was once the bed of the lake. Along
its western edge Is ridge which in
the southwest rises into hills. In this
territory are all the necessary fea
lures for recreation grounds of forest
and meadow, affording an endless va
rlety Of picturesque scenery. This
stretch forms the western part of the
system. 1t extends through the Salt
Creek dale and down the Des PLANES

the Calumet River area, while to the
north it runs into the Skokie marshes.
Inside this superior belt Is a smaller
belt on the north, extending in a curve
from the neighbOrhood Of Norwood
Park along the North Branch area and
running into the lake above the Crosse

connect them with q series Of beautiful

The writer lived abont one mile
from the home of MI. Delaney and
rememb ers the time and place where
the lady was laid to rest.
Tuesday the remains of the young
wife of Benz Delaney, was taken up
and reinterred at Bear Grove. Mrs.
Delaney died forty. eight years ago,
in little house that at that time
stood near Wiley spring southeast
of town. Her body was taken north
to hillside near the house, and
buried on what is now known as
the Oliver Smith farm. Mr.. Wine
breiner. who married the only
daughter of the deceased, made the
removal of the body, but was un-
able to locate the position of the
grave until he secured the assist
ance of John Headlee who was one
of those present at the burial forty
eight years ago.

Professor r. G. Barrett Visits Our
Schools.

Last Thursday afternoon we were
agreeable surprised to have former
State Superintendent Barrett give
us a visit. Mr.. Barrett is now a
Professor in the State University
at Ames and State Inspector of
High Schools.
He examined our work carefully
as to methods and plan and was
highly pleased with our new course
of study commencing it on every
point. He said that our graduates
would be equal in training to those
graduated from the best schools of
the state and would be so received
by the College and Normal schools.
This was the first time that he
had seen the scheme of alternating
the work of the last two years SO as
to carry twelve grades with only
two teachers in the High school
and stated that he was especially
pleased with the plan.
Our well kept school house APP
peared strongly to him, for this he
highly complimented Nels and re.
marked that he had not been in a
cleaner house.
He said that the school board and
community should receive much
credit for their evident deep inter.
est in their schools and the high
standard that is being maintained
not only by the High school but in
all departments.

The Lottery of Death.

The most singular and appalling
of all true narratives of the Civil
War is lieutenant Standings story
IT "The Lottery of Death" in the
November McClure's. The Confed.
crate government had determined
upon the execution of two Federal
captains in retaliation for the
hanging as spies of two of their
own captains caught by the Union
troops. All the Federal captains
prisoners of War in the Libby Pris-
on, were compelled to draw lots to
select two of their number to be
hanged. The two-fatefuI black
beans were drawn by Captain
Sawyer of the fret New Jersey
Cavalry, and Captain Flynn of the
5lst Indiana Infantry, the first men
to draw from the lottery of DEATH
AT a two hours notice they were
carted off to die. Lieutenant Strad-
ling tells the story in graphic, un-
VANISHED English as he had it from
Captains Sawyer how the doomed
men were reprieved at the foot of
the gallows-tree by the hard riding
of the Bishop of Richmond and the
interference of Jefferson Davis; how
Lincoln heard the story from Saw
yer's wife, aud at the end of a Sleep
less night devised plan whereby
the men were saved. Lincolns
plan was one of the most pitiless
moves war ever forced from him.
He notified the Confederate cabinet
that Immediately upon the exc
cution of Sawyer and Flynn he
would retaliate by hanging General
w. III. F. Lee, son of their great
commander, and another Confed-
crate officer. This threat frightened
the Confederate cabinet into aban-
doning their plan.
