Shell Mounds of Florida.

A ships officer who has spent much
time on the ST. Johns river, Florida,
thinks that he has solved the problem
as to the origin of the shell mounds
that occur along that stream. The
river twists about in an extraordinary
way, 50 that in many places view
along the water extends for only few
rods, but he finds that a tall object or
the smoke of a fire shown from the ton
of one of these mounds could be seen
from those next below and above, and
he believes that these eminences were

All the other children died in infancy,
and Mrs. Dupont died when Hamilton
was in his tenth year. He was wild
and ungovernable in his boyhood, and
as he grew older he became SO ineor-
rigible that his father, who was a very
hard, stern man, disinhefited him.

CHRISTMAS!
Let tile Citizens of Wasllburn and Mclean
County KejOlce.

County ReJOlce.
From the uttermost depths of the capa-
cious heart the LEADER wishes everybody
Merry Christmas. Especially does it
hope that this season of general gladness
will bring some measure of Joy to light
up the many farm-houses of Mclean
county. In the cities and villages of the
east church bells will.ring; we'll dressed
people will tlrong the streets; and musl-
cal sleigh-bells and merry voices will fill
the air. Yet there will be repining and
great sadness of spirit. 10 the poor man
of the east Christmas brings no pleasure.
He feels tho pinch OF want. He feels that
his labor is inadequately rewarded, yet
he dare not complain, because no knows
there are score of Others who would
like his situation. He feels keenly the
CALLING injustice of capital over labor,
and the merry-making of the wcll-to- do
only intensifies the idea of his hopeless
struggle with poverty. His children
hang up no stockings-that little enter
prise would he rare burlesque, though
not one to laugh at. The day is hateful
to him, and he is glad when it is gone.
NOw,.the citizens of Mclean county
do not need to be told that their lot is in
definitely happier than that of the eastern
laboring man: The chill winds which
sometimes sweep over these prairies
will not compare in bitterness with the
blizzards of adveristy which sweep
through the soul of the hopeless toiler of
the east. What though the winds whis.
tie like iends on q jamboree, and snow
flakes fly like spit-balls in Il country

only makes his possossihn doubly dear to

Lot the citizens of Mclean county be
merry! The snow clad plains will soon
again be beautiful with Dakota grass and
flowers. The vast unoccupied lands will
be settled up by home-seekers from the
east. Our prairies will be musical with
the chatter of merry birds. the wild, free
exclam ations of tuneful plowmen, and
the laughter of happy ha thy school
children on their way to and from their
daily tasks, the Ice and snow will soon dis
appear under tho warm rays of the king
of the day and the gentle zephers toy with
the beautiful flowers that bedeck the fertil
prairies and all nature will be in sweet re-
pose.
