Up TO HISTORICAL SOCIETIES.
IPella Chronicle.


The Charlton Leader tells Of trip
TO three old veterans OF the civil war
to Des Moines that they might play
the fife and drum music Of those days
for reproduction on phonosraph re-
cords for the State Historical Depart
ment. That is a thing that might well
be done in many communities for the
preservation Of the voices of the
pioneers. There are living in Pella
few people who have been here
since the foundation Of the Holland
colony and one woman at least who
was here in 1S43. when the country
was first opened for settlement.
These people. it is true, were all very
young in the earliest days, but their
recollection reaches further back than
that Of anyone else now living. and
1t would be worth while to preserve
their spoken words Of description of
pioneer days. The county holds
meeting or reunion Of old settlers
every year and Photographic records
of the "reminiscences ought to be made.
If this had been done ten years ago
we might have had for all time rec
ord of the words OF men and women
who were active in conquering the
wilderness from the beginning, but
they are gone We do have yet those
who were children in the early times,
and they can tell us interesting things
we'll worth preserving in this manner.

TAPTAIN ELISHA had been pretty

his visit to young Dunn at the lat

perhaps not gracefully or uncondition-
ally, but he had surrendered, and the
condition-secrecy-w one which the
captain himself had suggested.
Captain Elisha found some solace
and forgetfulness Of the unpleasant
life he was leading in helping the
stricken Moriarty family. Annie, the
maid at the apartment, he swore to
secrecy She must not tell Miss Caro-
line of his visits to her parents home.

understand why, promised silence. Car

"All right. If expense is necessary
don't be afraid of 1t. You do just what
you ought to and send the bill to me-"
"But Miss Warren insisted upon my
sending 1t to her. She said 1t was a
private matter and one with which you
as her guardian had nothing to do"

When Mrs. Corcoran Dunn made her
daily visit to the Warren apartment
that afternoon she found Caroline
alone and almost in tears. Captain
Elisha had broken the news at the ia
BILE during luncheon, after which he
went downtown. Stephen, having raw

spondingly miserable, had departed for
the club. 1t was time for conf

tied that fact. She soothed, comfort

learned that a possible five hundred

family's pecuniary resources.

Caroline. "Oh, Mrs. Dunn, you won't

"Worse! Oh, Mrs. Dunn, how could
