CHAPTER /.

Cf1Af Eft i.
A long time ago in a beautiful
country over on the other side of
the sea there lived a king, who
had twelve sons-just an even
dozen.
When they grew to manhood he
told them that each must go out
into the world and find a wife for
himself.
Each wife," said he, must
be able to spin and weave and
MAKE a shirt in one day." If she
could not do this, he said tEat the
girl could not be a daughter-in-
law to him.
So the twelve sons started out.
Each was given horse and a new
suit of mail.
When they had gone little
way they all turned upon the
youngest son, whose name was
Pickle"
you cannot go with us any
further" said they in one voice.
"We do not want you any more. ="
Poor Pickle said "All right"
He stopped by the wayside won
dering where he should go all
alone.
When he had been sitting for a
little while. the grass near him
stirred and out came little white
thing. As 1t came near to him

great grand children.
Two years after her wedding in |
Germany, Mrs Portz who was then a |
strong robust young woman emigrated
with her husband to America. They
settled among the pioneers at ST. John
and there she spent the remainder of
her years.
Was Lake County Pioneer.
Mrs .Portz was typical of that Ger
man stock which came to this county
in the early days. and through indus
try and frugality, beat down the Wild
erness and in its stead made room for
advancing civilization. Although her
generation in the fatherland knew
none of the modern inventions and
conveniences of today she could new
ertheless enjoy community life. a
thing which was NOT TO be thought of
In the new country. Like thousands
of other pioneers who had braved the
forbidding Atlantic and tossed on its
waves for months on tramp sail
boat, she came with her husband 10
the promised land to make their for
tune. Her growing children shared
to some extent in the hardships Of
those crude days. but to her grand
children her stories OF pioneer days
| became pleasant Preside tales which
were listened to all the more eagerly
because they could be enjoyed amid
the surroundings of modern convent
ences and luxuries.
Handled Gun With skill.
| Grandma" Portz knew Lake Coun-
", before the shrill whistle of the
railroad engine had ever echoed
through its dense primeval forests.
Many are the trips she made to Chi
/ caeo driving behind team of oxen:
not infrequently did she get up in a.
cold winter night while the balance OF
the family lay asleep. to drive away
i the wolves which were galloping
around the barns in search of stray
, live stock. The red deer came to her
door. yet unafraid of being
slaughtered ruthlessly, and not infre-
juently did she give these hungry
creatures grain from the granery.
Like many another pioneer woman
she had learned to handle the old flint
lock and later the breech loader. Her
eye was true and her aim was steady.
When the wild turkeys. ducks. geese
and pigeons were in season she relied
on her own Workmanship to bring
down something which would fill the
| fieshpot for the noon or evening meal.
In her days the gun was one of the
| implements that was taken to the field
just regularly as the water jug.
Mother of EstimabIe Family.
AS pioneers Mr.. and Mrs. Portz.
prospered. She became the mother of
an estimable family of children, and
she herself retained her sunny dis
position into her declining years. AS
a result she numbered her friends by
the hundreds. and because of her
model life she died respected by all

ises. leaving it free for occupancy by
the happy bride and groom.
So far so good. Mr.. Opperman was
a pretty good tenant. paid his rent as
1T came due, and complied with the
general requirements of tenants. Re-
Gently Mr.. Carlson went blithely to
him and announced that he was about
to marry, so it was up to Mr.. Opper-
man to beat it.
NO So" said Mr.. Opperman- II

until you had married. You are not
married, therefore l fail to see where
l am bound TO give up my house. Mar
ry the girl and then come and see me-"
"All right" said Mr.. Carlson. and
he went to state the case to his fiance.
The future Mrs. Carlson is not only
pretty. but she Is business-lixe. She
has an eye on the main chance. which
If more of the maria geable girls OF
the present day possessed, would rend-
