GREAT

KING HENDRICK TRADES AN
EMPIRE FOR A COAT
By ELMO o WATSON

MO OTHER white man In history
~ ever had more influence over the
red man than Sir William johnson,
colonial superintendent Of Indian af.
rairs. At his baronial mansions in
western New York, "the Hall" and
The Castle" he received members of
the lroquois c~onfederacy as equals and
10 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 a Mohawk
named King Hendrick. One day Sir
william received from England some
richly-embroidered clothing. King
Hendrick was present when it was un.
packed and the gaudy attire caught
the fancy Of the red man. The next
morning he approached Sir William.
Brother, l had a dream" he an
nounced. Indeed" replied Johnson,
what did my red brother dream?"
u 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, l had a
dream last night" finally stated John
son. "What did my pale-faced brother
dream?" asked tie 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 %landholders in the colonies.
During the French n Indian war
johnson persuaded King Hendrick to
join him in marching against an in
vading force of 1900 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 a
part Of his force for a flank attack he
asked King Hendrick if ne thought a
certain number would be enough. III
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
drick was killed while fighting bravely
at the head Of his warriors.

CHIEF LOGAN, THE CAYUCA;
HIS IMMORTAL SPEECH

81 APPEAL to any white man to
say If ever he entered LOgan's
cabin hungry and he gave him not
meat; If ever he came cold and naked
and he clothed him not? During the
course Of the last long and bloody war,
Logan remained idle in his camp, an
advocate for peace. Such was my love
for the whites that my countrymen
pointed as l passed and said, Logan Is
the friend of the white man. l had
even thought to have lived with you
but for the injuries Of one man.
Colonel Cresap, the last spring, in
cold blood and u%nprovoked, murdered
all the relations Of Logan, not ever
sparing my women and children. There
u n not a drop of my blood In the
veins of any living creature. This
called on me for revenge. I have
sought It. l have killed many. l have
fully glutted my vengeance. For my
country l rejoice at the beams of
peace; but do not harbor a thought
that mine is the Joy of fear. Logan
never felt fear. He will not turn on
his heel to save his life. Who is there
to mourn for Logan? Not one!"
What American has not at some time
In his school career recited from his
reader that speech, not realizing the
historical %inaccuracy Of some of the
statements nor the fact that the chief
was doing a great injustice to Col.
Michael Cresap, a daring borderer and
a brave officer of the Virginia riflemen
during the Revolution? For the man
who IA guilty of the murder was
Daniel G~reathouse, a dissolute trader.
But Eel such errors in fact cannot
detract from the greatness Of the
speech and Of the man, nor from the
tragedy of his life. For Logan (Tah-

And Mackinac Again Is Automobileless

NTACKINAC ISLAND. MICH AsA Horses still are supreme on this wooded isle, but 1t was bitter fight before the gasoline rebellion, which ragged for several days, was crushed. From the days when old Pontiac sat on the Fort hill and planned coup for his redskin followers which would wrest the Great Lakes region from the encroaching white man no automo- bile has been allowed to run.
 From the stand of the safety first" opponents there was logic in the cus- tom. The island is a scant ten miles in circumference, and many of the roads zigzag up steep cliffs.
 Also, the villagers hold the island government firmly in their grasp, de spite all assaults by the summer cot tagers, and one of their chief forms of revenue Is driving the summer visitors around the island in surreys and buckboards at s an hour. So when ever a steamship came in at the wharf with an automobile aboard a commit tee of volunteers assembled at the dock. And, due to their untiring vigi- lance, no automobile ever was landed.

GETS CLOCK, BUT NOT "TIME"
Court Robbed of Imposing Timepieee Under Its Very Eyes and With
 It's Permission.

Thousands of law-breakers have been given "time" at Berlin's central criminal court in Moabir, but recently an ingenious crook posing as repair man actually was given the courts official clock and that while a case was being tried.
 The sitting was we'll under way when a man in working clothes entered the courtroom with a long ladder which he calmly placed under the huge, imposing timepiece on the wall. The judge, counsel, accused and spec tatOrs were astOnished as such an un- precedented Interruption. The presi- dent stopped the workman's ascent of his ladder long enough to inquire the meaning of his conduct. The visitor explained that he merely wanted to get the clock for repair and that it would take only moment. The president objected, but consented when the man said he already had called six times and always found the court in session.
 The vacant space on the wall sur prised the janitOr later in the day, and his investigations revealed that the court had been robbed under it's very eyes. in fact, with its permission.

Lori1ner Fighting

THICAGO.-William Lorimer, half blind and sixty-one years old, Is fighting the perils of jungle wilderness in Colombia, South America, to recoup his losses in the crash of the La Salle Street Trust & Savings bank and to make the restitution to depOsitOrs he solemnly promised.
 He was encountered in wilds where human progress is carved with machetes and where privation, dan- ger and hard work make up the everyday routine. He is representing a syndicate of Americans, and with a staff of engineers Is surveying the pos abilities of establishing railroads through the jungles, said to be the greatest need of the republic.
 A correspondent who came upon the former senator from Illinois and national political figure, told of the dangers of blazing trails through the forests, climbing mountains, crossing torrential rapids and fighting malaria and man-eating animals. He described Lorimer as thin, and hard, wearing a scraggly beard. He recently recovered from an attack of malaria, which af- fected his eyes.
