Sockalexis was setting the diamond on fire in Cleveland. the aboriginal ball player has held an important station in the national game.
 Until John Barleycorn downed him Sockalexis was considered the great est infeld find in baseball history. Bender has long been Mack's main stay in the box. and Chief Meyers is second only to the great Archer as a backstop. George Johnson made an suspicious debut and was the Reds most consistent twirler on his first big league season. Thorpe and Tincup. ai- though they undoubtedly possess great athletic ability, are yet much too green for big league ball. That they may some day develop into stars Of the first water can scarcely be gainsaid. The ability is there, and it all depends on the patience of the managers.
 The Indians day in baseball is just dawning, and as managers in the va rious leagues realize the possibilities in the red men more and more of them will be given opportunities to show in fast company.

An Indian Scare.

In an article on Forts in the
Iowa Country" which appears in the
April number Of "The Iowa Journal
of History and Politics" published by
the State Historical society of Iowa,
Mr.. Jacob Van de Zee gives the fol-
lowing account of the terror caused
by the Indians in northwestern Iowa
in 1862:
THE Sioux Indians again took the
war path in Minnesota during the
summer of 1862; their plunderings,
burnings, cruelty, and massacre Of
hundreds of settlers north Of the
Iowa boundary stamped them as the
perpetrators of the worst Indian out
rage in American history. Settlers in
the recently organized counties of
terror, deserted their homes, and fed
in haste to places of safety.
Accordingly. as no time was to be
lost, five companies of volunteers,
later called The Northern Iowa Brig
ade, were organized by the state to
defend the settlements and thus quiet
the fears and apprehensions of the
settlers. About two hundred and
fifty men, rank and file, were dis
.ributed among several towns situated
between Chain Lakes in Emmett coun-
ty and Sioux City, and soon block
houses and stockades were erected,
chiefly at local expense, at Correc-
tionville, Cherokee, Peterson, Esther
vile, and on the Minnesota border at
Iowa Lake in the northwestern cor
ner Of Emme. county"

Softly tread,
Bow the head,
In this city of the dead.
Here are loved ones-yours ane
mine
Every mound a hallOwed SHRINE;
And the blossoms that we bring,
Fragrant with the breath OF sprlhB'
Voiceless messengers shall be.
Emblems Of eternity!
Do not weep,
These but sleep,
While the angels vigils keep.
Ours the sorrow and the GRIEF
In this earth-life dim and br1ef;
Theirs the JOY Of heavenly love-
In that endless day above
Day that needs no light to bless,
Save the sun of righteousness.
Trust and wait,
Heavens gate
Swingeth outward, soon or late.
Only doubt can, veil with gloom
Times sure entrance to the tomb;
And the souls that glow with faith
Shall find triumph over death.
This is the promise from above,
Trust and wait, for God is Love-
