THAT KN1FE.-Yes, we know Ira
Jones is the boss hardware man OF
Southern Minnesota. Although he car.
ries an immense stock purchased from
the largest houses Of the east, yet this
does not fill the bill. Even the trees
yield up their hardware. We have a
knife. about twelve inches in length,
which he loaned 10 us, found in the centre
Of Eastwood tree, which was split at
his door for flrewood. The tee WAS
about foot in diameter. The knife lay
hidden in its very heart. 1t is butcher
knife, with deers-horn han die, but very lit

ton. The wood next to the knife was a
little colorcd. Friend Michael Teeter
drew the wood from his wood lot in Lyle
township, about ~ miles south Of Austin,
where he used to live some twenty years
ago. He says about ,lrat time there was
an Indian encampment on this land, near
the river, and no doubt this knife was
left IN this tree which was then sapling.
If this knife could tell us it's history it
might be very interesting.

SUDDEN DEATH Friday, about II
O'Clock, am. Mrs. Sallie Kelly, mother of
Mrs. W. T. Wilkins Of this city, died in
most sudden and unexpected manner.
She was out walking in the door-yard,
and coming TO the door, said to her daugh
ter, Mrs. Hayward, who is also member
Of the family, II came near fainting
away" and with mnch difficulty the
daughters succeeded IN getting he- ;n,o
the house. Assistance from near neigh
Dor was immediately summoned, who
went for a physician and for Mr.. Wilkins.
But, in less than half hour, she had
ceased to breathe. Mrs. Kelly WAS eigh.
ty-seven years Of age, and until recently
in unusually good health for person at
her advanced age.
Sallie Andrus Wall Kelly was born
Nov. 21st, 1894, in Windsor, Mass. When
u child her parents moved 10 Walling'
ford, VT, where she lived until married
to Hezekiah Wall, IN The year 1912. In
1914 they moved to Cbatauqua county,
N. Y. Mr.. Wall died in 1912 In 1850
abe was married to Bella Kelly, who died
in 1862. Mrs. Kelly came west in 1864,
TO make her home with Mrs. Wilkins,
who then resided in Preston, aud in 1869
came with the family Of Mr.. Wilkins to
Austin. She was the mother of nine chill.
dren, all born to her by her first husband.
Seven of them, five sous and two daugh.
ters, survive her. They are DR.. L. Wall
of Preston, N. J. Wall of Spring Valley,
Andrus and Frank Wall of VI adison, Wis. .,
Milford Wall of Dunklrk, NY. and Mrs.
Wilkins and Mrs. Hayward of Austin.
She was q conscientious, energetic
woman, coming from lopg.iived lineage;
was Of a loving, even disposition, and her
good will was toward all m mankind. The
memories Of her early life were often
drawn out by those about her. and were,
at al! times, full Of nterest-memories Of
the war Of 1919, and many other precious
incidents Of the past, which will now be
more dearly cherished than ever.
And so We write the record of this
mothers life and death. Her life went
out as the faint Pickering Of spent can
die. She has only gone home to hosts Of
dearly beloved friends, who have been
waiting to welcome her scores of years.
Gone to meet the husband of her youth,
the dear frien ds Of her childhood. Her
loving tones will linger In our memory !;
We call, but mother will not answer. She
is not here. Nearly four score years and
ten she bore life's burdens and cares, but
DOW she rests, and is fOreverm0re fire. e
from all the infirmities Of age, all earlh's
wear mess. and has entered upon a life Of
eternal youth. God help Us TO live our
lives as we'll.
