she was old PowLatan'o daughter, and
she faved Captain Smith's life when
he was captnred by the Indians."
"Not so fast, Master Ned," said a
voice behind them, and Aunt Marion
came into the circle around the fire
light." "O, Annt Marion," clamored all the
children, "tell us a story."
"Very well. I will tell yon about
Ibis Bfirue Porahontas, abont whom
Mabel knows nothing, and Ned noth
ing definitely.
"Pocahontas was an Indian girl.
Now, we sneak of all red men as 'In
dians,' but the Indian race is divided
ito m my tribes, by reason of blood
relationships and difference in dialects.
Pocahontas belonged to one of the
largest divisions, the Algonquin
tribe.
"At the time of Captain John Smith's
episode with Pocahontas certain of
Ihese Algonqnin tribes of Virginia,
were joined together in a sort of In
dian republic, composed of thirty
tribes, scattered through central and
eastern Virginia, and known to their
neighbors as the Confederacy of the
l'owbatans.
This name was taken from the tribe
that was strongest aud most energetio
in this tribal nnion and that had its
villages along t'.ie broad river known
to Indians as the Powhatan, and to us
aa the James.
"The principal chief of the Powha
tans was Wabunsonncook, called by the
white men Powhatan.
"He lived iu the Powhatan village
of Wero-Wocomoco, and into this
village came an Indian runner one day
th important news.
"As he came in his headlong race
down between the two rows of bark
houses in hich the Indians lived, he
saw around the many camp fires built
between the rows of houses groups of
Indians lolling, and between the fires
Indian children turning somersaults.
"On he went, dodging past them
until at last by one of the fires he saw
HttiDg the chief Wabunsonacook. It
was to him that the me' sage was to be
delivered, but before Rabnota, the run
ner, could ftop in his wild tight, one
of the youthful gymnasts came whirl
ing down the path toward him in a suc
cession of dizzy handsprings.
"There was a sudden collision. The
stoat little feet of the tumbler came
plump against Rabuata's breast, and so
unexpected was the shock that runner
and gymnast tumbled over together in
writhing heap on the edge of the tire.
"There was a great bnrat of laughter
aa the Indians shou'ed: 'Twa, wa,
Babnnta! Knocked over by a girl."
"Babnnra, picking himself up, dis
covered it was Mataoka, the daughier
of the old chief, who had collided with
him.
"And the old chief said, half-sternly,
half-teoderly, 'My daughter you have
well-nigh killed our brother, K ibunta,
with your foolery. That is scarce girl's
play. Why will you be such a Poca
hontas?' "This is the Algonquin term for a
little 'tom-boy.
"But Mataoka, then a ten-year-old
maid, laughed and nimbly dodged out
of reach of both her lather and Ra
bunta. "Then Rabnnta delivered his mes
sage. Capt. John Smith had been cap
tnred and was even then being brought
to the council house.
"This indeed was important news,
and preparations were at once made to
receive him when be arrived. He was
greeted with the cistomary Indian yell,
and then a bountiful feast was spread
before him.
"The Indians seldom killed prison
ers and this pale-fnced wawior was too
important a personage to be other than
well treated.
'Wabunsonacook, the old chief, re
ceived him as an honored guest, kept
him in his own bonne and adopted him
as his own son. After two days he re
turned him, well escorted by Indian
guides, back to the English colony at
Jamestown.
"Smith's own wordsare: 'Hee kindly
welcomed me with good wordes, as
suring me his friendship and my liber
ties "This rather destroys the old famil
iar romance which Ned quoted abont
the captaiu being saved by 'the
a'nfi 0 ,
own daughter,' bnt it is the only true
version of the siory, based on Smith's
own report.
"But nit 1 oughshodid not rescue him,
nevertheless his attention was drawn
to this agile, clever little Mctaoka,
whom her father called his 'tomboy' or
Poo thuntas
"Smith made much of her, gave her
some trifling presents and asked her
name.
"Now it was one of the singular ena
t m of the American Indians never to
teil their own names or allow them to
be spoken o t rangers. The reason
for this luy in tjo superstition which
held that the speaking of one's real name
gave to the stranger to "whom it was
spoken a magical and harmful influence
over the person.
"So when Smith asked the old chief
known to the colonis's by the name
of his tril e, Powhatan, rather than his
own name, Nabunsonacook for this
very reason he hesita'ed and then gave
in reply the nickimmc by wLich he so
often called her. Pocahuntas the 'lit
tle tomboy.'
"Thus it is that you have always
neard of Pocahontas, instead of Matao
ka, and of Powhatan instead of Wabun
sonacook.
"Well, Prcalioilas and Capt. Smith
became good friends, and this friend
ship stood in good stead in the days to '
come. I
"Mataoka used to go often to James-'
town, and I'm afraid she fully deserved
her t.et namo vt 'Litile Tombov,' for
e are told by one Master William
Stracley, sen f tary of the colony, that
the 'before reiBauibered Pocahontas,
Powhatan's daughter, did sometimes
resort to oar Sort, of the age then of 11
or 12 years, did pet the bojes forth
nith her into, the market-place, and
make them wheel e. falling on their
hands, .turning their heeles npward,
wbome she would followe and wheel
so herself ail the fort oyer.' From
which it wonld appear she could
easily 'stunt' the English boys at mak
ing 'cart-wheels.'
"But there came a time very soon
when she came into Jamestown for
other purposes than turning somer
saults. "The Indians had learned to distrust
the white men, and 1 daresay they had
good cause.
"Discontent grew into hatred, and
at last a plot was arranged to kill the
'great captain' and destroy the colony.
' Three times they attempted to en
trap him and his people, but each time
the little Mataoka, full of friendship
and pity for Lira, found means of warn
ing her white friends of their danger.
"Of one of these warnings there is
an old record that tells how, as
Smith est in the York River woods one
night, where he had come for confer
ence with the old chief, and where he
was then awaiting provisions promised
by the Indians, there came a light step
on the dry twigs, and a slender figure
glided out from the shadow into the
light of the camp fire into the midst of
the men, who recognized in her the
Indian maid, Pocahontas.
" 'Be guarded, my father,' she sai.1
to Smith. The corn and provisions
will come as promised, but even now
my father, the chief of the Powhatans, .
is Ratberinjr all bis power to fall upon
and kill you. If you would live, get
you hence at once.
"The gratefnl captain thanked her
and pressed a pocket compass into her
hand.
" 'My daughter,' he said, 'you have
again saved my life, coming alone and
at ribk of your own life through ths
irksome woods and in this gloomy
nigni to aamonisn me. lase tais iiota
me and let it always tell you of the
love of Capt. Smith.'
"But, much as she desired this won

back.

at once.
" 'And with that,' Bays the record,
'she ran away by herself, as she had
come.'
"Soon after Smith left the colony,
worn oat by the continual disputes,
and Mataoka went no more to James
town, deeming it unsafe in the absence
of her best friend.
"She seems to have been wise in her
fear, for in 161 J, she being abont 16,
she was captnred by the bold and un
scrnpnlons Cupt. Aneall and held as a
hostage for the friendship of Powhatan.
"She had I eon married three yean

purpose of converting her to Christi
anity, and ungallantly calls her 'an un
believing creature."
"Well, they lived happily together
and finally went to England. Here,
all too soon, when she was bnt 21, the
daughter of the great chieftain of the
Powhatans died.
"Her story is both sad and pleasant,
and is romantic enough without any of
the additional romance that has)been
thrown around it, that Ned bar
learned.
"Ihe white race has nothing to be
proud of in its conquest of the Indians.
Bnt ont of the gloom which surrounds
it there come some figures to relieve
the darkness, wreichedness and crimr
that makes it so black.
"And not the least impressive of
these is the bright, gentle, feaWess lit

of the Powhatans, Mataoka, whom we
of this later day know by the nicknama
her loving old father gave her Poca

Kind Sir:- I had been trouble! for
yes.rs with that terrible disease Rneuma-
' lism and last Spring, a year ago, I wa
tonfined to my bed and could icarctly mot
tr ttir. Could not beat to have any one
walk across the room or mike any noiso
of any kind. Was also troubled with
Female Weakness and was completely
uted vp. I had doctored with the best
Physicians I could get, but grew worse
til tbe time. Having read of your Rem
edies I at last made up my mind to try
I them. I had very little faith for I
thought, perhaps, they were no better
than lots of others that I bad used before
without any benefit. But thaoks be to
God and also to you, I tried them and
found it to my benefit. I only took two
oltle of your Swamp-Hoot and one of
Female Remedy and used one bottle of
tour U. A O. Anointment and was com.
j fUtefy cured.
I It is now over one year since I was
troubled and yet I have not felt a single
. touch or return of the old complaints.
t think I was better before I bad taken
t one-half of the first bottle. I now believe
ind have more faith in you than any
ether doctor on earth.
' If this will be of any benefit to vou ox
stbera, you can publish it and if need be

causes of the disorder. And yet It Is a ery

Sometimes It occurs as a dull pain In the fore

as a feeling of cenera

TFotmc? up
the man or woman who's "run
down." Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery sets the wheels goin g.
It starts the torpid liver into health
ful action, purifies and enriches ths
blood, cleanses, repairs, and strength
ens the system, and restores health
and vigor. As an appetizing, re
storative tonic, it sets at work all
the processes of digestion and nu
trition, and builds up flesh and
strength.
For all scrofulous humors and
blood -taints, and even Consump
tion (or Lung -scrofula), if taken
in time, it's a positive remedy.
Unlike the earsaparillas, which
claim to be good for the blood in
March, April, and May, "Golden
Medical Discovery" works equally
well at all seasons.
Unlike other blood-purifiers, too,
it's guaranteed to benefit or cure,
in every case, or your money is re
turned. On these terms, it's the cheapest.
You pay only for the good you get.
But it's the lest or it couldn't be
