CANONCHET, THE SACHEM OF
THE NARRACANSETTS
TNHEY had told Canonchet that he
III t1ll1ct din

THEY had told Canonchet that he
l. must die.
II like 1t WE'LL" replied the old
sachem of the Narragansetts. Il shall
die before my heart is soft or l have
said anything unworthy Of myself
Canonchet had good reason to hate
the English. They had taken his ia
Their prisoner and turned him over to
his enemies, the Mohegans, who had
tortured MiantonJmo to death. When
King Philip formed his confederation
Of New England tribes against the
whites, Canonchet was sympathetic to
the Wampanoags cause, but he did
not take the field Immediately. The
colonists suspected him, however, and
demanded that he sign treaty agree
ing to give up to them any of King
Philips people who fed to him.
Deliver the Indians Of Philip?
Never!" was the chiefs indignant re-
ply. "Not Wampanoag will / ever
give up--no, not the pairing Of VAN
panoag's nail !"
SO the colonlsts sent an army
against Canonchet and on December
10, 1875, 1t struck the Narragansetts
In their fortified town of Sunke-
Squaw, r. !. There Canonchet lost a
third of his nation, but with the re-
nainder, he carried the war to the
colonists with such fury that his name
was second only to that of King Philip
as a word of terror In New England.
Finally In April 1876, 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 II he would send
orders to his people to make peace.
II am sachem," declared Canon
Chef proudly. "Y0u 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. II would rather die than
remain a prisoner replied Canonchet
"Oneka, 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 n reward to the friendly Indians
the pequots were allowed to shoot
him: the Mohegans to behead him
and the Nantes to burn him. AS q
return favor, the Mohegans presented
his head to the English council al
Hartford.
So Canonchet of the Great Hear
came to the end Of the trail.

LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD"
National Commander MacNder Offers
Clever Fling at Editorial Com
ment on His Youthfulness.

Being referred to as "child" Is
oil right If one knows the trick OF
turning the phrase. The New York
Times, In an editorial, referred to the
youthfulness of Hanford MacNider,
commander of the American Legion.
In the next speech MacNider made,
he said:
"You remember the story of the
shaky young second lieutenant who
was suddenly called upon to- take COM
mand of hard-boiled company. AS
he stepped to the front, some private

1T isn't the psychology of the

Here is another little interesting
item about the young girls-and there

the scarcity of work, wonders where
she is going to get the money for her

Secretary of Horse Association
Gives a Few Facts.

Cedar Point, Ohio. July 26.-Wayne
Dinsmore, secretary of the Horse As
ISOLATION of America, prophesied re-
turn of horses and mules to industry
and declared that there was marked
shortage of young animals. in an ad-
dress before the convention of the Ma
ton Hay association, here today. Mr..
Dinsmore said in part:
'fCavaIrymen who fought under
Gen. u S. Grant applied the name of
hay burners to horses and mules, and
soldiers ever since have used the term.
Horses and mules arc motive power
units. competing with all types OF
motive power devised by the brain of
man. Facing such competition, they
must deliver the goods The inces-

forms of motive power to sell brings

nomic grounds-to survive,
Feed Requirement. Varies.
The world has, according to fig
ures recently released by the Insti-
tute International d. Agriculture at
Rome. approximately one hundred
million horses and mules on farms.
OF this grand total the United States
has little over nineteen million horses
and five million mules on farms, and
there are around two million more at
work in cities.
THE amount of feed required for
horses varies with their age, size, type
and the character of work they are
engaged in. Analysis of the food re-
quirements of large number of
horses shows that the average amount
required is approximately three tons
of hay and three tons of grain per
horse or mule a year. The two mill
lion horses and mules used in cities
therefore require around six million
tons of hay annually.
Too Many Dealers.
There are unQueStionably too
many men engaged in the hay bust
ness. The result is that many firms
are not selling one-third as much hay
as they could easily handle and hay
costs are increased to horse users and
no one benefits. This problem of the
elimination of superfluous dealers is
one that must be worked out by your
own organization, and may well be-
gin with the suppression of the short
weight specialist. The reduction in
horse use in cities between 1910 and
1920, now shown by the census to
have been 80 per cent, was due very
largely to sheer neglect on the part of
horsemen and allied interests.

and mules in cities during the period
