The Indian raid was in the year of
1866. There were a few settlers above

nearly harvest time when we heard that
| the redskins were coming down the
river robbing and killing as they came.
All! then and there was hurrying to and

of distress. Those living farthest up the
river loaded their families into their OK
wagons and began a stampede down
toward the older settlements that swept

there, the oxen were soon lolling their
tongues out and showing signs Of dis

The caravan of refugees camped on
south side of the river. but could not be
persuaded to remain and resumed their
flight next morning, leaving us, the
first settlement that had not yet decid-
ed to flee. but we made all prepara-
tions for the worst. Miss Molly Cald-
we'll was suffering with rheumatism
and could not make a full hand at
running in case that came to be nee
essary. So it was decided to put her
and some of our most valuable proper

and their actions generally in our vi
cinity, convinced us that they were not
after white blood, and we soon heard
that as the whites were fleeing in ter
ror from this band Of Winnebagoes, so
the latter were tracking down into the
white settlement to escape their bitter
and powerful enemies, the Sioux.

supper. Next time he sang the opera
he went to the front Of the stage, put

recall such remarks without anger. We
can point to the middle west farm and
farmer as complete refutation of the
Scotchmans boastful and critical as
sertion. There was time, not SO
many years since, however, when the
casual observer of farm life might have
gained an impression that we neglected
the rearing of men in our anxiety to
raise hogs and more hogs. 1t was in
the days Of the middle vests poverty,
when every prairie farm groaned under
it's mortgage and self-preservation

labor to meet the high interest and the
payments due the eastern money
loaner. Such men as the conceited
surface. He had not sensed the Amer
lean character
In those days too many families
were forced to live meagerly. Too few
young men went to college or even
beyond the winter terms Of the dis
trict school. Even a trip to town was
an event to a farm-bred boy He
reached up for the pillow handles and
picked the down row" without much
STOPPING. He wore rough clothes and
cheap ones; cowhide boots without
overshoes. His isolation made him shy
and awkward. His library was the
Bible and the Complete Horse and
Cow Doctor" Judged from superb
cial glance we were not paying much
attention to raising men in those days,
but some of the greatest men in
science, Fart, literature and politics
were transplanted from these condi-
tons.
eIt is no longer necessary to live like
a hog in order to raise hogs success
fully" Quite the reverse. The sue
cessful stock breeder lives well. The
farmers home is bright with evening
lamps and the 'tComplete Horse and
Cow Doctor" has been supplemented
with the latest books and magazines.
The awkwardness and shyness of the
country boy has disappeared. His
course at the university destroyed
