In 1912 a party OF Omahans located
the grave OF Logan F'ontenelle, chief
of the Omahas. The searchers found
stones which marked the grave. The
Indian agency was transferred from
Council Bluff Fort Calhoun 102 years
ago, and it is just 100 years since
Peter Sarpy arrived in this district
to begin his great work of helping
to settle this western empire.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If. the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's SwampRoot, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store,
may be just the remedy needed to over
come such conditions

nothing to fear from this small gaunt
creature with the blazing eyes. Never
theless as he gathered up his reins ter
ror was writ large on his rubicund
face.
"Teufel! What a womanl" Was
off in clatter of wheels and hoofs on
the cobblestOnes.
Selma embarrassed swiftly. "You
stay here. Dirk. with Pom. Mother'u
be back In a minute" She marched
down the street driving the horses to
the barns where for twenty-five cents
the animals were to be housed in more
comfort than their owner.
She was back soon. Come, Dirk"
Are we going to sleep here!" He
was delighted.
Right here, all snug In the hay, like
campers"
The boy lay down, wriggling, laugh
ing. Like gypsies. Amt it, mom?
Isn't It, Dirk-nct amt it," The
school teacher.
She lay down beside him, put one
arm around him and drew him to her,
close. And Suddenly he was asleep,
deeply. The street became quieter.
The talking and laughter ceased. The
lights were dim at Chris Spanknoebers.
Selma lay looking up at the sky.
There were no tears in her eyes. She
was past tears. She thought, Here
am, Selma Peake, sleeping in q
wagon. in the straw, like a dog with
its puppy snuggled beside 1t. 1 was
going to be like 10 in Louisa Alcott's
book. How terribly long it is going to
be until morning. =. I must try
to sleep. must try to
sleep. -"
She did sleep, miraculously. As
she lay there, the child in her arms,
asleep, peace came to the haggard face,
relaxed the tired limbs Much like an
other woman who had lain in the straw
with her child in her arms almost two
thousand years before.

to the seat, yawned, smacked his lips,
rubbed his knuckles into his eyes.
Soon he was awake, and looking
about him interestedly. They turned
into the Haymarket. The wagons were
streaming in from the German truck
farms that lay to the north of Chicago
as well as from the Dutch farms that
lay to the southwest, whence Selma
came. Fruits and vegetables-tons of
it-acres of it-piled in the wagons
that blocked the historic square.
Through this little section, and South
Water street that lay to the east, passed
all the verdant growing things that fed
Chicago's millions. Something of this
came TO Selma as she Unanswered her
way through the throng. She felt a
little thrill of significance, of achieve
ment. She knew the spot she wanted
for her own. 1t was just across the
way from Chris Spanknoebels restau-
rant, rooming house, and saloon. Chris
knew her; had known Pervus for years
and his father before him; would be
kind to her and the boy in case of
need.
Dirk was wide awake now; eager,
excited. He called to the horses !;
stood up in the wagon but chung closer
to her DIS they found themselves In the
thick of the melee.
Here's good place, mother. Here
There's dog on that wagon like Pom"
Pom, hearing his name, stood up,
looked into the boys face, quivered,
wagged nervous tail, barked sharply
Down, Pom! Quiet, PomT' She did
not want to attract attention to herself
and the boy. It was still early. She
had made excellent time. Pervus had
often slept in snatches as he drove into
town and the horses had Jagged, but
Selma had urged them on tonight.
Halfway down the block Selma espied
the place she wanted. From the oppo-
site direction came a truck farmers
cart obviously making for the same
stand. For the first time that night
