Of opening a door, never thinking Of
knocking. We lived in log houses,
furnished with strong shutters, which
in turn were held in place by stout
bars, but these never proved to be
necessary for our safety.
THE only danger was when the
Indians were paid off every three
months. The traders always managed
to sell them liquor, and it was neces-

TAUGHT LAZY INDIANS
DIFFICULT TASK SET ELIJAH 7.
MIXER WHEN HE CAME TO
MINNESOTA IN 1S4s.

They were strenuous days in Mime
sofa when the late Elijah T. Mixer
who passed away Sunday, first came to
the state.
Mr.. Mixer came from Long Prairie,
Ohio, to Winnebago City, Mimi, in
1848, having been appointed by the
government to instruct the Winnebago
Indians in the art of farming. At that
time Winnebago City was trading
post with but handful Of whites and
several thousand Indians. The
whites were all men who had never
before had any experience with the
"reds," and for years stood in mortal
fear of being scalped or ending their
days at the stake.
But never did the Winnebagoes re-
volt.
MY husband found many of the
Indians made god farmers" said Mrs
Louisa Mixer, widow of the departed
Pioneer, "but most of them were too
lazy to work. The Indians had a
habit Of soaring us by quietly sticking
their heads thru an open window, or

A FOOT RACE
Minister VS.. Boy,

Facts are facts and stubborn things
indeed" says Michigan clergyman
who had memorable food experience.
The fact Is when man gets all
out OF sorts physically because Of a
arrangement Of the stomach SO that
his heart action Is bad, Is very nervous
owing to physical organs impaired and
nothing he can eat Of an ordinary kind
will properly assinilate, it Is time to
call a halt. Such was my case two
years ago last March when 7 COM
menced using Grape-Nuts according
to directions and have continued their
use up to the present time with the
result I am in better health physical
ly and mentally than I have been for
many years, having passed my sixty
third year.
ITO demonstrate this fact pro-
posed a foot-race with my 11-year-old
boy who was very fleet on foot and he
being barefoot imagined he could out
run his pa, but was besting him I'M
til slip Of my foot on a muddy place
caused me to stumble and I found
myself rolling in the mud in the road
I soon found my footing again undam-
aged and had to Join in good, hearty
laugh with my wife and daughter.
Why should I not recommend
Grape-Nuts to my friends when the
food has done 50 much for me for I
am confident that had it not been for
the help this excellent food supplied
would to-day have been past recov-
cry. Instead Of growing old now feel
younger than I have for years with
more mental strength as well as ply
steal and can preach better sermons
than ever before" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Grape-Nuts makes far healthier,
keener brains. A dull worn-out brain
can be remade on this food. There's
q reason.

little book, THE Road to Wellville."

Admiral Schley Wants q Vote.

Mr.. John W. Williams, member OF the
House of Delegates from this county, is In
receipt of communication from Rear AID
miral Winfield Scott Schley, setting forth
his desire to become voter 10 this State,
and referring to prospective action by the
Legislature looking to this end.
Admiral Schley says that while he has
always been citizen of Maryland his serv
ice in the navy for more than forty years
has taken him to all parts OF the earth, and
that only once during this period has he
voted, and then at Annapolis. He makes
the suggestion that the resolutions OF thanks
which the Maryland Legislature has con-
ferred upon him on two previous occasions
be made the basis OF resolution in this case
to the effect that whenever any citizen OF
Maryland has received, or may hereafter re
ceive, the vote of thanks Of the Legislature
for eminent public services such citizen shall
have the special privilege OF registering fol
election In any town, city or county in the
State conformably to existing law regulat
ing this matter.
The Admiral says: "If my friends in the
Legislature will take such action as may be
necessary to reinstate me as the State Con
stitution may permit, shall be gratified.-

where else, and when this life is over wan

Mr.. Williams says he will proceed at ono
to comply with Admiral Schley's wishes Il
the matter, and that some legislative actio
will be taken just as soon as 1t has bee
determined what steps are necessary TO b
taken.

Governor glands Or"

In conversation with q Baltimore Sun
correspondent on Tuesday Governor War.
field said that in the Senatorial contest now
in progress he had kept his hands of from
the beginning. He does not believe, be said,
that it is any part of the duty OF the Exec.
utive to meddle with the election OF U nited
States Senator.
The Governors attention was called to
the talk of solving the Senatorial problem
by his own election to that place. He said
that some OF the members OF the Legisla.
ture had called upon him with offers Of
their support. But he had been elected
Governor and he intends to serve out the
term II he lives. He is under obligations
to do so, and he believes that the office of
Governor of Maryland is to DO preferred to
that OF Senator. AT least" he added, ut
suits me BETTER"
Speaking of the lobbying evil, to which
be referred in his inaugural address, the
Governor said that there Is nothing that he
can do in an official capacity TO remedy the
evil except TO point it out and call upon the
Legislature to apply the remedy. In that
way he will do all he can to abolish what
he considers monstrous scandal and abuse.
The Governor has taken firm hold upon
the affairs of the State and Is attending to
the duties OF his office with an industry and
fidelity which should serve as an example
TO every official in the State.
True to his habits as q farmer, he is an
early riser and is at his desk in the Execu.
tive office at an hour when most of the An.
napolls people are at breakfast. just now
he spends good deal Of his time familiariz-
ing himself with the details OF his Office
with receiving applicants for Office and ex.
aiming their applications in writing which
have been submitted.
The Governor, as he intimated In his In.
augural address, has under consideration
measure Tor the better regulation of state
banks, savings banks, trust companies, build
ing associations and all institutions which
receive deposits. HIS knowledge OF the sub
ject and training admirably quality him 10
frame proper bill 10 accomplish what he
has in view, and he will see to it.
His idea is that State banks and similar
Institutions should be subjected to the same
supervision that national banks are and that
1t Is wroEg to permit Institutions which are
authorized to receive deposits to Invest those
deposits in wildcat" securities or TO pot too
much Of their capital stock in a single In
vestment. In other words, the Governor be-
lleves that the State owes il TO the people
That their deposits and savings in banks
chartered by the State should be protected as
