The Bessie Tift Girl—

Makes the right kind of woman.

She learns to think for herself; she is educated, not merely told things. She is an individual member of the college family, not merely "Freshman No. 49."

She learns something besides her books-to be a good housewife, for instance. And she'll be healthier in her last year than in her first.

A post card will bring a catalog and a letter from Forsyth, Ga.

Give Your Boy an Automobile Education

It will be worth more to him than if you placed a thousand dollars to his credit in the bank-he might squander the money, but he cannot lose his education as an automobile expert. We have young men yet in their teens, earning as high as $150.00 a month. We can teach the automobile business. in your own home, in 12 weeks. Under our plan we furnish each student with a small model of an automobile, and we employ all our students the day they enroll. Part of the cost to learn is not payable until we place our graduates in positions. Get your boy started right in life by giving him a trade that will pay a high salary and insure his always having an income. Write for our descriptive plan No. 100 and copies of letters from graduates now employed.

The Story of the South and West

(Copyright by Thos. E. Watson, 1911.)

CHAPTER VIII.

OW, Quint, tell us about als? How did they hold property?
the Injuns."
How did they settle disputes and
punish crimes?

In that jocose tone President Cleveland used to address L. Q. C. Lamar, Secretary of the Interior, during Cleveland's first-and creditable-administration. (Our readers may not need to be reminded that the affairs of the Red Men, in the territories and on the reservations, at that time almost monopolized the attention of the Department of the Interior. The other department ranked the Interior, and Lamar was the last to be called on for his report.)

What "Quint" Lamar may have had to say to Cleveland's cabinet about the Cherokees, the Choctaws, the Sioux and the Apaches who survive the encroachments of the great white race, we do not know; but it occurs to me that the "Story of the South and West" will be incomplete if I do not tell you "about the Injuns.'

At present, we will consider none but those of Virginia. How did they live? How did they govern themselves? What were their manners, customs, beliefs? What was their position in the human family? What was the "standard of honor?" What was their code of mor

Mr. Jefferson tells us in his Notes on Virginia, that the Powhatan Confederacy, south of the Potomac, contained 8,000 square miles, 30 tribes and 2,400 warriors, the whole population being estimated at 8,000. As these are the Indians who immediately concern us, to them we will confine our attention.

The Emperor, whose official title was Powhatan, was eighty years old, at the time Jamestown was built by the whites, but he was still in possession of great physical and mental powers. What surprises one is, that he did not exterminate the English when he had them in his power. From the first, he appeared to anticipate the progress of events, for he repeatedly asked the whites when they meant to go away. From the permanent character of their buildings, he must have known that the English had come to stay. Yet this powerful and long-headed ruler of the Red Men not only let pass the opportunities for slaughtering the strange intruders upon his domain, but he saved their lives, again and again, by feeding them in timeof famine.
