in at each end of the trench. Across
this a ridge pole was placed. Then
puncheons of linn were leaned up
against the ridge pole to cover the
grave and it was then all sodded over
The grave was surrounded with
oak pickets set IS inches apart, four
feet in the ground and eight or ten
feet above. Right by the flag staff
was post in the ground made from a
tree about eighteen inches through,
with the bark peeled off. On this was
painted with red paint the number of
battles he had gained. To show that

, off. Then there was a picture of
bear, coon and other things on it.
He was buried with moccasins on
! his feet and two new blankets were
wrapped around him and he was fur
nished with provisions to last him in
| the other world. The provisions con-
sisted of meats and one thing or
another that the Indians had cooked
and put in. They put in two barrels
of vermiIlion paint and number of
pairs of mocassins so that he could
make a good appearance in the happy
| country when he got there.
There was a fellow by the name of
Turner that got Black Hawks re-
mains. He was a doctor. Black Hawk
was buried on the 14th of October,
i 1888 and in July, 1899, day or two
before the Fourth, this man Turner
came up here. People from distance
had been visiting and looking at
Black Hawks grave and they had
pushed the pickets aside so they could
look in Black Hawks head had

flesh on it except little on the jaw.

 He seized it and the cartridges as Bob pulled them from his pocket. Wendell leaped for the platform of the train and caught it. The train moved from the station, the baggage porters and switchmen and the station attendants all standing and staring as the crowded cars left the sheds. Then a porter took the placard from the iron stand which had been at the rear of the train, Special to Washington and Newport News.'
 How many more signs must be printed to stand at the rear of trains and guide marching men before the war, which was begun that night, would be won?

It was the fname and address which, Bob said, were valuable. So Sibert probably had started for that office to seize it's con- tents.
 Here and there all night restaurants were open: other lighted windows pro claimed hotels or newspaper offices, but the rest of the business district was black, except for the street lamps. and particularly black was the great build ing which-according to the evidence of Ingouf's body-housed the head quarters of the regents spies.

Jim saw a glint in a window on the third floor "a glint from light within, not re- flection from the lights in the streets. His pulses leaped as he saw 1t.

St Louis. Sept. i9-~Lifa insur- anCe is the most practical and effee- tive method known to end poverty said Edward A. Wood, president of the National Association of Life Un- derwriters, in his report to the twenty-seyent annual convention of the association here today.
 Insurance is i'll constant warfare with poverty and ruin, and Is ever victorious, he said.
 It has been the desire of the as s0ciatiOn for some time to form a closer alliance with the bodies inter ested in the great problem of avert ing dependency, promoting thrift and lessening poverty. that both ourselves and the public may reeog- nize the great part played by life insurance in relieving society of this burden thru the better method of prevention rather than cure.
 We ourselves. the public and es- pecially the law makers should re- aliZe that by means of life lnsur- ances 25000000 Americans are sti,if4tifie the iaest fssssa iittss and of fclive method there is Go end pow erty.
 President Woods urged that life insurance companies attempt Co un- dertake a campaign Co obtain mil lian new policy holders in 1917

 A. life sentence behind bars for raising a S2 check to S22,000 was Becker's apparent future fate in California twenty years ago. but his release was brought about by the American Bankers Association. Becker was 6S years old when he died.

Berlin Profoundly Impressed

London, Sept i9.-Forty thousand Germans have been killed wounded or captured since the AngIo-French armies resumed the offensive on the S0mme front with battering blows that bent back the Teuton lines.
 The allied successes have had a most profound effect in Berlin. aC- cording t0 Hague dispatches today. The Germans had been led Co be- lieve that the Somme drive had been halted by the inability of the Brit ish to capture the Flers-CoureelIett line and t0 break thru the German defenses at Thiepval The German papers are now preparing the pub lie for the carly evacuation of both Per0nne and Combles, and pointing out that a retirement on wide front may become necessary for strategic reasons
