PIEsKARET, THE CONQUEROR.

IL took a mighty warrior of any
tribe to hold his own with the Iroquois
back in the colonial days. But Pies
karet (Bisconace Little Blazer did
it and his name became a word Of ter
ror TO them during the perpetual war
between these Romans of the West"
and his people, the Adirondacks.
One day early in 1914 Pieskaret set
out on lone war trail toward Lake
Champlain. AS he neared the Iroquois
villages he reversed his snowshoes so
that if enemy scouts found this trail
it would be leading away from their
villages instead Of toward it. Late that
night he entered their camp and steal
thily crept into one of the lodges. BY
the low-burning fire in the center he
saw that its occupants were asleep.
Working swiftly and noiselessly, the
Adirondack killed and scalped all.
The next morning a terrible cry of
grief and rage arose when the dead
bodies were found. Pursuing parties
followed a trail of snowshoes leading
away from the village but the warriors
returned without catching a glimpse
of the murderer. That night Pieskaret
slipped out from his hiding place,
entered a lodge and again killed and
scalped. But on the third night ne
found two warriors on guard in every
lodge. His game was up.
Then he discovered one tent where
the sentinel nearest the door was
asleep. Suddenly throwing aside the
door flap, he struck terrible blow
with his war club, sounded his wa,
whoop and dashed into the forest. The
lroquols were hot on his trail for the
remainder of the night and far into the
next day, but by evening there were
only six of his pursuers left.
Springing to the side of the trail
Pieskaret hid in a hollow tree anc
watched the chase speed past Ther
he swiftly followed That night Will,
the tired lroquois warriors lay asleep
a form glided into their bivouac. !
war club rose and fell six times. TIL
next morning Pieskaret with six NOR
scalps sped North to exhibit to hi
tribesmen these trophies of the great
est individual feat of arms ever per
formed by an Indian warrior
A few years later the Adirondack
made a treaty with the Iroquois. On
day Pieskaret met delegation fror
the Five Nations on their way to Wis
the governor of Canada. Singing
peace song in honor of the truce be
tween the tribes, he advanced with ou
stretched arms to meet them. Hi
answer was volley from a dozen gun
and Pieskaret, the Adirondack chan
pion, lay dead.

USE FOR OLD RAILROAD TIES

Piles OF WORKOUT cross-ties in pro-
cess Of being burned up by repair
gangs are fairly familiar sight along
railroad rights Of way. Every now and
then some one observing this prac-
tice writes letter to the management
OF the railroad, or more often to news
paper protesting against what he sup
poses to be needless waste, and fails
ing the question why tine railroad COM
panes do not allow people to take the
old ties for fuel or find some other
use for them.
The question is not an unnatural
one, and Samuel Porcher, general pur-
chasing agent Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, answers it as follows:
In the first place, it is far from true
that all the old ties are burned A
considerable number are constantly be-
ing sold to persons living on or near
the right Of way, who buy them at
nominal prices, usually 10 or Is cents
apiece, and use them for frewood
Such a method Of disposal is pract-
cable only in those cases where the
ties can be delivered at public cross
ing or other points where they can be
obtained safely by the users and where
the cost of so delivering them is not
greater than the nominal prices obtain
able. The company cannot sanction
he public going promiscuously over
racks and through yards to gather I'D
old ties. Such trespassing has been
the cause of about half OF all fatal ac-
cidents on railroads in the United
States.
Efforts have been made to interest
dealers in firewOod in buying the old
les, but not thus far with much sue
cess. The causes appear to be that the
old ties are often dirty; that they con-
tain more or less stone, grit and slae
wedged in the cracks, which might in
lure the saws used in cutting them
that in many cases they are partly de
cayed; that they are dried out and tina
their fibre is more or less crushed, s,
that they burn out too quickly.
Efforts have also been made to dis
pose of old ties in number of othc
ways, including Sale for wood pull
purposes for the extraction of chcmi
Gals, for burning and sale Of the ashe
for fertilizer and for manufacture int
charcoal, but without success in inter
esting parties engaged in these occu
pations.

A Cure" For Ivy Poisoning

The fear of poison ivy, which has
kept many a city dweller away from
the woods and meadows a whole sea-
son through, is now an unnecessary
fear. The specter in the shadows Of
the forest is gone. Science has pro-
vlded the means of warding of the ill.,
ness which otherwise would follow in
lection. The remedy is Just an appli-
cation of ordinary gasoline. Benzine
may be used instead
Science has discovered that the ir-
ritation of the skin, in ivy poisoning, is
no different from any other chemical
burn, and that gasoline or benzine will
dissolve and remove the poisonous oil
OF the ivy if applied in time. AS many
as eight hours may elapse between the
touching Of the ivy and the applica-
ton of the remedy.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT
BE CURED

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitution

caused BY an inflamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inhamed you have
a rumblng sound or imperfect hearing,
and when il is entirely closed, Deaf

ton can be reduced and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing

Gander Helps to Raise Family.

Farmers in the vicinity of Seaford
are watching with much interest the
experiment of gandcr belonging to
Roy Burris, who lives near that town.
and waiting for him to bring forth a
brood of goslins, says a special from
Wilmington, Del, to the New York
World
The patcrnal goose of the Seaford
farmers herd employed himself early
in April, as usual, helping his favorite
OF the Hook to build nesting place
and watched over her for few DAYS.
while in the watching and waiting at
titude he seems to have been seized
with the dual parental instincts and
after hastily fashioning a rude nest
suited to his own huge dimensions he
obtained from the mother goose eight
OF the fourteen eggs that were in her
nest in the process of Matching, and
after propelling them carefully by roll
ing them with his beak to his own home
ne took up a position on the nest and
is reported to be doing faithful duty,
sticking to his self appointed task even
more steadfastly than his experienced
wifely mate. He has been on the lob
ten days and there is much specula
ton as to whether he will continue an
other month, or whether his maternal
impulse will have faded out before the
date for Matching.
Another question that arises, and is
being discussed by the savants who
gather nightly at the country store, is
whether gander can be both father
and mother to brood of eoslines of
his own Matching.
There is said TO be no authoritative
ruling on the point and the question is
being holly discussed.

road work by the anne company hav-
ing the contract for the first five miles
Of road here. The second five miles
has been let but we have not, as yet,
been able to learn the name of the
firm or company who were awarded
the contract. We understand that
the company owning these trucks
have contracted to haul all of the
road material from the railroad at IS
cents per hundred. These truck
drivers will be wiser when they get
the material all out. Eighteen cents
per hundred will probably pay the
repair, gasoline and board bills of the
drivers but we doubt it. Forty or
fifty cents was asked by those here
who tried to get the contract. The
foreman of the concrete gang, we n
derstand, is offering 15 cents pei hour
for his men and the foreman on the
road is offering 81 so per day for
hands, and it looks very much like he
would have to raise the price or send
to st. Louis or some other phase to
get his hands. The Assistant :Engi-
neer, Mr.. Westlung, has had a small
crew with him whom he paid $150
per day, but all of his men have quit
the job. This contract was awarded
the Construction Company for $500
per mile and they can well afford to
pay their hands fair price for their
labor, and will have to do SO if they
get their laborers here. Men who
work must have sufficient wages to
live. No starvation wages will 60
