A young man recently took his yaca-
ton. Personally he didn't see how the
concern was going to operate without
him, but when the president assured
him that everything would be per-
fectly all right he left. He failed to
enjoy himself much, however, for he
was continually thinking of the mud
die he would have to straighten out
when he returned to work. The first
day back he rushed into the presi-
dents office.
"Well, M. Blank, I'm back now. I
suppose it's been hard on you over
seeing all my work.
The president smiled. II took my
vacation at the same time you did,"
he remarked.
"What?" gasped the young man.
"Who took care of the business?" p.
The presidents smile turned into a
decidedly self-satisfed smirk. Your
secretary did to a great extent" he
replied, land so far as 1 can see it

with the British leader and declining
to retreat farther he forced Proctor
to make a stand on the Thames river
near the present Chatham, Ontario.
Even then Tecumseh was not sure
that Proctor would fight if he could
help it and for that reason the Indian
leader took his position at the juno
ton OF the British and Indian lines
! 20 as 10 have u near and ulrect COM
munication with the British leader.
His low opinion Of Proctor was Inn
mediately justified, for at the first
onset of Harrisons troops, Proctor
fed in his carriage with his personal
staff, few dragons and some
mounted. Indians. AS the American
cavalry broke the British line Proc
tors soldiers surrendered as fast as
they could throw down their arms
and within five minutes after the first
shot was fired the whole British force
of 500 men was beaten and most of
them were prisoners. A more severe
engagement took place when the force
of mounted Kentucky riflemen struck
the Indians and Tecumseh, who was in
the thick of the fight, was shot down.
According to one tradition, Tecum-
sch had wounded Colonel johnson
.withSa rifle bullet and was springing
forward to finish his work with his
tomahawk when the officer drew a
pistol and shot the Indian through
the head. During the political cam
paign when johnson was a candidate
for Vice President, his friends re-
vived the story and made much of this
supposed feat. johnson himself
never affirmed or denied the story. Il
is true that he killed an Indian under
such circumstances and after the bat
tie two Indians, one of whom was be-
lieved to be Tecumseh, was found
dead there. Some of the Kentuckians,
as savage by nature and training as
their enemies. believing that one of
these Indians was Tecumseh. fayed
most of the skin from the body and
made it into razor strops. This fact
is vOuched for by reputable historians
but it is also pretty definitely estab-
lisheG that the victim of this example
of brutality by the white man was
not the great Shawnee leader. With
a presentiment of death before the
battle, Tecumseh had discarded his
generals uniform, and dressed him.
self in his Indian deerskin. So there
was nothing in his appearance to dis
tinguish him from any of the other
warrior dead.
Chief Blackhawk of the Sacs and
Foxes, who was present at the battle
of the Thames, later declared that
Tecumseh's body was carried from
the field by his followers but where
he was buried no one ever learned.
To this day the site of his grave is one
of the lnsolved mysteries of American
history.

there. peacefully occupied in hunting
More farseeing than most Indians Of
his time, Tecumseh early in life real
lied that the red man was doomed to
go down before the greater numbers
Of the whites unless they were stopped.
So he undertook the formation of
great cOnfederacy Of all the West
ern and Southern tribes for the pur-
pose of making the Ohio river the
permanent boundary between the two
races.
Tecumseh's dream Of an Indian con-
federacy was not u new one. King
Philip. the Wapanoag, Pontiac, the
Ottawa, and Little Turtle, the Miami,
had tried the same scheme and all had
failed. So perhaps Tecumseh. the
Shawnee, was doomed to failure from
the start, but the chances are that his
attempt to hold back the tide of white
settlement wyuIu nave Come nearer
realization than any OF these others
had it not been for his brother.
Tenskwatawa, the Prophet. The
Prophet, vain, boastful charlatan,
had little of the greatness of Tecum-
sch in his makeup but he was a
clever demagogue and through his
self-asserted powers as prophet ex-
erted considerable influence over the
superstitious savages. 1t was an in
fiuence which Tecumseh, although he
must have realized that his brother
was faker, was glad to use in his
grand scheme for uniting the tribes.
. The only thing which he could not
foresee was that the character of his
brother might make him a liability
as well as an asset to his cause.
And this was exactly what hap
pened. While Tecumseh was absent
among the Southern, tribes organizing
them, the Prophet precipitated the
battle of Tippecanoe. November Z,
1911, and his forces were disastrously
defeated by General Harrison. After
that. historic engagement the infiu-
ence of the Prophet was gone for
ever. More than that, it dampened
the ardor of most of the tribes for the
cause in which they had enlisted and
Tecumseh saw his elaborate plans
crash to earth. When the war of
1912 broke out, Tecumseh Joined
the English army in Canada.
Nearly all Of the war chiefs fol-
lowed his lead and the Shawnee
found himself the nominal head of
more than 700 warriors. The value of
these allies and especially when d.
rected by the genius of Tecumseh
was Immediately recognized by Gen.
eral Brock, commander of the British
forces. and the friendship of the two
men, based upon mutual respect and
admiration, continued until the death
of General Brock at the battle of
Queenstown
Proctor, Brooks successor, was a
very different sort from Brock and
lacked all of the qualities which had
won the high regard of the Indian
leader for the former British COM
mander. Despite the aid of Tecum-
sch and the 1000 warriors of the al
lied tribes under his command, Proc
tor proved himself such a bungler, if
not actually coward, that the Indian
leader foresaw the eventual triumph
of the Americans. Tecumseh covered

victory on Lake Erie until disguised
