Lodge we have Usage fences which
were set out in 1868, and there are
many in Otoe county quite forty years
of age.
In the beginning we were warned
that the climate was too severe for the
Usage, and that it would winter-kill.
Time has told another and better
story. The Usage is hardy, it grows
into the best kind of fence posts. 1t is
valuable as a cabinet wood. 1t makes

membranes during the holidays. Some
of them have been very valuable from
monetary standpoint and some of them
exceedingly precious because of the
charm and grace of association with
which they are 80 tenderly combined.
But to Mr. Frank Zimmerer, of Ne
braska City, we are particularly in
debted for the most antique and rare
present in the whole lot. His gift is of
a red pipestone Indian axe, which he
found in Walnut Greek on July 18,
1901. This little axe is altogether diff
ferent, as to the material out of which
it is made, from any that we have ever
seen. It no doubt was made long be-
fore the Louisiana Purchase was
dreamed of and while yet the Spaniards
held sway over this part of the CONT
nent. These Indian curios and relics
are very valuable and very rare. Each
year makes them rarer and more valu-
able. Every person who finds an arrow
head or stone axe or any other relic of
the races of men who preceded us on
these plains, ought to preserve the same
and present it to museum or library
for preservation.

"On Dec. the American author,
Professor E. P. Evans, now living in
Munich and well known to the readers
of our Beilage, celebrated his seventieth
birthday. More than thirty years ago
he was Professor of the German Ian
guage and literature in his native land,
North America, and since that time has
resided chiefly in Munich, where he is
we'll known and highly appreciated in
many literary circles. His diligent
efforts as writer have been directed in
great measure to the Interpretation of
the literature and culture of Germany
and America and to the promotion of
better understanding of each other by
these two countries. Three years ago
he published a portion of his contribu-
tions to different German journals and
especially to this Beilage in a volume
entitled 'Beitraege zur Americanischan

(Stuttgart Cotta). This work was re-
viewed in these columns and warmly
commended 'as an excellent means of
