PRAIRIE DU CHEN, Wis, May a..
While excavating for a foundation
for a new residence on the Joseph
Harris farm, near Manning, human
skeleton was found at the depth Of
three feet, incased in a heavy oak box.
Two knives and two coins bearing the
dates of 1847 and 1863 would seem evil
dence that the skeleton is one of the
early settlers. One of the knives was
so placed as to indicate that the man
had been murdered. The blade had
been driven between the ribs and the
breast bone was cracked.
In early days outlaws infested the
Kickapoo valley and murders were
frequent.

A BOTTLE Of TROUBLE

privilege-that have fallen to my lot
have had the honor of welcoming more
than the usual number of illuserious
guests"
My Lord Mayor" said Horace,
with absolute sicerity. "you really
overwhelm me. II only wish l could
deserve this-this magnificent COM
pliment"
"Ah!" replied the lord mayor, in =
paternally rallying tone. Modest.
my dear sir, perceive. Like all truly
great men! A most admirable trait!
Permit me to present you to the
sheriffs."
The sheriffs appeared highly delight
ed Horace shook hands with all of
them.
The band struck up, and Horace,
his head in a whirl, walked with his
host, followed by the committee, the
sheriffs and other dignataries, into the
Great Hall, where their entrance was
heralded by flourish of trumpets.
The hall was crowded, and Venti-
more found himself the object of a
popular demonstration which would
have filled him with joy and pride
if he could have only have felt that he
had done anything whatever to JUS
tify it.
AT length the proceedings began by
sort of solemn affectation of having
merely met there for the ordinary
business of the day, which, to Horace
just then, seemed childish in the ex-
IRENE; it was resolved that ''items
one to four of the agenda need not
be discussed" which brought them to
item FIVE.
Item FIVE was resolution, read by
the town clerk, that "the freedom of
the city should be presented to Hor-
ace Ventimore, esquire"
Then the six compurgators came
forward and vouched for Ventimore's
fitness to receive the freedom.
After this the city chamberlain read
him an address to which Horace listen
ed in resigned bewilderment.
The orator proceeded to read him
the "illustrious list of London's roll
of fame" recital which made Horace
SILVER with apprehension. For what
names there were-what glorious deeds
they performed! How was it possible
that he-plain Horace Ventimore, q
struggling architect, who had missed
his one great chance-could have
achieved Especially without even be-
ing aware of it, anything that would
not seem ludicrously insignificant by
comparison? II
Turning now to your own distini
guished services he suddenly heard
the city chamberlain resuming, you
are probably aware, sir, that it is
customary on these occasions to men
ton specifically the particular merit
which has been deemed worthy of
civic recognition"

ued: Il have only, therefore, to
greet You in the name of the corpora
ton, and to offer you the right hand
of felloship as a freeman and citizen
and candlestickmaker of London"
As he shook hands he presented
Horace with copy of the oath of
allegiance, intimating that he was to
read it aloud. Naturally Ventimore
had not the slightest objection to
swear to be good and true to the king.
or to be obedient to the lord mayor,
and warn him of any conspiracies
against the kings peace which might
chance to come under his observation.
so he took the oath cheerfully enough,
and hoped that this was really the
end of the ceremony.
However to his great chagrin and
apprehension, the lord mayor rose
with the evident intention of making
speech. He said that the conclusion
of the city to bestow the highest honor
in their gift upon Mr.. Horace Nenti-
more had been somewhat hastily
arrived at. He would not detain the
hearers any longer; all that remained
for him to do was to ask Mr.. Nenti-
, more's acceptance of golden casket
containing the roll of freedom, and
he felt sure that his distinguished
guest, before proceeding TO inscribe his
name on the register, would oblige
them all by some account from his
| own lips of-of the events in which he
had figured so prominently and so
creditably.
Horace received the casket mechan-
ically; there was universal cry of
Speech" from the audience, to which
he replied by shaking his head in
helpless depreciation, but in vain; he
found himself irresistibly pressed for
ward toward the rail in front of the
dias, and the roar of applause which
greeted him saved him from all neces-
sity of attempting to speak for nearly
two minutes.
During that interval he had time
to clear his brain and think what he
had better do or say in his present
unenviable dilemma.
"My Lord Mayor, my lords, ladies
and gentlemen" he began in a clear
voice, which penetrated to the far
thest gallery and commanded instant
attention "If You expect to hear from
me any description of what I've done
to be received like this, I'm afraid you
will be disappointed. For my own be-
