anything you like, in fact.
The clay can be used again and

Washington's steward was man
named Fraunces, who liked good liv-

tinually quarreled about the market
ing. One time he bought a shad in
February, and as Washington saw it
coming into the dining room he was
charmed and asked what fish it was.
ut is a shad," replied the steward,
"a very fine shad. 1t was the only one
in the market, and bought it for you
But what did you pay for itT' said
Washington sternly.

Three Boys Manage a Gold Mine

Near the village of Anaconda, in the

and controlled by three brothers named
OBrien. Dan O'Brien, 3 years old. is
the engineer and president: Bart is of

The Destruction of the Town of Ens-

The Destruction of the Town of Kas-
kaskia Was In Accordance with
the Last Words of the Chief Who
Died For a Woman's Love.
Since the waters of the Mississippi
river washed away the last vestige of
Kaskaskia the first capital of Illinois,
an old legend that contained the proph-
ecy of the total destruction of the once
fourishing little city has been recalled.
Kaskaskia was situated on peninsula
at the junction of the Kaskaskia and
the Mississippi rivers, and in 1882 the
Mississippi river cut its way through
the peninsula, leaving the remnant of
the town on an island. The water con-
tinued to wash away the rich alluvial
deposits on which Kaskaskia was built
until, late in 1900, the last foot of the
land where the town once stood disap-
peared This singular ending of Kas-
kaskia's once splendid ambitions has
recalled to the superstitious the story
that the town was cursed in the eight
eenth century by an Indian who had
been wronged by one of the leading
citizens.
Jean Bernard came to this country
from France in 1893, bringing with him
his wife and his 10-year-old daughter
Marie. The family settled in Kaskas-
kia, where Bernard established mer-
chandising business. The Frenchman
soon became one of the most prosper.
Gus and most influential men of the
town. Marie, his daughter, grew to be
a beautiful woman, much courted by
the most eligible young men of the new
country. She was in no hurry to ac.
cept any of them, and her fame as
belle spread from Lake Michigan to the
gulf of Mexico

Marie had crept away afoot, and as
their pursuers were supplied with fast
horses the young lovers were captured
after a days chase about 40 miles from
Kaskaskia. Their destination had been
the French settlement at ST. Louis,
where the Indian had provided home

two captlves. Most of the men who
composed Benard's party wanted to
kill the Indian instantly. but Bena.d
would not allow ii. for he said that
they should leave him to deal with MS
