Mrs. Sarah Crowley.

Perhaps not many in town can recall
to memory the devoted wife aud
mother referred to in the following
sketch from the pen of our old friend,
John NJ. Bartlett.
Editor of Herald, Island Pond, Vt.
Dear Mr.. Bishop,
Mrs. Sarah Crowley, wife of Timothy
Crowley, died here last week aged 60
years. Mr.. and Mrs. Crowley were old
residents of Island Pond, they and their
half dozen children leaving for the west
about 1875. Mr.. Crowley worked for S.
ID. liobson as engineer in his mills for
several years, aud in the Kimpton But
tiers mill in the same capacity, and filled
a similar position for five or six years
in mills at Island Pond in which Bart
lett aud Robinson were interested. He
and came to Wisconsin and ran our
engines there for six years and when |

he followed me with his entire Vermont
product increased by one or more Wis
consn babies. It was a serious under
taking for this sturdy little Irishman to
feed aud clothe his large family in a
strange city. Industry was the only
study in that family, and each child, as
he or she became sufficiently strong,
caught onto the first job that came in
sight. Each carried home to an anxious
mother Saturday night the little money
earned for week, which with the
fathers snug sum in few years put
them on easy street, and with the Paro-
chal schools, where all that was required
of the dress of the children was that
their clothes should be sound and clean,
enabled them, during their struggle for
a foothold in large city, to make fine
progress in the rudiments of an educa,
ton, and saved the modification that
comes to poor children from the 'dress
parade" in the public schools. This
sturdy Irish couple have lived close &c
their religion, and raised up their seven
children in the faith, one son having
gone before TO welcome the dear mother.
One son is respected physician, another
full-fedged priest, another has C barge
of all the outgoing mail in this big
city. The fourth had had charge for
many years of the mail order depart
ment but contracted bad cough, which
reminded him that he had lost brother
through lack of fresh air in the samt
office, and he went out as common let
her carrier for the fresh air it afforded
, him. The youngest daughter holds
salaried position of long standing Will

The Story of a Brave Boy.

In the November American Maya
zine there is told the inspiring story
of "The Son of Old Straight. 1t is
founded upon the following facts:
In the year 1868 General Bragg
was at Missionary Ridge. He wished
to secure exact information concern
ing the movements of the Federal
Army in Middle Tennessee. To OBJ
tain this he despatched four private
soldiers into the enemy'S lines. The
duty was a hazardous one Before
going, the scouts selected were told
that the chances were small for any
of them getting back alive. Of these
the boy of this story succeeded in OBJ
tanning most important information.
He had counted every regiment and
all the artillery in the sixteenth corps,
found out they were moving on
Chattanooga, and had in his saddle
Seat full and complete maps of the
Notifications at Nashville and other
points and an exact report of the Fed
eral Army in Tennessee when he was
captured by the Seventh Kansas Cav
airy. General Dodge, the Federal
general in command at Pulaski, cor
rectly surmised that some one close
to him had been traitorouS, for the
papers were taken from his own
table. The boy refused TO answer
any questions put to him. He was
given every opportunity to gain his
freedom, General Dodge himself Of
fering it to him if he would disclose
the name of his informant in the Fed
eral lines. He refused. He was
courtmartialed, condemned and hung
as spy. He was twenty years old;
his name was Sam Davis, and Ten.
nessee his State.

and reliable until the white man
comes among them and corrupts
them. II would have been better for
them if they had never seen white
man or known anything about the
ways of civilization.
However, we cannot say that this
argues against civilization, although
it must be said that wherever the
white man has come in contact with
the savage the savage seems to have
gotten the worst of it.
There has been a good deal said
about the worthlcsSncSs of the Indian,
but it must be said that no one ever
heard of a vagabond, drunken Indian
until after he had come in contact
with the white man. What has hap
pened to the Indian will happen to
the simple native Of the North. Con-
tact with our kind of civilization will
ruin them will spread disease and
immortality among them and the pro-
cess OF determination will begin and

but he also has 4 lot of sins to answer

WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA.
They Clog the POres---Only a
Liquid Can Reach the Inner
Skin.

Since the old-fashioned theory of
curing eczema through the blood has
been given up by scientists, many
different salves have been tried for
skin diseases. But it has been found
that these salves only clog the pores
and can not penetrate to the inner
skin below the epidermis where the
eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous
success of the only standard liquid
eczema cure, oil of wintergreen as
compounded in D. D. D. Prescription.
After ten years of cure after cure,
the worlds leading skin specialists
have accepted this as the true eczema
cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to
recommend D. D. d. Prescription at
$l.OO a bottle, but for the benefit of
those who have never tried the pre-
scription, we arranged with the D.
d. D, Laboratories Of Chicago for a
special large trial bottle at Is cents
on a special offer now. This first
bottle ought to convince every suf-
ferer, and, at any rate, it will surely
take away the itch at once.

NOW FOR THE
BIG FIGHT.
Jeffries and Johnson Agreed on
Terms Without Any Seri-
Gus Hitch.

Gus argument or one black look,
without the customary stage abuse
and the time-honored threats, Jim
Jeffries and Jack Johnson met at the
Hotel Albany in New York City and
came to a peaceable agreement to
fight forty-five rounds or more for
the heavy weight championship of the
world. There were only two bitches
in the course of the afternoons de-
bate. The first one, which amounted
to nothing whatever, took up more
than the second, which was vital and
important Sammy Berger, jealousy
guarding the interests of his princi-
pal, insisted on playing Jeffries' name
firsti in the articles. Little, Johnson's
manager, would not agree to this,
and there was deadlock for several
minutes while the great men squab-
bled. The second hitch came when
the division Of the purse was men,
toned.
'How do you want to divide the
purse kidd" asked Little OF johnson.
"Any way will suit me, answered
johnson. "Winner take all is good
enough" -
Elbow about that, Jeff" asked
Berger.
The retired champion cleared his
throat and made his first long speech
of the afternoon.
Jeffries Wanted II Winner Take All.
There's been a lot of talk about
this splitting of the purse" he said
"You said in Chicago that you want
ed to fight, winner take all, rs and 2f
or GO ands 40. You said, too, that
you wanted to bet me $4,000 on the
side. The way | want to fight is win
ner take all and want that side bel
of $4,000"
This declaration drew a cheer from
the crowd. johnson hesitated for {
few seconds.

don't want that side bet. Let's be

FARM NOTES.

Dampness in the poultry house must
not be allowed. Remember also that
fresh air is tonic. and that poultry
of all kinds will do much letter if
their roosting quarters are well ven
tilated
Green bone and scraps of waste can
often be bought at the butcher shop
at reasonable price. and this makes
an excellent feed for poultry if given
to them while fresh. Never feed de-
cayed meat.
When the ground is frozen and
snow covered where do your biddles
procure their grit, or teeth, unless you
have thoughtfully provided it? Some
farms are all picked over, and there
is no grit to be found there, even In
summer.
1t is mistake to try to keep too
many hens for the room you have.
