be burled. The tahlet was provided
In 1902 by the Historical society of
'Rucks county, but the man who owned
the ground where tho grave Is situ
ated refused to permit Its erertton un
less the society bought the land Imme
diately surrounding the grave. Ah the
society had no money for the purpose
It aoandoed the project. Recently the
Bite of the (crave was sold, nnd the new
owner Is expected to consent to the
erection of the memorial.
The supposed grave of Tammany Is
a few miles northeast of 1 loylesto wn,
the county seat of Bucks county. It Is
close to a spring on the banks of the
Neshaminy creok In New Britain town
ship. Without a doubt a famous Indian was
burled there aboiu the middle of the
18th century. Whether or not he was
the sachem known as Tammany may
never be positively decided.
According to the stories preserved
In the old families of tho enlghbor
hood, Tammany and a large party of
Indians were on their way toward Phil
adelphia from the Interior of Pennsyl
vania, to particulate rn a treaty ne
frotlatlon. The aged chief became ail
and was left In a hut on the banks of
the Neshanilny with an attendant.
Finding himself abandoned and un
able to take part in the preparation it
the treaty the chief tried to end his
life by setting fire to the hut, but the
attendant extinguished the blaze. Soori
afterward he succeeded in stabbing
himself through the heart with his
hunting knife.
The people of the vicinity, who like
the white settlers generally held Tarn-
many in high esteem, buried the dead
chief beside the spring near the hut
where he died. -Ijater, it is said, the
bodv of one of Tammany's sons was
brought 'o the same spot and buried
beside the father, the graves being
marked by slabs of slate. Some. 60
vcars ago the owner of the land built
these slabs Into the wall of a new barn.
Those who question the. accuracy rf
the story base their objections princi
pally upon the fact that written ac
counts telling of Tammany show he
was in hiR prime about the time thit
William Perm came to America '.n
1B82. Therefore if he lived until 1750
he must have been nearly 100- years
old.
The signature of a great chief of the
pelawsre" tribe who bore a name resem
bling Tammany appears attached to sev
eral treaties and deeds executed in Penn
svlvnnladn tfce latter part of the seven
teenth centurv. The name is also men
tioned in early official documents and
is written variously as Tammie, Tam
rnond, Tamenn, Tamane. King Tam
many, Great Sachem Tammany, ana fin
ally after his death Saint Tammany.
He is said to have been one of the
chiefs who greeted Penn upon his ar
rival and also one of those who met
Penn and his followers under the his
toric elm tree In Philadelphia to com
plete the treaty of which it has been
aald that it was' the only agreement of
Hs kind never sworn to and never
broken.
The deeds to which Tammany's nama
!s attached show that he did not hesi
tate to sell the Bame land more than
once to the same purchasers. Penn not
infrequently agreed to deals of this
kind when the Indians declared them
selves dissatisfied with their first bar-
grains.
The spot where Tammany is supposed
to be buried is part of a large tract
which he first sold to Penn In 1683 for
"so much wampum, so many guns,
shoes, stockings, looking glasses, blan
kets and other goods as ye sd William
penn shull please to give unto us." Ap
parently Perm's generosity did not come
up to expectations, and In 1 fi ! 2 and
again in 1697 Penn bought the same
land again from Tammany.
Thesf actions do not seem to have
militated against the popular canoniza
tion of Tammany after his death. In
the literature of the day he was pic
tured as the quintessence of Indian no
bility, and by the time of the revolu
tion he was America's patron saint.
May 1 was the day set apart in his
honor. The date was that on which
the fishing season opened in the Schuyl
kill river, and the observance originated
with the Kehuvlkill Fishing company
club of Philadelphia, which claimed to
have obtained from Tammany the right
to fish in the Schuylkill.

The time will come when the world
will read with horror of these atrocities,
and when t.'ie monstrous thing known as
vivisection will tie regarded as tin- per

However enlightened these men be

Qnnn..l Case Recalled.
It has been said bv experts that the
terrible orlme.8 committed by Mrs liun
ness at the Port of Missing Men In
Indiana were the result of her being
emotionally dead.-
Those who read the arts done In the
name of science by those surgeons who
have gone mad over vivisection can but
think these men are also emotionally
dead.
There la great Interest now among
the thinking people of the world, tho
people with hearts and emotions, ns
well as with hrnins, in this subject of
vivisection.
.For a long time It jvaa supposed by
many tha.. ajlajitl-vlviaection societies,
were composed "of hysterical arid ignor
ant Individuals, who were opposed to
the march of progress. Hut the reve
lations made by this society have been
too appalling to ignore. And these rev
elatfons have aroused a widespread In
terest in the work of the association.
A letter received recently by a friend
was sent me for perusal, and to imp as
I naw fit.
Portions of this letter are given:
"I am going to call to your attention
something In which many of us are
deoply Interested. I refer to the matter
of vivisection.
"There has been introduced Into the
New ljork legislature a hill having for
its object the regulating and restrict
ing to within certain limits, at least,
of tho practice of vivisection.
"Ab the law stands now, there Is
practically no limit to which the med
ical profession may not go in experi
ments on living animals. There is no
provision for the use of anaesthetics,
and, so far as can be ascertained, they
are generally not. used at all, or else
insufficiently and with great careless
ness. There is no provision for a mer
ciful death at the end of the expr.l
ment. . .-
JSo Reign of law,
"Often these helpless creatures are
tortured and left In great agony for
days and weeks, and in some cases even
months before death releases them.
There Is no provision by law for in
spection of the places where these
things are done. As some one has
truly said, the vlvlsector himself Is the
court of first and last resort, and I
think If must be admitted he has fre
quently shown himself unworthy of the
authority lie holds. Apparently many
of the experiments are without Justifi
cation from the standpoint of science
and tho same experiments Is repeated
again and again, regardless of the. sif-
ciet, staggered on Its forepaws, walk
ing on the tips of Its toes, until It fell
over, frothing at the mouth and Weeping
abundantly. Its windpipe was then sill
open and the nozzle of the bellows con
nected with a gas nozzle was Inserted.
The side of the face, the side of the
neck, the side of the fore leg and the
Interior of the belly were then dis
sected out. and the aclatlc and other
nerves were exposed and mutilated by
galvanic shocks. No anaestnetie was
used, and the agony the poor creatuic
suffered must have been awful: but
It was continued for 10 hours, at the end
of which time the operators left for
their homes, but they did not release
the subject of their experiments, or end
lis sufferings by death. They left It
helpless and .mutilated as It was. in
order that they might resume their In
vestigations the next day, without pre
liminary delay. When (lay came, how
ever, the animal was dead, and the ma
chine was at work (as they often are
in these laboratories, night and day)
pumping air Into and out of a dead
body.
inothef' s-.ir(?e-iTT"rpTiVte bow he first
nimde a dog fond of him and then began
a process of gradual mutilation, for the
purpose of ascertaining how long It
would take to turn the dog's love to
hate. He cut off one paw at a time,
ant! then the ears. After this animal
had endured much torture, he did grow
to hate his tormentor, and growled soon
as he saw him. Whereupon this noble
devotee of science proceeded to destroy
the dog's eyes in order .to observe
whether it would still show signs of
hate. As soon as the dog heard the
man after that he snarled and growled,
at which the later, to complete his in
teresting experiment, poured hot lead
Into the dog's ears, "thereby," he says,
"causing an inflammation which ruined
the drum of the ears." Now tost the
animal could neither see nor hear, "it
showed no aversion to me."
Dr. Oorgan'a Words.
Or. Gorgan-. an English army surgeon,
who in his early life was assistant in
the laboratory of one of the greatest
living experimental physiologists, re-,
lated to the royal commission that they
sacrificed in. that one laboratory from
one to three dogs a day, besides rabbits
and other animals. He said: "After
much experience 1 am of the opinion
that not one of those experiments was
'justifiable. The idea of the good to
humanity was simply out of tho ques
tion, and would have been laughed at,
the greatest aim being to keep up or
eet ahead of one's contemporaries In
science at the nrlce of an incalculable
amount of suffering, lniqultously In
flicted upon the poor animals. During
three campaigns, he adds, "amid the
horror of war I have witnessed many
harsh sights, hut I think the saddest
sight I have ever witnessed was when
the dogs were brought up from the
cellar to the laboratory to bo sacrificed.
Thev seemed seized with horror as soen
as they smelled the air of the place,
ler and presently exercises nu ner
mammary alands. The next day sue
la again visited by her tormentor, but
on seeing him her terror Is Indescrib
able. The puppies, of course, starved. '
It Is Inconceivable that the Orewt" 're
ntlva Power, which formed this won
dorful universe, should make it neces
rv to torture anv of our lesser kin
In order to save the lives of human i
beings, or to give such agony to un
offending creatures to save more In
telligent creatures from pain. I do
not believe it Is necessary.
I do not believe It Is right; I do not
believe It Is science
In one of the April magazines an ar
ticle appeared concerning recent In
vestigations of science, and among oth
er things, the discovery of ozone, as a
destrover of germs, was noted.
It seems that a certain preparation
and application of almple air had done
in some leaser experiments what the
antitoxins obtained by the horrible
processes of vivisection do for disease.

electricity and osteopathy and X and
Violet Rays have uiperoertod 'the leech
and the lancet, so surely will humane
and merciful methods he discovered to
substitute for the awful process of
vivisection. The writer of the letter
quoted still further:
France to Tore.
"There has transpired lately one very
encouraging fact, according to reports
sent over from France. It is that the
medical faculty of Paris has declared
Itself forcibly agalnFt the practice of
vivisection. It rejected the proposal
made by some members of the muni
cipal council to establish a professor
ship for the purpose rjf Instituting for
students a practice of surgery ,.hy ex
perimenting on living animals. The fac
ulty replied that this had nothing to do
with science and that nothing justified
such vivisection 'by operating on dumb
animals.' The ..students tidVer learn to
operate on the human body, but rather
are led to make serious mistakes. The
faculty added that it considered vlvt-j
section 'inhuman, and even Immoral.'
And this, from Paris, where has been
for years a perfect mecca of vivisect lon
Ists. T

profession really stands for what Is

district headquarters Portland, Ban
vnr and Missoula. Mont., or some other
points equally well or better located for
the purpose.
At the head of each office there will
he a district forester and an assistant
district forester. I'nder these will be
experta in charge of the various llnea
of work. A chler of grazing win nave
charge of range matters. A chief of
products will handle the preservative
treatment of timber and strength teats
and atudv market conditions. A chief of
lands will look after such matters aa
land examinations.
Office of Landi.
The office of lands deals with ques
tions Involving the validity of clalmB
asserted under the public land laws; ap
plications for special use of the re
sources of the national forests; changes
in boundaries of forests, and the exam
ination of lands applied for under the
net of June 11, 1906, for agricultural
settlempo'-
The forest service, however, never
passes on the titles themselves. That
is entirely a matter for the general
land office to decide. In the case of
applications for homesteads under the
act of June 11, 1906, the forest service
Is called upon to decide whether the
land Is In fact more valuable for agri
culture than for timber, and If It Is, to
recommend Its listing as open to entry
and patent. In the case of claims tho
service ascertains whether any facts
exist which seem to show that the
claim Is not a legal one, in order that
national forest land may not be unlaw
fully taken up. But it rests always
with the land office of the Interior de
partment to decide whether the title
should or should not be granted. Tho
branch of lands In the district forest
service organization does not mean any
new assumption of land business.
Silviculture and Operation.
There will also be In each district a
chief of silviculture, who will have
charge of timber sales, planting, and
sllvioal experiments, and a chief of op
eration. The latter will supervise the
personnel of the forests, the permanent
improvement work, through an engineer
in charge, the accounts of the. district.
Including receipts, disbursements, and

A Resourceful Editor.
A stroke of journalistic enterprlsa
that beats anything that Yankee In
ventiveness ever suggested Is reported
from France. In a small village, when
almost everybody was at work In the
rlelrtfi the local newspaper announced
that in the busy season all the Import
ant news would be condensed In a single
short paragraph and that the remainder
of the sheet would be smeared with a
fly-killing compound, Instead of print
er's Ink. In a brief article the editor
said: "In this way we will be able to
give our roaders appreciable advantages
which are: First. the possibility of
learning all the news of the dav In a
few minutes; second, the means of re
ducing the plague of noisome insects
which poison the countryside and dis
seminate a number of diseases. "
