In loving remembrance of my dear son,
Norman Vandome, who departed this life
February II, 1919:
Five years have passed since that sad
day
When my dear boy was called so sudden
~ away.
l can see your dear face before me,
And the last sweet look you gave me
Still fingers in my mind.
My heart still aches for you, dear Nor
man;
Your loss I will, forever. feel
l know that you are watching and wait
ing for me,
And that some day, dear Norman, we
will all meet again
Where parting is no more.
Sadly missed by his lonely mother

IN MEMoRIAM

In memory of my wife and our mother
Mary A. Walls, who passed away Febru
airy 9th, 1923:
Just one year today,
Our dear mother passed away.
Seems so strange with her away.
Loneliness and vacancy,
Where such gladness used to be.
Everything about the place,
MournS a mothers absent face.
Seems so strange for it is true.
Mother never wanted to leave,
Her home or have us go.
For she loved the old home so.
Dear old mother always thought,
Home was just the dearest spot,
Yet she never seemed to know.
That her presence made it so.
Still we part for but a day,
Soon we, too. shall go the way
OF all mOrtals every breath,
Brings us nearer, nearer death.
Nearer to that final state
Where death can not separate.
There, she'll meet us with her smile,
Sweet and gentle-afterwhile.

ANCIENT INDIAN MINERS.
Their Method Of Working Copper
Deposits Of Lake Superior Region.

Their Method Of Working Copper
Deposits Of Lake Superior Region.
The copper mines in the Lake Su-
perior region were most important to
the Indians. When we remember
that they did not understand the
smelling Of ores We can appreciate
the value Of these mines. In them
the native metal occurs both in small
pieces and great masses. The Indiana
had only to dig away the earth and
smash the rocks with stones, some Of
which they provided with groove
and attached to a handle by means
of wtthe around the groove.
Archaelogists have found that they
also built fires upon the rocks and ,
thus cracked them that they might
more easily be smashed with ham,
mers. One piece Of copper propped
upon poles over fifteen feet below
the surface of the ground was found
by explorers where it had been aban-
doned by the Indian quarrymen.
Weighing almost three tons, 1t was
a monument to the industry of the ,
North American Indians, who have
too often been considered lazy. ard
who. we must remember. had only
the simplest tools with which to raise
this heavy mass. One of their shafts, I
which contained q mass Of copper
Weighing several tons, was twenty
six feet deep and the mass Of copper
had been raised several feet. probably
the only means the Indians had OF
moving 1t being wedges and sticks. !
These were exceptionally deep
shafts, many others teing smaller

A Kentucky Problem.

II is q question with some which is
the cheaper and safer, a mule or an
automobile. The mule must have
corn. hay, oats or grass. He may in
the meantime get to buck jumping
and land you in the middle of a mud
hole or on top of a pile of rocks,
The automobile eats nothing but
gasolene and when at rest is as
harmless as a cat But when It gets
to runaing it goes at 1t blind and is
liable to want to climb telephone

and automobiles are really both

$4,000 Cigar Bands.

The hobbies Of the rich collectors

These had cost him fifty years of
smoking and had been arranged
Systematically in a number of
specially constructed cabinets. None

was decided to sell the bands.
