It was a tale told by their old men to the yoxmfr warriors in whispers, so that the women might not hear. It was a tale their old wom en cackled shrilly t o the younff maidens, bo that no wigwam might lose it. For it was .a tale, as each heard it, to shame their yotm g warrior. and to make proud the h earts of the young maidens. The Illini have passed away forever. Under mighty mounds. grass-covered andflower-crowned, their bones are laid, yet not forgotten, They have given their names to tho streams, lakes and towns of the white race that came after them; and through these their traditions live, to this day. in the memories of white men. Four hundred years ago when all thia new world was for the red man, a bright stretch of that prairie land, which now forms so large a part of the state of Illinois, once attracted tha fierce eyes of a roaming party of Iro quois. These had come from the east. There had been no need for them to stray so far away from their villages. Their hunting grounds at home were vast; their skies were filled w ith birds; their rivers teemed with fish. But the Iroquois, coveting the vaster hunting grounds toward the setting sun, found the Illini across their way. So they hated them. t A peaceful band of Illini had built their lodges on a beautiful stream. On its banks were ancient oaks and state ly walnut trees, shaded by which they could lie and dream in the hot hours of a Bummer's day. From the edge of the wood, and as far as tho eye could see, extended the grassy prairie, gay with scarlet lilies, phloxes and - morning glories. Dear was this prairie to the very heart of the mini. The Great Spirit had given it to their fathers for them to enjoy its sweet breath, and to their children after them. There, for uncounted moons, had they passed their days in a careless, happy, lazy fashion. But one day long-remembered as full of the sun and his glory, of the swee'tness of flowers, of the ong of birds, and f the hum of bees while warriors, squaws and children were WATSEKA XJLCZI-HXBSIX7 1ST THE PATH BEFORE THEM. rejoicing'' in their plenty and fancied peace, yells that curdled the biooa echoed from the prairie on ono side, and the forest on the other. Too well were those cries known in the vH' lage of the IllinL Too often had they been the signal ? which presaged massacre, torture and slavery." , Too Often, when tho echoes died away, had their wigwams and their fields been left In smoking ruins. What they said was: "We Iroquois are comer It was a band of this tribe which, creeping from the neighboring prairie, had swept upon them with such fierce abd sudden slaughter that tuonnprO' parea JUinJ were driven tof- jtfoi shadows that hid them from danger, the fugitives gathered, one by one, to unbend their bows, to dash them in despair upon the ground, to curse the Iroquois, and to mourn this new shame which had befallen them. Among them all, there was but one a girl who refused to mourn with her people. Watseka was her name. Although young, Watseka was well known for her proud spirit and her bfautiful face. As was fit in her sex, this young girl had stood with the crowd of weeping women and children a little apart from the gloomy war riors. She read their hearts, saw their tears and heard their inoaDs. The cowardice of the men made her eyes dry, kept her lips closed and roused all the fierceness of her wild nature! Who would take revenge on thede grim painted, scalp-loviug warriors upon those who had swept upon her people, to kill them as they would deer, and to drire them from the land the Great Spirit had given them? She frowned as she saw that the warriors, with brave curses still upon their lips, were creeping farther and farther back into the shadows. Then Watseka burst into heroism. Forgetting that among warriors no talking 6quaw had right to a place, she sprang forward and put herself in the path before them. With flashing eyes and curling lips she spoke: 'Men of the Illini, right are the Iro quois when they boast that they have put the dress of squaws upon you and hoes into your hands. Turn back to your village. You cannot miss the patk your burning wigwams have made it clear. Your women and chil dren are here to-day. Do you know where they will be when the sun shines to-morrow? Have no fear, the Iroquois will know how to make your wives cook their corn and your daugh ters fetch them water. To-night they count the scalps and feed at your fires on the deer they have killed on your hunting grounds. What! You will not go, then? Goodl Watseka will show you how to be men. Come with me, women of the Illini! We have not gathered our corn to feed the Iro quois." All the women turned to Watseka. Grandmas saw in her bright eyes that spirit which, when young, they them selves might have had, and loved her for it. Each mother looked upon her through tearful eyes, wishing that the Great Spirit had spoken to her daugh ter instead. The hearts of the young girls beat proudly because one of themselves had been called to rouse their tribe against the thieving Iro quois. No second call was needed. Old and young crowded eagerly around her, each woman arming herself with the first hatchet or stick that fell her way. And even the boys who, with black looks and bent heads, had been follow ing their fathers lef t the braves, and ranged themselves with flashing eyes beside their mothers and their sisters. Watseka's spirit ivas over them all. But as it turned out, the women of the Illini were not to fight that day. "C01TS WITH 1TB, W0UEX OF THE ILLIXlt" Watseka's bitter words brought back the blood Into the warriors' veins. Slowly from darkness they came into the light like owls; but upon the sleep ing Iroquois they fell like wolves! So thev won back to their wigwams. It is good to know that the chief of her tribe did not forget to honor Wat seka. Her exploit, was long told amoug their traditions, and in the summer brightened many a weary hour in the wigwams when the braves were on the warpath. After Watseka had passed away, so long as the Illini were a peo ple, her name was handed down in every generation to the mpst beautiful and the bravest girl of the tribe. Nor has the race, which arose when her own people were fallen forever, wished her story to be forgotten. The river by wnich the Iroquois were routed is still known by their name; and a fair town rising in the land so loved by her proudly bears the name of the heroic girl who in the day of despair redeemed her tribe and turned theit shame into honor.

Ueadquartera Thos Rnffio Camp Confederate Vet erane. - Goldfbjho, N. C. March 6th 189i At a meeting tf Tho?, Raffia Camp of Confederate veterans, held March, 6th 194, Col. John H. Hill, Commander, presiding, a eommiltee of three was appointed to draft resolutions expressing the feelings and admiration of the Camp, of the virtues and military skill, and unswerving devotion to the Confederate Cause, of 'Lient. Gen'l Jubal A. Early, who has just passed from the cares and struggles of this World, "to rest." The Committee submitted the following preamble and resolutions which were unanimously adopted. Whereas, we the members of Thos. Ruffin Camp of Confederate Veterans of Wayne County, hav ing learned of the death of -Lieut. Gen. Jubal A. Early, lnte Corps Commander of the Army of Northern Virgicia, which occurred at his home in Lynchburg, Vir ginia, March 4th 1891;, and deems ing it fit and proper, that we, some of whom were under his command, should express to the public our love and admiration for him, our late fellow soldier; Therefore Be It Resolved; That aa a Military Commander we recogniza in Gen'l Jubal A. Early one of the very ab lest engaged in the la ce Confeder ate Cause, a hero of many battles, one who for bravery and integrity oi purpose waa surpassed by no one of the heroes of our late war.

When Bessie died Ve braided the brown hair and lied It just as her owh little hands Had fastened back the silken strands A thousand times the crimson bit Of ribbon woven into it That she had worn with childish pride, Smoothed down the dainty bow, and cried When Bessie died When Bessie died We drew tho mossy blinds aside, And, as themorningjia the room Burst like a primrose into bloom, Her pet canary's cage we hung Where she might hear him when he suDg, And yet not any note he tried. Thaogh she lay listening folded eyed! When Bessie died. When Bessie died We writhed in paryeru nsatisfled; We begged of God, and He did smile In silenee on us all the while; And we didjsee Him through our tears.
