An Indian Ratchet weighing six
pounds and carved out of solid stone
was found by j. Raymond Heed OF Ell
gin recently while employed by the
Elgin- Belvidere Electric company. Mr..
Heed was doing some surveying for the
company about three miles east of
Marengo when he noticed queer
shaped stone in the field in which he
was working. Upon prying it up he
found it to be Ratchet with Indian
writings on the handle. The implement
is well shaped and is one of the best
specimens of recent finding. Galena

The average life of passenger car
is about twenty-five years, though they
are like the lristman's knife. He had
all the blades renewed twice, and new
handle and several springs put into it,
yet it was the same old knife. And so
with the car. 1t is overhauled so many
times during it's life that it may not
have single bit of its original self in
it when it goes to the scrap heap. 1t
starts out as one of the finest cars of
the crack limited of the road. In year
or two it goes down to the ordinary ex-
press train, then to the main line ac-
commodation, then to the branch line,
and finally it is hitched onto a work
train, from whence it goes to the scrap
heap.
The young men who may have left
the old home to engage in business for
themselves must not forget that they
have sweet patient mother, if she is
living, to whom letter from an absent
son comes like bright ray of sunshine
to gladden. her heart. There is nothing
in this cold and heartless world SO
strong and enduring as mothers love
for her boy. 1t is too bad that this can
not be more fully realized by the boys
than it is. The only thing we can do is
TO keep the sons and daughters con-
stantly reminded of the duties they owe
to the hottest thing living their moth
err. Some day she will pass on into the
great future, and you, young man, will
be called upon to stand by her open
grave. Doyour best to lessen your sor-
row then by lessening her sorrows and
anxieties now while she is with you.
Think of what she has suffered and
done for you. You can not do too much
for her. Cuba City News.
