WHEN ANDY LEWIS FOUGHT
CHIEF CORNSTALK

The battle of Point Pleasant on
American" battle ever fought on this
continent. Europeans had taken part
In all important engagements before
French and Indians against British
and Americans. But when Andy Lewis
and his borderers batled with Chief
Cornstalk and his Shawnees, 1t was
strictly native affair.
Lewis was born I'm Ireland, but he
had come to this country while still
a child, and he was no less an Amer
lean than the frontiersmen he led. He
fought with George Washington In the
French and Indian war and he became
lonial troops. He was six feet two
Inches tall and powerful.
Lewis was chosen by Lord Dunmore
In 1774 to lead a picked body of men
against the Shawnees while Dunmore
attacked them from another direction
Chief COrnstalk knew the two armies
were coming and decided to defeat one
before the other could join it-a fa-
vorite trick OF Napoleon.
The Shawnees attacked Lewis army
early one morning. Lewis had taken
out his pipe when the first shot was
fired. He coolly finished lighting his
pipe and then gave the orders to his
men, who rushed TO meet the Indians
Both sides fought "lndianfnshion,"
lodging from tree to tree and taking
advantage Of every bit Of cover. The
fighting was at close range and In
the smokc-flled forest frontiersman
and Indian came hand to hand-tOma.
hawk against hunting knife.
Late In the afternoon the Indians
gave way, but there was no rout.
COrnstalk was too good general for
that and the Americans paid deaSly
for every foot Of ground they won.
That night Lewis held possession of
the battlefield, but he had won ii at Il
terrible cost-75 men killed and 14O
wounded. Andy Lewis and his bor-
| dcrcrs had won the greatest Indian
battle In early American history.
Andy Lewis did not have II chance
| to make a name for himself I'm the
| War of the Revolution which soon fol.
| lowed. He was passed over for gen
erals of less ability and he died In
| 1880, an embittered, brokcn-hcarted
| old man. The fate of his opponent,
| COrnstalk, had also been Il sad one.
In 177T he came to II fort on the Ohio
on n friendly mission. He was arrest.
ed and thrown into prison. While
| there the great Shawnee leader was

soldiers IN revenge for the death of a

A PAIR NOT NEEDED
IN THE SENATE

1t is an acknowledged fact that
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the
Republican leader in the Senate, and
Senator Reed, of Missouri one of the
leading Democrats in that body and a
very able man, are both compelled to
make a strong fight to retain their
seats in Congress. Senator Reed can
not be charged with Inconsistency in
his opposition to the League of Ma
tions as is alleged of Senator Lodge,
Senator Reed, who has fought PreSi-
dent Wilson and the League of Ma
tions persistently will have to make
the fight of his life this fall for the
Democratic nomination. His opponent
is Hon. Breckenridge Long, who wa
in the State department Of IT," Viii.
son administration. 1t is said that Mis-
souri, democrats have becone tired
and disgusted with Senator Reeds
fight upon Woodrow Wilson ON ar
ter the great president hal retired
from office in broken health
Admitting Senator Reeds ability
they fee! that he is prostituting his
talents and is allowing his prnjudiccS
to control his actions.
Referring to those two eminent but
misguided Senators the Atiaut. Con
stitution ha# this pertinent comment
aside from then attitude tow:u q
international questions, there is lit,,,
IN the public II cords of odle ano
Reed, respectively, to commend rilhcI
of them to the American people
democrats or republicans.
Neither, as a senator, has been (:
builder, creator, a pioneer i'm any
field of thought or in any conStruc
tive enterprise. Neither ever gained
attention by having initiated any
worthy act of legislation.
''As a matter of history and of rec.
ord, the political cminence of each OF
those men rests, not upon constructive
accomplishments, not upon affirmative
achievement, but almost entirely upon
detructive opposition to the work of
others.
Each of these two senators is a
man OF unusual and unquestoned
ability and intellectual power; but the
masses of the American people favor
constructive and creative leadership
rather than leadership prcdicated up
on ability to obstruct and destroy.
That fact, coupled with the pow
erful influence of the womanhood OF
their respective statcs-an element to
be reckoncd with this year for the
hrst time since woman suffrage be-
came -widc--is very likely to
relegate Senators Reed and Lodge to
private life next fall"

"AMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
By JAMES c. YOUNG.
THE WORST WOMAN OF ROME.
cs.a,s.scececsooo,
20 by McClure NaMsnunnr SxndIcaIel

TT is difficult to read Roman history
without n shudder at the cruelty Of
It's empcrors. but we may well add an
o'hcr shudder for that ut It's empress
eS. Tie worst woman Rome ever
knew was Messalina Naleria. the wife
or Claudius. This Claudius lacked
character, lacked intelligence, lacked
everything. When he came 20 the
throne in the early days OF the Chris
tlan era Ii was woman who really
ruled ana that woman was Mcssalina.
She seems To have had little consider
alloh Tor Claudius. and did as she
pleased, boldly. Her excesses shocked
even Roman society. which had fallen
away from the stern days when the
Roman lived austerely, and had en-
t"red upon all the soft ways Of the
East. Women were afraid to attend
banquet where Messaina was pres
eht unless their husbands be Snatched
away from them. II they caught her
ihhcy. And 1t was whispered that
many men whom she favored I'm the
evening were murdered I'm the morn
ing. like the wives of the famous
liarouh-al-Raschid In the Arabian
Nights.
Mrssalina's taste varied from the
nrSt men In the state to the lowest. A
slafe, Il gladiator, trainer of AMI
inalS for the arena, might catch her
ey" ana be raised to sudden greatness,
loaded with gold, handsomely housed
ana pied with rare wines. Then, i'm n
few days, they disappeared, none knew
where.
AT last Messallna's heart turned to
Z. SiliuS, whom Juvcnal tells us was
n young noble Of great beauty" But
the heart OF Silius CHANGED to belong
10 another woman. his wife, and the
wife opposed Messalina by all the
wilcs at her command. In first one
way, then another, she frustrated her.
When Silius was sent for he had gone
away, and when he returned she for
got the message.
The rage of Messnlina may be Inn
aglh"d, and this opposition also put q
hlghA price upon Sllius. Claudius
determined upon a trip to Ostia. leay-
ing Mcssallna In Rome. Here was
"'' "Ipoi tuilIty. one TOOK IL, com
pclling Silius to divorce his wife,
which merely required the writing OF
letter In Rome, saying that the hus-
band dlmlsscd the woman. Then Mes
salina publicly went through the cere-
m0ny OF marriage with Silius, although
she already was married to the en-
peror.
When Claudlus heard of these events
he exclaimed, "Am l still emperorT
fearing that Messalina had overthrown
him. But her thoughts had been OF
things other than power, and Claudius
was assured that he still wore the pur-
pie. Messalina started for OstIa to
persuade him, and might have succeed
ed, had not one Of Claudius' freedmen
ordered her execution, which took
place In A. ID. 46.

REPUBLICAN RECORD FOR
SIXTEEN MONTHS

Senator King, Of Utah, it not only
a great senator, but great Demo
crat. Reed Smoot, the other
senator from Utah, is a dyed in
the wool Republican, but Senator
King is such an able and Jealous
democrat that he not only holds his
oWE against Senator Smoot bet re.
deems the state that selt these two
men to the Senate.
Comparing the records Of the
Democratic and Republican parties
when in charge of the government,
Senator King recently presented these
figures:
The prosperity of this country when
the democrats had control brought the
wealth of the United States from
$185, 900, 100000 to more than $780,
OOO,0OO,000. Now, since the Republi-
cans have been in power, one year and
more, they have reduced the wealth
of the United States from $500, ,0OO,-
100000 to perhaps 1915, 1000, 100000
to $225,0O0, 900, 900, so Republicans
can congratulate themselves upon the
fact that they have decreased the
wealth Of the United States from
t60, ,Q00, |, 600, o. 70 q naoQ. 900

THE LIAR

You could have taken a blakesnake

And lashed me over the eyes.
You could have struck me full in tho

But you chose to tell me lies.
Yet the cut Of whip is straight and

If the heart that strikes be strong,
But the wound from lie is a fetid

That stabs and testers long.
The liar is born with the yellow streak
Men shun from sea to sea,
You can go and hunt with your cow

You have lied your last to mel /.
