I had hearing down

The Cold Morning Bath.
The cold morning bath is recom-
nendod for those who can stand the
: old hath , though countless many
: annot. To prepare for it ono should
flrst sponge the body with cold water
ind step into a few Inches of water
drawn from a warm water pipe. It
will not bo warm or cold early In the
morning. Splash the water over the
body and wash hastily , letting the
tub 1111 gradually. If the salt bath is
used , do not throw the salt towel in
the laundry. Let it collect the salt.
In beauty bathhouses each individual
has a salt towel that is used countless
times , because It gets thoroughly sat
urated and is more beneficial. A cold
bath should not last longer than flva
minutes.
Thrift In the Family.
A little girl was playing with a girl
friend of her own age on the porch of
her home In West Philadelphia.
An elderly gentleman , her mother's
father , and an elderly lady , her fa
ther's mother , were sitting on the
porch talking pleasantly with each
other. The little girl had often wished
her grandparents were of the same
name , like other children's grand
parents.
Presently the little guest remarked :
"What a nice grandmother and grand
father you have. "
"Oh , yes , " she said , with a sigh , "but
they don't match. "
The Sort of Thing He Liked.
In an early day in Stone county ,
Missouri , a fanner's boy rushed into
the olllco of Dr. T. , T. McCord of Ga-
loiia and urged the doctor to como
( juickly to see his father , who seemed
lu be dying. Said the doctor. "What
alls him , and what has he eaten ? "
Tliu boy said : "Oh , nothing much
but 14 roastin' ears for supper. "
"Well , " said the doctor , "just go
back and throw him a couple of
bundles of oats and tell him I will be
up there in about SO minutes. "

LAST OF THE 7W& &
FALLEN Oft EVIL
3QH.MNG PHILH ? '
If America can lay claim to any
royalty It must go back to the original
possessors and rulers of this country ,
and find in the descendants of the red
man those who are entitled undisput-
ably to the distinction and honor.
Two princesses of royal blood of the
American brand are to bo found In
Now England , and only two , and the
f ct that these two are not living In
regal state or are not accorded any ot
the honors , and distinction consonant
with their high birth , brings them into
notice especially so as at the present
tlmo these princesses have fallen upon
evil days and are likely to lose the
little land they now possess out of all
the vast country to which their regal
ancestor , the great Indian king , Mas-
sasolt , laid claim. . With all the glory
of the past only a disturbing memory
and with poverty pressing them upon
every side , Teweeleoma and Wootonc-
kannske arc living on the shores of
Lake Assawampsett In Massachusetts
where once their kingly forefathers
ruled supreme.
With only a few acres remaining of
a heritage which lu tlm time of the
Pilgrim Fathers comprised whole
states the aged are facing possible
dispossession. They are subjected to
numberless persecutions of a petty
sort ; but then they have grown used
to that. For as their mother oneo
said during a recital of the wrongs
of her race : "There seems to ho no
law lor the Indian. "
"They have left us little , " says Prin
cess Teweeleema. "They have made
us light steadily for what we have
kept , and now they want the little
that we have. "
An effort is being made to secure
for these last of the loyal blood of
the Wampanoags a material recogni
tion of their rights and of the services
which their ancestor , the mighty
sachem , Massasolt , performed for the
pioneers of New Unglnnd. For with
out Mufafaasolt'u friendship and protec
tion the struggling colonists would
have been swept from the land.
'I'lla royal Wampanoags lived con
tinuously on the tract about Lake As
sawampsett from the time Tuspaquln ,
the Ulack Sachem , son-in-law of Mas
sasolt , set aside about GOO acres for
his heirs , until 40 years ago , when
Mrs. Zorviah Gould Mitchell , the
mother of the princesses , moved to
Ablngton that her children might ho
educated in the white man's way. As
the place was left without a caretaker ,
it was gradually encroached upon ;
and the neighboring whites finally
went so far as to soil portions of Hie
tract.
The oldest princess Is suffering from
consumption. She Is practically help
less , and upon Princess Wootone-
kanuskc falls the care of the house
hold and of the invalid. She boars
it patiently , oven uncomplainingly ,
with the fortitude that la the legacy
of her blood.
She accepts the hardships that have
followed their later 11 fo an a matter
of course ; she regards them as part
of the blight that has pursued her race
and has doomed It and fears them all
as part of the great tragedy. Xot so
the elder sister. Them is in her a
flash of the old haughty spirit t-f her
ancestors , some of the unconquerable
pride of race which made Masaasolt
the autocrat of warring tribes and
spurred King Philip to a hopeless
struggle that swept tbo longtn and

The town of Warren , It. 1. , has done
something toward the memory of the
sistprs' ancestor , Massasoit. On Oc
tober 10 , 1907 , a tablet was unveiled
over the spring which has always been
known by the name of the mighty In
dian sachem. It bubbled near his for
est home and the Massasolt Monument
association walled it up and improved
the surroundings that the spring might
run for all tlmo as a reminder of the
white man's Indebtedness. On a huge
stone was placed the tablet and on
the tablet is this Inscription : "Thlc
tablet placed beside the gushing wa
ter known for many generations as
Massasolt's spring commemorates the
great Indian sachem Massasoit , 'friend
of the white man , ' ruler of this region
when the Pilgrims of the Mayflower
landed at Plyjnoulh in the year of our
Lord , 1G20. " _
"
When the "Pilgrim Fathers landed In
America Massasoit's empire extended
from Cape Cod to the Narragansott.
Thirty villages owed him allegiance ;
30,000 Indians obeyed his word. But u
furious plague broke out and when the
white men met with the sachem his
people had been almost exterminated ;
whole tribes had been decimated. The
early historians say that the savages
"died in heaps , " and only u remnant
of about 300 warriors was left to the
ruler In his lodges about Massasolt
spring.
It was on Thursday , March 22 , 1021 ,
only 101 days after the Pilgrims had
landed on the new continent , that Mas
sasolt met them formally for the llrst
time. He had previously given an
audience to two of their emissaries ,
ono of whom was Edward Winslow , '
and had expressed friendliness for the
white man. So to this meeting he ,
came In all good faith , accompanied
by his half-brother , Quadeqnlna , and
GO of his warriors , all armed with
bows and arrows , their faces painted.
"Seme had skins on them and some
naked ; all strong , tall men in appear
ance. "
The Indian chief appeared dramat
ically on what is now called Watson's
hill , and lined up his men , making an
Imposing array. To thoin came Ed
ward Winslow , carrying a pair of
knives , a chain and a jewel for the
chief cmchcm ; also a pot of strong
water , with some biscuit and butter
for a treat. Winslow stayed with the
Indians as a hostage and Massasoit ,
followed by 20 of his warriors , de
scended the hill toward the Pilgrims.
Capt. Standish met him with a lllo of
six musketeers and gave him a salute ,
afterward escorting the chief to a
hastily erected building , furnished
with a green rug and three or four
cushions.
Here a treaty was made and signed
between Massasolt and the Pilgrims.
Winslow offered himself as a hostage
for the keening of the agreement : Mas
sasolt declined. A regulus as to honor
himself , ho scorned to accept a pledge.
Honor was to him as the breath of llfo ,
and for 50 years he kept the treaty to
the letter and the spirit ; until his
death , In fact. It was the Pilgrims
themselves who violated it. The gieat
Indian's fidelity to this agreement
made the American colony possible.
So great was the fame of Massasoit's
wisdom and goodness that It reached
King .lames of England , and that mon
arch sent his red brother' silver pipe
as a mark of esteem. This Massasoit
carefully guarded , hut when ono of his
warriors did a great deed of valor , the
chief was HO moved to admiration that
ho made him a present of this , his

Ho was a philosopher , too , in his
crude way. And of the bigness of hia
heart numberless acts testify. Ho fa
vored a strange custom of his people ,
formed on the Idea that happiness Is
only a matter of comparison. Acting
upon this , ho once , when making a
journey with Winslow , sent messages
into Plymouth to inform the people
that tholr leader was dead. When the
chief and his friend entered the town ,
the general sorrow was changed to re
joicings.
"Why did you sent us word that
Winslow was dead ? " asked one of the
Pilgrims.
"To make yon happier on my re
turn , " was the reply.

RUSTY CANS RUIN FLAVOR

Milk comes In contact with iron In
the form of rusty cans or poorly
tinned utensils in practically all
creameries. The quality of the milk
will to a largo extent depend upon the
condition of utensils Into which the
milk Is poured , kept , and Dually hauled
to the factory. The degree of Intlu-
unco of Iron on milk will depend
largely upon the temperature of the
milktho length of tlmo kept In the
cans , and the amount of exposed HUT-
face.

Competition among creameries ,

has Indirectly resulted In making
patrons more careless. This practice
leads the Indifferent milk producer In
to bad habits and discourages the tidy

the painstaking patron would bo en
