per day in a sulky or on horseback with
 his famous horse Young Jim" Once
 followed by two ruff1ans at night with
 twenty thousand dollars in his possess 1 sion, he went at full speed for thirty miles, saving the amount. but perma-
 nent injury resulted to his faithful | horse. Every boy and girl in Connect | icut who enjoys the advantages of pub- | lie school education is indebted to James Hillhouse for saving and prs eerving the school fund.
 His pastor, Doctor Bacon, describes | him as tall, long limbed, light in mo- tion and light in step; firm, he seems like some Indian chief or poetry or TO- ! nance, as Massasoit or King Philip of | our early history, as fancy pictures | them." pr. Bacon refers to him as the interchangeable nursing father" of the school fund of Connecticut, and hroutghout a long and eventful life a beautiful example of the public spirited citizen" In all his fifty years of par ticipation in public affairs there was scarcely an effort made for local im-
 provement in which he was not a lead CT of the movement.
 SdPlctlll WdS St iiluii the like of whom does not apper in every generation.
 Hillhouse was untiring in his labors, hopeful under all difficulties, unattract-
 ed by the temptations that surround 8
 public life; firm, intelligent, thought ful, sweet and kindly, he proved cour
 ageous and patient, full of good, wise
 and noble impulses.
 His zeal and energy were expended in
 efforts to benefit his time and that to
 follow. Always disinterested and free
 from personal motives he seemed to
 have no thought of personal glory, financial or political. His unceasing ex-
 ertion for his town, his city and his
 country were the result of labors that knew no weariness.
 But in those hours when others rest,
 Kept public cares upon his breast"
 In December, 1882, while engaged in
 reading his college correspondence he
 arose and went to his bedroom, lying down quietly on his bed; shortly after
 wards his son having occasion to speak to him, went to his room, rbut the old man was asleep. Quietly and gently the angel of death had touched this honored old mn, who from early youth to old age had been an active laborer in every concerted effort to advance New Haven to its presenh.proud posi- ton. It was truly said at his funeral that He aimed at the public good and lived for his country"
 The virtues of our forefathers do not
 belong entirely to the ages of the past,
 but they are ours by inheritance; and
 while the stage coach and the flint
 lock are superseded and any attempt
 to reinstall them would be like efforts
 to call back the candle light and the spinning wheel, charming but not prac-
 tical, yet the patriotism and unselfish- ness of these notable men of former days can be admired and appreciated as we'll in this century two centuries go. Therefore, do we not then honor ourselves as Sons of the American Rev. olution in recalling their deeds and per-
 petuating the memories of such sol dier and such patriot of local and na-
 tional fame as was James Hillhouse.

From where [ am writing
the north porch of the rambling
cottage at sLakeside"- look
across the little lake to the low
lying ridges-they are hardly
hills, beyond which flows the
sluggish Big Rice river. One
spot in particular fixes my at
tention. There are three tall,
lifeless, almost limbless Norway
trunks that rise up gaunt and
specter like against the sky line;
even at this distance perhaps a
mile-one can see they are fire
SCARED and wind-scourged vet
Grams. On two of them, like the
bony fingers of some hideous
witch's hand, stand out a few
gnarled and misshapen branches.
The third is bare. A little to the
left is a tall white pine one
wonders how the lumbermen
came to leave it. Its fellows
were taken long ago, and out in
the clear open it has grown so
symmetrical that one could easily
imagine it living green Chinese
pagoda. [ have never been in
China, but I know the conifers
grow there, else where did the
natives get the idea for the grace
full pagodas they build?
Along the brow of the higher
ridge, on the lower ridges that
skirt it on the south and east, all
are fringed with varied growth
of Jack pines, birch, wild cherry,
popular, willow, oak, alder and
the rich vegetation that springs
like magic from our March snow
banks and covers the earth with
verdure in this beautiful land of
North Wisconsin Beyond the
ridges, although l cannot see
from here, there are wide street
ches of green marshes, dotted
here and there in the higher
spots with clumps of tamarack
and spruce; and the green blades
of the wild rice float on the sur
face of the river and the pools
that lie here and there like mir
rors on the bright green of the
rank growing grasses. 1t is
charming landscape One may
see a hundred delicate shades of
green and trace a thousand grace
ful shapes of growth that wave
and undulate in the cool breeze.
Over it all is a perfect sky.
F'leecy clouds floating IN the
deepest, purest blue.
I have been reading DR.. Albert
Ernest jerks charming little
story, 'aThe Childhood of Ji-Shib,
the Ojibwa. The Doctor says
pronounce it "She-sheeb," and
of course the Oiibwas are what
all North Wisconsin people
know as Chippewas. They were
here before the white men came,
and most of us can count acquain-
tanceship with at least one or
more of their degenerate descend
ants. Few of us, however, stop
to think as we get glimpse now
and then of these same descen-
dants, mostly in rags and as beg
CARS, that back there in the past,
perhaps before the three gaunt
Norways and the graceful white
pine on the ridge over yonder
were even tiny shoots, they were
a great race Of people, one of the
largest tribes of the great Al
gonquian family that occupied
the territory embracing the ST.
Lawrence Valley and the Great

The Childhood Of J-Shib, the Ojibwa.
BY E. F. GREYsoN, of Tomahawk.

Lakes, northward to Hudson
bay, southwark to the Tennessee
river and westward to the Rocky
mountains.
And probably still less do we
realize that every lake and stream
and valley and plain and hillside
throughout this North Wiscon-
sin of ours teens with the poetry
and romance and story of, this
departed people. DIR. jerks is
one of the few who have discov-
cred this and in "The Childhood
of Ji-Shib" he has given us pic
ture so full of the charm of things
that have passed, so full of the
daily life and loves and fears and
hopes and hatred of this simple
people, who built their wigwams
here before US, that one reads
it and lays it aside and looks
across the blue lake and the low
ridges beyond to where the gaunt
Norways stand with almost
reverent air.
For there at the foot of the
Norways and beneath the spread
ing limbs Of the great white pine
lie a dozen or more mounds, and
from their sides, washed by the
rains of unnum bered springs,
lay bare the skulls and bones of
a hundred Ojibwa warriors. A
series of these mounds extends
up and down the ridges along
the river for a mile or more.
Across the broad marshy fat,
on the ridges that border the
Tomahawk river, is another long
series of mounds, and the tradi-
ton says that here is the burying-
place of the Sioux the opposing
force that took part in one of the
great battles that were continu-
ally occurring between these two
tribes.
From some of these mounds,
which are irregular in shape and
arrangement, probably being
made between the boles of trees,
all traces of which are now gone,
there grew great trees two feet
OF more in diameter, only the
stump remaining noW-the white
man taking them for his lumber
piles. Scratching away the loose
dirt from the side of one of them
I came upon a skull which still
retained it's original shape and
the SutureS seemed to hold the
different pieces together, but on
exposure to the air it soon crum-
bled to pieces in my hand.
And as I sat here today with
DR.. jerks beautiful picture of
Ji-Shib's Childhood before me, [
felt almost that I had done some
vandal act Perhaps, even, il
Shib had been, one of the war
riors in that terrible battle; per-
haps even the medicine bag made
of the skin of A-mi-kons had
ceased to give him protection
do not our tutelar gods all fail
sometime? and the cruel flint of
a Sioux arrow head or tomahawk
had laid him low.
And then, as the sun went
down in the west and it's sloping
rays fell aslant the ridge where
the Norways stand, poorlJi-Shib's
fellow braves placed his body
there among the rest and with
it his faithful little A-mi-kons,
who was wiser than he. Why
not?
And what right had | to take

Ti-Shib's skull from it's last rest

ing place and crumble it in
pieces and scatter it about? And
I hope I was properly humble
and contrite, and if ever I meet
DR.. jerks [ mean to beg his par
don for so mean an act to his il
Shib- and mine.
For if you read "The Child
hood of Ji-Shib, the Ojibwa, !"
you can go out along the shores
of any of our myriad lakes, or
upon the banks of any of our
numberless streams, or atop the
ridges or into the valleys any
where in this broad and beauti-
full North Wisconsin of ours
and you can feel that you are
simply traversing the same
ground that thousands of il
Shibs of the Oiibwas have travers-
ed before you.
DR.. jerks wrote it and dedi-
Gated it to some friends of his
'thalf a dozen groups of Little
People" as he puts it. But he
put into it so much poetry and
story and romance, and it all
smells so strong of the soil
and Of the pines and birches and
oaks and naples and tamarack
and spruce and wild strawberries
and winter green it really is so
near what was what must have
been-before we came, that /
feel sure he meant it for every
group of little and big people,
too, everywhere in the four great
states bordering Lake Michigan
and that when they read it,
they will all be his friends.
For "The Childhood of Ji-Shib,
the Ojibwa" opens field of in
terest that is very wide and
full of by-ways. Everywhere
through North Wisconsin es-
pecially are traces of the people
of Ji-Shib. Legends of the loves
and the brave deeds of the Glib
wa, cling to every locality. They
are passing away as race, and
soon will be only a memory.
There was much in their simple
lives that even our boosted civ
ilization might profit by. They
knew and loved nature and &C
copied her bounties without wan
tonly despoiling her. Perhaps
in some thing their standards
were low-at least in all things
we know too little of them to sit
in Judgment.
One cannot read DR.. jerks
little story without wishing there
were more, such as he, with low
ing hands and sympathetic hearts
to go back into the past of the
race and bring to us the pleasant
things that lie hidden there.
