Even the Iroquois gave in and learned to eat out of the hand of Sir William Johnson of Johnson Hall; and they made the treaty of Fort Stanwix with the English in 1768, generously giving lands they had never possessed. That was fatal for the Six Nations; for they got so addicted to Great Father George III that they stood by him when the Revolution broke out. That gave to Patriot General Sullivan the chance to march into their own country in 1779, and to break to pieces the only American third power that ever tried to stand neutral between the French and the English. [Illustration: STARVED ROCK _In 1770 this rock became the last refuge of a small band of Illinois Indians flying before a large force of Pottawattomies, who believed that one of the Illinois had assassinated Pontiac, in whose conspiracy the Pottawattomies had taken part. Unable to dislodge the Illinois, the Pottawattomies cut off their escape and let them die of starvation._] SUPPLEMENTARY READING.--“French and English in North America,” Francis Parkman; “History of Canada,” F.

Don’t give too much in a single number. There are four things that I regard essential to the success of your plan. They are: Make your matter simple, make it interesting, be sure that it is correct and authoritative, and last, don’t give too much at a time. The mental fare that you serve to your many readers should be frugal. If not, mental indigestion will follow.” * * * * * We have had that good advice in mind in all of our work. Some of our readers have asked us why we do not exhaust a subject in one number of The Mentor. Our answer is that, in no case, could we exhaust a subject in a single number, and, in most cases we would exhaust the reader. We give as much on any subject as will interest the reader, and as much as he can conveniently retain in mind. * * * * *
