isn't any news to the Irishmen in the

the occasion. We would like to be-
lieve that everyone wearing these to-
kens was wearing it in honor Of his
native country but the "maps" of
some of them lead us to believe that
they came a long way from Erin.

life, Quasei, the medicine man, en-

Ouanah's mother was Cynthia Ann
Parker, a white woman who had been
captured by his father Nokoni, "The
Wanderer," in 1885, when she was only
twelve years old. She bore him three
children, two sons and a daughter.
A son born in 1916 was given the name
Kwaini, fragrant" When friends Of
the Parker family visited the Comanche
camp to persuade her to return to
civilization she said, Il am happy with
nv husband and children. l have no
desire to be anything but an Indian"
In 1860 Texas Rangers under Gov.
L. S. Ross attacked the Comanche
camp. killed Nokoni and captured
Cynthia Ann Parker and her two
year-old daughter. The sons escaped.
When the "White Indian" was re-
stored to her people, it brought her
no joy for she mourned necessarily
for the Indian camp and especially for
her sons. Soon afterwards, during
council with the Comanches, some
army officers told young Quanah, or
Kwaina, that his mother was still alive
and they tried to induce him to make
his home with her. It was In vain.
The boy had never known anything
but Indian life. In 1854 Cynthia. Ann
Parker died, still mourning for her son.
Quanah rose to the position Of war
chief of the COmanches and in the
war with the Southern Plains tribes
In 1874 he was the last to surrender.
When he did he encouraged his people
In travelling the white mans road.
In his last years Quanah brought
his mothers body from Texas and
buried it near his home. Then he
worked increasingly to have a suitable
memorial erected over the grave, Final
ly congress appropriated $1,000 for that
purpose and two weeks before Quanah
died the monument was built. The
body of Quanah, the CHIEF Of the Com.
anches, was buried nearby, and the
white mother and her Indian son were
reunited at last.

Denatured Alcohol.

Denatured alcohol is grain alcohol
made unfit for use as beverage.
Completely denatured alcohol Is made
by adding ten gallons of wood alcohol
and a half gallon of benzine to 100
gallons of ethyl alcohol. This Is free
from government tax and may be
bought by any one FOR use as fuel or
light.
The denaturing must be done when
the alcohol is produced and in bonded
warehouses used exclusively for the
purpose and for storing denatured al
cohol, and is done under the supervi-
sion of the government, according to
the law. The grain alcohol may be
made from grain, corn, potatoes or
similarly starchy products, but the
conditions under which 1t must be pro-
duced make it impracticable except
for well-equipped factories.
