Cherokee Towns Wiped Out.

WILMINGTON, N. c.. September
30, 1776.-News comes from the West
ern frontiers that the North and
South Carolina militia, under Gen.
Griffith Rutherford and Col. Alexan-
der Williamson. respectively. have
achieved complete success in their
campaign against the Indians, who
have been plotting to ally themselves
with the British in the war for inde-
pendence. The ruthless destruction
of all the Indian towns in the hostile
Cherokee zone was decided upon as
the only measure that would prevent
general uprising Of the savages.
How thoroughly this has been ac-
complished is disclosed by the report
of a messenger from the frontier, who
says:
"Gen. Rutherford with his whole
force, amounting to about 1000. eX-
elusive of pack-horsemen, marched
from the head of Catawba River on
the 1st of September, and arrived un-
molested and undiscovered within 80
miles of the Middle Indian settle
ments. From thence he ordered 1000
men. by forced marches, against the
towns, in order to surprise the enemy.
The detachment on their way was at
tackled by about 30 Indians, who fired
and Immediately fled, having wounded
one man in the foot.
1T is but justice to our troops to
observe that when they were fired on
and expected the enemy on every
side, the only contention among them
was who should be foremost to share
the danger and the promised fight.
This detachment without further in
terruption proceeded to the towns
(Which the Indians had already evac-
uated) and destroyed them.
Then 900 men under Gen. Ruth
erford, who had left the main body,
taking 10 days provisions, marched
against the Valley settlements. They

HOW 1T STARTED
Once in a Blue Moon.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

How seldom we see you now-once
in a blue moon"' That is n commonly
heard reproach in these days of hurry
and hustle. when every one is always
reproaching every one else for having
too little leisure and everybody gives
the same alibi of mo time
1t is not only in connection with n
reproach. however, that we hear tho
phrase ''once in a blue moon," which
is used in a great variety of ref
erences, always, however, with the
significance of rarely" or very
seldom
The expression may have modern
snap, but 1t Is not of modern origin.
Indeed, the hunt for it's beginning
leads us a merry chase, back 400
years! For it Is in a work called
"Rede Me and Be Not Wrothe," dated
1928, by the old English authors, Roy
and Barlow, that we find its first
use in print.

Playing at Meal Times.

For the benefit of Mrs. E. L. J.
The child who comes to the table
ravenous for food is far more of a
curiosity than the CHILD who comes
in-is dragged in more likely-and
who sites down and plays with his
food and makes every excuse not to
eat. Almost any mother Of a large
family will bear me out in this state
ment. In fact, the harder the child
plays and the more he seems to need
food. the less likely is he to show any
interest in it.
This is one of the problems that add
gray hairs to the mother. OF all the
irritations that beset her life the most
biting one is to prepare good food
which goes abegging.
There are numerous reasons for
this condition. Fatigued children are
never hungry. If child is called in
for meal one-half hour before that
meal, is sent to wash his hands, and
has a book or some quiet game which
he can play until meal time, he will
arrive at the table with a far better
appetite. The excitement of the ball
game which he may have left raging
in the back yard, and the feeling that
fun is going on while he, poor chap,
Is QUITO it, makes many a male child
impatient with this unimportant bust
ness of eating. He wants to get
through and get out again.
Perhaps the one thing that shouldn't
be talked about at meals is food. The
conversation should be pleasant al
ways far too many parents take this
opportunity to do their daily scold-
ings, and the child must understand
that one half hous is ample time to
Snpnd at the tah1o RannnotS NAV no
spread to any length, but the ordinary
family meal of three courses can easi-
ly be eaten in one half hour and no
danger to the digestion. Child en- learn
to dawdle with their food when they
are babies. 1 believe a mother should
feed the baby, especially the child un-
der 2 years, and thus teach the child
to eat in a certain length of time,
rather than to allow him to feed him.
self awkwardly and push the food
about until he has wasted both time
and food. This doesn't mean that he
should not be allowed to manage a
fork and spoon, but children tire very
easily, and it has been my experience
that a meal is eaten more quickly and
thoroughly if the mother stays with
the child and sees to it that it is eaten.
AS children of this age are some
times still fed four times a day, this
brings the meals at different hours
from the famiN meal and gives
mother an opportunity to attend to
their wants.
The older child who plays at a meal
should be made to understand that if
he is not through when the rest are
his food will be carried away. One or
two such deprivations and he will be
willing to listen to warnings.

mate master of war, whose knowledge
and disposition of armed troops have
seldom been equaled and never sur
passed. His first Italian campaign
and the battles he fought when In re-
treat after the engagement at Leipzig
were models Of their kind.
The chaos and exhaustion following
the French Revolution and the stu
pidity of the European monarchical
system gave1Napoleon his opportunity.
France in arms for defense became
under his dictatorship France every
where aggressive and victorious. But
for the stolid resistance of Russia and
the sea power of Great Britain he
might have attained q Continental
supremacy unparalleled since that Of
Charlemagne.
His diplomacy has not been as unan-
imously praised as his military Prov
ess. Indeed, some authorities ascribe
his downfall to his inability clearly to
discern the forces arrayed against his
projects or to understand that his
methods would ultimately recQil on
themselves.
AS q civil administrator, Corsican
though he was, he thoroughly under
stood France. The code that bears his
name testifies to his ubiquitous genius.
The bureaucratic system he inaugu-
rated is operative today.
Yet his form of government was
doomed from the outset. Caesarism
was always a thing born out of due
time from the moment that constitu-
tional democracy had it's nascent be-
ginnings in Switzerland, Holland and
the English speaking states.
AS to motives, whatever may have
been Napoleon'S earlier zeal for free
dom and his rage against stupid and
insensate kings whom he made ridicu-
lous, after he had tasted the sweets
of power he showed conspicuous in
tellectual and moral weaknesses. Yet
one has only to recall the Bourbons
to understand that they half explain
his return from Elba and the subse-
quent reign of one hundred days, on
which the long night fell at Waterloo.
