I revelled in the most exquisite roses during all of our stay in Eustis, our hostess keeping our room filled with tie choicest varieties, s<> marvelous in color, so rich in perfume, as to almost intoxicate us with their beauty. V here Winter Strawberries Grow. March 15th we took the train for Ocala. the next day reached Lawle, a quiet little town settled by northern ers devoted to strawberry culture. Here we spent a week driving, walking, sit -ing on the broad piazza of the hotel in the sun, getting tanned and fat. Nothing here is cultivated but acres and acres of strawberries, little tiny plants; but raise the leaves and you car pick nearly a quart from one vine. The number cf 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 nine wood, and it was very 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 motking birds were singing, calling and answering each other day and night. Returning to Jacksonville we devoted the few hours we had to visiting tha shops and the Exposition building. Here in the Alligator Pool we saw anumbei of the uncanny looking beasts, the largest of which was ten feet long, son utterly hideous and ugly that be was most fas cinating to me. Our next stop was at Savannah, where we drove all over the Qity 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. Great Natural Arches. 1 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 hear . The magnolias seen the favorite .r 2e, and they grow to a 'eat height. 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 tripj 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 souirrels 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. PEJICE WHO LIKES HORSES. Brother of Heir to German Crown a Rough Rider. Eltel Frederick, prince of Prussia, and younger brother of the crown prince of Germany, is considered one of the finest horeemen of Europe.

It is told of this boy that he cannol go into the royal stables without every horse in the stalls turning his head1 and whinnying a glad welcome.

GREAT CHIEF JOSEPHS 4 NOBLE AND BELOVED AMERI CAN INDIAN WHO DIED OF A WOUNDED HEART. Pathetic Tale of Government's Bro ken Promises.-His Ancestors Wel comed Lewis and Clark in Theii Western Explorations. C. J. BLasCUARD. The most picturesque character o he western frontier passed away las ear when Chief Joseph of the Ne: Perces, or, as they knew him, In-mut :oo-yah-lat-lat (Thunder traveling ove: lhe mountains), folded his blanke bout him and passed beyond the Grea Divide. The members of his tribe ll of whom were singularly devote< ,o him, and the privileged few of thi hite race who knew him intimately elieve that this great leader, perhapi :he greatest Indian leader of the period, died of homesickness and heart iche. 0 To know Chief Josepa was to hav revealed to you a glimpse into a van ished past. There was a loftiness an< ignity mingled with a charminl aaivet6 in his manner, and a tende athos in his speech, that made yoi rorget the Indian and recall the o1 Hebrew prophets of the days of th ,aptivity. ~'v [.M. As he hie en ira-o i ribe, Joseph's plea for the Nes Percel tas often been heard in WashingtOn. n its deep sense of eternal righteous. Less and of the deadly wrong suffered , the hands of the white man; in ts smothered fire and in its hopeful nging for the coming of justice and etter times for the tribe, it was the most powerful sand pathetic appeal ever lade by an Indian. From the viewpoint of close asso F lation with the red man, his faults .re. magnifed and his virtues forgot' en. From the viewpoint of the reader f Cooper and other, romantic writers n Indian topics, his vices are obscured, nd his virtues unduly exaggerated. udged from the impartial standpoint f a rather long acquaintance, which ontains meetings In camp a-ad city, . the writer's opinion, Chief Joseph ra~s the finest type of the red man his country will ever know. He died of homesickness, and that tatement will provoke no sceptical mile'fromi one who knows the Indian haracter. The earth that contains e ashes of an Indian's dead is sacred .nd hallowed. The longing in an In Lian's heart for the land of his birth s as strong as that which turns onr randering flootsteps back to the old Lome.

Loved Home of the Tribe. I recall one expression of Joseph's this connection. "My father ia >u'ried i Wallowa Valley. I love that and more than all the rest of the world L man who would not love his father's rave is worse than a wild animal." Have you ever been in Wallowa. thai ~eautiful valley of Winding Watersl t is America's Switzerland. Its ofty mountains rear their heads sc rh that a snow mantle rests there 1 the year round. Their feet are in akes which rival Luzerne. Down the teep slopes, through narrow walled anyons which the sunlight never en ers, the streams come rushing like taracts. In their cold ripples thE amey trout lurks expectant eager t< dve battle for his life when the anglel empts him to the hook. In the autumn he salmon, in countless numbers. lear he waterfalls, and are caught and ned by the Indians for winter food )n the forested slopes, in shadowy vines. and over the rollineg hills, thE leer and elk. the caribou, the grizzly ain sheep abound. It is 2. game para- R dise, with rich pastures for ponies. I It was in this valley that the grand- ne father of Chief Joseph welcomed the th daring explorers, Lewis and Clark. ax Speaking of them, Joseph said: "They w, talked straight, and our people made lei them a great feast. All the Nez Perces fa made friends with Lewis and Clark, ph and agreed to let them pass tnrough ex the country, and never to make war on to: white men. And this promise the Nez pe Perces have never broken. No white of man can accuse them of bad faith, and in speak with a straight torgue. It has so always been the pride of the Nez Perces to that they were the friends of the white men." ev Encroachments of the White Men. w1 It was not to be expected that the of Indian would be allowed t: remain for- C ever unmolested in the possession of this beautiful valled. 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 1SG3, another council was held. A chief, named Lawyer, with authority of a ;.art of the tribe, sold nearly all 3 of the Nez Perces 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 w disputed. The old chief -.aid: "Inside is the home of my people-the white tb man may take the land outside. In- to side the boundary, all our people were 1to born. It circles around the graves of gt our fathers, and we never give up their cj graves to any man." - in In spite of the treaty, the Indians re- e( mained in unmolested possession for m eight years, when the white men began tc to encroach upon the bot.ndaries. The hi conditions threatened to become se- w rious, and the Government asked for Pi a treaty council. Joseph. owing to his tl father's age and blindnei s, represented P1 his people. He refused to remove to 1 the Lapwal agency in Idaho and give F up the valley, so the council came to naught. From that time on, the white settlers ;ave.constant offense to the Indians. They stole their horses, drove off t their cattle and branded the calves, and w then -claimed them. It speaks well for to 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 R r. th i IIM IIIII I tb th or P, * bi -1th .to N sc ~ - ~kAer is ril _____th ba UNVEILED BY WAWO1R3 F I!S TUBLP th IS be to the reservation, as they had sold their land to the Government. , Jncontrovertible Jadian Logic. cal Joseph always denied such a sale.

One of the first cable pictorial de riptions of the useful war automobile, shown in the illustration, has just me to hand. This is a special farm 's type. It can be constructed in any iall power, for jogging along pur ses, from 30 to 120 horse. A special ture of interest to market gardners the ability of the wagon to run bor enty minutes after having the tires dled with bullets, which makes it aroughly practical. It is entirely mbproot when beyond the range of a enemy's guns.

"On the top the rear portion of the box" the icifications read, "is a turret from .Ih projiects a Hotchkiss gun which a be trained in any direction"--upon npeting market gardners."

In the war which followed, Joseph led his little band, as only a great gen eral could lead them, but; the Nez Perces never had a chance to win. Joseph surrendered to General Miles, and for years the tribe was moved back and forth over the country regardless of promises made when they 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 say they are my friends, and that I shall have justice. but while their mouths all talk right, I do not understand why nothing is done for my people. I have heard talk and 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 all the good words and all the broken promises. You might as well expect the river to run back ward, as that any man who was born free should be contented, when penned up and denied liberty, to go where' he pleases. Pathetic Plea for Freedom. "Oh let me be a free man! free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where I chose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself-and I will obey every law or submit to the pen alty." Gradually as the years passed away, Joseph grew to understand the hope lessness of achieving his heart's desire -a return to Wallowa, though he never ceased to make his plea for justice. When the end came a year ago, he was surrounded by the remnant of his band, who stood beside his deathbed in silent grief. On the 20th of September last, these same devoted members of the tribe stood around the grave of Joseph and listened to the funeral address deliv ered by his successor and friend. On this occasion a monument was unveiled -a most unusual Indian ceremony.
