EMPEROR" M'GILLIVRAY

a peace treaty, in 1888, McGillivray
began to look about for new employ
ment Spain-then master of Florida
sought alliance with him. For q
goodly sum he became a Spanish
agent, with the title of general, and
used his tribal power for SPANS adj
vancement. Then, 1890, he consented
to go to New York for a personal con
ference with President Washington.
He made the journey in imperial state.
At every city along the route there
were crowds and music to welcome
the Emperor" All this put him in
good humor. He readily made dip
lomatic and commercial treaty with
Washington, consenting to act as
United States agent, with the rank OF
general and a salary of $1,000 a year.
He also received 100000 indemnity
for the land that Georgia had confis-
Gated from him. Although he then
took oath Of allegiance to this country.
he sent word to his Spanish employers
that he should continue to look after
SPANS interest just the same. In
view of such loyal services the Span
iards raised his salary to $500 year.
This, with his yearly $1,000 from the
United States and his tribal proper
ties, added to the money he could earn
by grating and his income as partner
in large southern commercial house.
made him a very rich man.
Spain, Great Britain and the United
States were not upon the friendliest
terms in these days Indeed, in the
south their interests were forever
clashing. Yet McGillivray had enough
tact to keep his name on the pay roll
of the three countries and to give
more or less satisfaction to all Of
them
Past Master OF Treachery.
Though in the sworn service of the
United States, he did not cease his
bloodthirsty raids on southwestern
settlers Nor did he ever let his
oaths of allegiance to any nation in
terfere with his personal interests and
plans Of vengeance. 1t has been said
of McGillivray: HE was an instance
of a powerful intellect absolutely di-
vorced from moral principle"
McGillivray escaped punishment for
his countless offenses and died rich
and honored, February II, 1898 He
was buried with Masonic honors in the
garden of his business partners house
at 'ensacola, Fla.

WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS ALL

THE LUxURlES.

A young lady of Wisconsin secured
a certificate at the Milwaukee cffice
of the Canadian Government, anG on
presenting this to the ticket agent of
the railway at the Canadian boundary
line she secured ticket at a r. duced
rate which carried her tC Edmonton.
Alberta, from which point, about for
ty miles, she had friends. This was a
couple OF years ago, and the young
lady is now married to one of the
promising young farmers of the dis
trict.
In writing Of her trip to the Mil
waukee representative of the Cana
dian Government she says: Il enjoyed
my trip up here very much, and ez-
pect to go out to our homestead in
the Pembina district next spring." To
the housewife the information that
she has put up twelve quarts of rasp-
berries is important, as they picked
them themselves" and they might
have picked ten times the quantity II
they had required them, for there is
no country where wild fruit grows in
such abundance. The letter goes on
TO say, and this is interesting from a
woman's standpoint, the country Is
very beautiful" Speaking OF the
friends with whom she went I'D to
live, she says: They certainly have
a beautiful farm and house"-they

going from Wisconsin-"they have
about twenty acres of oats and bar

''The Spaniards are devils, and the
biggest devil among them is the half
Spaniard, half-Frenchman, half Scotch
man and altogether Creek BLACKBOARD
McGillivary."
Thus wrote Gen. James Robertson
the Tennessee pioneer. The man he
referred to was half breed Creek
war chief who went by the Scottish
name of Alexander McGillivray. He
had other names and titles. For in
stance, he called himself emperor of
the Seminoles and Creeks" He bam-
boozled both Spain and the United
States into giving him commissions
as major general and persuaded Eng
land to make him a colonel. He drew
pay from all three, countries playing
one against the other and being loyal
to none
McGillivray was born in the Creek
nation in 1740. His father was a
Scotch emigrant of good birth his
mother a half-breed Creek princess
In the sons veins ran the blood of
four ra~es-Indian. Spanish. French
AID Scotch. Underneath the polish
and learning he received, he was al
ways a typical Indian Of the worst
sort His fathers family planned q
white mans career for the lad They
gave him a splendid education: then
found a position for him in a Savan-
nah counting house.
A Flight From Civilization.
But the tame life of civilization
wearied him and he went back to his
mothers people. His education and
natural genius soon raised him to the
rank of chief. not only of the Creeks,
but of the Seminoes and Chicka-
maugas, too This triple power put
him at the head of fully 10000 war
riors and made him lord of a domain
larger than many European kingdoms.
Small wonder that he took the title of
emperor, surrounded himself with a
royal court and was accompanied
everywhere by retinue.
When the revolutionary war broke
out the British made him a colonel.
This title, and the gay uniform that
went with it, delighted McGillivray' S
bartaric soul Nor was the extra pay
displeasing to him. He fought for the
English throughout the revolution.
Georgia therefore confscated all his
property in that state In revenge for
this he waged war on the white set

the United States and England signed

CARING FOR COWS IN WINTER
Importance of Good Shelter in Cold or
Stormy Weather Can Easily Be
Determined by Owner.

The Importance of good sheltering.
in cold or stormy weather for milk
cows can be easily tested by any
owner of them. Let him shelter one
lot overnight and not to feed them;
then feed another lot all they want
and let them remain overnight out
doors in the wind and dampness. We
will be very much surprised if the
first lot does not give more milk the
next morning than the second lot.
Many progressive dairymen recog-
nize the Importance of good shelter
for their stock-the stock providing
their income. On the other hand,
many stock owners who know the i'm
portance of feeding do not appear to
give the credit to housing, which they
should. Even on farms where there is
plenty of feed COWS fall off greatly
in milk production if the pasture on
which they are running is exposed to
the cold wind
Neglect to provide shelter and
warmth causes the physical endurance
Of the cattle to be SO unnecessarily
taxed that it is impossible to produce
the full quantity of milk. Unfortu-
nately-especially with farmers and
villagers who keep only from one to
three cOWs-a system of management
prevails which in numerous cases
practically allows the animals to find
their own living, to put up with the
cold Of winter and the unshaded heat
of summer, and to subsist to a con-
siderable extent only On the natural
pasture. There are few parts of the
world where this system works favor
ably. Treat the cows right and salts
factory results will not be looked for
in vain

OUANAH

1t was a moment either for despair
or for quick action. Quanah chose
the latter. He rallied twenty-one of
the young men of the tribe who were
devoted friends of his That night,
escorted by these twenty-one youths,
he and Weckeah eloped. They knew
that Comanche law demands a death
penalty for such an act, and that
Ekitoakup would follow hot on their
trail to enforce that penalty. So they
rode day and night as fast as they
could urge their wiry ponies, and did
not cease their fight until they were
safe in the mountain Businesses of
Scurry County. Tex.
There Quanah and his stolen bride
began their welded life AS they
were still penniless, Quanah led his
twenty-one young braves upon a Sc
ries of horse stealing raids into the
grass country. So rich did the little
band become at this occupation that
other Indians Joined them The
braves returned by stealth to their old
homes and bore to the camp brides of
their own. Soon Quanah was chief of
a tribe several hundred strong Ext
toakup heard of his whereabouts, but
when he found him so powerful the
old chief wisely consented to aban-
don his plan of vengeance in return
for the payment of twenty ponies (the
original dover price of Weckeah)
Quanah readily gave him the ponies,
remarking as he did so, Il know a
ranch whence l can steal twenty more
before tomorrow
Now that he was no more an out
law Quanah returned to the Conan
ches. He made himself chief of the
tribe in whose village house he had
lived as a begger There, from a
stronghold in the Wichita mountains,
he reigIed over the Indians for miles
about and grew daily richer and more
powerful. Incidentally, he married
four more wives. Seeing the folly of
wasting his power in useless warfare.
Quanah surrendered to Gen Mckenzie
in 1875 and became a powerful citi-
zen of what was later Oklahoma He
persuaded the government to give his
tribe good farming lands.

Just the same as natural position.
The trough or feed box should be two
