
he answered simply and fearlessly:
This day shall die"
Nor after the battle could any trace
Of him be found. 1t was claimed
but not proven-that Col. Richard
Johnson killed him. But his body was
not discovered on the field. Supersti-
tious natives believed he was miracu-
lousy spirited away to the happy
hunting grounds. His exact fate is
still a mystery. General Harrison
wrote praising Tecumseb's genius for
war and statecraft.

dashed his people to rebellion. Then
1t was that he called the council and
threatened to shoot dead the first man
who should agree to leave Florida.
M1canopy was as wax in the hands OF
the local Indian agent. But he feared
to d1sobey Osceola more than he
dreaded the power Of the white men.
The agent saw that Osceola was the
real power In Florida, so he spread be-
fore the young savage a cosy of the
treaty, begging him to sign it. By way
OF answer, Osceola drove his knife
through the paper. The agent threat
ened him with the wrath of President
Jackson, former conqueror of Florida.
Osceola retorted:
Il fear Jackson no more than | fear
you"
The conference broke up in disor-
der. Osceola's hatred O. the whites
was increased tenfold when they CAP
tured his young wife and sold her az
slave. He himself was captured. but
escaped from Jail inside of two DAYS.
After that, it was war to the death.
Osceola looked on the Indian agent az
nis worst enemy. Soon afterward the
agents dead body was found, pierced
by fourteen bullets Major Dade. with
ITO soldiers, was marching inland
from Tampa when Osceola and a band
Of braves flung themselves on the
troops and slaughtered all but three
of them. Then with an inferior force
he marched against General Clinch
and 1000 soldiers. He martialed his
little army like an expert tactician.
The Indians held off the troops until
all their ammunition was gone. then
retreated in safety. Osceola himself
is said to have slain 40 white men in
that fight.
An Act of Treachery.
Battle followed battle, with varying
results. At times Osceola used all the
willy tricks Of his race, pretending to
agree to the governments wishes;
then, as soon as he was strong enough,
breaking out in some new section.
When hard pressed he and his men
would take refuge in the Everglades"
At last, in 1887, temporary peace
was patched up with the government.
Under flag Of truce and a promise
Of safety Osceola went by invitation
to a conference in General Jesup's
camp. There he was treacherously
seized, carried to St Augustine and
thrown into prison. Thence he was
