TEDYUSKUNC'S DECLARATION
OF INDEPENDENCE
By L NJ SCOTT WATSON

BECAUSE his name has been per-
II petuated in a famous political Or
ganiZation, Tamaneund or Tammany,
is the best-known Indian Of the Della
ware tribe. But there was another
chief Of the Lenni.Lenape who rankG
as high, and a part Of the honor due
him has been paid In q monument
erected in Paramount park, Philadel-
phia, to Tedyuskung (Kekeuskung-
THE Healer').
About 1920 the IrOQuois conquered
me Delawares, forced them to accept
the title Of women" and began SELL
ing their lands on the Delaware and
SusQuehanna rivers to the colony OF
Pennsylvania. Finally the Lenni-Le-
nape settled on the Ohio. When the
struggle between the French and Eng
llsh conferred in the Ohio valley in
1854 the Delawares felt that they
were about to be driven from their
last refuge. They rose in rebellion
against both the Pennsylvanians and
TIC hOQuOI duu dttdIhCu.
A council was called Mt Easton, Pa,
in July, 1856. Tedyuskung issued a
Declaration of Independence. THE
Delawares are no longer slaves Of the
Six Nations" he said. II, Tedyuskung,
have been appointed king over the
Five Nations. What l do here will be
approved by all. This is a good day.
l wish that the same spirit that pos
sessed that good old man, William
Penn, the friend Of the Indians, may
inspire you white men today"
For 50 years the Delaware chief
had borne the commonplace name OF
Honest john" but now he was hailed
as king Tedyuskung," and was sent
to give the "big peace halloo' to his
tribe and invite them to a larger con-
ference to be held later. He started
on this important errand, arrived at
Fort Allen and then he went on a
drunken spree lasting for days.
The IrOQuoiS derided his "declara-
tom and sought to discredit him.
They failed, and from that time the
power of the %Iroquois over the Della
wares waned. He demonstrated his
ability in later councils. Although it
Is charged that the white councillors
tried to get him drunk every night, he
always appeared at council the next
morning able to cope with them.
He succeeded in getting the Della
wares wrongs adjusted and his influ-
ence brought about a treaty Of peace
which prevented the French and Della
ware alliance. He had saved the Ohio
valley to the English. His death was
scarcely heroic. In the spring Of 1903
his house was set on fire during one
of his drunken debauches-probably
by some Of his ~Iroquois enemies-and
the old chief persisted in the flames.

JACKIE JAGUAR

~Any one who is interested in the
ways Of the Jaguar family will be glad
to hear my story" said Jackie Jag
uar.
II cannot imagine any one who
would not be interested in the story"
he continued, "for to me the Jaguar
family is such an interesting family.
perhaps other families feel the same
way about their family history and
that l can easily understand. But Of
course am not much interested In the
histories Of other families, though
other families interest me.
For example l like birds II they're
Of good size, and l like nice small
animals. l don't like them for friends
you understand.
II don't invite them to supper or to
spend the night with me, though In a
way l do.
II mean that l do not invite them
to supper or to spend the night and
give them good food and lend them
my best nightgown.
I'm the first place l haven't any
best night-gown or any night-gown for
that matter. l do not care about such
things. l don't even bother to have
q tooth brush. Not a bit Of 1t.
$50, of course, even If l felt friendly
enough to offer visitors my best night
gown I wouldn't have a best night
gown to offer them.
but l don't even offer them food.
Why? Because l do not feel generous
In that way.
II prefer to eat them myself! Yes,
that Is the way l have friends for sup
per or TO spend the night. That is
the way Jackie Jaguar does. He is
sensible that way. Why should l
waste my food when l needn't do such
a thing?
~ don't! That is my answer to that
question. And why should l enter
tain them and give them a party?
II don't! That is my answer to the
second question. l go forth a-hunting
at night. Night Is the time l enjoy.

PU-- TREES ALONG H W
Cogent Reasons Why There Should
Be a Termination Of the Present
Day Neglectful Attitude.

II you are short of sentiment, and
think more about money than you do
about the service that your soldiers
gave you, v e that is no excuse for
being a tree Stacker. Your help is
wanted In planting trees along the ma
lions highways in memory Of the
services of all soldiers Of the World
war. 1t will pay you In dollars, II
that is any argument. Property with
shade trees brings a higher price than
property without 1t. Roads with trees
give comfort to you and your children
and your children's children.
Shelter and shade are two Of the
blessings the trees give us. In these
days Of the scarcity and high price Of
fuel for our homes and schools, trees
are an asset as windbreaks. A group
of trees on the windward side of your
building keeps 1t warm against the
cold blasts.
The heat of summer is bearable
with scattered trees and their shade
along your paths. The attractiveness
Of any place is enhanced by trees.
With a little care you can plant
memory trees or home grounds, street,
school lawns, or parks.
Trees cool and purify the air. Pub
lie forests have been used for health
resorts because Of the trees. If you
plant a few trees together, happy
groups here and there, they will re-
ward you without fail.

PONTIAC, THE OTTAWA, THE
INDIAN NAPOLEON

TT WAS not q new dream-this plan
L of uniting all the tribes to drive
out the white man. Opechancanough,
the Pamunkey, and King Philip, the
Wampanoag, had dreamed 1t and paid
the penalty with their lives. Little
Turtle, the Miami, and Tecumseh, the
Shawnee, were destined to attempt 1t
and to fail. OF them all, Pontiac, the
Ottawa, came nearest uccess-and he
failed when q woman talked!
Pontiac hated the English. But he
loved the French and when they lost
North America at Quebec in 1853, he
wanted to keep on fighting. On May
Z, 1853, one smashing blow by the al
lied Indians was to regain this ter
ritory for the French and their red
friends.
The blow fell and the Indians were
so successful in their surprise attacks
that eight of the British forts were
captured and nearly all the garrisons
massacred. Pontiac was in personal
command Of the Indians around De-
troit, the keystone to British rule in
the West. He planned to capture 1t by
treachery.
Near the fort lived an Ojibway girl
called Catherine. She loved Major
Cladwyn, the c~ommandant, and be-
trayed Pontiac's plot In time to save
the fort. Fooled In his attempt to take
Detroit, the Ottawa saw his grand
conspiracy crumbling. 1t was dealt a
Anal blow when he received a mes
sage from the French commandant at
Fort Chartres. Ill, telling him that
England and France were now at
peace and bidding him end his war.
But Pontiac was not ready to give
ND yet. He visited the Illinois tribes
and tried to rally them to his cause.
They hesitated to join him. Glaring
angrily at their chiefs, the Ottawa ex-
claimed: III you refuse, l will con-
sumo your tribes as a fire consumes
the dry grass of your prairies ~
BY now he realized the hopelessness
OF his dream. AFTER one more attempt
to gain aid from the French, he gave
I'D the struggle and returned to De-
troit to sign a treaty Of peace. In
1869 he came again to Illinois. At
Cahokia an English trader named
Williamson, who hated the great OF
tawa, offered a Kaskaskia warrior q
barrel Of whisky to kill Pontiac.
The Kaskaskia was easily persuad-
ed. He remembered Pontiac's threat
against his people years before. Late
one night as Pontiac, u%nsuspecting
danger, strobe through the woods on
his way to st. Louis the Kaskaskia
glided up behind him. A tomahawk
cleaned in the starlight and descended.
The Indian Napoleon was dead.
