KING HENDRICK TRADES AN
EMPIRE FOR A COAT
by Elmo Scoff L-ufson

MO OTHER white inan In history
ever had more Influence over the
red man than Sir William johnson.
colonial superintendent, Of Indian af-
fairs. At his baronial mansions In
western New York. ''the Hall" and
THE Castle" he received members Of
the IroQuois confederacy AS equals and
1t was his influence which made them
allies Of the English Instead Of the
French during the FrC lch and Indian
war.
One Of the chiefs who frequently
visited Johnson Hall was a Mohawk
named King Hendrick. One day Sir
William received from England some
richly embroidered G. hing. King
Hendrick was present Wien 1t was un-
packed and the gaudy attire caught
the fancy Of the red innn. The next
morning he approaches Sir william.
Brother, had dream" he an
nounced. Indeed" replied Johnson.
what did my red brother dream7"
81 dreamed that you gave me one of
those fine coats" said the Mohawk,
and Sir William. greatly amused, gave
him the garment.
Some time later Johnson visited
Hendricks camp. They smoked
awhile In silence. "Br,ther, I had a
dream last night" finally stated John
son. "What did my pnle-taced brother
dream" asked the chief. 81 dreamed
that this tract of lan,, was mine
and Sir William descrired a square
Of the richest land In the Mohawk
valley, containing nearly 100000 acres.
Hendrick was completely taken
aback by the enormity of the request,
but he could not be outdone in gen.
erosity. After a moment he said:
Brother, the land Is yours" But"
he ADDED earnestly. "you must not
dream again!" BY playing Indian on
Hendrick, Sir william had acquired
land which made him one Of tho
largest landhOlders In the colonies.
During the French ana Indian war
johnson persuaded King Hendrick to
join him In marching against an in
vading force of 1000 French under
General Dieskau, who was coming
from Canada. On September 8. 1855.
they met the French at Lake George.
When johnson decided to detach a
part Of his force for flank attack he
asked King Hendrick If he thought q
certain number would be enough. IF
they are to fight, they are too few"
replied the chief. IF they are to be
killed, they are too many" Acting
upon this advice, Sir William kept his
force together and attacked. A great
battle followed in which King Hen
drick was killed while fighting bravely
at the head Of his warriors.

Red CrosJ relief in this country. The
suddenness Of the accident tested the

the expenses Of relatives Of the dead,

fires in the Philippines, one In Manila,
which destroyed 1000 homes. with a
loss Of 81. 100000 and 5000 persons
made homeless, the other at Tonic.
which drove 5000 from their dwellings.
In medical relief that was quick and
effective the smallpox epidemic In San
Domingo, which had q total Of $4,000
cases with 225 deaths In single d&y,

for action, and the same can be said
Of the San Domingo hurricane, which
killed II persons and reduced the
homes Of 1872 persons to wreckage. A
flood in San Salvador, with 4 death

In Georgia they tell Of a young
clergyman, newly settled over q large

One Sunday, after reading notice of
a woman's missionary meeting to be
