Maurice Thompson was versatile in
his natural gifts, for he was success
full not only as a lawyer, but also in
politics and as lecturer. Yet never
has he struck quite so high a note as
in his latest book, Alice of Old Vim
cennes."
We have here a remarkably strong
book dealing with the romantic history
of the old French trading post and
other incidents connected with the his
tory of the American revolution. 1t
viii be a surprise to many intelligent
readers to know that the town of Vim
cennes was founded nearly 200 years
ago, and that it is the oldest town in the
state of Indiana. The French founded
a mission here in 1902, and they also
erected fort at a later period. It's
first settlers were all French. In the
year 1879 Gen. George Rogers Clarke at
tackled the fort and captured it from
British garrison. Gen. Clarke also
captured the commandant of the fort,
Gov. Hamilton, who was charged with
the serious crime of melting the In
dams to attack the few settlements in
the territory. There is not in all Amer
lean revolutionary history more strik-
ing incident than Gen. Clarkes cap
ture of the fort. He had but 200 men,
and the capture of the fort was deed
of wonderful daring and military skill.
A year later, during the absence of
Gen. Clarke, the fort was retaken by
detachment of British troops from De-
troit.
With force of but IT'S men Gen.
Clarke set out in the dead of bitter
winter to again take possession of the
fort. For five days the intrepid general
and his brave men marched through
icy water up to their knees, but they
had their reward in the recapture of
The fort and the routing of the British.

learned from the older braves. In few
moments all would be over. But he
would come before the Great Spirit
with fearless hymn upon his lips.
Suddenly shadow fell across the
canoe. Waukewa lifted his eyes and
saw a great eagle lowering over, with
dangling legs, and a spread of wings
that blotted out the sun. Once more
the eyes of the Indian boy and the eagle
met; and now it was the eagle who was
master!
With a glad cry the Indian boy stood
up in his canoe, and the eagle lowered
lower. Now the canoe tossed up on that
great swelling wave that climbs to the
cataract's edge, and the boy lifted his
hands and caught the legs of the eagle.
The next moment he looked down into
the awful gulf of waters from it's very
verge. The canoe was snatched from
beneath him and plunged down the
black wall of the cataract; but he and
the struggling eagle were floating out
ward and downward through the cloud
OF mist. The cataract roared terribly.
like wild beast robbed of its prey.
The spray beat and blinded. the air
rushed upward as they fell. But the
eagle struggled on with his burden.
He fought his way out OF the mist and
the flying spray. His great wings
threshed the air with a whistling
sound. Down, down they sank, the boy
and the eagle, but ever farther from the
precipice of water and the boiling
whirlpool below. At length, with a
fiuttering plunge, the eagle dropped on
a sandbar below the whirlpool, and he

eagle slowly lifted himself, took the
air under his free wings, and scared
away, while the Indian boy knelt on
the sand, with shining eyes following
the great bird till he faded into the
gray of the cliffs

WOODMA TRIP
AFTER DUCKS

XMooDMAN had been waiting
wv with no little Impotence ever
since the duck season opened for some
water to get into the marsh, so he could
go and get some mallards. 1t was a
very simple proposition, as he stated it
TO the office. The mafsh was now all
dried out and the birds wouldn't linger.
There was nothing there but a few
yaller-legs and redheads. 1t was I'M
derstood that Woodman was in tele-
graphic communication with the marsh
daily, and as soon as the water began
to come in he would be off, and great

Herbert said he thought the game
law ought to be amended so a man
couldn't kill more than a dozen birds "a
day, just as it is in the matter of TAX
ing perch and pickerel, bass or wall
eyed pike; but Woodman said that
would only affect pot hunters, and pot
hunters wouldn't mind the law, any
way.
Nearly every day disreputablelook-
ing characters would come into the
office to talk to Woodman. and the
manager regarded them with evident
suspicion. They generally resembled
thugs, and one was quite evidently a
porch-climber Sometimes they had
dogs with them that acted as if they
were away from home and fearful of
bad treatment.

needed him not. He whistled tuneful
bird calls as he read letters from the

Woodman had his coming.

AN ALL-AROUND GENIUS.
Maurice Thompson, the Indiana
Author, Is Mt Last Obtaining M
tiOnal Recognition.

Maurice Thompson is a western
writer whose name is not at all new
to the reading public. He was born in
Indiana on the 9th of September, 1914,
but his early education was received
IN Georgia, TO which state his father
moved when Maurice was a child. In
1868 young Thompson returned to In
diana, and, having become a civil en-
gineer, he took charge of the construc-
ton of railroad. Civil engineering
was not to his taste, and he gave it
up for the law. Having married, he

MOTHERS GRIDDLE CAKES.

When mother puts the griddle on
And rings the breakfast bell,
The way We boys our jackets don
And tumble down pell NELL,
And get around the table quick
And ready to commence,
Just beats the biggest circus trick
You ever-saw in tents.
At first we bow each little pate
While father says the grace;
Then mother sets a heaping plate
OF cakes at fathers place.
Because he has his work to meet
We wait till he is through
But it is hard to watch him eat
When we are hungry too.
AT last he's done, and says: "Good-by''
To mother with a kiss,
And then she makes the batter fly
And that hot griddle hiss,
And then we boys, who had TO wait
For father. feast galore
But fast as mother fills plate
It's clean with yells for more.
j tell you what, those cakes are fine
With 'lasses on the top
And buttered over till they shine
We don't know how to stop.
We stuff till mother cries: Land sakesi
When will you boys be through?
To fill such appetites with cakes
Is more than l can do
Don't take the griddle off" cries Ned.
Il want some more" cries VIII.
I've only had nineteen" says Fred.
I'm hungry yet" says Phil.
And so we keep our mother sweet
trying might and main
To bake as fast as we can eat
And she just tries in vain.
AT last she brings heaping plate
With: Boys! This must be all;
AS long as l can stand and bake
For some and more you'll call. "a
don't suppose you think thatI
Am tired and hungry, too
The batter bowl is nearly dry
And-well, l want few"
That's just like ma. She never takes
A bit of breakfast till
Her boys. who love her griddled cakes.
Have had their royal fill.
And don't blame her either, for
Not wanting cakes each day
And standing hungry on the floor
While we just stuff away.
The only trouble eating cakes
is waiting for enough, $500
Because one person never bakes
As fast as four can stuff.
I'd have four persons bake for one,
And that one would be me,
And then no starving would be done
Between the plates, you see,

Dr. Llewellyn Jordan, Medical Examiner
Of U. S. Treasury Department graduate of
Columbia College, and who served three
years at West Point, has the following to
say of Peruna
"AlIow me to express my gratitude
to you for the benefit derived from
your wonderful remedy. One short
month has brought forth vast change
and | now consider myself well man
after months of suffering. Fellow
sufferers, Peruna will cure YOU"
Catarrh is a systemic disease durable
only by systematic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is what
Peruna does. Peruna Immediately invigor-
ates the nerve-centers which give vitality to
the mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
Peruna is not guess nor an experimental
is an absolute scientific certainty. Peruna
has no substitutes-no rivals. Insist upon
having Peruna.

ent phases and stages, will be sent free
