Where Winter Strawberries Crow. March 15th we took the train for Oca I a, the next day reached l.awiie, a quiet little town settled by northern ers devoted to strawberry culture. Here we spent a week driving, walking, sit ting on the broad piazza of the tiotel In the snu. netting tanned and fat. Nothing here is cultivated but acres and acres of strawberries, little tiny plants: but raise the leaves and you can pick nearly a quart from 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 Ore in the big fire-place in our room, of fat pitch pine wood, and it was ery fas cinating to watch the fire light, as it flickered here and there, lighting the room so that we needed no lamp. All through the South the mocking birds were singing, calling and answering each other day and night. Keturning to Jacksonville we devoted the few hours we had to visiting the shops and the Kxposition building. Here in the Alligator Tool we saw 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 "Hon aventure" (Beautiful Way), where the trees, great live oaks, covered with gray moss, are a hundred years old. Great 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 height. The houses are large and broad, with verandas all around the two stories, and they must bo needed in the hot summer. AVe 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. Dut 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 1 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 pnrk 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 vearinsr the b'ue and the other the gray, and they had a most interesting- "war talk." j The next morning we took our tra'n 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. C PRIME WUO HUES HOUSES. Brother of Heir to German Crown a Hough Kidcr. Eitel Frederick, prime of Pru.-sia. and younger brother of the crown prince of Gt-rmauy, is considered mi of the finest horsemen of Kurop.-. Ti. German people love him greatly for this, along with his kindne.-s to h..- unimals, a quality sometimes wanting when great daring is pos.-e.-,s.i-d by iKiys. When the prince was sixteen le was given the freedom of the royal stal.ie. aiid told that he could select one- o:' t!ie fine Arabian ponies for l.i.; own use. He asked if he could look alter him just as boys in lesser stations in life do with their ponies, and his father's reply was: 'I want niy boys to know how to r-ork and -are for everything 'hat i t iongi to them." Eiiel iii I ' " for his pony and j-pent isany moments learning all about the needs and nature of horses. He dis covered that, his Arabian could jump asd, riding him '-- he cleared a fsur-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 hor-e. Tie boy looked like a midget on him, but would not ride him for three or lour days. -A lio'e needs to know you," he gravely said, "before makes up hi mind whether yon will le kind an 1 reasonable with him, or harsh." After boy and horse had become ac quainted ho invited his father to tal e a ride in his company. The two set out for a gallop through the forests. Emperor William Is regarded as a Mtlf.fiHirl Imrseman hut ,. 1,'iM :i i-tr'-te I of friends after this ride, that Ei'el had given him a ri'1 his lit". He leaped ditches and hedgi s, took the roughest roads, held his ho.M- under perfect control and won the ('reatet praise.

Ill Ni II VMS Tho most idctiiresdiie character of i the western frontier passed away last ' vear when Chief Joseph of the Nex Pcrces. or. as they knew him. In nuit too-yah-lat-lat (Thunder traveling over the mountains), folded his blanket about him nnd passed beyond the Great Pivide. The members of his tribe, all of whom were singularly devoted to him, and the 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 Josepn was to have revealed to you a glimpse into a van ished past. There was a loftiness and dignity mingled with a charming naivc In his manner, and a tender pathos In bis speech, that made you forget the Indian and recall the old Hebrew prophets of the days of the Captivity. f3St ETC .1 Wfr'Sfr (. Mil' J' )Sti'H AM) MciSL M IN f L ...5 the ( l find Historian 01 ins tribe, Joseph's pica for the S-z Ivn-es has often b' en heard in Washington. In its deep of eternal righteous ness and of the deadly wrong suffered at the ban Is of the white man; in its smothered fite and in its hopeful longing for the coming of justice and better times for the tribe, it was thf most powerful find pathetic appeal ever made by an Indian. From the viewpoint of close asso ciation wPh the red man, his faults are magnified and his virtues forgot ten. From the vi'Wpoini. 01 ine c-iu'-i of Cooper arid other romantic 'writers ' , ! on Indian topi's, bis vices ar" obscurea, and his virtues unduly exaggerated. Judged from the impartial standpoint of a rather long acquaintance, which contains meetings in camp and city, In the wri'er'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 Is sacred ttnd hallowed. The longing, in an In dian's heart for the land of his birth Is as strong as that which turns our wandering footsteps back to the old home. When Fate In the shape of an unkind Government forcibly wrests from him the land of his fathers, his grief, though repressed and concealed, is as poignant as our own would be, if we were so treated. Loved Home of the Tribe. I recall one expression of Joseph's in this connection. ".My father Is 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 is America's Switzerland. Its lofty mounta.ns rear their heads so high that a snow mantle rests there all the year round. Their feet are in Iaki-s which rival Luzerne. Down th steep elopes, through narrow walled canyons which tho sunlight never en ters, the streams come rushing like cataracts. In their cold ripples the pamey trout lurks expectant eager to give battle for his life when the angler tempts him to ths hook. In the autumn the salmon, In countless numbers, leap the waterfalls, and are caught and dried by the Indians for winter food. On the forusted slopes, in shadowy ravinis, and over the rolling hills, the deer and elk, the earilou, the grizzly and the cinnamon, aad the wary mount- - - r.' ! .1. . mfi - - r .-. k -. rr , V . -1.9 a.ln sheep abound. It is a game pat disc, with rich postures for ponies. It was In this valley that the grand father of Chief Joseph welcomed the daring explorer. Lewis and Clark. Speaking of them. Joseph said: "They talked straight, and our people mads them n great feast. All the Nei Tercet made friends with Iwis nnd Chirk, and agreed to let them pass in rough the country, nnd never to make war on white men. Anil this promise the Net Pcrces have never broken. No whits man can accuse them of lad faith, and speak with a straight tongue. It has nlways loon the pride of the Ncs Tercet that they were the friends of the whttt men. Encroachments of the White Men. It was not to be expected that the Indian would be allowed to remain for ever tin molested In the possession of this beautiful vailed. When the western fever broke out. settlers came at first In small numbers, and the valley being i . . .... i i. i. ..i large, all lived In pence. Hut 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 blrth-rlght, and w ithdrew his band from the coun cil. In IM'i.l, another council was held. A chief, named lawyer, with authority of a part of the tribe, sold nearly all of the No Perces country. Including tho 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 Is the homo of my people1 the whits man may take tho land outside. In side the boundary, all our people were born. It circles around tho graves of our fathers, and we never give up their carue tumbling dow n without warn graves to any man." j ing. Many of the superstitious turn- In spite of the treaty, the Indians re ed white with fenr. but a scientific mained in unmolested possession for ' man In the room went to some length eight rears, when the white men beran i to explain that the fall of the picture to encroach upon the boundaries. The conditions threatened to become se- a treaty council. Joseph, owing to his r.a,'. ,1 ... i luiuri s mil, L nil urns, trocil I cu his nconi ha rrfnse.1 to rimnv in the Ipwai agency in Idaho and give up the valley, eo the council came to naught. From that time on, the white settlers .rave constant offense to the Indians, i'hey stole their horses, drove off their cattle and branded the calves, and then claimed them. It speaks well for tbe strong hand Joseph held over his people, and for his desiro for peace. -l,at the Indians were patient so long. Finally, Joseph was notified by General 'TjHasaitrjrj it';i;j;fiiiifi't!ijii!itnjiiiiti j i XVl It f D IVf W BWIO S OF H S TBIlit Howard, that it was the purpose of (he Government to remove the Nez Perces to the reservation, as they had sold their land to the Government. Incontrovertible Indian Loic. Joseph alw'ays denied such a sate. He eald: "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 wlil not sell them.' Then he goes to my neighbor, and says to him: 'Joseph has some good horses. I want to buy thern. but he refuses to sell.' My neigh- answers: 'Pay me the money and I ...Ill r,H Tsui n It n V em ' 'I' ti A will sell you Joeeph'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." fXAMIMNO NtW f ABM A railroad is being built bstween Damascus and Mscea.

New Style of Auto Suitable Carrying Farm Produce, One of the first cable pictorial for de- Scriptlous of the useful war automobile, as shown in the Illustration, has Juki came to hand. This Is a special farm er's type. It ran be constructed in any small power, for Jogging along pur poses, from IiO to 1J0 horse. A special feature of Interest to market gardners Is the ability of the wagon to run lor twenty minutes after having the tires riddled with bullets, which makes It thoroughly practical. It Is entirely bomb-proof when beyond the range of the enemy's guns. A "starting crank" Is fitted In front, but "the machine can be started automatically from the Irivers seat," where the principal crank Is stifiposerl to be located. "On the top of the rear portion of the box" the specifications read, "Is a turret from which projects a Hotchklss gun which can be trained In any direction" upon competing market gardners." A special quality of steel has been employed for armor." At .'! yards I,ele bullets fall to pierce, but glance off, thus In-1 suring adequate protection to loads of eggs, live fihoatg and other tender vege tables. 'The machine carries two Hteel rails, which can be quickly unshipped and placed across a ditch." ThlH feature Is of great Import to the average tiller of soil, as It means that If the machine becomes frightened or unmanagable due to the sudden appearance of horse men or the flight of birds, nnd Jumps ditches or fences, it can be quickly got ten back into the road, and sped along TTPE OF AUTOMOBILE for the early morning market. The cost of this little delivery wagon Is only $1(1,000; which of course places It with in the reach of any farmer and every editor of a paper that Is If he happens to bo close enough so that he can touch It. It Is estimated that if all the garden and farm produce could be marketed by means of this simple and Inexpensive device the cost to the city consumer would not bs Increased over :'00 at the most. Great Chief Joavin. In the war which followed, Joseph led his little bnnd, ns only a great gen eral could lend thoni, but; tho Net Perces never hnd a chance to win. Joseph surrendered to General Miles, and for yenrs the tiibo wns moved back and forth over tho country regard less of promises iiiMile when I hey sur rendered. After one of Joseph's visits to Washington, where he met the Pres ident, the Cabinet officers, and num erous Congressmen, he remarked: "They all sny they are my friends, nnd that I shall have justice, but whllo their mouths all tnlk right, I do not understand why nothing is done for my people. 1 have heard talk nnd talk, but nothing Is done. Words do not pay for my dead people. They do not pay for my country overrun by white men. It makes my heart sick when I remember nil the good words arid all the broken pioiiiIhch. You might as well expect the river to run buck ward, as thnt any man who wns bom free should In contented, when penned up nnd denied liberty, to go where bo pleases. Pathetic Plea for f reedom. "Oh let nie be a free nuin! free lo travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trnde where I cIionc, free to choose my own touchers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think nnd talk and net for myself and I will oln-y every law or submit to the pen alty." Gradually ns the yenrs pnssed nwny, Joseph grew to understand the hope, lessness of achieving his heart's desire a return to Wallowa, though he never ceased to mnke his pica for justice. When Ihe end rune a year ago, he wus surrounded by the remnant ot his bnnd. who stood beside his deathbed In silent grief. On the 20th of September Inst, these same devoted members of the tribe stood around the grnve of Joseph nnd listened to the funeral address deliv ered by his successor and friend.
