This slump, Mr. Blair declares, was
accounted for mostly by repeal or re

The difference In the relative cost
OF collection for the fiscal year 1927
and 1872" Mr.. Blair said. lis due
mainly to the large reduction in the
revenues Of 1922 incident TO the
shrinkage in business and Incomes,
repeal OF certain miscellaneous war
taxes and various provisions Of the
law such as the amortization OF war
time facilities and the Increase In In

high plates from mats. The Censor
has installed large casting box, and

lustration they may desire to use and
having the cut cast in this Office.
Equipment of this kind is expensive

words here about the origin of the

those who did not know heretofore
of its existence.

and August two successive meetings
were held for the purpose of promot-
ing some cooperative action among the
graduates of the v. H. S.

scented at these meetings it was pro-
posed that officers be elected to pre-
pare some event wereby the alumni
might come together in remembrance
of those happy days that have passed.

STORIES OF
GREAT INDIANS
KING HENDRICK TRADES AN
EMPIRE FOR A COAT
BY Elmo Scott Doison

MO OTHER white man in history
y ever had more influence over the
red man than Sir William johnson,
colonial superintendent Of Indian af-
fairs. At his baroniai mansions In
western New York, "the Hall" and
THE Castle" he received members OF
the Iroquois confederacy as equals and
II was his influence which made them
allies OF the English instead of the
French during the French and Indian
war.
One of the chiefs who frequently
visited johnson Hall was Mohawk
named King Hendrick. One day Sir
william received from England some
richly-embroidered clothing. King
Hendrick was present when 1t was un-
packed and the gaudy attire caught
the fancy Of the red man. The next
morning he approached Sir William.
Brother. had dream" he an
nounced. Indeed" replied Johnson,
"what did my red brother dreamT
81 dreamed that you gave me one of
those fine coats" said the Mohawk.
and Sir william. greatly amused, gave
him the garment
Some time later johnson visited
Hendricks camp. They smoked
awhile In silence Brother, / had a
dream last night" finally stated John
son. "what did my pale-faced brother
dreamf" asked the chief. II dreamed
that this tract of land was mine
and Sir william described a square
Of the richest land In the Mohawk
valley, containing nearly 100000 acres.
Hendrick was completely taken
aback by the enormity OF the request,
but he could not be outdone In gem
crosby. After a moment he said:
Brother. the land Is yours" But"
he ADDED earnestly, you must not
dream again." By playing Indian on
Hendrick. Sir William had acquired
land which made him one of the
largest landhoIders In the colonies.
During the French and Indian war
Johnson persuaded King Hendrick to
Join him In marching against an In
yading force of 1000 French under
General Dieskau, who was coming
from Canada. On September 8. 1855.
they met the French at Lake George
When johnson decided to detach .
part of his force for flank attack he
asked King Hendrick II ne thought q
certain number would be enough. sIf
they are to fight, they are too few
replied the chief IF they are to be
killed, they are too many Acting
upon this advice, Sir William kept his
force together and attacked. A great
battle followed IN which King Hen
drsck was killed while fighting bravery
