AT ' AN INDIAN’S GRAVE?
Where “Home, Sweet Home,” Was
First Sung by Its Author.
i~
[t Secured for Him the Favor and
, Friendship _ of His Captors — An In-
' cident of the Tennessee and
i Georgia Boundary War.
When .the boundary line between
Tennessee and Georgia was established
it passed half a mile south of the spring
Tuck-a-lee-chee—chee, among the foot-
hills of the Unakas, and as it. crossed
one of the principal Indian trails it
became a place of much importance.
’There had already grown up a strong
rivalry between the Tennessee tribes,
headed by Chief Ross, and the Georgia
tribes, headed by Maj. Ridge, both half
breeds and men of extraordinary ability
as leaders. The establishment of the
new boundary line fixed the limits of
their respective territories, and to try
and harmonize as far as possible the
contending factions the government es-
tablished a trading post there.
John Howard, Payne appeared upon
the scene and was accused of inciting
the Indians to insubordination. He
was placed under arrest as an incen-
diary and carried to the council house.
The name of the place was changed
from the euphonious Indian appella
tion of Tuck-a-lee-ch-ee-chee to the one
more easily pronounced of Red Clay,
because of the color of the soil in that
vicinity. ‘
While Payne was held there one of
the first bands arrived, and among the
Indians was the chief, Oo-chee, or Rat-
tling Gourd, a broken hearted man.
He was moody and abstracted and re-
fused all invitations to the council
house and would partake of no festive
enjoyments whatsoever, but spent most
of his time at the graves of his wife and
child farther up the valley.
At last one morning he was missed
from his accustomed place by the camp-
fire and an alarm was immediately
raised that Battling Gourd had es:
coped.
The patrol scattered in every direc—
tion in search of him, and seine one
thought of his fondness for the spot
where his loved ones slept and went-
in search of him there.
And there they found him. W'elter-
ing in his own blood, his body lay be-
tween the little mounds that covered
his squaw and papoose.
In some way he had secreted a. bayo-
net when the Indians were being dis- -
armed, and brooding over his removal,
he became desperate, and, seeking that
lone spot, he chanted his death song,
fell upon the point of the bayonet,
which pierced his heart, and died on the
spot where he had often expressed a
desire to be laid for his last long sleep.
The affair caused great excitement
and indignation. The malcontents
took advantage of the distressing oc-
currence to stir up strife, and fears
were. entertained of mutiny.
A grave was dug or. the spot where
he lay and the chief was buried by the
sbldiers, one of the Moravian mission-
aries officiating. After the services
were over John Howard Payne, who
had been a silent witness to the pa-
thetic scene, began singing softly to
himself the song which'Fhas since been
echoed through every land on earth.
Gen. Bishop, who had kept a close
scrutiny on his actions, heard the song
and called Payne to him.
“Young man,” said the stern old In-
dian fighter, “where did you learn that
song?”
“I wrote that song myself,” replied
Payne.
“And where did you get the tune ‘3”
“I composed that also.”
“Would you let me have a copy
of it?”
“Certainly I will.”
“Well, a man who can sing and write
like that is no incendiary. Appear-
ances may be against you, but I am go-
ing to set you free. I shall write (mt
your discharge immediately and a pass
to anywhere you choose through the
nation.”
Payne had been housed at the home
of a family living near by and on his
return there he exhibited his pass and
related the circumstances. That was
the first time that“Home,SweetHome,”
had ever been sung in public—Atlanta

uThe Cooperative Idea Among Farmers.
in A striking evidence of the dominance
of the associative idea among the set:-
tlers of irrigated lands is seen in the
plan of a. colony which settled in south-
ern Idaho as recently as 1804. These
colonists had observed that the min-
ing-camps of that region were litfizred
with tin cans, the labels of which bore
evidence of the prosperity of distant
I
. industries. They also learned that
the condensed milk used in that
' locality came from New Jersey,
,the creamery butter from Minneso-
ta, the starch from Maine, and the ,
1
bacon principally from Chicago. As
the raw materials of these prodiicts are
all easily grown in Idaho, the colonists
determined to provide the simple in—
dustrial plants required to manufac-
ture the raw material into marketable
form. They added to the. price of their
land ten dollars per acre, and thereby
raised a capital of $50,000, which was
somewhat increased by the sale of busi-
ness property in the .village. This
capital provided a. creamery, cannery,
fruit-evaporator, starch-factory, pork- ‘
packing establishment and cold—stor-
age plant. Taken in connection with
their diversified farms. these. little in-
dustries constituted, in an industrial
sense, a. symmetrical eornmunity. ——

To Capture Wild Horses.
It is stated that in portions of the
antipodes, where wild horses abound,
they are readily captured by a very
simple device. Strips of white cloth
are, strung from tree to tree in suoh
a way as to form three sides of an in-
closure and the band driven into it.
The: cloth proves a. most effective fence,
as the animals will not go near it.—

HE ASKED F072 BUTTERMILK.
And the Weary Waiter Lived Over Again
the Joys of the Farm.
“How’s the buttermilk?” asked the
tired man; and the weary waiter looked
the ennui he felt as he answered:
“Churned fresh evcr‘,‘ hour.”
“Well, now, give me a g ass from the
ast hour, and let her be full.” said the
tired man. Then he unfolded the mid-
night edit-ion. smiling as if memories
haunted him, and never seeing a. line of
all the black type which tried to startle
sated humanity. He was thinking of
buttermilk fresh from the. churn, and
the big, staring headlines were as blank
paper before him. The weary waiter
disturbed his reveries.
“Buttermilk‘s all out. sir
He said the “sir” as one who follows a
vacant form. and meant nothing by it.
“I‘m sorry,” said the tired man, tak-
ing coffee. and sandwich—of course—
and still conjuring up pictures of the
country.
“Great thing when you‘re tired,” said
be. smiling. and looking past. the weary
waiter and the coffee urn. and the blank
wall beyomh “La! I can hear the so ft
chug of the churn dasher yet when the
butter is coming. Get-s lighter then,
and splashes inside. and the yellow
drifts wash down from the hollows in
the lid, and you hit twice half way and
once clear down. and—butters come."
The weary waiter smiled without rt—
leasing his stare at the street, silent in
midnight. darkness.
“And they put the buttermilk down in
the springhouse in a great big jar, and
the water swishes around it. and there's
a board on top, with a stone to keep it-
down. And Sunday morning you curry
the horses and turn them out on the
clover pasture, and dive off“ the bank in
the river and take a. wash, and put on
a clean hickory shirt and your Sunday
clothes, and lay down in the shade of
the. apple tree in the; long, soft grass,
and catch the wind from the woods and
the music of the cow bells far away—
and then you think of the buttermilk.”
“That’s right,” said the weary waiter,
as be rearranged the sugar bowl and
spoon holder.
“And you go down and dip it- np with
a big tin cup, and drink it in great big
swallows, and the other boys come in
and we all sit there and drink and talk
of the tough times we are having, and
chatter about the girls, and josh each
other about going home with them
from meeting, and after while dinner is
ready, and we go in and eat fried
chicken and mashed potatoes, and bis-
cuits and custard pie—"
_ “U—m-in,” said the weary waiter, fer-
vently.
; “And'then again along in the after-
noon,” resumed the tired man, “we get
out there when the sun is down, and we
have another cupful, and the. wrhippoor-
will is booming from some place up in
the clouds, and the katydid is telling of
the frost just six weeks ahead, and the
cattle are standing along the barnyard
fence, with the smell of fresh milk in
the mellow air, and the tin cup has yel-
low flecks all over the sides, and we fill
it again and drink—”
“Or in the harvest field,” said the
weary waiter.
“Yes, when the women folks send it
out in a jug, with aslab of ginger bread
in the long forenoon, and we take great
swallows—”
“And sweat—o”
“And sweat, and buckle down with
the cradle and the rake, and set up a-
shock to shade the buttermilk—”
“And a rain comes up, and we run for
the barn.” The weary waiter stood
erect, and smiled delightedly.
“Ah, yes! Ah, yes! That was life,
after all.” ~
The tired man took his check to the
desk and waited outside for an owl ear
to come along; but all the time he was
thinking of that. mellow nectar. which
minglcs the acids and s'weets of rural
ecstacy, and all the tired insistence of
his journey home could not impress the
city’s hopelessness upon him.—lVas-h-

' ‘Tllll HARRISON GLOW;
N0 Bigger Than a Man’s Hand NOW,
but There’s a Woman In the Case. I;
YOUNG WIFE IS AMBITIOUS,
Lccording to an Indianapolis Dispatch,
Ex-Presldent‘s Bride May Prove a
Factor In Influencing Him to
liIake the Race Again.
INDIANAPOLIS. April 21.—The follow-
ing signifiéant dispatch has beep sent to
the New York World (Dem.) by its special
correspondent here: - '
Here, in the capital of Indiana, they
are saying and hoping that the Harrison
boom. which is now a cloud no bigger
than a man’s hand and just visible at the
horizon, will presently overspread the
whole sky. The politicians all admit that
the chances are vastly in favor of McKin-
ley.
“But McKinley has the field and the
talent against him.” said one of the poll-
ticians, “and we think that if he is not
nominated on . the first ballot he will not
be nominated. Then look out for Harri-
son.’ -
There is no doubt that when Harrison
left the White House he was firmly re-
solved never again to take an active part
in politics. He was worn out, disgusted,
eager for quiet and ~repose. But his
health and his spirits improved rapidly.
The matrimonial idea got into his head.
And there is no such renewer of youth
known to man as the matrimonial idea.
He began to freshen up rapidly. He lost
overeat deal of that coldness and reserve
which had been his most marked characa
teristics. As his wedding day approached
he became positively gay. His friends and
neighbors could hardly believe their eyes
and ears.
But he was as firmly fixed against pub-
lic life as before. He now began to dream
of a life ‘of family happiness with a wife
by his side, a young wife to warm and in-
vigorate his freezing blood with the sun-
shine of her smiles. When he chewed his
letter of farewell to politics to his friends,
they were convinced that he meant it, ev-
ery word. But old 'John C. New only
smiled.
“Wait until the young wife gets to talk-
ing politics to him,” he said.
And he went on to point out that even
if Harrison Wished to b0 the next candi-
date of the Republican party he could not
possibly make a shrewder political move
than to formally and decisively withdraw.
Let the eastern and western factions of
the party rend each the other. Let Me-
Kinley stir up all the other factions into a
united opposition. Harrison was too con-
spicuous to ' be forgotten. His principles
are Well known. He Would have none of
the bitterness against him which is always
aroused by an open canvass for the nomi-
nation.
Significant Change of liIanner.
Within the last twa weeks the politicians
have been trying to get an expression of
opinion from him as to Whether he would
consent to a quiet, underground agitation
for his nomination. He has persisted in
his declination, but he has done it in such
a Way that the politicians are much en-
couraged. They think that the new Mrs.
Harrison has been urging him on to make
her the new mistress of the White House.
It looks as if it were the old story of the
man having his fling and marrying to set«
tle down, only to find that he has planned
for domestic quiet: without taking his wife
into the calculation. The new Mrs. Har-
rison is a strong, clear headed, ambitious
woman. She has married a great man,
and she does not like the idea that his
greatness is all behind him. The Harrison
boomers think she is their strongest ally.
They think that she has about succeeded
in convincing her husband that the White
House is not such an unattractive place
after all. The old man is of course Willing
to please his young wife in any reasonable
way. He feels so much better, so much
younger. And he must know how grate-
ful the new Mrs. Harrison would be to the
man who would make her the first lady of
the land.
The people of Indiana have taken very
kindly to Harrison’s second marriage.
They do not look upon it as an old man’s
folly. Mrs. Harrison is a young woman,
but not young enough or pretty enough to
be looked upon as a frivolous person who
had trapped an old man’s heart and in-
duced him to make a fool of himself.
They think that bot-h Harrison and his
bride have buried their hearts in the grave
and that this marriage Was Only a sensible
arrangement by which both have made
themselves comfortable. They seem not
to reproach Harrison for making a second
marriage. They think that, as he was
practically alone in the world and cut off
from congenial home companionship, he
acted wisely in taking a companion and
that he showed rare wisdom and his wont-
ed practical serious mindedness in his
choosing.
, Looking Forward. '
There is not the slightest disposition in
any quarter to ridicule him, and while
people do not blame the Harrison children
for their resentment on their dead moth.
er’s account neither do they blame Har-
rison. With his usual good fortune Har-
rison has strengthened instead of weaken‘
ed himself by his second marriage. And
now everybody is expecting that he will
be presently encouraging his Indiana
friends to do all they can in a quiet way
to make the new Mrs. Harrison the head
of the social side of the next administra-
tion.
The anti-MdKinley attitude of the In-
diana politicians is due to their very un-
pleasant memory of the way McKinley
acted in the last Republican national con-
vention. Dr. Depow could tell you the
story. There was a caucus of the Harri-
son leaders for consultation as to how to
strengthen the line of battleagainst the
Blaine forces. McKinley ought to have
been there, foremost among the counsel-
ors. Messengers were sent for him again
and again. Each time his answer, sent
from his room in the hotel- Where he had
looked himself in, was, “In a few min-
utes.”
And he did not come. Instead he spent
the afternoon in listening to the reports
of his lieutenants as to the possibility of
stampeding the convention to himself.
There is no better school of machine
politics in the country than the Indiana
school. At its head stands old John C.
New. one of the wiliest men that ever
bossed a machine. The present manage-
ment of. the Harrison boom is a fine illus-
tration of the Indiana method. There is
no doubt that New has always had it in
mind to try to renomi‘ ate Harrison.
And whether Harrison approves or dis-
approves, who that knows anything of wo-
man’s nature can doubt that the little Har-
rison boom has the new Mrs. Harrison’s
blessing if not 'her active assistance?
