ACCORDING to the Globe-Demo-
crat, the price of pork last Monday
was 4 IL cents. Prices before the
war did not vary much either
above or below that figure in this
part Of the country, and there was
suffici ent inducement to persuade
one Cherokee to risk his call" in
the pork-packing business.

GEORGE w. JENKs, Of the land
department at Washington, will
soon be in Kansas for the purpose
of paving the way for the investi-
cation of long pending claims for
depredations done by, Indians.
Those claims run back to 1873.
Congress last winter appropriated
$4,000 to be expended in having
lists prepared of those claims,
whether appended or pending. 1t
is provided that the lists shall in
clude the name and address of the
claimants, the date of the alleged
depredations, by what tribe COM
mitted, the date Of examinations
and approval, with references to
the clause Of the teaty under
which the responsibility for the
loss can be fastened upon the tribe.
The secretary is empowered to
take testimony and pursue the
investigations in such manner as
he deems proper to arrive at just
estimates Of the losses sustained.

are probably also to be credited with some- what of her charitable and self denying traits. But the soil was fruitful one. Strength of mind, courage, cheerfulness, kindness and self-abnegation were native to her and only received direction and nurture from education.
 In May, 1889, she married John N. Stick ney and soon after the young conple made their home in Michigan, where three chil- dren were born to them, and where her strong and constant heart humbly and pa tiently bore the loss of her first born. Thrice thereafter the same grievous bur den was cast upon her in the loss of three others of her children in infancy or early childhood. Of constitution by no means robust, she was, during much of her life, no stranger to pain and sickness, yet she never imposed her burdens or her sorrows npOn others. There seemed always in her large and generous nature surplus of strength and hopefnlness to bestow upon those about her. So constantly did she turn only smiling cheerful face to all who met her, that it might we'll have been thought that her life was one of singular freedom from pain or care. The source of her joy aud calm lay deeper, in firm will, in spirit ruled by love and duty, and in constant communion with her Saviour. It seemed that no call could be made upon her love or helpfulness which would not be met with an instant response and certainly if it can be truly said of any one it may be of her, that she never turned her back upon any duty.

GRANTS PLAIN DRESS.

During the war, even when commander in-chief, Gen. Grant went about wearing an old slouch hat and a common soldiers blue overcoat, worn and dingy one at that. When advancing on the rear of Vicksburg he gave orders to his army to ''move light" His personal examples gave emphasis to his order. The only "baggage' Ire took with him was briar- root pipe, tooth brush and horn pocket comb.
 At City Point, his headquarters the last winter of the war, the general lived in a two-roomed log hut in the greatest possi- ble simplicity Nine tenths of the cap- tains in his army lived more luxuriously. His food was that of the common mess of the officers. A huge fire was built out doors in front of the hut, and before this, wrapped d in his old overcoat, with two or three of his staff about him, the general liked best of all to sit Toward the last, unknown to himself, these devoted friends watched him night and day. Plots against his life had been formed--an attempt to blow up his headquarters with torpedo had almost succeedt d. In the final days the general became sleepless, and some times sat ill under the stars in the cold night till and 4 o'clock ill the morning. His staff made private plan to take turns in remaining up with him. Even when he threw himself upon his camp-bed one or the other of the faithful friends watched in front of the log cabin door. ''He never knew of this, says Badeau, ''but we of ten bargained with une another for an houl or two of rest. .f The generals wife and children spent part of the tedious months with him in the log cabin.
 At that historic log ,bin Lincoln spent weeks at a time. Between him and Grant there was full understanding and warm feeling Grant said that in the course oi this familiar acquaintance he had Come to regard Lincoln as by far the greatest mar who had occupied the presidential chail since Washington. Lincoln liked to un burden his anxious soul to the general he had chosen. In that troubled time he was urged to remove Grant and appoint some body who had dash and would hasten mat ters In quaint phrase, Lincoln answered only: .
 "Its a bad plan to swap horses in the middle of the river"
 The plainness of dress of both these his toric Americans harmonized. In Febru ary, 1865, Grant went to see Lincoln at Washington. While there he called at the capitol and paid his respects to the senate in session. That solemn body was not { little scandilized by the carelessness ot his attire. So much much SD was thi. the case that after he had gone one of the senators actually arose and asked the con sideration of the senate on the matter. 'It is evident" said this fine-spun sena tor, ''that gross mistake has been made in making Grant lieutenant general. tell you there isn't sec ,nd lieutenant of the Home Guard in my state that does not cut a bigger swell than this man who has 1 just left our presence"

There IS no boarding houses sing 1t. If the daughter of Methodist minister remembers the home of her childhood. her memory must be polyglot. Home is woman's temple. There she.s goddess and votary both. She is also usually jauitor. A man loves his home because it is refuge. He also loves it because there he is governor, or at least he is Acknowledgements. And anyhow he is certain to be secretary of the treasu- ry.

In one sense the parlor should not be living room. It should be the one place in all the house where work is not an ob- trusive suggestion. It should be refuge from all business associations and from all toll that is wearisome or distasteful. In this room there should be only the most restful and peaceful associations. A place free from the worries of life is really neces- sary for the healthy development, and in it's appointments it must be comfortable to the person, tranqnilizing to the mind and gratifying to the eye. To produce this result, care should be exercised not to make the parlor a ,.l'family refrigerator" or give it stiff and forbidding air.

She did not at that time come to Rockville as stranger, having spent much of her childhood at the old Hale homestead in South Coventry, the home of her fathers and mothers fam lily for three generations. She was born in Boston, March 11th, 1916, being the eldest child of David and Laura Hale, who were the children of two brothers of Ma than Haie, the Revolutionary Spy. There is still in the possession of her family1a letter. written on, the day of hsr birth, ex- pressing his joy and fond hope of her fu- ture.

Thereafter. until her marriage, with the exception of short residence inn mediately after her mnther's death with a cousin of her mothers at Lisbon, Conn.,, and few years at school in Hallowell, Me-, and other places, and frequent summer visits to South Coventry, her home was in New York city, where her father through his position as editor of the Journal of ,C0s5snesUs,, and by his abilities and great force of character, exercised an extensive infhlences < ESs a. sE ssIn ths nidst cf a society which gathered itself arohn6 a $ uiHh tllns equally \ leader in religious and mercantile activities, Ma " Hale grew to womanhood.
