The United States was eager for
more OF the Greek lands. Mcintosh
stood high in the Greek councils. He
could be of use in managing treaties"
for the despoiling of his people He
willingly accepted the governments
offer and secretly became Its paid
agent. 1t was highly profitable bit OF
double-dealing- a time.
Fifteen million acres of Creek land
were soon after transferred to the
United States. Mcintosh reaped a rich
harvest by this treaty" But it
ruined him with the Creeks. They
made no open threats against the
traitor; but they simply met in coun-
Gil and re-enacted his own former law,
making any such future transfers pun
ishable by death.
In 1924 Mcintosh received g large
cash offer for his services in a plan
for ceding 100000 more acres Of
the Creeks to the gcYernment. The
majority of the Creeks fierceiy pro-
tested against this glaring robbery.
John C. Calhoun, secretary of state,
declared that it was cruelty unjust
President Monroe laid the treaty be-
fore the United States senate. And,
after John Quincy Adams Inaugural
ton, IL was approved. A letter in
which Mcintosh had offered bTihe
money to one Of the Greek officials to
side with the government was discov-
cred by the Indians. This proved the
willy half-breed's treachery past all
question. The Creeks-using his own
old law as a death warrant-declared
McIntosh's life forfeited.
This time Mcintosh was really
alarmed He retired to a fortified
house at Milledgeville and surrounded
himself with strong guard. The
Creeks went about the traitors execu-
ton in a quiet. business-like way.
On the night of May 1, 1925, one
hundred of them surrounded his
house. They sent orders to his guards,
servants and family to leave the place
at once. Then they burned the house
to the ground. Mcintosh, dashing out
through the flames, was shot dead.
No punishment was inflicted on Nc
Intosh's slayers. The question of ven
geance was brought before President
Adams. But, for everybody's sake. 1t
was deemed best to let the affair drop.
1t was scandal the administration
did not care to make too public.

with his own hand as long as he could
strike blow. Then he ordered his
fierce troops to continue the slaughter
on them.
A thousandth part of such cruelty
as his would have set any nation, in
late days, into a fame of revolt But
the sixteenth century Russians looked
on their czar as god, and bore meek
ly whatever outrages his maniac brain
might choose to inflict upon them
Ivan had seven wives in rapid sue
oessicn. and sent to Quesn Elizabeth
court for an eighth. But the English
girl he chose-daughter of the earl of
Huntington-begged so piteously to be
saved from the fate of wedding the
imperial monster that the match was
broken off.
Fiend as he was, Ivan the Terrible
did great things for Russia. He opened
it's ports to the commerce of the world,
established the first printing Office
there, conquered and annexed Siberia
and-except in his fits of madness
encouraged civilization and progress
among his savage people. He was
shreWd statesman, a crafty warrior, a
man not devoid of genius.
AS the years went on Ivan's insane
fear Of conspiracy and assassination
grew stronger. Falsely suspecting his
eldest and ablest son of plotting with
his foes, he struck the young man
dead with blow of his iron staff
Remorse for this murder fastened
Ivan's own death. Surrounded by

fresh atrocities-the tyrant wore out

long.
The silo comes as near to supplying
the ideal conditions as anything that
can be found, and it is available every
day in the year. 1t provides uniform
feed for every one of the twelve
months.
Highly sensitive dairy cows resent
any sudden or violent change in feed
and will show it by decreased mill
flow. The change from fall pasture
to dry feed is always followed by 6
shrinkage in the milk
In changing from the pasture to the
silage, the change is not so great, and
often the COWS increase the flow Of
milk when started on silage. Several
dairymen have recently made the
statement that the Increased profits

To Judge Prospective husband.


Mgr. Bolo, in his lecture one recent
afternoon on young girls and mar
rage, in Paris, said: "In America l
have heard that engaged couples often
go for a long voyage together 1t is
an excellent idea, though Tor France
/ should advise chaperon. Let the
young girl take a sharp pencil and
notebook, and take careful note OF
how her future husband meets the
little worries and inconvenience Of
travelling. For if in things important
man shows himself as he would like
to be seen, it is in small things that
he is really himself. Do not marry a
man of whom you know little. Re-

with his mothers people and was
made Creek war chief.
The Creeks were powerful fedora
ton Of Indian tribes whose lands
stretched through several Of the
southernmost states. The white set
tiers, growing more and more numer-
Gus, cast envious eyes on the rich
Creek country and appealed to the
United States government to get it
away from its redskin owners for
them. 1t was the same old story en-
acted so many times along the frontier
when the white man has wanted the
Indians land. The government turned
over several million acres Of Creek
territory to the state CT Georgia. Nc
Intosh pointed out to his people that
unless they stood firm for their pos
sessions the government would soon
have every acre of their once huge
tract of land. He then drew up law
which the Creeks eagerly adopted
making 1t crime punishable by death
for Creek to try to sell to the United
States any of the remaining territory.
This law made Mcintosh immensely
popular with the Indians. He now
proceeded to make himself equally
popular with the government.
In the War OF 1912 most Of the
Creeks sided with Great Britain. But
Mcintosh declared himself friend of
the United States and managed to
raise big war party, which followed
him against the rest of his nation "
He attacked village of Creeks Cat
ASH that had sided with England and
massacred its 200 men, women and
children. In other conflicts of that
same war he fought so savagely
against his own people as to win not
only the rank of major, but the trust

services opened to him pleasant field
