SUPPLIED FOR MANY YEARS'
Philadelphia Man Haa No Nt?d to
Worry About Qattlng a Suitably
Offloo Boy.
"Talk about luck la havluK offlca
boys," said a well known Philadelphia
business mail. "I have bit It great.
Hack In 1887 I took on my brat boy,
and be waa all that could b? desired.
Alter he had been with me for over
three yeara aud began to get neaily a*
tall a? 1 waa, he decided that he
aholud learn a trade. Before he left
he told me he had ft younger brother
who would like to take up the job.
?'If he does an well as you did, he
will do all right,' I said.
"The second brother came, and aft*
er four years' aervlce he decided on u
tndl, Uut before he 1* ft hi! brought
his younger brother, who took up
the work, lie proved aa good ait the
first two, uud then he grew too large
for a a week Job and panned

Well, the fourth brother went to a
trade and two more after htm. 1 be
gan to think that It waa going to be

thing. The boya were all uued up.
There were no more to come. ,
"While 1 was wondering where to
get another good boy, he spoke for
hla nephew. 'Who is your nephew V I
aald. 'John's boy,' said be, It was

From last reports I understand I am
good for a supply of good boys for
the next 25 years."
NO MIRRORS IN ELEVATORS
Reason* for Their Removal In Ptibllo
Buildings and Hotels In
Philadelphia.
Mirrors in Philadelphia nlovators
are doomed Bays a New York World's
correspondent. The order for their
removal from elevators at city hall
went otit recently, and will be follow
ed by similar orders In the leading ho
tels and oftico buildings, notably the
liellevue, Stratford and the Land
Title.
The mirrors are being done away
with as the result of numerous com
plaints made. Conductors in the city
hall elevators assort that nearly overy
girl who rides becomes so engrossed
in "primping" before the silvered
glasses In the elevators that they for
get what floor they want and cause
delay.
In the hotels and office buildings the
conductors of the elevntors, who
are instructed not. to speak to the oc
cupants, utilize the mirrors to flirt
with fair passengers, with the result
that they pass the 'floors' while ogling
the girl. Another reason why the ho
tels will eliminate mirrors is that oc
casionally a passenger from the roof
gardens becomes too boisterous apd
puts his fist through the glass, cutting
his liapd and afterward suing the ho
tel company.
Liquid Air as Motive Power.
Scientists declare fhat as a motive
power for operating automobiles and
tho electric storago air is superior to
tht electric storage battery, since it
requires no tedious waiting for the
process of recharging and it delivers
more than double the power of for
iper, with halt the weight. Gasoline
1b not in the same clasn with liquid
air, for the latter emits no noxious
odors, nor is there any danger of ex
plosions. As a refrigerant there no
source of cold like liquid air. Other
than operating automobiles and serv
ing as a refrigerant there is hardly a
thing the human mind can think of
that liquid air cannot do, from provid
ing a magical entertainment to the
production of continuous power. Yet
thcro is lacking a process by which it
can be produced cheaply enough to
compete with other sources of motive
forceB now in use.
Suicidal Habit of Butterfly.
Considerable Interest attaches to a
migration of butterflies to this coun
try from the continent which recently
took place, remarks the London Stand
ard. The migration in question con
sisted chiefly of the pretty "Clouded
Yellow" and the well-known "Painted
Lady." The extraordinary part of the
story Is this, that none of either spe
cies will ever get through the British
winter. All true Hritlsh butterflies
sleep from October to March, either
as eggs, caterpillars, pupae or butter
flies, but tho Painted Lady and Cloud
ed Yellow perish. It has long been
suggested that they migrate back
again to France, but the necessity of
waiting for a north wind and the fact
that such a wind In October Is In
variably too cold casts some doubt
upon this theory. The Red Admiral
is another victim to suicidal migra
tion.
The lllumlnatl.
The lllumlnatl would be called in
these days "nationalists." or "Free
thinkers," or "Liberals." Founded in
Spain about 1 r?Tr?. the order or sect or
whatever you may choose to call It,
spread over all Europe, becoming es
pecially strong in France and C.er
many. They claimed that truth, and
the proofs of it, were internal, to be
found in the reason and conscience,
rather than in the outer .works of
things, such as creeds, forms and acts.
The rationalism of the lliuminati wag.
as Matthew Arnold would say, "tinged
with emotion," being a combination of
rationalism and mysticism. The op
position of the church was strong, and
tho flrst of the HUwuinati paid tho
usual penalty of being "\r: orthodox."
HENDRIK.
Aa Indian whone lank figure wan
hidden In the padded depths of a lirlt
IhIi tifflotf'i h< <i i )?- 1 uniform, and whose
? o|>i?? r y fare peeped out from behind
the HH-nlutH of a coquettish black veil,
was standing In conference with Co 1.
Kphralm Williams, leader of a body
of Colonial troops. Tho veiled man wan
Hendrlk, one of the foremost chiefs of
the Mohawk nation.
WilKimi With 1,000 soldiers, and
Hcndrik with 200 Mohawk braves, had
been detached from the main body of
the English mllit lumen who had hur
ried north to meet a large party of
Prenob soldiers, Canadians and their
Indian allien who wt*e invading New
York. The detachment learned that a
flanking force of French were ap
proaching.
"Are our numbers sufficient to meet
, them?"aifked Williams,'
"If wo are to fight," retorted Hen
drlk, "we are t o<? few. If we are to
be killed, we are too many,"
The 8avage With ths Veil.
Williams then proposed a plan to di
vldo hia 1,200 men into three detach*
ments for the attack. Hendrlk by way
of aiiHwer picked up three sticks, and
bound them together and strove to
break then). He could not do It, Then,
taking each stick separately, he broke
all three with ease.
" Three sticks tied in a faggot," said
he, "cannot, readily be broken. One by
one they are easy to break. So with
our forces."
It wan by such quaint, commdn sense
phrases that Hendrlk had won
throughout the colonies a high repute
for shrewd wisdom, liy far his chief
claim to greatness lies In the Impor
tant services he was forever render
ing to the English colonies, not only
in the French and Indian war, but
among his own people,
Hendrlk was born in 1680. He was
the Bon of Wolf, a Mohegan chief, and
of a Mohawk princess. As was often
the custom, he became enrolled in his
mothers tribe and later strengthened
his bonds to it by marrying Hunnis,
the beautlfnul daughter of a Mohawk
chieftain. His bravery and wisdom
soon raised Ilendrik high in the coun
cils of the "Six Nations." , He was
from the first a loyal friend to the Eng
lish colonists. To his efforts largely
was due the celebrated treaty of 1754
between the Six'Natlons and the Eng
lish.
It was a, dangerous period for the
British colonies in North America, for
Franco was planning, to sweep thoso
colonies from the face of the earth
and to claim the whole North Ameri
can continent as a huge French prov
ince. In Canada and in the west the
French were all-powerful. They had
made allies of many strong Indian
tribes, and wore trying to lure to their
standard tho "Six Nations." Had they
succeeded in doing this New York and
other colonies would probably have
been overrun by local hostllo Indians
as well as threatened from north and
west by the French Invaders. It
was a perilous monVont, and Hendrlk,
by his stanch loyalty., helped 'to turn
the scales In the colonies' favor.
lie even raised hundreds of savage
warriors and took part in the battle of
I^ake George against Baron Dleskau's
invading horse of French and In
dians. It was during this? his last ?
campaign that he gave his celebrated
advlco to Col. Williams? wise coun
sel which the colonel leader unfortu
nately had not the wit to follow.
Hendrlk formed a lifelong friendship
with Sir William Johnson, who was
superintendent of Indian affairs. John
son understood Indian character as did
few white men. So when he appeared
once in a gorgeously embroidered suit
he was not surprised to hear Hendrlk
say: ? ?
"I dreamed, Sir William, (hat you
gave in e that suit as a present."
Johnson (knowing the significance
of dreams and visions among the sav
ages, and realizing ho was being trick
ed) obediently took off the gorgeous
suit and turned it over to Uendrik.
Next. day Sir William sought out Hen
drik and said: "I>ast night I dreamed
you gave me a deed for such-and-such a
tract of land."
A Contiest In "Visions."
Uendrik, taken aback, but equally
well understanding the trick, grunted
sullenly in reply:
"The land shall be yours. Hut I will
never have another dreaming contest
with you!"
Yet the incident did not sever the
friendship with Sir William. Through
the French and Indian V'ar lie fought
at Johnson's ~1:!e and did valiant deeds
in behalf of his white brethren. lie
wore a Mritish officer's uniform and,
for some unknown reason, always
went. into battle with a veil on his
face. In the expedition on which
IJendrik and Williams led the detach
ment of 1.200 men and during which
Williams refused to listen to the
chief's sage advice, their camp was
pitched for a time near Fort (?eorge,
N. V The two leaders with a small
body of men went out September 8,
1 7.r>5, on a reeonnoitering trip to Rocky
Urook, about four inilns from their en
campment. They were ambushed there
by a larger force of Frenchmen. Fifty
of their followers were killed ' or
wounded. Uendrik and Williams both
died in that battle, lighting desperate
ly to the end.
The aged chief's death was amply
avenged by his Mohawks, and there
was bitter mourning among tho Bi*
Nations for the fall of their mopt re
nowned warrior.
