Indian Graveyard in Illlno,s.

An Indian graveyard was discovered
by workmen while digging on the
banks Of the vermiIiion river, five miles
north of Fairbury, H., recently. Trees
Of an immense size were cut from the
ground where the graves were found,
and the position the skeletons were
in denoted that the bodies were buried
in q sitting posture and surface dirt
placed over them, as the black soil was
several feet deep and elevated into a
small mound. Among the relics fond
were copper spearhead and q s@sne
pipe. A study of this collection will
probably show definitely to what group
of Indians these people were allied.

And She "Biled the Pot.

anu oh0 Hohcu bno
Patient and long-sufferin reader
maybe you don't know the old lady Gar
ner. But all them that have scraped
up acquaintance with her can tell you
that she is red-headed and rantanker-
GUS and come from fightin stock. You
couldn't burn the woods and sift the
ashes and find another one exactly like
her.
From the station she struck q bee
line and burnt the wind for home, and
durin the balance of that day she was
the gonebyest most busiest woman in
the round created world. She dreened
the ash barrel for I've, and raked and
scraped the kitchen for soap grease.
Then she made the necessary mixtry
Cor I've soap, and built a roarin big fire
and billed the pot. She billed it high and
she billed it hot, and she stirred it with
Il sassafrass stick to make the soap
particular thick and stick.
But that want all-not by a whole
tremendous big lot. In the still and sol
emn hours of the night she went forth
and got her old soap gourd and toted
that pot of fresh I've soap down to the
railroad. And she didn't stop there,
She took and poured and smeared that
soap on the steel rails for 200 yards.
When the days work was done, and
when Misses Garner laid her poor old
body down to rest that night you may
know she was weary with the
storms and trials and fluctuations OF
this vain and feetin world. But
In my own mind / have no
doubt but what the last words she
spoke before she fell off to sleep the
sleep of the just were: Sixteen hands
high, and heavy as buchshot."
The next time you 60 over there to
the gravel cut if you will stop and look
up and down the railroad you can see
the tremendous heavy grades both ways
Right frequent it comes to pass that
heavy loaded trains run down to stall
and dead stop along there-psrticular
soon after rain when the track is wet
and slick.
But when 1t comes to maxim things
slippery and slick little rain water
amt nothin to whole passed. CT fresh
soft soap. so consequentially that
right when the next freight train come
thunderin down the road it had to stop
over there at the gravel cut. BY and by
another one come thunderin up the
road and when it struck the gravel cut

The "wherefores and whenceness."

Tho "Wherefores and whenceness."
Naturally of course there was wom-
an In the case as usual. 1t was the rail
road on one side and old Misses Gar
ner-one of these plain, old, Finland.
steel women-on the other side. And
in the general wind-up if that old lady
didn't show out ahead of the game she
made the other side more than willin
to take out and quit even.
Now as to the wherefores and the
whenceness thereof-it would seem
like the railroad has been runnin of
its cars SO wild and reckless here lately
till they had killed off whole passle
of Misses Gamers chickens and ducks
and the like of that-which, you under
stand, she lives right there on the bluffs
of gravel cut. She had took her foot
and hand and went up to the station
two or three times and put in her claim
for damages, but the railroad wouldn't
cough up worth a cent. The agent told
her that they didn't pay for nothin
less than hog, and she would have to
learn her chickens better sense than to
run back and forth across the railroad
tracks.
But finally at last one day last week
heavy loaded freight train run over
the old lady's turkey hen-"and her
a settin on IA eggs"-and mashed her
into thousand odds and ends and scat
tered fragments.
That was one too many for Misses
Garner. She fused and stormed and
cried, and stormed and cried and fused
till she saw that wouldn't even pay her
for her time and trouble, and then she
tore off and pitched out up the road to
the station, with her fly bonnet in one
hand and the feet and tail feathers of
her dead turkey hen in the other.
She went up there to see the agent,
and she saw him. She told her terri
BILE story in plain United States and
give out some of her strong personal
opinions In regards to the railroads
and the railroad men. But it was also
pluperfect vanity and vexation of spirit.
lie wouldn't pay her continental red
cent for her turkey, to say nothin of the
package on chickens.
