Visit His Old Home.

William M. Kelley visited his boy
hood in Waukesha county, the old
farm nine miles north of Pewaukee,
last week. 1t was his first visit in
twenty five years and he could hardly
realize the great changes that have
taken place since his last visit. He
would make inquiry as to the
old neighbors and almost invariably
the reply was that they had sold out
their farm and moved away When
he was boy the community consisted
of Americans and Irish, now it is
largely Germans, who have moved in
and purchased the farmer at high
price and have paid for them, and
the farms blossom like gardens under
the persistent labor of the industrious
and economical Germans. Of all of
the old neighbors, but two remain, one
of whom is DR.. S. Rice of Newton,
who before he became a confirmed
invalid, enjoyed state reputation as
a physician and surgeon, and was pro-
minent politically in the state. The
change in the inhabitants, demons trait
es the restlessness of the American
and Irish settlers who are always on
the move while the German becomes
fixture and loves his home and is
satisfied with the rewards of his toll.

MRS. zENO BRUEGGER
PRIZES HER MEDAL
GIVEN HER BY AN INDIAN
WHOM SHE BEFRIENDED.
Recipient Recently in WdtertOWn
the Guest of ReldtiVeS-A Res
ident of CulburtSOn, Montana
Originally Given BY Govern
ment.

Yesterday morning, a representa-
tive Of the Leader was shown a med
al which came into the possession of
Mrs. Zeno Bruegger of Culbertson.
Montana, who was recently here Wis
iting relatives, as gift from an In
dian whom she had befriended and
fed when he was in need of food.
The medal is rare and worth about
$50, as curio. On the diverse side
of the medal is medallion of James
Monroe, President of the United
States, A. D., 1917. Upon the re-
verse side are two hands clasped, the
hand of a soldier and the hand of an
Indian, tomahaWk and pipe (of
peace crossed and the words: Peace
and Friendship. These medals were
evidently struck off by the government
and given to the chiefs of the various
tribes when peace treaties were signed
by the Indians and those representing
the government. There is no doubt
but that the Indian who gave it to
Mrs. Bruegger priced it very highly,
for he had made a bag, ornamented
with quilts in which to carry it, and
the medal which is made of German
silver shows that it had received great
care from the owner, who went to
the happy hunting grounds of his
fathers six years ago where war is
unknown and peace universal.

WATERFOWL BOYS
PASS EXAMINATION
Given By the Remington Type
writer co, Yesterday
Offered Positions.

Prof. Robert Butler, commercial
teacher in the high school, took three
of his pupils George Richards, Arthur
Kunzi and Percy Grube) to Milwaukee
yesterday to try the competitive ex-
animation given by the Remington
Typewriter company. They all re-
turned last evening as proud as pea
chocks. The three boys passd the ex-
animation with ease. They all av-
erangcd 90 walds per minute in dicta-
tons and 35 to 40 words in TRANSCRIPT
ing. Thirty words a minute in tran
sciblng is good. George Richards
made 40, which is excellent.
The Remington company then sent
out the boys to H. w. Johnson Man
vile company, where they underwent
another examination and they all
passed and were offered positions at
$50 for the first month, with the pro-
mise Of an increase. The boys were
so surprised that they did not know
whether to accept or not. However,
they decided TO come home and consult
their parents. Officials of the comp
any told them that they were looking
for more boys just like them This
ought to be valuable lesson to the
Eighth grade boys and the high school
boys.
Mr.. Butler is to be congratulated
on the success he has made of the
commercial department in the high
school this year.

To Oakley Miss Emory seemed to
accumulate dignity and reserve In the
exact proportion that he lost them, but
be was determined she should like him
IL she never did more than that.
She was just the least bit afraid Of
him. She knew he was not deficient IN
proper pride and that he possessed
plenty of self respect. but for all that
he was not very dexterous. 1t amused
her to lead him out and then to draw
back and leave him to founder out Of
some untenable position she had BE-.
g1,lled him into assuming.
She displayed undeniable skill IN
these maneuvers. and Dan was by
turns savage and penitent. But she
never gave him a chance to say what
he wanted to say.
Ryder made his appeal TO her vani-
ty. 1t was strong appeal. He was
essentially presentable and compan-
ionable. She understood him, and they
had much in common, but for all that
her heart approved Of Oakley. She
felt his dominance. She realized that
he was direct and simple and strong.
Yet in her judgment of him she was
not very generous. She could not I'M

shops. They talked over the cut and
argued the merits of the case, as men
will, made their comments on Cornish,
who was generally conceded to be as
mean In money matters as he was for
tunate, and then went back to their
work when the 1 o'clock whistle blew
In q state of high good humor with
themselves and their critical ability.
The next day the Herald dealt with
the situation at some length. The
whole tone Of the editorial was rancor-
Gus and bitter. 1t spoke Of the parsi-
mony Of the new management, which
had been instanced by number Of 70
cent dismissals among men who had
served the road long and faithfully
and who deserved other and more con-
siderate treatment. 1t declared that

troubles In store for the hands and
