--- $2.00 a Year—5 Cents a Copy ONLY COLORED POLICE CAPTAIN WEST OF CHICAGO RESIGNS FROM POST Voluntarily Retires After Twenty-three Years of Service—Receives Half Pay for Life Los Angeles, Cal.—The West, and Los Angeles in particular, has lost its only Colored police captain. Captain of Detectives William W. Glenn has handed in his resignation that took effect the night of December 31, 1926, ending twenty-three years of faithful service. At the time of his retirement, Captain Glenn commanded the detective division of Newton Station, and white, as well as colored detectives of the Newton division, were assigned to their duties by the very capable officer. Captain Glenn worked his way up from a beat walking patrolman and was the oldest Negro officer in point of service on the Los Angeles police force. The Captain was eligible for retirement at the end of twenty years, but stayed with his duties three more years, this past year reaching the rank of captain, and he will receive half of a captain's salary for the balance of his life. As a token of appreciation the retiring officer was presented with a diamond studded badges by his many friends, Los Angeles citizens and members of the Los Angeles police department. Race Officer Will Not Succeed Him Although Los Angeles has several lieutenant detectives of the Race it will probably be some time before any of them will have enough time to take the examination for captain. In Los Angeles the position is gained through a certain period of actual experience and a civil service examination. Lieutenant McDuff, exalted ruler of the local Elks, is next in line for captaincy. WHITE MOOSE SUE BLACK MOOSE New Orleans, La.—A suit for injunction to prevent members of the Paramount Progressive Order of Moose from wearing the emblem or using the word Moose has been filed in the civil district court by Nat W. Bond, dictator of the white organi- KNOO We met a gentleman the otto to our city and occupies a pro In the course of our very pleas lie in being a booster and n This gentleman has the rig viewpoint. What almost ever today, and this is especially tr our group of people, is knockit term the knocking fever, like We met a gentleman the other day who has recently come to our city and occupies a prominent and influential position. In the course of our very pleasant conversation he said, "I believe in being a booster and not a knocker." This gentleman has the right philosophy of life, the right viewpoint. What almost every community is suffering from today, and this is especially true of our own community and of our group of people, is knockitis, if we may coin an expressive term, the knocking fever. Like most fevers it is infectious. This is a malady which afflicts many newcomers from Podunkville and Squash Center. Those from the more metropolitan centers are not quite so easily affected by it, because as a rule they are broader-minded, perhaps more politic than those from the rural and smaller centers. And yet some of them have this disease. As soon as they strike the town, they begin to knock and find fault with everything and everybody. Without knowing what difficulties have been overcome, what problems have been solved or their solution honestly attempted or what progress has been made they begin to knock. They have no constructive program to offer but plenty of fault to find. Nor is this malady confined to newcomers. Many of us older folk seem to take delight in knocking the young, their visions, their aspirations and undertakings. Nor do we stop at knocking the young, for knockitis robs us of fair-mindedness and impartiality, we become crabid and cranky faultfinders with every undertaking and constantly impute sinister and selfish motives to others. Victims of knockitis have a grudge against the city in which they live and earn their daily bread, against its various organization, against lodges, churches and like organizations. Knock, knock, knock! never at quiet. Knockitis is a disease to be dreaded. There is a difference between honest-to-goodness, well-intended, constructive criticism, which is intended to help and should be cordially welcomed by all sensible people and simon-poor cussedness which takes delight in knocking simply for the pleasure of knocking and fault-finding. Too many of our people are afflicted with knockitis with reference to racial matters and racial welfare and that is why we suffer many handicaps of our own making. There is a powerful antidote for this socially dangerous disease, which palsies worth-while efforts and causes much heart aches and that is BOOST-ITIS, the fever for boosting. Boostitis is contagious, too. But unlike knockitis, it is stimulating, inspiring and health-giving, not weakening, dejecting and sickening. Let us become inoculated with this germ. Let us begin boosting our neighbor, our city, our school, our lodge, our church, our newspaper, our leaders, our business ventures. Boost, boost, boost, and see if this will not make for your happiness and the prosperity of the community in which you live and every institution that looks towards social betterment. "I believe in being a booster and not a knocker" is a good creed to which all of us should most heartily subscribe and not only profess it with our lips but manifest it in our lives. LIFTING LIFT TOO THE MONITOR State Historical Society NEWSPAPER NATIONAL NEGRO INSURANCE ASSOCIATION INSURANCE TOILET GOODS BANK Negro insurance companies are rapidly pushing to the fore in the ranks of racial business enterprises. The National Insurance Association, comprising twenty-three of the leading companies, reports the largest growth and the most successful year in the insurance field yet experienced. ization in this city. A. W. Brazier is supervisor of the colored organization in this section. A similar case was recently filed in a Missouri court which was decided in favor of the colored organization, the court holding that the Moose is the name of an animal and therefore not subject to copyright for exclusive use. Atlanta, Ga.—The flogging of Wimberly E. Brown, a Lyons lawyer, by masked Ku Klux Klansmen at Louisville, Ga., a few days ago, has aroused Governor Clifford Walker to a statement against the rule of the mob in this state and to offer a special reward of $1,000 for the first conviction of a member of the band that whipped Brown. NEGRO INSURANCE COMPANIES BIG FACTOR IN RACE BUSINESS Washington, D. C.—That Negro insurance companies are growing space even though they carry but a small fraction of the insurance in force upon Negro lives is shown by the recent report issued by the National Negro Insurance association. Some startling and encouraging figures are present by the association in its statistics compiled upon twenty-one Negro insurance companies, most of which are members of the organization. White companies are carrying many times more insurance on colored people's lives than are the colored companies, but the report relates that "of the total own group. The fact is that on a negligible portion of the Negro population in America has awarded to the value of insurance in sort of company. This is the way which the combined efforts of the companies who compose the National Negro Insurance association is concentrated on—not getting the groves to transfer their risks to coed concerns, but rather to appreciate in larger measure the value of buying insurance estates, thereby aiding to the total racial wealth giving protection to the families the insured. "The security of hot steads," the association points "the holding intact of families, education of families, and the isfaction of life profitably spent." KNOCKITIS NEBRASKA'S WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, JANUARY 7, 1927 Vol. X ALEXANDER MOORE SHEARIN A.N.P. MISS MARGARET LOUISE BPAULDING NEGRO INSURANCE COMPANIES BIG FACTOR IN RACE BUSINESS Washington, D. C.—That Negro insurance companies are growing apace even though they carry but a small fraction of the insurance in force upon Negro lives is shown by the recent report issued by the National Negro Insurance association. Some startling and encouraging figures are present by the association in its statistics compiled upon twenty-one Negro insurance companies, most of which are members of the organization. White companies are carrying many times more insurance on colored people's lives than are the colored companies, but the report relates that "of the total of $73,581,675,814 of life insurance in force in the United States on December 31, 1925, the twenty-three Negro companies' carried one hundred and sixty-five million, two hundred and forty-six thousand and five hundred dollars, ($164,246,500) a mere drop in the bucket when compared to the total in force, but an enormous amount when all factors and handicaps are taken into consideration. The Metropolitan Life Insurance company with $960,000,000 on Negro risks carries five times as much life insurance on Negroes as all the Negro companies combined. We have just scratched the surface. The field and opportunities offered by life insurance companies for Negroes are too great to be measured; they are almost unlimited." Some idea of where the more than a billion and a quarter dollars worth of Negro insurance is placed may be gained from the table which follows: Total Insurance Carried by Negroes in the United States Metropolitan Life Ins. Co. $ 900,000,000 Colored companies in National Negro Insurance Asn. $ 164,000,000 Other colored companies $ 25,000,000 All other companies insuring Negro risks $ 250,000,000 Total Insurance carried $1,390,000,000 A conception of the tremendous financial power which Negroes might control is revealed by these figures. It is estimated that colored companies place only about one-eighth of the protection in force upon their own group. The fact is that only a negligible portion of the Negro population in America has awakened to the value of insurance in any sort of company. This is the task which the combined efforts of the companies who compose the National Negro Insurance association is concentrated on—not getting the Negroes to transfer their risks to colored concerns, but rather to appreciate in larger measure the value of building up insurance estates, thereby adding to the total racial wealth and giving protection to the families of the insured. "The security of homesteads," the association points out, "the holding intact of families, the education of families, and the satisfaction of life profitably spent are frequently dependent upon an adequate conception of the value of insurance." Despite the small portion of business which our organizations control, the steady growth of Negro companies, avers the National Negro Insurance association, is a definite and hopeful barometer of racial business and progress.

Spaulding, Daughter of President of North Carolina Mutual, Becomes Bride of Shearin Durham, N. C.—Miss Margaret Louise Spaulding, daughter of Charles Clinton Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance company and officer and promoter of many of the most successful and serviceable institutions and organizations of his state and the country, was wed to Alexander Moore Shearin, son of one of the oldest families of Durham and North Carolina, Sunday evening, December 26, at six o'clock, in the picturesque setting of the home, 1006 Fayetteville street, and with the attendance of members of the families and intimate friends of the betrothed to witness the ceremony and extend their benediction for happy wedlock. Miss Spaulding, amiable and cultured, is one of the "favorite daughters" of her community and state, and a graduate of Scotia Seminary of North Carolina. She has the distinction of being one of the most successful teachers of music who have been trained by Fisk university, the center of music study and appreciation, and the source of folk music dissemination. Among the achievements of Miss Spaulding in her chosen art the direction of music at the North Carolina College for Negroes, many community musical activities, and the establishment of the Chamberlain studio. Alexander Moore Shearin, son of William Henry Shearin, one of Durham's most respected citizens, who has held many positions of trust, is a graduate of Wilberforce university and has made most commendable progress in the field of business and finance. He is now general manager of the Southern Fidelity and Surety company of Durham, of which W. G. Fearson, chief executive of the Royal Knights of King David, the largest legal reserve fraternal organization in the country, is president. This company has a national program, and through the energy and business acumen of Mr. Shearin has already been promoted in several of the leading cities in many states. LIBERIA PLANS BANK New York, N. Y.—The Liberian government is sponsoring a national bank capitalized at $1,000,000, according to Oscar Hudson, San Francisco lawyer, who is Liberian consul. Mr. Hudson has just returned from Liberia. The bank is expected to play an important part in the disposal of government land. Twenty per cent of the capital will be subscribed by the government and forty per cent will be offered to American Negroes, it is explained. THE BISHOPS' CRUSADE The Episcopal Church, noted for its sanity and conservatism, is embarking upon a great religious campaign, which, we do not doubt, will have far-reaching influence upon the religious life of America. Little as it may seem every thoughtful student of religious phenomena admits that this conservative communion has more deeply influenced religious life in America than is appreciated save in retrospect. Occupying a via media between Romanism on one hand and Protestantism on the other, claiming to hold to primitive faith and Apostolic order while sympathetic with modern progress, emphasizing corporate life while not ignoring individual freedom, the Episcopal Church has made a large contribution to American Christianity. This is silently attested by liturgic and ritualistic services in many of the Christian communions which once looked askance upon these things. This new venture or campaign is called "The Bishops' Crusade", because the bishops are rightfully assuming the leadership, albeit the inspiration for this movement came from a layman, Mr. James H. Pershing, of Denver, Colorado, a cousin of General John J. Pershing. The "Crusaders" are to be bishops, priests and laymen. Its purpose is conversion and rededication of all members of the Church, to loyal devotion and service to Jesus Christ and the winning of other souls to allegiance to Him. It is a nationwide venture in evangelism, a word which has been much abused and much misunderstood. Its adaptation and use by the Episcopal Church in this Crusade which is to be carried on over a period of years will do much to rescue it from the bad odor of sensational and commercialized evangelistic efforts. It is a new preaching of the Cross for the sincere conversion of those who now acknowledge at least nominal allegiance to Christ. A truly converted America will do much to win the world for Christ, and as a contribution towards this the influence of the Bishops' Crusade will extend far beyond the boundaries of that special communion. It will be observed with sympathetic and prayerful interest by all who sincerely believe that the only panacea for the sins and sorrows, the selfishness and greed, the hatred and ill-will, the strife and discord which mar he world and make countless millions mourn is the practice of the Christian religion. GREAT AMERICAN GAME OF LYNCHING GROWS IN POPULAR FAVOR Thirty-Three Human Beings Victims of Mobs Last Year Include Two Women, Three Whites and One Indian FLORIDA TAKES FRONT RANK Texas and Mississippi Close Seconds. Advancement Association Says Increase Due to Senate's Failure to Act. New York, N. Y.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People reports 33 recorded lynchings in the United States for the year as against 18 last year. Florida leads the lynchings with eight, Texas is second with five, and Mississippi third with four. The other states having recorded lynchings are as follows: Arkansas, South Carolina and Georgia, three each; Louisiana and Tennessee, two each; and Kentucky, New Mexico and Virginia, one each. Of the victims of lynching mobs three were white, one was a Navajo Indian and among the victims were two colored women, one of them lynched at Aiken, South Carolina, and one near Houston, Texas. One of the mob victims had been ordered acquitted by the presiding judge at his trial, one in Texas was shot by white officers while manacled, one was accused of housebreaking, and among the alleged offenses of the victims were—entering the room of a white woman; murder; and three Negroes were killed in Texas in revenge for a crime with which they had no direct connection. A statement issued by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, lays the increase in lynchings to the failure of the United States Senate to take action on a federal anti-lynching bill. Mr. Johnson's statement says: "There is one excellent and reasonable explanation of the increase from 18 lynchings in 1925 to 33 in 1926. While there was threat of a federal law, with consequent jurisdiction of federal courts over this crime, the lynchers hesitated. When the United States Senate refused to even discuss the Dyer anti-lynching bill, that was equivalent to serving notice on the lynchers that they could pursue their pastime virtually unmolested. "So far only one lynching, and that one in Georgia, has been visited by punishment at the hands of the law. The United States Senate refuses to discuss the Dyer anti-lynching bill, because of the obstructionist tactics of a small group of Senators from the lynching states." Mrs. Lulu Rountree and Miss Aurora Rountree are visiting in Chicago where they went to spend the Christmas holidays. GROWING THANK YOU Whole Number 598 PERSONALS Ed. F.

With his two companions he be- gins the journey. “The road stops here,” I satd to Ta wan-ne-ars. “How shall we go on?" “The road of the white man stops yes,” he answered, “But the road of the Ho-de-no-sau-nee begins.” “What is that?” He made no answer, but kept on his way until we were under the bole of the first of the forest trees. ‘There at my feet was a deep, nar row slot in the earth, a groove some eighteen Inches wide and perhaps twelve inches deep, that disappeared into the gloom which reigned under the interlacing boughs overhead. It did not go straight, but crookedly like a shake, curving and twisting as it chanced to meet a mossy boulder or a tree too big to be readily felled or uprooted. As I stooped over it I saw that its bottom and steeply sloping rides were hard-packed, beaten down by continual pressure, the relentless Pressure of countless human feet for generations and centuries. ‘Ta-wan-ne-ars instantly led the way into the groove of the trall, and as if instinetively swung into an easy loping trot. 1 followed him and the Dutch man brought up the rear. It was cool under the trees, for the sun seldom penetrated the follage, dense already although it was only the fag-end of spring. And it was very ailent—terribly, oppressively silent. ‘The crack of a stick underfoot was Ike a musket shot. The padding of our feet on tht resilient leaf-mold was like the low rolling of muffied drums. The timorous twittering of birds seemed to set the echoes flying. Yet I was amazed when Ta-wan-ne- ars halted abruptly tn mid-afternoon, ‘and inclined his ear toward the trail behind us. “What is It?” I asked, and so com- pletely had the spirit of the forest taken possession of me that I whis- pered the words. “Something 1s following us,” he an- swered, Corlaer put his ear to the bottom of the trail, and a curious expression crossed his face. Re ee een ee CHAPTER VII Along the Great Trail “hall we return and face them? I asked eagerly. Ta-wan-ne-ars permitted himself a smile of friendly sarcasm, “It we can hear them, surely they can henr us,” he said. “No, we will Keep on: There is a place farther along the trail from which we can look oF upon them. Come, Ormerod, you Fwill run ahead. Peter will fol- low us.” ‘Ma-wan-ne-ars shifted his musket to shoulders, and broke into a long, stride, I followed him, a mile up the trail he stopped. “Walk in my tracks, brother, ” he said. "And be Certain that you do no bruise a twig.” With the utmost caution he parted the sereen of underbrush on our right hand, and revealed a tunnel through the greenery Into which he led the way, hesitating at each step until he hud gently thrust aside the intervening eo iB wm watk IN MY.

Once tn the tunnel, however iis care was abandoned, and be ru qulekly to the trunk of a huge pin which soured upwerd Uke a mon ta. ntal columm, high above the su rounding trees, He leaned his mus ket against the pitchy bole. “Lhe yrhol of the Long House,” he sald tapping the swelling girth of ft “Slrength and symmetry and gran deur. We will climb, brother.” He swung himeelf up into the branches, which formed a perfect lad- der, firm under foot, behind the screen of the pine needles. When the other treetops were beneath us, he strad- died a bough and cleared a loophole from which we might look out over the forest we had traversed. We looked for so long, without any- thing happening that my eyeballs ached. But at last there was a move- ment Uke the miniature upheaval which is caused by an ant in breaking ground, Boughs quivered, and a fig ure appeared In the open. "Twas Cor. jaer, He glanced around him and strode on. In a moment he had passed the clearing and d'sappeared in the forest Tawanne-ars hitched forward and peered through the loophole with tense muscles. And again there was @ walt which seemed endiegs, My eyelidy biinked from the sirain of watching. The desolation and loneliness of the wilderness were so complete that ft seemed inconceivable another human being could be within view. And whils: thts thought occupied my mind a dark figure crawled on hands and knees from the mouth of the trall, At that distance all we could see of his cox tume was the clump of feathers that bristled from his sealplock. He followed Peter into the trail ov our side of the clearing, and there was a second and briefer pause. Then as silently as ghosts a string of figures fitted into the clearing. There were six of them, each with musket In the hollow of his arm, each with bristling feather headdress Ta-wan-ne-ars emitted a guttural grunt, quite unlike bis usual rather musical utterunces, “Down!” he rasped. “Down! The time is seunt!" At the foot of the pine he snatched up his musket without a word, and turned Into the green tunnel that de- bouched upon the screen of.the trail, AS we stepped into the worn slot Peter came into view. “Well?” he said phlegmatically. “Cahnuaga dogs! They dare to in- vade territory of the Long House!” “We can cross der Mohawk to der south branch of der trail,” proposed Corlaer, “They wouldt not dare to follow us there.” “No,” snarled Ta-wan-ne-ars; “we shall not step aside for them. We will attend to them ourselves, ‘They will not attack unless they have to for we are still near the Mohawk castle, al- though ‘tis upon the opposite bank of the river. ‘They will leave us alone until night.” “But why cannot we attack them?” A look of ferocity which was almost démoniae changed his usually pleasant features into an awful mask. “In an ambuscade one might escape, No, my brother Ormerod, we will wait until they attack us. ‘Then—" He paused significantly. “Not one of the Keepers shall return to tell Murray how his brothers died.” We took up the march. "Twas al- ready mid-afternoon, and shortly the dimness of twilight descended upon the trail, as the level rays of the set- ting sun were turned aside by the in- terlacing masses of vegetation, ‘Twilight faded into dusk and still we kept on, ‘Ta-wan-ne-ars had eyes like ti cat's, und 1, too, accustomed myself to perception of hanging branches and the unexpected turns and twists in the groove of the path. The stars were out in the sky overhead when we stepped from the shelter of the forest Into a rocky dell divided by » tiny ‘brook. “We will camp here,” sald Ta-wan- nears, He rested his musket on a boulder and began to colleet firewood. “Why a fire?” I asked. “The trailers must not think we Suspect them,” he replied curtly, “It we lit no fire they would know for cer- tain that we were suspictous,” THE MONITOR , og ae ee ee re We soon had a respectable pile of wood, but before kindling it the Sen- eca bade us strip off our leathern shirts and stuffed them with under: brush Into a semblance of human shapes. A third figure to represent himself he contrived out of the packs and several branches. z ‘The three dummies were then dis- | posed to the satisfaction of Ta-wan. ne-ars and, striking flint and steel to some rotten wood, a bright blaze sent the shadows chasing each other around the confines of the glade, “Peter,” be said, “you had best take post by that boulder on the other side of the fire, Ormerod and Ta-wan- hears will He together upon this side,” You need not think It necessary to “keep me by your side,” I sald indig- nantly, “°Pts not the first time T shall “have heard musketry.” A gleam of humorous fntelligence chased the gloomy ferocity from the Seneca’s face, “Ta-wan-nesars does not doubt the valor of his brother,” he said, “but Ormerod has never fought with Cah nuagus. They are dogs, but they are skilled in forest: war.” He sank down behind a boulder next to the one by which I stood, Cor: laer had been swallowed by the dane ing shadows beyond the tire, T dropped beside Ta-wan-nears, and lke him dusted fvesh powder Into th aan of wy musket, drew tomahawk nd knife fron their sheaths and lati dieu on the ground within reteh, Tt annst have been at least two honre titer we bail taken cover tut 'Eawitte hevrs touched my arm, and the Tigi fou the gowlut bed of coals re hd n feathered hend crouching for werd where the tril entered the glade. It hovered round the edge of the firelight like a quonstrous. repti!Fin fond, body bent nearly double, « glint of stvel showing whenever the handa moved. Presently he withdrew into the trull, and It seemed that two more hours dragged by on leaden feet, al- though It was probably less than halt that time. ‘The tire was lower, but Ta-wan-ne- urs did uot need to warn me when the Keepers reappeared. It was as if a mist of evil preceded them. My senses were alert, and I saw the first feath- ered head emerge from the trafl and each one of the six who followed their leader, I counted every step of their approach until the yellow patnt whieh streaked the ribs of the one nearest to me giimmered in the light of the em- bers, “Huh-yah-yah-vere-cee-ee-e 1 Ta-wan-ne-ars sounded the war- whoop as he fired, and instinctively 1 aimed my plece at those ocher-tinted ribs and pressed the trigger. ‘The re- port of my musket carried on the echoes which had been roused by the Seneca’s. Corlaer’s discharged as { bounded to my feet. ‘The Cahnuagas yelled in surprise; three of them were thrashing out thelr lives on the rocks. But the four sur- vivors did not hesitate. ‘They fought “lke the devils they really were. One of them was on me Immediate- ly, bounding over the boulders with sereeches that split the night. His knife and hatchet cut circles around my head—then chopped at my bowels, His activity was extraordinary, and he fought better than I, for he knew his weapons and they were strange to me. It was the realization of this which saved me. Fending awkwardly with knife or hatehet against a foe whose hundling of them was the result of lifelong training, 1 was at a disad vantage, - So I changed the tomahawk to my left hand, and grasped the knife by the hilt as if It were a sword, thrust: ing with it point first instead of slash- ing as the Indian did. And now my skill at fence was in my favor. ‘The Cahnunga’s knife was no longer than mine, We were on equal terms —or ruther the advantage Inclined toward me, Bewilderment showed in the Indian's face. He did not under- stand this fighting with passes and parries and swift, stabbing assaults, My chance came the next time he charged me, goaded Into desperation by these strange tactics. 1 aimed a smashing blow at his head with, the tomahawk, and, as he lifted his own hatchet to guard, I thrust for his belly, parried his knife and ripped him open, His death yell was in my ears as I leaped over his body and looked to see how my comrades were doing. Ta- wan-ne-ars had Just killed his man and was running to the help of Peter, who had two assailants on his hands. As ‘Ta-wan-ne-ars came up, the Dutchman closed with one, dashed the defending weapons aside and grasped the strug- Kling savage in bis powerful arms. ‘The last Cahnuaga turned to flee, but eee Ont CTE eeee eee ee ene “Tie Rat can go to the torture- stake and not answer that question, Corlaer,” he sald quite simply. “We will take you to the nearest vil lage and let you make good your boast,” threatened ‘Ta-wan-ne-ars, ‘The Cahnuaga smiled. “Lf 1 told you, none the tess should LsuTer at the stake,” he sald, “for the Ga-goxa Ho-nun-as-tuse-ta (Mistress of Une Pulse, Fuces) knows all.

Yes, 1 think you will come to know more about liens some day, bro quois, 1 seem to see pletures in the firelight of a stake, and a building with a tower and a bell that rings, and wany of the Ga-go-sa dane around you, und your pain is very great, Ase you are shrieking like a woman; you~” He sprang, uot at the Seneca but at me.

A pungent whiff of wood smoke filed my nostrils, and 1 “turned over to wateh Corlaer frying | bacon and maize cukes. After cating, I fell into my place be- “tween the Datchman and 'Ta-wan-ne ars. In five minutes the forest had closed around us. ‘The glade of last night’s adventure was shut off as com- pletely as if it existed in another world, There remained no more than the bare groove uf the trall and the encompassing walls of underbrush and overhead the roof of tree boughs, ‘That afterndon we forded the Mo- hawk to the southern side some dis: tance above Ga-ne-ga-ha-ga (near Danube, N. Y), the Upper Mohawk castle, And now for the first time we began to meet other travelers, Sev- eral Mohawk families shifting their abodes on account of poor crop condi tlons in their old villages; a party of Oneldas of the Turtle clan journeying on a visit of condolence to the Mo: hawk ‘Turtles, one of whose roy-an-ehs had just died; a band of Mohawk hunters returning from the spring hunt, By these latter Ta-wan-ne-ars sent word to So-a-wa-ah, the senfor roy-an-eh of the Mohawk Wolf clan, sharged with the warding of the East ern Door, of our encounter with the Cahnuagus und its result. The evening of the third day we eamped in the Oneida country at the base of a hill, whieh the trail enetr cles and which for that reason was called Nun-da-da-sis (“Around the HIN," present site of Utlea, N. Y.). Here we had a stroke of what turned out sifterward to be rare good luck Whilst we were making camp a group of five canoes of the birch-bark which Is used by other nations than the Iro- quols approached from upstream, and their occupants cainped beside us. These Indians were Messexagues, whose country lay between the two great inland seas, the Erle and Huron lakes, They were ou their way to Fort Orange or Albany to trade their win ter cateh of, furs, which lay baled in the canoes. ‘They told Ta-wan-ne-ars they had had trouble with the Sieur de Tonty, cou mander of the French trading post of Le De Troit (Detroit, Mich.), which had been estabtished in their country ; and that In consequence De Tonty had been obliged to flee and they had de- cided to shift their trade to the Eng Usb, ‘Ta-wan-ne-ars encouraged then In this design and described to them the high quality and quantity of the goods they might expect to get in ex- change for their furs at Albany. On the fourth day the trail aban- doned the headwaters of the Mohawk, fast shallowing in depth, and beaded Westward across the mile-wide divide of land which separates the waters flowing into the Mohawk and Hudson river from those flowing into Luke Ontarlo and the St. Lawrence river of Canada, 1 had my first view of the long houses of the Lroquols wt the Oneld Castle, Ga-no-a-to-bale ("A head on a pole”), which was situated on the (Continued Next Week.)
