In Memoriam.

After mGre than years increasing
weakness and consequent infirmities our
mother is no more. Death touched her
and she sleeps The hest of mothers, as
! her son, we cannot iin the words to
fully express the trib1te If love and
respect that OFT heart feels for her.
Through our childhood. youth and middle
age she has been our WOrshipped ideal
of all that was good and true and Iowa
bic, and now, though scarcely twenty
| years her junior, we shall soreIy miss
her genial presence; the inspiration of
her Christian faith; her timely cOunsels
and her old time mother love, that made
our troubles her troubles, and lightened
the crushing burden Of our disappCiDt-
ments with lessons culled from more
than eighty years of her own life expe-
riences. She has tempered the ardOr of
our successes with prudent foresight;
sympathized with us in our failings and
misfOrtunes in her cheerful, helpful
way, and has pointed out our future
course, as she wished it to be, clear to
the gates OF Paradise. But perhaps it is
better so; the Lord knows best.
Our mother, Mrs. Hannah A. Pettibone,
nee Fuller, one of ten children, was born
March 23, 1921, in the town of Middle
married to Daniel PettibOne May q,
1910, and died at OconOmowOc, April 2,
1902. aged 81 years and 10 days. Only
two children, Charles A., editor of this
paper, and Oliver F., of Lehigh, Webster
County, Iowa, both surviving, were born
of this marriage. An adopted daughter,
Mrs. H. B. Drake, of Beaver Dam, is also
surviving of the family. A brother,
William Fuller, of Rolla, Missouri, and
a sister, Mrs. Josephine B. Webster, of
South Bend, Indiana, are now the sole
survivors. whose whereabouts is known,
of the family of ten grown to manhood
and wOmanhOod.
In 1850 the family came to Wisconsin
and settled on section 26, town Of Beav-
er Dam which had been the homestead
up to death of father. The deceased had
been for many years member of the nj.
E. Church and her good works in every
relation of life attests the sincerity Of
her profession. She has been in failing
health for many years and finally five
years ago became constant member of
her sons family hold. The end of her life
came quietly, without pain or apparent
consciousness. Her funeral took place
yesterday at 10:30 a. IN. from her sons
residence at OconOmO OwOc and the re-
mains were taken 10 j uneau, for several
years her home, for burial.

GROUND STONE AS FOOD.
Scarcity of Edible Matter in Indis
Leads to the Consumption of
FriabIe Rock.

On account of the absence of seeds
and succulent roots of grasses, says
the chief medical officer of Rajputana
in a recent report, the bark of trees
and even ground-up rocks are used,
principally to give bulk to the scanty
meal, and thereby stay the pangs of
hunger for longer time At present
small proportions of ground Khejra
bark are in use nearly everywhere,
and in the proportion of about one
part to twenty of -four it does not
impair the digestion of the laboring
classes, although it does SO if taken
in excess, says ST. James Gazette.
Indeed, small quantities of this bark,
well ground, are said to aid digestion,
and to make up to some extent for
the want of fresh vegetables. A soft
stone, plia Chata, found on the
Bikanen-Marwar border of Jaipur, is
largely used in that part of the coun-
try to give bulk to the meal. This
stone is friable, and easily ground into
fine powder. 1t contains an oleagi-
nous substance, which has some nutri-
tious qualities, and the people have
found that when finely ground and
used in the proportion of about one
fourth to three-fourths of -four it
does not impair digestion for con-
siderable time; but when it is used
in excess it soon gives rise to malnu-
triton, emaciation, bowel disease,
swollen feet and other signs of starva-
ton. Other barks and earthly sub
stances are more injurious, but the
flesh of the cattle that died, which was
used extensively, had no i'll effects.

EDUCATING THE INDIANS.
Official Inquiries Respecting Present
Methods Are to Be Set
on Foot.

Preliminary to expected important
legislation by the next congress af-
fecting Indian education, Commission
er Jones, of the Indian bureau, will
try to ascertain just what measure
of success has attended the instruc
ton of Indian pupils. Questions ad-
dressed to Indian agents and superin-
tendents are designed to show the rel
ative merits of the different systems of
educating Indians and the after effects
upon the life of Indian pupils who
have attended schools upon the res
ervation or the general educational
institutions located elsewhere. To
what use the Indian pupils have put
their education is asked, and also
whether their course in life after re-
turning to the reservation indicates
that their career will be that of the
average white person. Commissioner
Jones is seeking to make the inquiries
of practical value, and he asks for rela-
tive statements by those in immediate
charge of the Indians as to the status
of those Indian pupils who have at
| tended and are now attending Indian
| rohools.

TRICKS OF MONKEY TRAINER.
Chicago Dealer in the Animals Tells
How His ImitatOrs Come
to Grief,

"I had couple of imitators last
fall" said Chicagoan who made a
business of furnishing monkey aero
nauts for country fairs and street
shows, reports the Chronicle, "but
they came to grief, and as result the
monkey market is pretty stiff. These
fellows lessened the visible supply by
a considerable number of the simians,
who lost their lives by dropping from
a perilous height. The secret of my
business is the naturalness with
which the monkey hangs to the tra-
peze-bar of the balloon or parachute
attached to it.
"Last summer explained that the
trick was easy, that the monkey would
never let go nut in his hand and as
long as he. gripped it with, the hand
thrust through manacle attached
to the bar he maintained an acrobatic
attitude. 1 said the other arm was
held down by a bandage and the monk
could not reach the nut with his
other hand. A few slick fellows got
some monkeys and started in opposi-
ton"
"Why should not the trick work for
them?" inquired listener.
"They forgot that the monks feet
are as serviceable as his hands, and
as I had not enlightened anyone on
the care of that part of the simian's
anatomy they lost some high-priced
animals.e

Bricks from Coke Ashes.

A European scientific journal re-
ports that the coke ashes of gas
works are now manufactured into
bricks resembling pressed brick, but
considerably harder than the latter.
Heretofore these ashes were looked
upon as absolute waste, and were
often piled up on land which might
have been proftably cultivated, SO
taat the innovation is doubly profit
able. The manufacture of coke ash
brick is very simple one. The
ashes are carefully reduced to fine
powder, mixed with one-tenth part OF
sIakeG lime, and, after the addition
of water, kneaded until the mass
forms stiff paste. Then it is treated
like ordinary clay and formed into
bricks by the use of suitable presses
The bricks are then stacked, protect
ed from rain and dried in the air. Nc
artificial heat is required. The air
dried bricks are very hard and make
excellent building material

WATERS GET MANY TIPS.
One in Philadelphia Who Makes ~
High as Fifty Dollars IN
One Week.

Stories of big tips given in Chicago's
fashionable restaurants are outshone
by the radiance of the following re-
cital of a Philadelphia waiter to .
Record reporter:
Sometimes" said the waiter, II
make as much as $50 week in tips"
He stood in the palm roof of fash
ionable cafe and said this without
blush. "The lowest tip l get is half q
dollar" he continued. "That is given
me by the young man who brings his
girl to luncheon, and, very properly,
buys no wine, because he is not yet
married to her. The man who buys
wine with luncheon for two has
bill to settle of eight or nine dollars,
never less. The dinner and supper
tips are the big ones. You, for in
stance, come to me and say: Henry,
am bringing five guests to dinner
here tomorrow at seven. 1 W1sn TO
spend $50. Reserve that corner table
for me and see that the flowers ana
the candles are beautiful. I'll drop IN
at noon to look the menu you
will draw up trouble you tip
me, maybe, five ). If your dinner
party is a larg ., and you spend
on it, say $50, tip me ten dol
lars. Some exc ty generous per-
sons have been .gn to tip me SIS
for dinner wit any swooning be-
ing done by me. he biggest tip I ever
got was $50, but tie man was drunk.
"a percentage of my tips goes OF
course, to the head waiter. A man,
by the way, who isn't tipped hall
enough is the fellow in the hall who
looks after the hats and wraps. Ha
gives you no check, and yet among tne
hundred guests whose things are In
his charge he remembers you, ano
when you come out to go he has your
wraps ready for you without any ques.
