SHAWANO RED men
Indian Remains, Trails and
Mounds Are Located.
Wisconsin Lake Of Same Name Was
Happy Hunting Grounds and Cen.
ter Of Tribes Population.

The Indian history and remains Of
the region about Lake Shawano and
the Wolf river are discussed In the
Wisconsin ArcheOlOgist In an article
by George II. Fox and H. o. Younger.
Lake Shawano was the center Of In
dian population Of considerable num-
her. and the authors Of the article To-
Gated trails, camp sites, mounds and
other Indian remains In great abun-
dance. Several of the old Indian leg
ends regarding the first Indian settle
ment of this region are also included
In the work.
Among the old trails definitely To-
Gated Is one which led from the Wolf
river to the Wisconsin river, meeting
the latter stream near Wausau. An
other trail ran along the eastern shore
OF Lake ShnwnnO to Mud lake and
thence to the Oconto river near Pull
offer. A third trail run southeast to
Bonduel and north to Cecil. The Fox
river itself was of course the chief
Indian highwny.
The legends regarding the occupa-
ton OF the Shawano lake country are
still part of Menominee lore and per-
haps contain some facts, because the
direct descendants Of the first Indian
settlers in this country still live. A
dream Of beautiful lake, according
to the legend, brought an old Indian
and his family to the place which aft
erwnrd became a large Indian settle
mcnt.
The mounds in the region were
probably built by predecessors Of the
! Aienominees. because the latter did not
bury In mounds. Some mounds were
found near Pickerel creek, some In
, the city of Shnwano. and others on the
wilder shores. where 1t Is difficult to
do much investigating. On Mud lake
in the town of Wescott they found
a group Of four mounds and near the
group a mound more than IS feet In
diameter.
The city Of shawano contains
traces of one Of the largest mound
groups in the northeastern part Of the
state. A group Of 30 or more mounds
was situated Mt the terminus Of Green
Bay street. Many of these have been
destroyed by the tilling Of fields and
leveling Of streets.

GRIM GAS BATTLES FOUGHT
Asphyxiating Shells Fired In Great
Quantities by Both Sides in Strug-
giles on British Front.

Andre Tudesq, writing of the battles
on the British front, says there was
such an expenditure of asphyxiating
shells one day that six hours after the
last deluge of them suffocating smells
were still passed through.
Lavish expenditure of gas on both
sides form a characteristic of the fu-
rious attacks and counter-attacks
which have been delivered day and
night round these two villages. The
mask is here dis precious as the
grenade or the rife.
AS in a frightful carnival, in the
manner of Edgar Allan Poe, one could
see in the night on the slopes west of
FresnOy entire regiments in masks,
fighting and killing each other in the
midst of black vapors, which were
rendered more fantastic by the light Of
the moon.
The hand-to-hand struggle thus took
on most singular forms. Throwing
away their arms the combatants would
fly at each other throats and try to
tear. away each others masks. Few
prisoners were taken In these encoun-
tiers, and the wounded are fewer still.
Death alone receives the lions share"

Swedish Drill,

They were in the squad under train
Ing at a certain military center who
furnished a contrast not uncommon
these days. One was tall and wiry,
and other short and puffy, and an hour
of Swedish drill had set the lesser of
the two blowing hard.
II can't stand much of this" he
whispered. "Fm simply all out" and
at that moment the drill sergeant in
timated that he would give them an
ether spell before they dismissed.
This was too much. The podgy pa
triot felt 1t was time to protest.
I'm really awfully sorry to seem I'M

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,
DOESN'T HURT A BIT!
No fooIishness! Lift your corns
and calluses off with fingers
It's like magic!

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
apply upon the corn a few drops of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get a small
bottle of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet Of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
1t is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while ap-
plying it or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many of our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

"HUS wrote Thomas Jefferson for
the Continental congress in the
= famous Declaration of Independ-
ence. 1t was signed at Independence
hall, Philadelphia, July 4, 1776. With
the pealing of old Liberty bell that
summer day the birth of a new nation
was announced. Like her sturdy sons,
that nation was conceived in hardship.
Her heritage of devotion to principle
was the noblest gift brought by the
Mayflower. Innate courage grew fear
less In the face of constant danger,
and her sons grew skillful by constant
toll. They craveds not courtier favors
but demanded the right to develop
along the lines of new democracy the
nation then born. Contact with the
wilderness had taught them that
Ills as easy to be heroes as to sit the idle
slaves
OF legendary virtue carved upon our faith
ers graves.
For them to be convinced was as
though the thing had been decreed of
God. They were convinced and they
proclaimed their birthright by declar-
Ing their independence and then fight
ing for 1t against one of the proudest,
strongest nations of the earth.
Nation Wholly Worthy.
1t was inevitable that such begin
ming should produce nation of stall
warts. What they lacked in knightli-
ness they made up In manliness. De-
yotion to principle left no room for
compromise with policy. The result was
people chosen by fitness for great
place In the economy of the worlds
progress.
At this season we celebrate the an
niversary of the nations birth. The
l40 anniversaries since then have not
all been to our credit. We have turned
from the serious to the frivolous, the
national birthday has become carni-
val. In the name of patriotism all
kinds of follies have been permitted.
Instead of real honor to the nation The
day has been made an occasion 1or
gain. People have made for themselves
hardship in vain attempt to have
more noise than their neighbors make.
Fitting Celebrations.
But we rejoice in the change to be
noticed In the way of observing the
nations birthday. People are begin
uing to see that noise is not patriotic
and that the youth of the present need

When he was a sergeant and was

for his famous navvies' battalion his
method of imparting instruction
though not always according to the
