CANONCHET, THE SACHEM OF
THE NARRACANSETTS
Blu Elmo Scott Uoison

THEY had told Canonchet that he
! must die.
Il like it WELL" replied the old
sachem of the Narragansetts. II shall
die before my heart is soft or 1 have
said anything unworthy of myself"
Canonchet had good reason to hate
the English. They had taken his IA
ther prisoner and turned him over to
his enemies, the Mohegans, who had
tortured Miantonomo to death. When
King Philip formed his confederation
of New England tribes against the
whites, Canonchet was sympathetic to
the Wampanoag's cause, but he did
not take the field Immediately. The
colonists suspected him, however, and
demanded that he sign a treaty agree
ing to give up to them any of King
Philips people who fled to him.
Deliver the Indians Of Philip?
Never" was the chiefs indignant re-
ply. mot a Wampanoag will l ever
give up-no, not the pairing of Wam-
panoag's NALL"
So the coloniSts sent an army
against Canonchet and on December
10, 1875, it struck the Narragansetts
i'm their fortified town of Sunke-
Squaw, r. l. There Canonchet lost a
third of his nation, but with the re-
mainder, he carried the war to the
colonistS with such fury that his name
was second only to that of King Philip
as word of terror in New England.
Finally in April 1916, he was cap
tured. The English offered him his
life if he would help them against the
hostile Indians, proposal which was
met with naughty silence and an in
dignant flash in his eyes, Next they
offered to spare him If he would send
orders to his people to make peace.
ST am a sachem," declared Canon
Chef proudly. ''You have no one here
of equal rank, so / will not talk of
peace"
'If you do not accept the terms Of
fered, you will be put TO DEATH" he
was told 81 would rather die than
remain a prisoner" replied Canonchet.
"0neka, son of Uncas, is here. His
father killed my father. Let him kill
me-"
His request was denied. They took
him In triumph to Stonington, Conn.
AS reward to the friendly Indians,
the Pequots were allowed to shoot
him; the Mohegans to behead him
and the Nantes to burn him. As a
return favor, the Mohegans presented
his head to the English council >at
Hartford.
So Canonchet of the Great Heart
came to the end of the trail.

TOOK ODD BELIEF FOR FACT
Description by Aristotle of Birds That
Never Existed Makes Humor-
Gus Reading Today.

Aristotle was one Of the greatest
minds of all tiRe. His philosophical
deductions and reasoning powers have
never been surpassed, but like many
another great genius he often made
the mistake Of accepting common sup
positions for truth. He was not him
self an observer, and his dependence
upon the observation of others often
led him into ridiculous errors. He
wrote in this fashion concerning the
phoenix, a fabulous bird which never
existed.
1.-THE Philippians and Indians tell us
or birds Of varied coloring and indie
scribable; of the phoenix of Arabia,
most noteworthy of all. 1t is de-
scribed to be Of the size of an eagle
with golden sheen about the neck but
purple otherwise, varied with roseate
feathers on a tail of blue, and with
tufts identifying the face and a
feathery crown and head. Manlius
says that in Arabia it is considered
sacred to the sun and lives for $50
years. When it grows old it makes
itself a nest Of cassis and twigs of
frankincense. In this it dies. Then
from it's bones and marrow is pro-
duced what seems a small worm, but
1t afterward becomes chick"
Of the pelican he wrote: "When
they find their young killed by SER
pent they mourn and beat themselves
upon their sides, and with the blood
discharged they thus bring back to life
the bodies of the daadn

Peculiar Church ceremonies"

Since a Spanish play, produced at
the Opera Comique, depicted dane
ing in churches Parisians believe
that dancing in such establishments in
Spain is quite fashionable, only they
themselves would be against such at
fractions in France. Nevertheless
there exists a church in France where
one day in the year-Saint Marcels
day-dancing is allowed in the village
church. At Barjols, they kill a calf
and cook it in the church and eat it
there. After the meal the choir makes
way for local orchestra, which hits
up the liveliest fox trots and SHIN
mics, and couples gayly whirl around
q floor shorn of it's pews and chairs.

TEDYUSKUNG'S DECLARATION
OF INDEPENDENCE
Blu Elmo ScoH Uotson

BECAUSE his name has been per-
~ petuated in a famous political or
ganization, Tamaneund or Tammany,
is the best-known Indian of the Della
ware tribe But there was another
chief of the Lenni-Lenape who ranks
as high, and part of the honor due
him has been paid In q monument
erected in Paramount park, Philadel-
phia, to Tedyuskung (Kekeuskung-
"The Healer').
About 1920 the Iroquois conquered
fhe Delawares, forced them to accept
the title of women" and began sell
ing their lands on the Delaware and
Susquehanna rivers to the colony Of
Pennsylvania. Finally the Lenni-Le-
nape settled ON the Ohio. When the
struggle between the French and Eng
1ish centered in the Ohio valley in
1854 the Delawares felt that they
were about to be driven from their
last refuge. They rose In rebellion
against both the Pennsylvanians and
the Iroquois and attacked.
A council was called at Easton, Pa,
In July, 1856. Tedyuskung issued a
Declaration of Independence. 1.-THE
Delawares are no longer slaves Of the
Six Nations" he said. II, Tedyuskung,
have been appointed king over the
Five Nations. What / do here will be
approved by all. This is good day.
/ wish that the same spirit that pos
sessed that good old man, William
Penn, the friend of the Indians, may
inspire you white men today"
For SO years the Delaware chief
had borne the commonplace name of
"Honest john" but now he was hailed
as King Tedyuskung," and was sent
TO give the "big peace halloo" to his
tribe and invite them to larger con-
ference to be held later. He started
ON this important errand, arrived at
Fort Allen and then he went on
drunken spree lasting for days.
The Iroquois derided his "declara-
tion' and sought to discredit him.
They failed, and from that time the
power of the Iroquois over the Della
wares waned. He demonstrated his
ability in later councils. Although 1t
Is charged that the white councillors
tried to get him drunk every night, he
always appeared at council the next
morning able to cope with them.
He succeeded in getting the Della
wares wrongs adjusted and his infiu-
ence brought about treaty of peace
which prevented the French and Della
ware alliance. He had saved the Ohio
valley to the English. His death was
scarcely heroic In the spring of 1763
his house was set on fire during one
of his drunken debauches-probably
by some of his Iroquois enemies-and
the old chief persisted in the flames.

Vivid Green.

A peculiarly vivid shade of green
is much in vogue. This bids fair to
increase as warmer weather and the
need of colors approach. Light green
undertakings in silk and voile are pop
ular, especially since light green is so
pretty when combined with white or
cream lace. White sport shoes with
bright green saddles" are making a
wide appeal. Hosiery to go with them
Is bright green with fine white stripes.

The Yellowstone remains the larg-

the greatest variety Of scenic wonders.
Everything within its more than g.
100000 acres is on a gigantic scale.
Distances are great; canyons are Of
terrifying depth; mountains tower to
monstrous heights. The geysers, the

held in allegiance until the new pas

ton.
Definite steps toward the consum-
alton Of the project was taken at
business meeting last night and the
committee on Ways and Means auth
orized TO lay a complete plan before
the congregation at the next regular
business meeting which will be held
in June.
The Baptists now own two. lots
near the northeast corner OF the
square. Whether the new church

be seen.

Among important subjects coming
before the nineteenth general con-
ference Of the Methodist Episcopal
church (south), which convened
here today for a three-wcek session,
will be that ~ uuificatiOn ~ the
northern and southern bodies. Dur
ing the past quadrenium joint
commission composed Of rcprosen-
tatives Of the two branches worked
out a plan Of unificatiOn II has
not been adopted by the northern
branch. The unification committee
in It's report 10 the southern con
ference will recommend that the
negotiations be continued, 4 was
said.
Another important matter is the
movement 20 limit the tenure Of
the bishops in office. Bishops now
are elected for life, but there Is a
widespread movement for electing
them for a four-year term, subject

effort to drop the word south
