THE CANOE OF BIRCH. 
(Continued from page io.) 
ment surmounted by a finely moulded fig¬ 
ure of an Indian, but this statue symbolizes 
one of Cooper’s characters. Hiawatha no 
doubt had passed by that spot many times. 
Well might it exemplify him. In the same 
town there is a tablet on an Indian mound 
whose ihscription tells the pathetic story of 
the mound it marks: 
“White Man, Greeting! 
We near whose bones you stand 
Were Iroquois. The Land 
Which now is yours was ours. 
Friendly hands have given back 
To us enough for a tomb.” 
T HIS may be getting off the subject of 
canoes and yet not far. When Cham¬ 
plain, along in 1609-13 was doing 
some of his great exploration work, he 
found a deadly enmity existing between 
the Algonquins, with whom his lot was 
thrown, and the Iroquois. In fact, the 
latter were a scourge to the Canadian 
tribes of every name, and for years had 
been putting the fear of the Lord into 
them. Hurons, Ottawas, Nippissings, Neu¬ 
trals—anything in the Algonquin directory 
was fair prey. The Neutrals, it may be 
not amiss to add, were about the first to 
be knocked under. 
That was when the bark canoe reached 
its highest development, for the Iroquois 
built them in great quantities to chase the 
Algonquins, and the poor Algonquins were 
no less busy in putting them together to 
escape. 
Now that same enmity, starting with the 
display of over-lordship when the Iroquois, 
united into one nation, quit fighting among 
themselves and went after the mollycoddles 
of the north, had a most important devel¬ 
opment. The Iroquois “thin red line” 
stretching across New York state, reso¬ 
lutely barred French aggression, preserved 
the English colonies, and made possible 
the passing of New France into the hands 
of the English. 
That, all historians agree, made possible 
the American Revolution, and the estab¬ 
lishment of our own Republic. So you see 
we owe a monument to Hiawatha, and it 
ought to show him in connection with a 
canoe.
