hearts Still Remain.

Peabody, Kan.-For their golden
wedding Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. Lowther Of
this city went back to their old home in
the West Virginia hills, which they had
not visited since they were married,
fifty years ago.
They joined the trek to the Kansas
prairles before the Santa Fe railroad
ran further west than Emporia, and the
trip to Marion county was made in a
prairie schooner. Here the Lowthers
took up homestead and lived, rearing
eleven children, eight boys and three
girls. and in all that time they never
went back to their old home in Richie
county, not even to visit.
But for the fiftieth anniversary of
their marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Lowther
decided to return to. their old home.
They were sweethearts when the civil
war broke out. For four years the
West Virginian wore the blue uniform
OF the federals. When peace was de-
clared he went back home, back to his
sweetheart. who had waited for him.
The trip to the altar followed. And
later they came west. w.
Writing from West Virginia to her
son Mort Of Peabody the other day,
Mrs. Lowther said everything had
changed back there. Even the hills had
got higher than fifty years ago. But
the old log cabin in which she was
reared was still there, and so were the
old well. the old oaken bucket and the
initials of herself and Mr.. Lowther
which had been carved fifty years ago.

Seattle, Wash.-Professor Edward s.
Meany Of the University of Washing
ton is arousing public interest in the
memory of old Chief Pat Kanim Of the
Snoqualmie and Snohomish Indians.
Chief Pat, stanch friend Of the early

Of pioneer days, and Professor Meany
wants his grave marked with a suit
able monument.
In the days when settlers had reason
to fear the lurking red foes in the deep
forests Chief Pat Kanim's people were
powerful where Everett now stands.
It is not known just when the chief
died, but he was buried on bank of
the Snohomish river. @
When the grave was threatened by
the overfowing river relatives moved
the remains to the little cemetery on
the Tulalip Indian reservation, where
many Of the tribes he ruled in power
now live in humble homes.

tells of the chiefs craftiness in driving
Glasgow and Rabbeson from the first
settlement on WILDLY island in 1848.
He made great drive with dogs and
secured sixty deer for feast of assem-
bled warriors. He counseled in favor
OF driving the white men out of the
