Romance of Indian Days.

There is a flavor of historica
romance in claim presented to tn
interior department by Genera
Isaac r. Sherwood, member Of con
gress elect from Toledo, in behalf o
James M. Wolcott of Maumee, O
Wolcott is a descendant of thu
famous Indian Chief Little Turtle
who was the head of the Miams
Indians, one of the most powerful
tribes Of the northwest, and is proud
of his Indian ancestry.
He lays claim to 800 acres Of land
in the city of Fort Wayne, Ind,
which is covered with residences
and business houses, and with the
improvements thereon is worth many
millions of dollars. He has no ex.
pectation Of getting possession of
the property in its present condition,
but insists that he has an equity in
it and hopes to establish it by the
government records.
Many of General Sherwood's 8
predecessors from the ninth con-
gressional district have sought to
prove up this claim, but have been
unsuccessful, and now he is under
taking to do it from sense of duty
to one of his constituents.
The claim of Wolcott is for letters
patent to a half section of land
to Ann Turner under the treaty Of
St. Mary's of Oct. 6, 1918. After
the notable battle of Fallen Timbers,
in which General Anthony Wayne
defeated the Indians of northwestern
Ohio and their British allies, the
government of the United States
made treaty Of peace with Little
Turtle.
The Mama chieftain had one son
and three daughters. One Of them,
called Wa-Han- Ga-Futh, married
Captain William Wells. Ken
tuckian, who at the age Of 10 years
was captured by the Miama tribe
and adopted by the Little Turtle.
By that marriage Ann Wells was
born, and named by the Indians,
h-Fiz-Zach- Quah. When she grew
to womanhood she married man bv
the name of Turner.
Ann Turner, her two sisters and
her brother were each granted $40
acres, or section of land by the
treaty Of 1918. By special act of
congress, approved March s, 1918,
Captain Wells was granted the right
of preemption of 800 acres, or half a
section Of land, situated at Fort
Wayne, on the banks of the Wabash
river, in what was then Indiana
territory.
The full section which Ann
Turner received under the treaty
was conveyed to the United States
in 1884 for a consideration of $l2SO,
but it is claimed that the half section
referred to was never technically
ceded to the government for the
reason that the official records do moi
show that the transfer was sub
mitted to the president for his ap-
proval.
General Sherwood says that the
bureau of Indian affairs will make a
further search to determine positive.
ly whether or not there is any record
of the presidential approval Of the
transfer. He thinks it will not be
found, and in that event believes
Wolcott will be able to prove ur
his claim to an equity in the
property.

In the past some makeshift meth
DDS as applied to the testing of grain
have been recommended by expert
grain men. 1t has resulted in no
special harm to the grain growing
industry, and yet the day has arriv-
ed when more natural methods
should be resorted to.
We have in mind the discarding
Of the plan Of testing seed corn be-
tween strips Of blotting paper or
between cloths. That plan while in
a measure indicating the germina-
ting ability Of grain, did not supply
anything like natural field condi.
tions. 1t is by no means uncommon
to find corn that would send out a
fairly good root and stem when
placed between wet cloths. and yet
at the same time not beable to show
well-developed organs when these
were to encounter the actual soil.
We have no hesitation in recon-
mending to our readers the plan Of
testing seed corn in the spring of
1907 by making it come up through
at least two inches Of soil. Every
man can make boxes and adopt
methods to suit his condition, the
important thing being to put the
seed in the real earth.
If four or six kernels are taken
from each ear of corn that is to be
used for seed and planted two inch.
es deep in soil, and this in turn is
placed in room where the temper.
ture is not abnormally high, say be.
tween GO and 10 degrees r., the re
suit will give an almost absolutely
accurate index to the character o
seed. Ii there is anything delicate
about one or two blades in givel
cluster there need be no hesitation
about discarding the ear from whicl
the kernels are taken. We believ'
that only in this way isl it possibl,
to select out seed capabls5of givin.

Mays of the E!yina Fish.

Flying fish swim in shoals varying
in number from a dozen to a hundred
or more. They often leave the water
at once, darting through tl,;, air in the
same direction for 200 yards or more,
and then descend to the water quickly,
rising again and then renewing their
flight. Sometimes the dolphin may be
seen in rapid pursuit, taking great
leaps out of the water and gaining up.
on his prey, which take shorter and
shorter flights, vainly trying to escape
until they sink exhausted. Sometimes
the larger sea birds catch flying fish
in the air. The question whether the
flying fish use their fins at all as wings
is not fully decided. The power OF
flight is limited to the time the fins
remain moist.

Herr Dernburg, the Hero of the German
Elections.

In the campaign preceding the
elections Chancellor Won Bulow in
troduced a number of American
electioneering methods into his
propaganda. He, himself, on more
than one occasion, went into districts
where political feeling was intense,
and made speeches. He also issued
manifestoes in the name of the En-
peror, calling upon the voters to
declare against the Socialists, whom
he characterized as unpatriotic and
dangerous to the State. The head
of the German colonial department,
the vigorous and untiring Frederick
Dernberg, also electioneered. In
fact, Herr Dernburg is really the
hero Of the contest, the Kaisar's or
ganizers of victory. He provoked
the battle and bore the burden of
the fray. In lectures, speeches and
conferences he told the people about
Germany's empire in Africa, with
the eloquence of a company promoter
and the fefvor of an apostle. Herr
Dernburg is an interesting figure
and a man Of wide experience in
modern methods of admiration. w
7. Stead calls him a thorough paced
American hustler suddenly let loose
in the china shop Of German
bureaucracy" He is making the
German colonies matter of business
rather than of politics, and his
watchword is: "We make railways
we make no wars" He is now pre-.
pairing for tour around Africa, tt
study the industrial development O
Germany's possessions in that con
tinent.-From "The Progress of tn
World" in the American MONTH,

Minnesota, having lived in St.
Anthony as early as 1914. His
grandfather fought in l776 and was
on terms of intimacy with Washing
ton. Mr.. Willoughby, who is IS
years old, never fought for his
country, never engaged in politics
aud never required the services Of a
doctor or lawyer.

Earth's Angels.
None ever saw an angel
Except the ones in books:

None ever saw an angel
Except the ones in books;
don't believe mortal
knows how an angel looks.
We guess at something misty.
With trailing wings of white,
With amber tresses floating,
And garments strangely bright.
But I believe that angels
Walk here In mortal guise,
Though we discern but family
Through heavy-lldded eyes,
Or see them as they leave us,
Who Walked before lis here,
Their anglehood quite hidden
Because 1t lived SO near.
cen remembr angels
Who seemed but common folks.
Who wore old fashioned bonnets
And faded winter cloaks;
Who came when dire disaster
Crowned lesser ho;.ie mishaps,
Or when new claimants crowned
The dear maternal lap;
With curvlng arms wide opon
To take the weary In,
With patient love to listen
To childish wants and sin.
What better thing could angel
For childish sinners do
Than listen to their story.
And bid them start anew?
And there are iireside angels
Upon whose faded hair
We see no crown of.glory-
And yet the crown is there!
Then, there are mother angels
With patient love and true,
Whose loving hand uphClds us
The darkest trials through.
ALI. me!lthe childish angel
Who beckons IS l write
Perchance should not know him
In mystic robes of white.
He wears schoolboy's jacket.
And where the shadows fall,
wait through long and lonely year.
TO catch the long-hushed call.

Don't judge a man by his
clothes. God made one and the
tailor made the other. Don't
judge a man by his family, for
Cain belonged to a good family.
Don't judge a man by his failure
in life, many a man fails because
he is too honest to succeed. Don't
judge man by the house he lives
in, for the lizard and the rat often
inhabit the grander structure.
When a man dies they who sur
vive him ask what property there
is left behind; the angel who
bends over the dying man asks
what good deeds he has sent be-
fore him.-Brandon News.
