CHIEF QUANAH PARKER, "THE
WHITE COMANCHE
ON FEBRUARY 23, 1911, Chief
Quanah Parker lay dying In his
home, the "White House of the Com
auches" near Cache, Okla. Wlieu a
white doctor had Tntled to save his
life, Quasel, the medicine man, en
tered. Placing his arm about tbe dy
ing chief, Qussel tlapped his bands
and Imitated the call of the Great
Eagle, the messenger of the Great
Spirit. "Father In Heaven, this our
; brother Is coining," he prayed. A
| moment later, Quanah, the son of a
i white mother, a chief who liad lived
the white man's way for 35 years,
died an Indian.
Quanali's mother was Cynthia Ann
Parker, a white woman who had been
captured by his father Nokonl, "Tbe
Wanderer," In 1835, when she was only
twelve years old. She bore him three
children, two sons and a daughter.
A son born In 1545 was given the name
Kwslnl, "fragrant." When friends of
the I'arker family visited the Comanche
camp to persuade her to return to
civilization she said, "I am happy with
my husband and children. I have no
I desire to be anything but an Indian."
In 1800 Texas Raugers under Oov.
j L. S. Ross attacked the Comanche
| camp, killed Nokonl and captured
Cynthia Ann Parker and her two
\ year-old daughter. The sons aspaped,
When the "White Indian" was re
' stored to her people, It brought her
| no joy for ske mourned Incessantly
j for the lndlsn camp and especially for
j her sons. Soon afterwards, during a
| council with the Comanches, Home
j told young Quanah, or
{ Kwalna, that his mother was still ullve
I and they tried to Induce him to make
his home with her. It was In vain.
The boy had never known anything
but Indian life. In 1804 Cynthia Ann
Parker died, still mourning for her son.
Quanah rose to the position of wsr
chief of the Comanches and in the
war with the Southern plains tribes
In 1A74 he was the last to surrender.
When he did he encouraged his people
In traveling the white man's roatl.
In his Isst yoers Quanah brought
Ids mother's body from Texas and
burled It n«*ar his home. Than ha
worked unceasingly to huve a suitable
memorial erected over the grave, Final

"Mother Goose
Lady" Coming
A new use for the common
Mother Goose rhymes has been
found by Mrs. Helen B. Paulsen,
the lecturer to be heard here on
the third night of Chautauqua.
Mrs. Paulsen says, "there was a
Mother Goose," an actual historic
al character back in Boston's early
days, who evolved the rhymes
which our children love so well.
But Paulsen teaches us
some new lessons from these little
characters. By the way, she car
ries forty of tne best-known Moth
er Goose people and uses them to
demonstrate the points of her lec
ture. »
"Little Jack Homer" is a self
centered individual, not seeing the
real values in life. The "ten
represents the dlla
tory, procrastinating, lazy boy or
girl. There is a lesson there.
"Little Miss Muffet," who sat on a
tuffet, represents the imaginative
ehild, says Mrs. Paulsen. But she
doesn't stop here. She goes on in
her highly interesting way which
holds the attention of children and
adults alike, to point out how par
ents should recognjze and properly
train these various tendencies in
their children.
After her lecture in another
town, a man was heard to exclaim,
"Pd give SIOO.OO if my wife could
have heard that lecture."

STATE FAIR WILL BE
IMPROVED THIS YEAR
—— s.
Raleigh, "May 11.—The meeting of J
the Agricultural Society on May Xw
will determine whther or not the Stare
Fair Grounds will be moved l'rom the
present locution to some other place
near Raleigh, but the decision wil not
1 affect the erection of a grand stand on
the new race truck this year, if the
Society decides to move the l'air
grounds farther irom the city, a tem
porary grand stand for the accomo
dation of the fair crowds wil be erect
ed, but if the decision is to keep the
fair grounds where they ate at this
time a concrete and steel grand stand
will be erected.
The grounds will be much better
arranged for accomodating the crowds
utUHiding the fair next year* Tile
new race track bus been completed
| und is wevst of tiie old racd track.
This changv: in the locution of tia
i track will give a great deal more
sface for the crowds. The new track
| will also be much better than tin
one, and this, tugeUier with the de
cision of the fair officials to double
the purses otTercd means that a fai
i largch number of good race horses
wil be sent to Raleigh for this inter
esting feature of the fair.
Tiie work of beautifying the fail
grounds is already under way, and by
l'air time, the old grounds will present
a fur diirerent appearance from tiie
usual scenes, in the fall, leading
florists of the state have ugrced to
plant flower beds and aid the fair
authorities in beautifying tlte grounds.
The llowering beds will be located in
accordance with Uie general plans luul
out by a landscape architect who ha:,
beun working on the plan for some
time.
"It Shows North Carolina" has been
selected as the slcgan for the State
, Fair this year, and efforts are not
i being spaied to make the. fair carry
out this slogan in every particular.
The fair next October will lay less
emphasis on the carnival features and
more on the exhibition features. Ever>
ell'ort is being made to organize tin
fair assoeiaton for the whole state,
so that there will be a largvr numbel
of exhibits representing the varied i
dustrial and agricultural interests o.
North Carolina. It will in reality be
an exposition of tiki stole's resource;
ami its progress. '
The entertainment features will not
be overlooked for the fair authority
under the direction of Manager E. \
Walborn, are making arrangement:
for some of the best free attraction:
that will be found in the country
There will also be other attractio
that appeal to the demands of crowd,
lor entertainment, but the education
al features wil lbe stressed.-

The Guilford County Medical So

Through the cooperation of local
physicians who have been -behind
these demonstrations, surprising and
satisfactory results have been obtain
ed. 1901 examinations have been
made and 418, or 21 per cent, .found
to be in need of treatment. 120 
treatments have been given. About
50 per cent of these thought them

test" which they applied for revealed
1 the hidden truth that they had syph

until about 8 years ago. She retired
and since then has lived with Mr».
Myrtle Brown. She had been sick for
only u few doys with an attack ol
erysipilus, which was the cause of her
death.
No resident of the town was more
humble and kind and more devoted Ui
duty than she. She was oue of the
first members of the Wiiuuuston Bap
tist church, moving her memberaliip
when this congregation was first or
ganized and no member of any church
was ever more faithful than she.
Dr. 11. L. Long and Mr. J. A. Dav
enport of Hamilton were in \own
Wednesday on o business mission.
Good farmers say plant now for
next winter. If you would have barns
filled with corn next winter, plant
now. If you want plenty of sweet po
tatoes next winter plant now.

Answer: No; the members select
the directors in their respective dis
tricts in whom they have confidence,

dropped the gun on the floor and fled.
