MADOC AMANDA

MaGockawando, sachem and war
chief Of the mighty Penobscot tribe,
had q grievance. He had often de-
clared that he and his people could
live on terms Of peace and goodfel-
lowship with the English colonists.
He had ordered the Penobscots to pre-
serve such peace, and he Loyalty re-
lied on "a treaty his adopted father,
Assaminasqua. had long ago made
with the settlers. And now those same
settlers were behaving toward the
Penobscots in a way that the widest
stretch Of Imagination could not con
strue as friendly or even peaceable.
It is not pleasant to be forced to eat
ones own words Of praise; and Ma
dockawando rebelled at the task. In
stead. he broke into history with q
series Of dramatic deeds which made
his name terror along the Maine
frontier.
Madockawando was born in Maine.
about 1880. His peoples lands for
the most part lay to the east ct the
Penobscot river and were a part OK the
much-harassed province of Acadia.

recovered it. The English, however,
still claimed the territory between the
st. Croix and Penobscot rivers. Boun.
Diary disputes arose; and In these dis
putes Madockawando and his Indians
suddenly found themselves involved
Between the French and the English
they were as the luckless cloth be-
tween the blades OF pair of shears
The Man With Grievance.
The English especially raided them
and seized much Penobscot land, and
there was more than one conflict be
tween savages and settlers. The In
dams crops were destroyed, theil
hunting grounds overrun. The Penob
scots could not understand. They sent
ambassadors to Boston to protest
against these outrages and to demand
fair treatment The ambassadors were
seized, disarmed and thrown into pris
on. The English took, indeed, some
perfunctory steps toward reconcilia
ton. But, as they could make no def
mite promises of restitution or of bet
ter conduct, affairs only grew worse
Madockawando made fervent appea
to the English commissioners at a for
NAL council wherein he set forth his
grievances, and ended by asking:
What are we to do for winter sup
plies, now that our crops are gone.
How can We buy powder and shot.
Shall we die of hunger or appeal tt
the French for aid?"
The commissioners evaded the ques
ttons and advised him to wait unit
they could confer with the colonia

would grant him no satisfaction,

ful intentions and went ON the war
path. During his wholesale ravages
he seized sixty settlers and held them
as hostages for his, own imprisoned
ENJOYS. But these white prisoners did
not suffer as did most colonists who
fell into hostile Indians hands. Ma
dockawando forbade all torture or
other ill-treatment of prisoners and
would permit no unnecessary brutality
in any of the wars campaigns.
Every English settlement in that
part of Maine was destroyed, and the
whole region was terrorized by Ma
dockawando. The English, to curb
the fighting spirit they had aroused;
tried diplomacy where force had
failed them. In 1878 they consented
to a new treaty whereby the Maine
settlers whom Madockawando had
driven away might return to their
farms on the condition Of paying rent
to the Indians for the land they had
once sought to seize by right OF
strength. This was a triumph for
Madockawando, and a few years Of
peace followed. But other warlike in
fuences were soon at work. The no.
torious Baron de st. Castine married
one of Madockawando's daughters,
and thus helped not only to draw the
Penobscots toward the French, but to
strengthen a sort of feudal power he
himself was building up.
A War Of Vengeance.
The English governor, Andres, sailed
to Penobscot in 1858, burned and plum
dered st. Castine's castle" there and
destroyed his fort Madockawando
flew to arms in his son-in-law's be-
half; and new border war set in.
The chief event of this war was
Madockawando's attack on the town
of York, Maine, in 1851. He burnt the
town to the ground, killed " Of it's
inhabitants and carried away IS pris-
oners. This was but one of number
of raids wherein Madockawando, with
his braves or with their French allies,
made the frontier place of ever
present peril. He was paying his
debt of grievances against the Eng
lish with usurious interest.
| In 1898 Madockawando died. Some
historians believe he was treacherous-
ly murdered, with other Indian chiefs,
by Capt. Pasco Chubb during peace
conference" at Pemaquid. He was al.
together the most humane savage OF
his century and one Of the bravest of
| all Indian war-chiefs

RAIN IN THE FACE

A throng of Sioux braves and chiefs
and medicine men were assembled In
solemn conference to grant tribal hon
ors to the young chieftain, Rain in the
Face.
The young mamie was less than
thirty-had already won fame In the
,barbarous Sun Dance. This dance
was ceremony for testing the cour
age of young men. Rain In the Face
was hung from high pole by means
of skewers thrust through his shout
der muscles. He was supposed to hang
there until muscles or skewers gave
away. Meantime all the older men
scanned him closely for signs of pain
in his stolid face. Should he show in
any way how terribly he was suffering
he would henceforth be branded q
coward. The skewers broke and Rain
in the Face dropped to the ground
One disgruntled chief limited that the
skewers had not been strong enough
for such test So, despite the re
monstrances of the others, the half.
dead Rain in the Face insisted on un'
dergoing the fearful ordeal second
time. This bit Of pluck stamped him
henceforth as man who scorned
pain.
A Boast that Brought Trouble.
Now came the final ceremony to
determine his worth as chief. A
government scout who was trusted
BY the Indians had secured leave from
the Sioux to be present at the con.
ference. He happened to mention this
fact to Col. Tom Custer, younger
brother of the famous General Custer.
Tom was wild to 60 along and to wit
ness so strange q ceremony. The
scout. according to- his own story.
agreed to take him on condition that
young Custer would give his word not
to reveal anything he might see and
hear. Tom promised.
During the ceremony Rain in the
Face was called upon to tell Of any
brave deeds he had performed. He
rose IN the circle and related q story
Of having met two white men in the
mountains and OF having made the
peace sign to them. They had disre-
garded the sign and had fired upon
him. Rain IA the Face had escaped
unhurt, had followed the men for two
days and had then killed and scalped
them while they slept.
when Tom Cnstsrls heard this tals
4 he declared that he you'd not lot
