Where Writer Strawberries Crow.
March 15;h we took the train for
(Vila, the next day reached Law tie, a
quiet ltttle town settled ly northern
ers devoted to stralerry culture. Here
we spent a week drlviu, alkiu, sit
ting on the broad piaxza of the hotel
in the sun, getting tanned and fat
Nothing here is cultivated but acres
and acres of strawberries, little tiny
plants; but raiso the leaves and you
can pick nearly a quart front one vine.
The number of quarts shipped north
during the season is fabulous, but oc
casional freezes do damage.
The mornings and evenings were al
ways cold, so we had a wood fire in
the big fire-place in our room, of fat
pitch pine wood, and it was very fas
cinating to watch the fire light, as it
flickered here aud there, lighting the
room so that we Deeded no lamp. All
through the South the mockingbirds
were singing, calling and answering
each other day and night. Returning
to Jacksonville we devoted the few
hours we had to visiting the shops and
the Exposition building. Here in the
Alligator Tool we 6aw a number of the
uncanny looking beasts, the largest of
which was ten feet long, so utterly
hideous and ugly that he was most fas
cinating to me. Our next stop was at
Savannah, where we drove all over the
city and out on the beautiful shell
road to the old cemetery, called "Bon
aventure" (Beautiful Way), where the
trees, great live oaks, covered with
gray moss, are a hundred years old.
Crcat Natural Arches.
Roads have been cut through the
woods and the effect Is Indescribable;
it is like driving through great cathe
dral arches, so sombre and solemn, and
so grand withal, a fitting place for
the dead. Savannah is a beautiful old
city, with many parks and squares
planted with palms and palmettos,
right in its heart. The magnolias
seem the favorite tree, and they grow
to a great helrht. The houses are large
and broad, with verandas all around
the two stories, and they must be
needed in the hot summer. We had a
very full day, and at seven o'clock took
the sleeper for Richmond. We rode
all the next day, reaching our destina
tion in the evening, and drove to
Ford's Hotel, where we had stopped
thirty-five years ago on our wedding
trip. But the hotel had changed, the
city has grown, and nothing looked
natural except Sunset Park and the
old Capitol Park. The grass was turn
ing green and the numerous gray
squirrels were so tame they came and
ate from my hand. We drove all the
morning, visiting the beautiful statue
of Gen. Robert E. Lee a bronze eques
trian on an immense granite pedestal.
In the afternoon we drove to the park
and hunted up Mr. Pollard, the Vir
ginian who captured my husband dur
ing the war. It was their first meet
ing since that memorial time when they
were mere boys, one wearing the blue
and the other the gray, and they had
a most interesting "war talk."
The next morning we took our train
for Washington exactly five weeks from
the day we left It has been truly a
delightful trip, beneficial In health and
education, perfectly charming in every
way, whose memory will go with me
through life. C. G. G.
PRISCE WHO LIKES HORSES.
Brother of Heir to German Crown a
Rough Kider.
Eitel Frederick, prince of Prussia,
and younger brother of the crown I
prince of Germany, la considered one
of the finest hor?inea of Europe. The
German people ,ove him greatly for
this, along with his kindness to his
animals, a quality sometimes wanting
when great daring is possessed by
boys.
When the prince was sixteen he was
given the freedom of the royal stables
and told that he could select one of
the fine Arabian ponies for his own
use. He asked if he could look after
him Just as boys in lesser stations in
life do with their ponies, and his
father's reply was:
"I want my boj-3 to know how to
work and care for everything that
belongs to them."
Eitel did care for his pony and spent
iany moments learning all about the
needs and nature of horses. He dis
covered that his Arabian could Jump
aid, riding him ono clav. he cleared a
feur-barred fence, which greatly de
lighted the emperor, who was riding
with him.
A short time after this his father
gave him a powerful hunting horse.
Tke boy looked like a midget on him,
ut would not ride him for three or
four days.
"A horse needs to know you," he
gravely said, "before he makes up his
mind whether you will be kind and
reasonable with him, or harsh."
After hoy and horse had become ac
quainted he invite Lis father to take
a ride in his company. The two set
out for a gallop throuph the forests,
Emperor wunara is regarded as a
splendid horseman, but he told a circle
of friends after this ride, that Eitel
had given him a ride for his life. He
leaped ditche3 and hedges, took the
roughest roads, held his horse under
perfect control and won the greatest
praise.
It ls told of this hoy that he cannol
go Into the Toyal stables without every
horse In the stalls turning his head
and whinnying a glad welcome.

C J. KUlNCIURU
The most rlctureequc- character of
the western frontier passed away last
year when Chief Joseph of the Net
IVrces, or, as they knew him. lnmut-too-yah-lat-lat
(Thunder traveling over
the mountains), folded his blanket
about him and passed beyond the Great
Divide. The members of his tribe,
all of whom were singularly devoted
to htm. and tho privileged few of the
white race who knew him Intimately,
believe that this great leader, perhaps
the greatest Indian leader of the
period, died of homesickness and heart
ache. To know Chief Josopa was to hare
revealed to you a glimpse Into a van
ished rast There was a loftiness and
dignity mingled with a charming
naivete la his manner, and a tender
p.itluH In his speivh. that made you
forget tho Indian and recall the old
Hebrew prophets of tho days of the
Captivity.

A3 the cnier ana msionan u uia
tribe, Joseph's plea for the Nez Perces
has often been heard in Washington.
In Its deep sense of eternal righteous
ness and of the deadly wrong suffered
at the hand3 of the white man; In
its smothered fiie and in Its hopeful
longing for the coming of Justice and
better times for the tribe, it was the
most powerful and pathetic appeal ever
made by an Indian.
From the viewpoint of close asso
ciation with the red man, his faults
are magnified and his virtues forgot
ten. From the viewpoint of the reader
of Cooner and other romantic writers
. . m t . . VI.
on Indian topics, his vices are obscured,
and bis virtues unduly exaggerates
Judged from tho Impartial standpoint
of a rather long acquaintance, which
contains meetings in camp and city,
in the writer's opinion, Chief Joseph
was the finest type of the red man
this country will ever know.
He died of homesickness, and that
statement will provoke no sceptical
smile from one who knows the Indian
character. The earth that contains
the ashes of an Indian's dead la sacred
and hallowed. The longing in an In
dian's heart for the land of his birth
la as strong as that which turns our
wandering footsteps baclt to the old
home. When Fate m the shape of an
unkind Government forcibly wrests
from him the land of his fathers, his
grief, thoueh repressfed and concealed,
Is as poignant as our own would be, II
we were so treated.
Loved Home of the Tribe.
I recall one expression of Joseph's
In this connection. "My father 1s
buried in Wallowa Valley. I love that
land more than all the rest of the world
A man who would not love his father's
grave is worse than a wild animal."
Have you ever been In Wallowa, that
beautiful valley of Winding Waters?
It 13 America's Switzerland. Its
lofty mountains rear their heads so
Mch that a snow mantle rests there
all the year round. Their feet are In
lakes which rival Luzerne. Down the
steep slopes, through narrow walled
canyons which the sunlight never en
ters, the streams come rushing like
cataracts. In their cold ripples the
gamey trout lurks expectant eager to
give battle for his life when the angler
tempts him to the hook. In the autumn
the salmon, In countless numbers, leap
the
waterraiis, and are caught and
dried by the Indians for winter food
on the forested slopes, In shadowy
ravines, and over the rolling hills, the
deer and elk, the caribou, the grizzly
oua uie cinnamon, and the wary mount
ain aheep abound. It Is a game para
dise, with rich pastures for ponies. j
It was In this valley that the grand-1
father of Chief Joseph welcomed the
daring explorers, Lewis and Clark.
Speaking of them. Joseph said: They
talked straight, and our people made
them, a great feast Ail the Net Perce
made friends with Lewi aud Clark,
and agreed to let them pass w rough
the country, and never to make war on
white men. And this promise the Net
Pcrces have never broken. No whit
man can accuse them of bad faith, and
speak wtth a straight tongu. It has
always been the pride of the Nes Perce
that they were the friends of the whit
men.
Encroachments of the White Men.
It was not to be expected that the
Indian would be allowed to remain for
ever unmolested In the possession of
this beautiful vailed. When the western
fever broke out, settlers came at first
In small numbers, and the valley being
large, all lived In peace. But It could
not last There came a day when by
means of presents and fair promises
a portion of the band signed a treaty
dividing their lands. Joseph's father
refused to sign away his birth-right
and withdrew his band from the coun
cil, in 1SC3. another council was held.
A chief, named Lawyer, wtth authority
of a part of the tribe, sold nearlv all
of the Nei Perres country, Including
the Wallowa Valley. The latter was
the particular property of Joseph's own
people; its Boundaries, for years, had
been marked by poles; had never been
disputed. The old chief said: "Inside
lH?.J? TO?"-? wn"
rri. ,u,r'
side the boundary, all our people were
wru. n circiea irvuna mo graves or
our fathers, and we never give up their
graves to any man.1
In spite of the treaty, the Indians re
mained la unmolested possession for
eight years, when the white men began
to encroach upon the boundaries. The
conditions threatened to become se
rious, and the Government asked for
a treaty council. Joseph, owlnr to nil
father's age and blindness, represented
his people. He refused to remove to
the Lapwai agency la Idaho and aire
up the valley, so the council came to
caught
From that time on, the white settlers
iravo constant offense to the Indians.
They stole their horses, drove off
their cattle and branded the calves, and
then claimed them. It speaks well for
the strong hand Joseph held over his
people, and for his desire for peace,
that the Indians were patient so long.
Finally, Joseph was notified by General

n 1 ti 'nun
v A
Howard, that It was the purpose of the
Government to remove the Nez Perces
to the reservation, as they had sold
their land to the Government
Incontrovertible Indian Logic
Joseph always denied such a sale.
He said: "Suppose a man should
come to me and say: 'Joseph, I like
your horses and want to buy them.' 1
Say to him: 'No my horses suit me, I
will not sell them.' Then he goes to
my neighbor, snd says to him: 'Joseph
has some good horses. I want to buy
them, but he refuses to sell My neigh
answers: 'Pay me the money, and I
111 sell you Joseph's horses.' The
white man returns to me and says:
'Joseph I have bought your horses and
you must let me have them.' If we sold
our land to the Government, this Is the
way It was bought"

Great Chief Joseph.
In the war which followed. Joseph
led his little band, as only a great gen
eral could lead them, but; the Net
Perces never had a chance to win.
Joseph surrendered to General Mile,
and for years the tribe was moved back
and forth over the country regardless
of promUe nut do when they sur

to Washington, w here he met the Pres
ident, the Cabinet officers, and num

They all say they are my friends, and
that I shall have Justice, but whll
their mouths all talk right. I do not
understand why nothing Is done for
my people, I have beard talk and
talk, but nothing I done. Word do
