henceforth loudly declared the British
nation the greatest on earth and him.

For time he seemed to include
the American settlers in his loyalty
to the British government. For he al
lowed pioneers to build homes upon HE
tribal land at Wataug:a He even re.
ceived them kindly and leased ground
to them. But in 1775 The settlers. now
more numerous, demanded large
tracts in Kentucky and elsewhere
Then Oconostota saw the danger and
struggled to overcome it. To the
Cherokee council that was discussing
the question of giving up the land to
the settlers he made an impassioned
speech, prophesying that the Indians
would in time be swept from the earth
if they let the white men continue to
seize their hunting grounds The
council overruied his objections and
made q treaty with the pioneers, sell.

treaty was signed Oconostota turned

mover in the affair, and said:
Young man, we have let you take
much land from US. But l fear you
will fad that land hard to live ill.,"
His yelled threat was destined TO be
most amply fulfilled. Almost at once
the Revolutionary war broke out
Oconostota eagerly offered his serv"
ices to the British. With 10000
braves at his back. he fell upon the
frontier settlements, spreading havoc

NOT ALTOGETHER HIS FAULT
Verdict Brought In by Jury Certainly
Was Not FIattering to the
Accused.

A Wheeling Nv. Va) lawyer says
that he has heard many queer YER
diets in his time, but the quaintest Of
these was that brought in not long
ago by jury of mountaineers In a
sparsely settled part of that state.
This was the first case for, the ma
jority of the jury, and they sat for
hours arguing and disputing over it In
the bare little room at the rear Of the
court room. At last they struggled
back to their places, and the foreman,
lean, gaunt fellow, with a superla-
lively solemn expression. voiced the
general opinion:
THE jury don't think that he done
it, for We allow he want there, but
we think he would have done it et
he'd had the chanst." -Harper's Mag
azine.

KEOKUK

Black Hawk refused TO move west
with the bulk Of his nation" He
called on the Sacs and Foxes to rally
to his standard and to attack the
white men. The council had practical
ly decided to do so, when Keokuk
arose and by a marvelously eloquent
speech persuaded the bulk of the ma
ton" to keep the peace. His pleas
are. said to have held back other
tribes from joining the confederation.
Black Hawk was totally routed by
the government troops late in 1882 and
was taken captive. While his enemy
was in prison Keokuk made his own
position so strong with Indians and
Washington authorities alike that he
was appointed by the president as
head chief of all his nation" He
lived in royal state at a village on
the site of the present city of Keokuk.
la. Black Hawk returned from captiv'
ity in 1888, found himself ceposed,
supplanted and utterly subjugnted by
the willy diplomat.
The Final Revenge.
The local Indian official, Major Gar
land, at banquet given in honor OF
Black Hawks release. told che re
turned captive that the president de
sired him henceforth to obey Keo
kuk's orders In all things. Blacf
Hawk, in fury at this GROWING in
suit, declared he would obey 20 one
Keokuk smiled blandly and said:
Our brother is old. Let us forget
what he has just said!"
Maddened, helpless before tho smil
ing diplomacy of his foe, Black Hawk
gave the impression Of being unworthy
the loving kindness of dis great and
good friend, Keokuk. But members
of Black Hawks former band under
stood the situation and sided with
their old chieftain. Between them and
Keokuk's followers there was always
ill-feeling, and Often bloodshed. Soon
afterward. Black Hawk, broken-heart.

The Sac tribe met in solemn coun.
Gil to choose chief. At least they
thought they were gathered for that
purpose. One man-Keokuk ("The
Watchful One'')-knew better. He
knew that the chief was already prac-
tically chosen and that he himself was
booked for the high Office. For years
Keokue had schemed and toiled and
Intrigued In secret for the chieftain-
ship. He had many obstacles to over
come. For instance, he did not belong
to one of the tribes ruling families,
from which chiefs were always taken.
In fact, he was rank outsider" the
the old school would be likely to
choose to rule them. Yet by years Of
sheer diplomacy he had outwitted
them all. And when the election was
over he was declared chief.
A Blow and Feud.
Up from the circle of leaders leaped
an Indian warrior-Black Hawk. Dis
gusted at the choice of his people, be
showed his contempt for the new chief
and for the election itself by tearing
of his folded blanket and striking
Keokuk across the face with it. Keo-
kuk bore the blow meekly. But at q
far later day he avenged it. Thus be-
gan the lifelong feud between Keokuk
and Black Hawk.
Keckuk was born in the Sac AMI
Fox territory in Illinois about 1850. OF
lowly parentage, in a nation" where
ancestry counted for much, he never
theless set out early in life to rise to
the summit of power. His life motto
was that the men who knows when to
pretend to lose may often win.
Keokuk was too wise not to see
the uselessness of opposing the white
mems westward progress. He fore
saw that the government would soon
be allpowerful in the west So he
not only pretended to make friends
| with the white authorities, but man
aged always to use the seeming friend
ship to his own advantage. Where
gallant. impetuous Black Hawk broke
himself to pieces in the vain effort to
thrust back the tide of civilization, Ke.
okuk craftily swan with that tide to
| prosperity and safety.

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

''When my first baby was six months
old he broke out>on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
a scale. Then it would break out
again and it spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
it kept spreading until it was on his
hands and arms. I bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time.
He had it about six months when a
friend told me about Cuticura. sent
and got bottle Of Cut1cura Resolvent,
a cake Of Cnticura Soap and box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles Of Resolvent, two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes Of
Soap he was sound and well, and never
had any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura.
II have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap several times since
to use for cuts and sores and have
never known them to fail to cure what
I put them on. Cuticura Soap is the
best that I have ever used for toilet
purposes" (Signed) Mrs. F. E. Har.

10, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap and
Ointment are sold everywhere, sam

thousands of invalids who have been
afflicted with some chronic catarrhal
disease and have found complete re-
lief by taking Peruna If l should

In my last article l referred to the
fact that many dortors have used
Peruna asd have offered to write me
testimonials if l would pay them for
their trouble.
The publication of these facts has
caused some comment from cores
pondents. The doctors themselves es-
pecially emphasize the subject l give
an extract from a characteristic let
ter written by doctor. He says:
Dear Doctor Hartman: | have read
what you say about the regular ply
sicians using Peruna and their atti-
tude toward written testimonials.
think you treat them generously by
not cOndemnisg them for making such
offers. I know from personal exper-
ience that most of the regular drug
houses are willing to pay for that sort
of work l wish, however, you had
given the names and addresses of
the doctors you refer to in your ar
ticle. Your statements would have
been more convincing if you had done
So You will excuse me if l express
some doubt as to the good standing
of the physicians that you refer to-.
Do you mean to say that you have in
your files the letters which you quoted
from in your last article? Will you
let me see those letters if I should
call at your office I am the editor
of a medical journal and would be
glad to take the matter up as a news
item interesting to physicians.
