HENDRIX

wss = perilous moment. and Hendrix.
by his stanch loyalty. helped to turn
the scales In the colonies favor.
He even raised hundreds OF savage
warriors and took part in the battle OF
Lake George against Baron Dieskaus
invading horse OF French and IN
dams. 1t was during this-his last
cnmpaign that he gave his celebrated
advice to Col. Williams-wise coun-
sci which the colonel leader unfortu'
nately had not the wit to follow.
Hendrix formed q lifelong friendship
with Sir William johnson. who was
superintendent of Indian affairs. john
son understood Indian character as did
few white men. So when he appeared
once In q gor8eously embroidered SUIT
he was not surprised to hear Hendrix
say:
II dreamed. Sir William, that you
gave me that suit AZ present"
johnson (knowing the Significance
Of dreams and visions among the saw
ages, and realizing he was being trick
ed obediently took OF the gorgeous
suit and turned 1t over to Hendrix.
Next day Sir William sought out Hen.
dirk and. said: Last night dreamed
you gave me deed for such-and-such
tract Of land"
A Contest In "visions."
Hendrix, taken aback, but equally
well understanding the trick. grunted
sullenly In reply:
The land shall be yours. But Will
never have another dreaming contest
with you'll" AL
Yet the incident did not sever the
friendship with Sir William. Through
the French and Indian War he fought
at Johnson's. side and did valiant deeds
In behalf Of his white brethren. He
wore a British officer's uniform and.
for some unknown reason. always
went Into battle with q veil on his
face. In the expedition on which
Hendrix and Williams led the detach-
ment of 1900 men and during which
Williams refused to listen to the
chiefs sage advice, their camp was
pitched for a time near Fort George,
N. Y. The two leaders with a small
body Of men went out September 8,
lies. on a accommodating trip to Rocky
Brook, about four miles from their en-
campment They were ambushed there
by q larger force of Frenchmen. Fifty
Of their followers were killed or
wounded. Hendrix and Williams both
died in that battle. fighting desperate
ly to the end.
Tho aged chiefs death was amply
avenged by his Mohawks. and there
was bitter mourning among the Six
Nations for the fall of their most re-
nowned warrior.

taking each stick separately. he broke
all three with ease.
Three sticks tied in . faggot," said
he, cannot readily be broken. One by
one they are easy TO break. SO with

1t was by such quaint. common sense
phrases that Hendrix had won
throughout the colonies high repute
for shrewd wisdom. BY far his chief
claim to greatness lies in the impor-
tant services he was forever render
ing to the English colonies. not only
in the French and Indian war. but
among his own people.
Hendrix was born in 1880. He was
the son Of Wolf. Mohegan chief. and
OF Mohawk princess. AS was often
the custom, he became enrolled In his
mothers tribe and later strengthened
his bonds to It by marrying Hunnis,
the beautiful daughter Of Mohawk
chieftain. His bravery and wisdom
soon raised Hendrix high In the coun-
ellis Of the six Nations" He was
from the first loyal friend to The Eng
lish colonists. To his efforts largely
was due the celebrated treaty of 1854
between the Six Nations and the Eng
lish. NV
1t was dangerous period for the
British colonies in North America, for
France was planning to sweep those
colonies from the face Of the earth
and to claim the whole North Ameri-
can continent as q huge French prov
ince. In Canada and in the west the
French were allpowerful They had
made allies of many strong Indian
tribes, and were trying to lure to their
standard the six Nations" Had they
succeeded in doing this New York and
other colonies would probably have
been overrun by local hostile Indians

vogue for the picturesque IL strongly
marked.

are made with rather full fronts,
gracefully draped around the figure

or satin ribbon.
Innings for the long coats are OF
satin yelled with chiffon. or Of richly
brocaded silks. often having threads
of gold or silver running through the
designs.
