LAKE WEIR

Lake Weir, March 22.-The writer
spent last week at the hospitable
home of DR.. and Mrs. T. K. Slaugh-
ter in the progressive little town of
Oxford. The Radcliffe people were
also royalty entertained at this home
during the three days of the Chau-
tauqua. One of the old citizens re-
marked Oxford must have been asleep
since Armistice Day and was just now
working up the grand opportunities
that had been passing before their
eyes every day unheeded, until the
Radcliffe people with their clean,
wholesome musical attractions and
fine lectures put an entire new view
point before their eyes, which aroused
the pep in eevry man, woman and
child within a radius of fifteen miles
and was the cause of them signing up
for the return of the Chatuauqua for
next year before the doors were open
ed to the public for this year. Oxford
had the proud distinction of being the
first town in the history of the Rad
cliffe people to do so. The lecturers
are looking forward to their return
next year when they hope to see a
civic club in full swing, band to meet
them at the station, a children's play
ground and other surprises. which
will lastonish them beyond their wild
est dreams. Oxford has everything
to make it the garden spot of the
world, one of the big men told them,
and he know what he was talking
about, when he saw that fine audience
of 600 pouring into the tent twice q
day for three days and nights, which
gave them confidence in the men and
women who had put the grand work
through with a vim.
The convict camp has been moved
just beyond North Lake Weir, where
it will stay until the next five miles
of the road is finished, ready for sur
facing.
1t was with deep regret the many
friends of Mr.. Dwight Clark of Rhode
Island learned of his death a few
days ago at Gambler. Mr.. and Mrs.
Clark had spent several winters at
Lake Weir, where they came for the
formers health. He was highly es-
teemed by all who knew him. He was
noble Christian gentleman of the
old school who it was delight to
meet and be called his friend. Mrs.
Clark has the sympathy of the COM
nlunity in her sad bereavement.

STORIES OF
GREAT INDIANS
SPOTTED TAIL, SIOUX FRIEND
OF THE WHITE MAN

copyright. isal. western Newspaper emo

CINTE GALESHKA (Spotted Tail
- his people Of tire Brule Sioux
called him. 1.-THE White Mans Friend"
was the name given him by some of
his enemies among the Dakotas, who
regarded him as trimmer and a
traitor; but to the whites who bene-
fitted by his friendliness he is affection
ately remembered as "old Spot"
Spotted Tail had not always been
their friend. In his youth he had
been the terror of the Oregon trail.
He won his place among the great
road agents by robbing the Kincaid
stage coach OF $4,000. After the de-
feat or the Bruies by Genera! Harvey
at the Battle of Ash Hollow. Neb., In
1856, Spotted Tail and two other
chiefs, arrayed In their war costumes
and chanting their death songs, rode
into Fort Laramie to give themselves
up as hostages that their people might
be spared. The chief was held pris-
oner for two years and he profited by
this opportunity to learn the ways OF
the white man.
Although he became an advocate OF
peace, his policy Of Cancellation was
not one of servility. Once when the
government had failed TO keep its
promise TO return the Brules to their
ancestral home, the commissioner of
Indian affairs came to confer with
Spotted Tall. Rushing up to that Off
cial the Brule exclaimed: "All OF the
men who come from Washington are
liars and the bald-headed ones are the
worst. You have hut one thing to do
and that IL to give the order for US to
return to White Clay creek. II this Is
not done inside Of ten days ! Will or
der my young men to tear down and
burn up everything in this part OF the
country" The chief had 1900 warriors
10 back up his threat and the order
was given. Another time he said to
commissioner: II hear you have come
to move US. We have been moved five
times. / think you had better put the
Indians on wheels and then you can
run them about wherever you wish"
During the war Of 1S70.7T Spotted
Tail performed his greatest 'eryice for
the whites. He restrained the major
Ity of the Brules from going on the
warpath and he brought about the
final surrender Of mis- nephew. Crazy
Horse. For this he was given the hon.
orary title Of chief of all the Sioux
and the pay Of lieutenant ia the reg
ular army.
But as head chief he proved to be a
tyrant. His last high-handed act was
stealing the wife Of another chief for
which Chief Grow Dog. a relative Of
the injured husband, on August s.
1881. killed the great Brule.

NOBODY WORRIES

We have but recently passed thru
a war that tried the souls of the uni
verse and practically bankrupted half
of the world.
But nobody worries-in this country
We paid out billions of dollars in
upholding our army and navy and
stand to lose billions more that we
loaned to our allies.
But nobody worries.
We are only beginning to emerge
from a period of business stagnation
that would have rocked any other ma
ton to its foundation.
But nobody worries.
zens have had to be clothed and fed
and housed by their friends or by char
ity because there was no employment
for them.
But nobody worries.
Taxes are high and expenses are
heavy and everywhere it is contin-
ual drain upon the resources of the
people.
But nobody worries.
We see war clouds constantly how
ering over Europe with apprehension
rife in the breasts Of the world lest
the fires Of hatred again break out
and engulf the universe.
But nobody worries.
We see our army reduced to a bleach
ed skeleton and our navy but dot
upon the waters.
But nobody worries.
We see the nicessant and bitter fight
between labor and capital raging with
unabated fury, hampering construct.
ion, retarding progress, and raising
periodical hell from one end of tht
country to the other
But nobody worries.
We see political battles fought will
a degree Of ferocity that would sham,
a cage of Bengal tigers.
| But nobody worries.
We see royalty dethroned and re
duced to poverty, governments crubm
ling from decay, millions dying from
starvation in other lands and Who'll,
peoples gradually descending to the
savagry of the beasts Of prey.
But nobody worries.
And amidst all Of this scrambling Of
the peoples and of the affairs of the
world, why do the people of the United
States possess the moral and physica
courage to refrain from worry?
Because we are God fearing and o
God believing people.
Because we are republic founded
upon the tenets of justice and right
with a firm and abiding faith that In
the end right will prevail and justice
| will be done.
Because we are people who have
unbounded confidence IN the stability
