Foi. tx moment he had forgotten his salu-

bowed on his hand, when Mr.. George Strong
suddenly entered the Office, and uncere-

of this paper Mr.. Strong," said the editor
"My idea from the first was to publish an
independent newspaper"
E'That's the idee exactly. Well, guess

"By the way, Mr. Strong," said Allen,
"who lives in that old stone house on the
hill?'' Mr.. Strong, turning on the young
editor a look of astonishment and terror,
answered:
''Mr. Gray, you'd better not inquire.
Let that matter rest Don't mention the
old house, don't go near it. We want the
thing to die out if it kin. It's cuss to
Turleys Pint, and least said the better"
Without attempting any further eXplana-

few moments wondering what that remark

himself that his salutatory was not fin

stones, the cases, fonts of type,

was ''goin' to be done with all them

Next day every thing was in shape ready
for business. The editor had clipped some
appropriate articles from the few exchanges
which he had induced the publishers to send
him in advance, and the foreman was put
ting them in type. Toby, the apprentice, was
standing on a. box in order to be high
enough to reach the case, with a stick in his
hand, trying to acquire the art of putting
type into it. He was putting the letters
upside down, the lower ends Of the type

doing all sorts Of odd things which only
beginner atprinting can. Allen Gray was
writing his salutatory, a task not so easy as
some may imagine. The manner in which

lie is very important. If he pleases pubic
fay,az success Is assured; but it he fails to
do this, he might have to struggle for weeks
to overcome the bad impression his intro
duction to the public made.
The opening address is always read with
great deal of care In it the editor makes
his pledges to his readers, and the average
reader seems more anxious to know what
those pledges are than to see that they are
kept.
"Well, you've got started" said Mr..

Why, we have in them already consider

extraordinary progress achieved under

AFAMOUS BATTLE-GROUND.

On the banks of the Tippecanoe, q
small stream which enters the Wa
hash River in Indiana, was fought the
terrific battle of Tippecanoe.
In this great struggle of frontier
times, the allied western Indians un-
der the 'tainship of Elsk watawa,
the Prophet" were defeated in No
vember, 1911, by the Americans un-
der the command OF Gen. VIM. II.
Harrison.
1t was a desperate, hard-fought
battle, and much depended upon the
result.
Had the Indians been successful,
all barriers of defence for the early
settlers W uld have been overthrown
and the eadly tomahawk would have
been active in the rapid extermina-
ton of the remaining pioneers. On
the other hand the fortunate termin-
alton of the contest put an end to fur
ther attempts at open warfare by the
Indians. The rich territory. SO long
overrun by hostile savages, was
thrown open for settlement, which
rapidly occurred as soon as the news
Of the great victory becan. wide
spread.
Naturally great praise was rendered
to the success and intrepid bravery
of Gen. Harrison and he was honored
in many ways. He afterwards served
as Commander OF the Army OF the
North west, and when Indiana Was adj
mitted TO Statehood, he was selected

The forty-second anniversary OF the
Battle of Tippecanoe found the gal

his forces to great political victory
which resulted in the selection OF Gen.
Ben. Harrison as President OF the
United States.
The Harrisons have been o hardy

cabin stock, which is q sufficient
guarantee OF its genuineness wherever
found. Realizing the truth Of this,
great effort has been made TO re-dis-

"Over the Guns" from the Detroit
Free Press, of which we give para

tisers, like III. II. Warner & Co, pro

Here is the paragraph:
