DESERVED HONORS PAID HIM
Monument at Washington Recalls
Notable Services Rendered by In
dian Chief to Young Republic.

In the old Congressional cemetery
at Washington stands a monument, the
subject OF which is known to very few
of even the well-informed citizens Of
this country 1t commentaries Push
mataha, a Choctaw Indian chief whose
remains lie underneath. The monu-
ment was erected by his brother chiefs
who were associated with him in a
delegation to Washington in 1924.
Pushmataha was chiefly celebrated
for his unfaltering friendship for the
young American republic, and through
out his life he was able to demonstrate
this friendship in various valuable
ways. During the War of 1912 he
headed the Indians who composed a
portion Of Andrew Jackson's army, and
his services in that conflict were so
noteworthy that Jackson granted him
a commission rs brigadier general. He
co-operated with the white authorities
in the removal Of the Choctaws from
their original location in the Missis-
sippi country to what was later Indian
territory. He died in 1924 while on a
visit to Washington in connection
with this removal.

American Expedition tac uaear-.l1j
Graves OF So o. 1T Once
Bore Proud +. 2yalty.

Objects unearthed at El-Kur'u,?. or
the Upper Nile. by the HarvarD .:..-
versity, Museum of Fine Arts expedi-
ton shed new light ON the early his
tory Of Ethiopia, the tombs OF all the
kings from $50 B. G. to $50 B. e. hav-
ing been recovered.
1t is known that King Piankhy was
q great connoisseur Of horses. In his
account of his besledng the Egyptian
city of Eshmun he tells of his anger
at finding the horses of King Namlat
starved thin as a result of the siege.
Hence it is reasonably conjectured
that Piankhy started a cemetery of
horse graves which was found at Ell
kur'uw-the only burying ground of
its kind that has been discovered in
the Nile valley. Here, in four rows,
are the graves of the steeds Of several
monarchs. They have been plundered,
but not so thoroughly as to prevent
finding some of the trappings; q
plume carrier, a silver head band, four
strings of very large bronze balls,
beads, amulets and other objects.
These horses were manifestly sac
rifced at the funeral of the king in
order that their spirits might accom-
pany his into the other world The
sacrifice of men and animals at fu-
nerals is now well established as an
ancient Ethiopian custom by eXcava-
tons in Kerma. But the sacrifice of
horses was a thousand years before
the beginning of the Ethiopian mon,
archy, and in all the royal tombs Of
Napata no other survival of the Gus,
tom was detected.

GIRLS CLOSE EYES III El0WEs

Picture From Its Beginning

The last scenes of q film drama were
Pickering to their inevitable denoue-
ment. The fight between the hero and
the villain was over, the chasing Of
automobiles had been so far exhaust
ed that there was hardly a character
who hadn't chased or been chased by
every other character.
Suddeny q woman in the audience
noticed two nice girls near her whose
eyes were peacefully closed. Her heart
went out to them in sympathy, for she
assumed that they were blind and that
they went to the movies just to hear
the professor punch the piano, al
though that seemed too awful to be
true.
But when the picture ended and the
lights flashed on, the two girls opened
four perfectly good eyes, looked at
each other and smiled.
Did you really keep your eyes
shut?" demanded one. Honest to
goodness l debut did your? coun-
tered the other.

Fashions in Flowers.

Flowers have not always meant
beauty alone. In the days of the
French revolution to wear or even pos
sess the prescribed fieur-de-lys meant
death. Likewise, after Waterloo and
the fall from power Of the Napoleonic
regime, the violet, which had been
chosen as the emblem of the Napol-
cons, was forced to disappear from
public view. Yet later, as times
changed, history found the Empress
Eugene wearing the violet on her
breast at ball in the Tuileries to
signify to the world that she had &C.
copied the hand of Napoleon III.
Nor have the, same flowers always
found favor in the eyes of the world
Some flowers have their fashions, too,
as, for example, the camelia and the
once deSpised suntlower and marigold
1t was through Dumas that the waxen
beauty of the camelia came into gen.
eral favor, and the pre-Raphaelites re-
stored to high place the sunfower and
the marigOld, the mythical goldflower
Of the Greeks.-EXchange.

WON FAME AS SEA FIGHTER
Scandinavian Hero Also the Center Of
Many Legends That Have En-
deared Him to Posterity.

One of the great scandinavian
heroes of modern times was TOrdenks-
jold, who rose from the rank Of naval
cadet to admiral in eight years, and
died at the age of thirty, and is ac-
counted today as naval strategist Of
the first order. 1t was TOrdenksjold
who, by his operations against Charles
XII of Sweden, preserved the freedom
of his native Norway and saved the in
tegrity Of Denmark.
All his experiences were exceed
ingly colorful and picturesque, so much
so, indeed, that legend has been busy
in providing him with an array of adj
ventures which undoubtedly never hap
pened. One of these is the story that
when boy, he sat down on grind
stone to wear out the leather patches
which had been put on the seat of his
trousers as punishment for tearing
his clothes. Once he pursued frigate
much larger than his own until his
ammunition gave out. He sent word
to the enemy. inviting the commander
to come aboard for a glass of wine and
asking whether he would lend some
powder to continue the fight. 1t was
this sort of bravado which his age
delighted in. He was killed in a duel
in 1920.

The sad accident of last Sat

Of Stanhope, has been the chief
topic of conservation since that
day. Mr.. Duguay and family
were well-known in this section
having lived here for a number
of years. The unfortunate
plight of the remaining men,
bers of the family has aroused
the deepest sympathy.
J E Bourque, local dealer for
the "WillysnLight" reports a
very satisfactory business for
this season and that in the past
week two new installations
were made in Holland and one
contract signed for a large

Word has just been received
from the towns of Barford and
Dixville, Que, that it has been
decided to build the new road
from Norton Mills to Coati-
cook. This decision will be
hailed with joy by all the trav-
ellers in this section as it will
mean a continuous road from
Island Pond to Sherbrooke and
Montreal. The question has
always met with stern opposi-
ton from both DiXville and
Barford, and at the meeting
Monday evening, when the
question came to a vote, it was
found that the council was e.

Gold Knives Used to Carve Sacrifices.

At Chichen-itza, in Yucatan, where
there is sacred sinking well, there
has been found all sorts of beautiful
sacrifices imbedded in the mud. Jade
necklaces, gold plates and small jars
heavily studded with jade, sometimes
containing human hearts, have been
found in this well. The Maya Indians
made these sacrifices when they want
ed rain or a blessing for their crops
Beautiful gold knives that were un-
doubtedly used to carve up the victims
of sacrifice, usually young women
have also been found.
The Maya Indians of northern Yu-
catan probably use the same language
as the builders of the ruins among
which they live says Prof. A. NJ. Toz-
ger, of Harvard university.

After several years, friends
of the work in Cleveland de-
sired to make a trial of an or
ganization separated from the

agreed, believing that the mat

its merits. After a year of
experiment, the Cleveland
friends advised a return to the
former connection. Mr.. Van

still larger building was erect
ed on a new site. A similar
large and commodious building
was erected about that time at
Philadelphia for Pennsylvania
Railroad employees. At the
close of the century and of Mr.

During the administration of

which lasted until 1911, the
Railroad Associations and

$1,000 members and 172 build

LITTLE TURTLE VS.. HARMAR
AND ST. CLAIR
By Elmo Scott Doison

n NCE upon q time George Wash
~ ingtOn flew into towering rage.
News of the defeat Of Gen. Arthur st.
Clair had just been brought to him.
-Striding up and down I'm his Office,
Washington stormed to his secretary ::
"Afy last words to him were, Beware
of u surprise!' And now he has al.
lowed that fine army to be cut to
pieces and his soldiers butchered!
Had his excellency told the unfor.
tunate general that he was being sent
against the craftiest and most ener-
getic Indian leader In the country,
Little Turtle (AIichikiniqua), chief Of
the Miamis. the result might have
been different.
At the close Of the Revolution, all
efforts to pacify the tribes in Ohio and
Indiana having failed the government
sent an army Of 1,5OO men under Gen.
Josiah Harmar against the confedera.
ton Of Miamis, Wyandottes, Pottawato-
mics, Ottawas, Shawnees, Delawares
and Chippewas led by Little Turtle.
The next year Washington sent st.
Clair. Little Turtle launched furi-
early one morning and forced him to
retreat. The retreat became a rOut
For four miles the screeching savages
ragged at the heels Of the stampeded
army. Then Little Turtle stopped the
pursuit. 1--WE have killed enough of
the white men. Let us now divide
the spoils." he said. Next to Brad.
docks defeat, st. Clair's was the worst
In the history OF our Indian wars. He
lost $50 killed, go wounded and all Of
his supplies.
Then Mad Anthony" Wayne took
the field and offered the Indians either
peace or war Little Turtle counselled
peace. "We have beaten the enemy
twice, but we cannot expect the same
good fortune to attend us always" he
told his warriors. 1.-The Americans are
now led by Black Snake the chief
who never sleeps. Something whispers
to me that 1t would be well to listen
to his offers Of peace"
One Of the chiefs accused Little Tur.
tie Of cowardice. Stung by the unde.
served charge, the Miami chieftain con.
sented to attack Wayne. His fears
were justified for "Black Snake" de.

SOUTHERN FARMERS AND
MERCHANTS CAN CONTROL
COTTON MARKET

Former Senator Hoke Smith, who
is now living in Washington and do
ing big law practice, has always
much interest in the cotton planters
problems, is very optimistic in regard
to the future of cotton. He claims
that at this time that the holders of
spot cotton this year occupy a posi-
tion from which they entitled to name
the price, for the supply is 1880, 900
bales less than the demand. If the
agencies have the 2,5OO,OOO bales un-
der contract, which is claimed, they
are in position easily to obtain thirty
cents pound for their cotton. This,
above all years, is the time when hold
ers Of cotton in the south should sell
only as the mills require it for con-
sumption.
Mr.. Smith says that he is of the
opinion that cotton will sell for twen-
ty-five cents as soon as southern pres
ure to sell ceases, and some of them
believed thirty-cent cotton probable
before the first of January.
The sad feature of this statement,
however, is that so much of the cot
ton crop is not now in the hands of
the cotton farmer. Necessity has
forced the sale of great bulk of the
cotton crop, but to those who still hold
their cotton and to those who have
pooled their cotton in the cotton hold
ing associations the suggested ad-
vance in the staple will be a great
boon.

CHIEF RED JACKET, SAGE OF
THE SENECAS
By Elmo Scott Dofson

WHAT Demosthenes was to I'll
w Greeks and Cicero to the Ro-
mans, Red Jacket was to the people
Of the Long House," (the Iroquois In
dians). He was member Of the i'm
portant Wolf clan, of the Seneca tribe,
and his Indian name of Sl,a- -goie-
watha, "He Who Causes Them to
Keep Awake" referred to the most
marked characteristic of his clan
animal instead of the chiefs OratOrical
powers.
During the Revolution, Red Jacket
tried to. hold his people neutral, but
being overruled by his tribe, he en-
listed under the British flag. His in
telligence soon brought him to the
notice Of the English officers and one
Of them gave him a scarlet jacket.
Red Jacket was not a fighter. He
was at his best in the council. Il am
an orator; was born an orator" was
his boastful declaration. He was a
ready and effective speaker; he had a
tenacious memory, a. quick w.t. and a
gift Of biting sarcasm. He was
especially hostile to the missionaries
who came upon the Seneca reserva.

white people, why do they send them
to the Indians?" he said. "If they are
useful to the whites, why don't they
keep these black gowns at homer
Surely the white men are bad enough
to need the labor of everyone who
can make them better"
In 1881 a Seneca was placed on trial
for having executed an old woman as
witch. Red Jacket spoke In his de
Tense. "What? Do you denounce us
as fools, because we still believe what
you believed two centuries agoF

did not attend the execution, the chie

Red Jacket constantly warned nj,
people against the white mans ways
He had abundant reason, for one o.
the white mans customs brough

he became a drunkard and descended
