MADE a GREAT SUCCESS.
An Editor Who Knew Nothing About
the Business, but Made Money.


I was talking with, printer the other
day who worked for a number Of years
at Pennington, Mimi, for man by the
name Of Squires. At one time he had
a partner by the name of Farmer, the
firm name being Farmer & Squires.
One day when the press was being
loaded the ''&S" dropped out, leaving
plain Farmer Squires, and the edition
was run off before it was noticed; Far
mer sold out the next day, but it was
Farmer Squires' paper from that on.
He made a big success Of the paper, al
though he didn't know a fourpica lead
from q two-revolution Hoe, and he
did not do thing toward running the
paper except making contracts for for
eign advertising-that was his strong
point; he got hay knives, tanning mills,
sewing machines, pile drivers, washing
machines for advertising; he accepted
all propositions, including patent medi-
cine and scholarships. The printer had
to do the rest; he built the fires, set the
type, got the news, attended to the
DolUical and moral end of the paper;
smoked the wedding cigars; chased
over the county Oh a bay horse after
subscribers, took the blame and looked

ExomD1c Of Materna1 Devotion.

Example of Maternal Devotion.
There still survives at Santa Ana, CAL,
a hale and hearty old lady, Mrs. Moses
Winans, who not only has the distinction
of being the sole survivor Of the massacre
of Fort Dearborn, in 1872, but also that
of being the oldest living person born
on the site Of Chicago. Until recently it
was supposed that the last person present
on that awful occasion had been dead for
more than thirty years.
The massacre of Fort Dearborn was
one of the most treacherous and cold
blooded in American Indian annals. When
the war with Great Britain broke out
in 1912 Fort Dearborn, which had been
erected in 1904 on the Chicago River,
near its mouth, was ordered by the Gov
eminent to be abandoned, fearing that
it could not be held. Accordingly, on Aug.
Is, Capt, Head, then in command, evac-
uated the place, the garrison moving out,
followed by civilian settlers and half
breed hangers-on. When mile and
half from the fort the party was at
tackled by an Overwhelming number of
Pottawattamie Indians Twenty-six reg
ulars, II militiamen, 2 women and 12
children were slaughtered, and then the
Indians destroyed the fort.
Among those who fell was Corporal
John Simmons, and he laid down his life
in trying to protect wagon in which
were his wife and two children, David
and Susan, the latter only months old.
This Susan is the sole survivor of the
slaughter, and was hidden beneath her
mothers skirts during the killing. Her
brother David was killed before his dis
tracted mothers eyes
Runnin. the Gauntlet.
When the Indians had completed their
bloody work they divided up their prison
ers 1t fell to the lot of Mrs. Simmons,
Susan's mother, to go to Green Bay. and
her captors crossed the Chicago River
and started for their home During all
that journey Mrs. Simmons was COMPEL
ed to gather fuel, build fires and prepare
food for her captors. She walked and
carried her babe the entire distance, some
thing over 200 miles. More than week
was occupied in making the journey.
Swift runners heraided the approach Of
the party to the members of the tribe in
camp, and the women and children sal
lied forth to meet the returned warriors.
Upon the announcement of the death of
their friends they commenced a fusillade
of insults. splitting on the prisoners, pull
ing their hair, kicking them and torment
ing them in every way possible. The
prisoners were marched to one end Of

The ..Snn Cure /"

The ''sun cure" which is rather heroic
treatment in some ways, is what prom
inent physician recommends for women
who spend most of their time indoors
"A window sun bath is better than moth
ing" he says, but having made up your
mind to try the sun cure, do it with a
will. Walk the sunny side of the street,
choose the sunny side of street cars and
trains, and Sit stand, walk or lie in the
sun at all possible times and seasons. II
you can only get one hand and foot in
the sunshine, do that much, and when
ever possible let the sun rest on your
hair. The hair is a wonderful conductor
of the health-giving currents, and when
you take your sun bath let it hang loose
in the brightest rays you can find. Do
as the ancient Grecian women did. Lie
in the sunshine with your hair spread
loosely over your face, and it will show
the effects of this treatment. The I'M
pleasant dryness which always follows
winter weather and furnace or steam
heat will disappear, and it will grow
glossy and strong again. 1t will be ben
Gifted both directly and indirectly. =

double line Of savageS composed of young
and old, male and female, and were COM
PEELED to run the gauntlet, receiving
blows from clubs in the hands of those
who formed the lines. Mrs. Simmons
hoped that her sex and the infant she
held in her arms would exempt her from
the ordeal, but in response to the unlver-
sal clamor she was led to the starting
point. She looked for a moment i'll horror
at the long line Of savages armed with
indictments of torture and eager for the
punishment to begin. She lost heart for
n moment, but her courage came back
rs she thought of her child, which she
dare not leave for fear that it would be
killed. and wrapping it closely in blan-
lzet and folding it in her strong arms and
bending forward to protect it from the
cruel blows, she ran rapidly down the line,
reaching the end, bruised and bleeding,
but with the babe unframed. She was
then taken into wigwam by q compass
sionate squaw and she and her child were
cared for.
In autumn the warriors of Green Bay
with their prisoners marched again for
Fort Dearborn, passed the scene Of mas
sacre, skirted the end of Lake Michigan,
and made their way to Mackinac Mrs.
Simmons and her child suffered terribly
OH this journey, as winter had set in and
their clothing was thin.
From Mackinac Mrs Simmons was
sent in midwinter to Detroit, distance
of over 300 miles. The knowledge that
the Government authorities might ransom
her and her child kept up the mothers
strength and courage. The weather was
almost uncomfortable and the food of the
party was often nothing but acorns and
NUS found under the snow. The child,
Susan, now year old. had much increas-
ed in weight, yet with her own diminished
strength the mother not only carried it
constantly OIL the march, but generally

The famous rebel yell is in fact moth

ception of the Natchez, they We're the

by the patriots at Kings mountain;
again at Jonesboro, when 1900 Tennes-
seeans assembled to rescue John Sewer,
who had been kidnapped by North Caro-
lima, to be tried for treason against that
state. 1t was a war cry at San Jacinto,

GoLD-STREAKED BOULDER.
A California Discovery Which Has
Created Much Excitement.

Created Much Excitement.
The finding Of an immense. boulder in
the bed of Corral hollow creek, in the
eastern part of Alameda county, Cal,
which shows rich streaks of gold, has
created no end of excitement among the
residents of that section. says Il Liver
more dispatch to the San Francisco Ex-
aminer
The discovery was made by Henry
Lake and j. Hurley, on the formers
land, OF point where the creek divides
the property. There are those who be-
lieve the boulder has been for ages III
the exact spot where it was found, but
from the fact that the sowner of the
property believes that he would have
noticed if had it been there any length
of time, partly upsets the theory. An
other hypothesis, and one that appears
quite probable, is that the boulder had its
formation higher up in the mountains, or
is probably the refuse of some worked
out claim, and during the season of high
water has been forced from its lodgment
down the stream. The boulder is 50 large
and heavy that it could not be handled, and
Messrs. Hurley and Lake commenced the
operation of blasting. Their work re-
veals every evidence Of a rich find, and
to such an extent that they have decided
to remain reticent. Prospectors are firm
in the belief that a rich ledge will soon

the camp drudgery for the Indians.
When Detroit was reached that port was
in possession Of the British and Indians,
the latter having practical control. At
the departure of Gen. Proctor, the Brit
ish commander, the Indians butchered
part of the prisoners in cold blood.
More Indian Massacres.
From Detroit Mrs. Simmons and her
child were taken to Fort Meigs, which
was then in command of Gen. Harrison.
Here she was set at liberty and learned
that supply train had just arrived from
Cincinnati and would Immediately return
under a strong escort. The train was to
pass on it's return within few miles of
her old home in Miami County, Ohio.
That was 200 miles away, the streams
were swollen, the swamps covered with
water, the roads deep in mud and slush,
and the weather chilly. But the contrast
Of this journey with the recent expert
ences made it seem like pleasure trip.
She was now among friends and soon
with her child was warmly wrapped in
blankets and sheltered in comfortable
home. She arrived at the block house
safely only to find that her trials were
not over. Within q short time after
reaching home, her only sister and her
sisters husband We're killed by the In
dians while they were at work in the
field. -Four little children were witnesses
of the murders. The Indians were at that
time on the warpath in Ohio and it
seemed to Mrs. Simmons as if she had but
gone from one danger to another as great.
The body of Mrs. Simmons sister was
brought into the block house on the an
niyersary of the killing Of her own hus-
band and son at Chicago

An Fynexnected Champion.

While a freight train was lying over
at a small mountain station in Mon
tana, the engineer borrowed shot
gun and started out for hunt. He
was about returning to his train when
a. cow made her appearance. Before
he realized that there was any danger
the animal made a rush at him and he
ran with all his speed. But the cow
was the better racer, and in a few
minutes caught him by the clothing,
splitting his coat from waist to collar
and tossing him into the air. Getting
= to his feet as quickly as possible: he
lodged behind a tree, and then, to his
dismay, found that the gun barrel was
bent so as to be useless.
The, next ten minutes were very: live
" ones. The COW chased the engineer
round and round the tree, and when he
got q chance to hit her with the gun
barrel it only seemed to enrage her

time when he would succumb to ia

saved his life. An angry snort was
heard, and big elk appeared upon the
scene, head down and prepared for
fight The COW was SO mad by this time
that she was ready for anything, and
in another moment the two animals
dashed at each other. The engineer
watched for q few minutes until pru-
dence suggested that he should make
a retreat while he could. He regained
the train in safety and never knew the
outcome Of the battle, but the presump-
