dead body of his boy and with his own
broad felt hat covered the upturned face
from the burning sun. He had no time TO
bury him then. Bareheaded, he led mis-
men on until friendly Indian, John Te..
cumseh Jones, called Ottawa" Jones and
"Tawney' Jones' gave him his own plush
headgear. 1t is that of which the picture
is given above The Ottawa" Jones was
an educated and wealthy man, the product
of an Ottawa Indian mission and was one
of John Browns most valuable and I'M
swerving friends at Osawatomie. The cap
was a hot garment for a summer day II

massacre and of a touching incident OF
The picture of John Brown given here is
one taken at the time when he was most
active in Kansas. 1t is a copy of paint
ing by the artist Woodward in the State
Historical collections. OF John Brown
business life in Torrington, Conn, where
he was born, there is a reminder IN a
wooden cane and a square fragment of
board, both of wood used in the construc-
ton of his tannery. The tannery was
low, one story building manifestly not the
shelter of important business estab-
lishment. but nevertheless the source of
a comfortable living for the family before
the Kansas trouble began.
Then there is a bit of shingle from
Browns birthplace. 1t is rotted and old,
showing nothing of its original proper
tions. But this bit of oak is old, for the
house was the one in which Brown's father
lived for years before the birth of the hero
of Osawatomie in 1900. Resting by the Two
pieces of wood are two small bottles. One
contains the fragment from the scaffold
timber while another contains a chip of
marble from the tomb in North Elba, n.
Y. where Brown and his sons lie buried.
The historical society also has brick
taken from the fort at Harper's Ferry.
where Brown made his last fight. This
brick was secured in 1880 by Major Morrill,
and Congressman Baker, the latter of New
York. They We're, visitors at the fort.
which was guarded from dismantling by
curiosity seekers. But Morrill, talked to
the guard while Baker appropriated the
brick and carried it away to his hotel in
bis coat tail pocket.
There is one of 500 axes which Brown is
alleged to have taken with him to Harper 5
Ferry, but the authenticity of it as a
Brown relic is doubtful 1t was found in
the ruins of the engine house at the Ferry
which was burned in April. 1861, eighteen
months after the raid. 1t is a curious i'm
plement with a long narrow blade measur-
ing foot or more. AS a battle-axe II
might be a thing not to be disregarded.
In one corner of the cabinet is an old
copper cent. bearing the date of 1926. But
its usefulness as specie vanished with
contact with bullet of gun of John
F. Cook, making a test of Workmanship
