Chief Logan’s Oration
Is Cited as a Classic
Chief Logan's original Dame was
Tshgab-Jute and be was born about
1725 near Auburn, N. Y.; the boy
was renamed for James Logan, sec-
retary of Pennsylvania under Wil-
liam Penn. As a chief he became
known for his friendship with the |
whites In J<74, while Logan was J
away hunting, all of his family j
were massacred by a party of white '
men, and this led him to Instigate a
war of revenge In the Ohio country.
Lord Dunmore, governor of Vlrb|
glnla, in.vited, the chiefs to a peace I
conference, to which Logan refused ,
to go. He made his famous speech j
to Dunmore's messenger under an
elm tree, near Clrclevllle, as fol J
lows:
“I appenl to any white man to
say if ever he entered Logan's cabin i
hungry and I gave him not meat; If
ever )ie came cold or naked and I|
gave him not clothing. During the
course of the last long and bloody !
war Logan remained tn his tent an
advocate for peace. Nay, such was j
my love for the whites that those
of my own country pointed at me'
as they passed by and said, 'Logan :
is the friend of white men.’, I had j
even thought to live with yon but
for the Injuries of one man. Colonel j
Cresnp the last spring, in cold blood, 1
and unprovoked, cut off all the rela-
tives of Logan, not sparing even my ■
wife and children. There runs not |
a drop of my blood in the veins of
any human creature. This called
on me for revenge. I have sought
1L I have killed many, l.have fully
glutted my vengeance, For my
country, I rejoice at the beams of
peace. Yet, do not harbor the
thought that mine Is the Joy of fear.
Logan never felt fear. He will not
turn on his heel to save his life.
Who Is there to mourn for Logan?
Not one.”

Strange Temple Has Eyes
Called ‘‘The Eyes of God”
The independent kingdom of Ne-
pal, Just north of India, is one of
the most curious and hard to-get-to
regions of the world. It Is high
up on the roof of the world, with
Mount Everest and the other Hima-
layan pinnacles towering still high-
er.
The people of those parts of the
world take their religion seriously
and tiiey are willing to make any
sacrifices for it At the city of
Bodh-Nnth there is a very strange
temple which has in the steeple two
gigantic eyes, which are called “the
eyes of God.”
Hordes of pilgrims come to this
place—many of them from India.
.TJiese pilgrims, Ifcave everything be-
hind them (which isn’t much)'and'j
travel afoot great distances. They j
suffer terrific hardships. They live :
on next to nothing, and their very
scanty cotton clothes are no pro- :
tection against the extremely cold
climate. -. ’
Tier after tier of temples ri§e on
one another. Images of gods and
goddesses, saints and heroes, de-
mons and serpents, rats and liz-
ards, birds and legendary creatures
—many of them of enormous size-1-'
rise everywhere, like the trees in
a forest. The pilgrims make these I
Journeys in fulfillment of their re- •
llgious vows and are then ready
to face death with calm resignation.

June Wedding,
June weddings are “good to the
man and happy to the maid" ac-
cording to the old saying. The be-
lief comes from a Roman supersti-
tion arising from the fact that in
June was held a great festival In
honor of Juno, QueeD of Heaven.
Juno was the special guardian of
women. She watched over them
at their birth, their marriage,\ and
throughout the rest of their life. T.o
be married during the month lit
which her festival was held was be-
lieved to attract her special favor,
and so Insure the perpetual happi-
ness of the bride and her husband

'T'UEY were companions, and
A they spoke to each other; each
In the fashion; from their sepa-
rate cages. One was a trusty In a
penitentiary, and the other was a
golden canary. The lilting song of
the bird and the crisp whistle of
the man exchanged daily greetings
across the straggling space that
separated them.
This was one of the first days of
spring. » "
Number 991 pressed his cheek-
bones against the bars of his open
window. Even the metal felt less
cold and unyielding than usual.
Zephyrs stirred his sandy balr
which had become much thinner
during the ten years of incarcera-
tion. Tills morning out of the ruts
of resignation which had claimed
his spirit from the first rose a con-
suming desire for the far fields of
freedom and the nomad life that
had once been his.
Eyes bent on his little chum whose
cage hung in another open window
over the way this wondrous April
day, Number 991 Indulged his whim:
slcallty of guarded conversation:
"Can we stick another winter here,
little one?" he whispered.
I^ejlea of song trilled over to him
as if in direct answer.
"Meaning 'Cheerio’ and 'Carry
on’ and all the rest of the uplift
stuff,'’ "Number 991 muttered with
a wry mouth.
About to turn away from the win-
dow, his gaze—which had been riv-
eted on the cage—was caught by the
sight of a child scrambling onto a
chair which stood beneath It The
child was small and had trouble
making the grade; but finally stood
on the chair and commenced fussing
with the tiny door of the bird's
prison. At once a woman appeared
on the scene, removed the child
with apparent scoldings and pushing
the chair away.
The significance of this ordinary
Incident flooded the man’s mind
with the conviction that some day
the child would succeed with its
mischief and his little companion
would escape to those far fields of
freedom that nagged their hearts
perpetually.
Tlrus the idea of escape was born
In Number 991 on this day of lovely
promise which had suddenly new
meaning to him. Amazed, and some-
what bewildered, he for the first
time''realized how many oportuni-
ties he had missed; wrapped as he
had been derring the years In the
dull Inertia of confinement and
prison shop labor. The Check-up of
tools was often lax. It would be
simple to confiscate and conceal
files, and oil. Nights were long Id
which to softly sever his bars,
lie felt that escape for the little
pal was destined. Why not for
him, too?
The chance to secure tools came
soon and Number 991 became a dif-
ferent man. lie stepped out of the
prison rut of resignation into the
province of love of life. A thou-
sand sleepless nights had taught
him where the night guard of his
cell-block would be at any given
moment. No detail of secrecy elud-
ed him. Night by night the four
tittle rifts in two of his bars grew
Imperceptibly deeper.
Intimacy, also, progressed be-
tween the bird and the man. Never
a morning that they did not'ex-
change buoyancies:
“How you coming, friend?” Car-
rolled over.
'. "Fine! How 'bout you, little
one?" Whistled back.
The morning came when all but
the last few strokes of the file had
been taken, A few more deft mo-
ments’ work would spell separation
of the steel and—escape I Watching
the bird across the way, the man’s
body stiffened suddenly and his
cheekbones pressed the bars so
closely that he feared they might
give way.
The child was dragging the chair
Under the canary’s cage again. To-
day 1 The child climbed on the chair;
fussed with the cage door, and
opened It. The golden bird winged
swift flight through the open win-
dow, and downward, beyond the
man’s impetuous gaze that' strove to
follow.
Number 991’s Joy mounted to the
peak of elation. The little pal was
free to travel the far fields—travel
With him—to indulge fantasy.
Number 991 remained long at the
window planning his own escape
for that very night He dreamed ns
he sniffed the blossom-scented air
hungrily. Then he noticed the lit
tie hoy; shoulder drooped In pen!
tence; going out of the house oppo-
site and disappear around the cor
ner. v. ' . •
But why did the child return run- j|
ning followed closely by a sleek
black cat, and carrying something !
In small, cupped hands as he:
screanftd for his mother. Number]
991’s eyes strained to see! They j
caught a glimpse of a lifeless little j
blob of yellow from which the.
feathers drooped awry.
Number 991 turned away from his ■
nearly severed bars, despair In thej
deep lines of his sagging face. With i
a watchful look everywhere first, he
flung the tiny files through his bars.,
and they disappeared in the tall
grass of prison acre* just as the
morning shop bell clanged through
the corridors. Far fields indeed!
