the enemy into Spanish territory, but for
bade him to attack n Spanish post. He
marched straight into Florida and took the
Spanish forts at st. Marks and Pensacola,
claiming that the Spanish authorities had
aided and abetted the Indians, well as
certain Englishmen whom he accused of
fomenting trouble. He captured the English
men. Arbuthnot and Ambrlster, and hanged
them forthwith in spite of their British citi-
zenship. Two Indian chiefs were hanged
without the formality of q trial. In all this
he exceeded his authority from Washington.
but popular sentiment throughout the United
States was In his favor. The Washington
Government feared foreign complications
through Jackson's energetic and self.sufflcent
action but England allowed the matter to
pass, as -Arbuthnot and Ambrister had OBJ
viously been where they had no business to
be. Spain demanded the punishment of Jack
son and the surrender of the province over
which the general had raised the American
flag Secretary of State Adams, however,
was equal to the occasion. In bold and able
dispatches he justified the invasion on the
ground that Spain evidently had not prop.
erly preserved the neutrality of her territory.
Negotiations for the purchase of Florida
were resumed and in 1919 a treaty of cession
concluded. The Florida episode differs
from the Mexican in the fact that on Jack
sons part, though not on that of the Admin.
istraton, a desire for territorial conquest
entered into the matter The present pur.
pose, of course, is purely punitive.
Republic of Navy Island
Another occasion on which foreign territory
was invaded in pursuit of enemies was that
of 1887, when the Caroline incident oc-
CURED. In 1S3637 a strong republican spirit
rife in parts of Lower Canada eliminated in
an insurrection. The leaders fled to the
United States and one of them, Mackenzie
with 25 men, including some citizens of Buff
falo, seized Navy Island, in the Niagara
River. 1t belonged to Canada Here the
rebels set up q provisional government and
issued paper money. They got their sup
plies from the American side of the river,
using a small steamboat named the Caro-
line. A Canadian expedition crossed the
river at night and seized the Caroline as
she lay at her dock on the American shore.
They fired her and sent her adrift to be-
carried over the falls. In effecting the cap
ture the Canadians were met with resistance
Several men were killed, including an Ameri.
can citizen. The British Government avowed
the invasion to have been a public act and
necessary to selfdefense. After diplomatic
negotiations the matter was smoothed out
TO the satisfaction of both the British and
the American Government.
At the time of the Fenan raids United
States troops followed General ONeill over
the Canadian border and arrested him ON
Canadian soil 1t is an interesting fact that
the Fenian raids against Canada resulted
In the training and establishment of a useful
force of citizen soldery in ne Dominion.

1t is easy to do what is agreeable,
to keep at the thing we like and are
enthusiastic about; but it takes real
grit to try to put the whole soul into
that which is distasteful and against
which our nature protests, but which
we are compelled to do for the sake
of others who would suffer if we did
not do it.
Grape, Plum or Cherry Conserve

cupfuls of graduated sugar, two
pounds Of seeded raisins, four oranges
and one cupful Of English walnuts.
