baESA more about the
history ofrhis coun-
try during the G ON ing
months. And he's going to
be absorbing that knowledge
daily-every time he gets
ready to mail a letter, in fact.
For the United States Post
Office department has begun
issuing some new stamps,
known as the. Arny-Navy
series, which bear the por-
traits of heroes in both arms
of the service, some of whom
have never before been thus
honored.
All of these are oblong in
shape and, in addition to the
portraits of our military and
naval heroes shown in ovals
at the left and right of the
stamp, they show in the CEN
ter a view of some patriotic
shrine or some historic Amer
lean scene. For instance,
the new one cent army stamp,
placed on sale for the first
time on December Is, bore a
view of Mount Vernon, the
home Of George Washington,
with portraits of Washington
and Gen. Nathaniel Greene,
of Revolutionary war fame
in the ovals. The new one
cent navy stamp showed por-
traits of John Paul Jones,
com m ander of the Bon
Homme Richard, and John
Barry, commander of the
Lexington, our two outstand-
ing sea captains during the
Revolution and between them
a picture of typical warships
of that period.

PEELED to resign on account of Ill
health. When General Crook was
sent with a commission in 1889
to make an agreement with the
Indians for the sale of their lands,
Hollow Horn Bear was chosen
by the Sioux as their speaker,
since he was considered by his
people to be their best orator.
Friend of Presidents.
In later years he became a
well-known figure in Washington
where he went frequently on mis-
sions to the t'Great White Faith
err and he had a personal ac-
quaintance with every President
for more than three decades.
He was a member of the Sioux
delegation which called upon
President Harrison in 1891 to
discuss with. him the future
status of the Sioux who had taken
part in the Ghost Dance up
rising in 1890-9t. After riding in
President Roosevelt's inaugural
parade in 1905 Hollow Horn Bear,
accompanied by four 9th er
chiefs, Geronimo of the Apach-
es, Quanah Parker of the Co
manches, American Horse of the
.Ogallala Sioux and Little Plume
of the Blackfeet, was presented
to Roosevelt by Commissioner
Leupp.
He saw President Taft become
the tbig chief in 1909. In Feb
ruary 1918 when ground was:
broken for the national Indian
Memorial at Fort WadsWorth. on.
Staten Island, L. l., Hollow Horn
Bear was the leader of the -29
Indian chiefs, who took part in
the dedication exercises. Presi-
dent Taft broke the ground for
the memorial and as he stepped
back, Hollow Horn Bear came
from the group of:
chiefs and upturned a second
bit of earth using a thigh bone of
a buffalo for a spade. Then he
made a speech in reply. to the
address of the President. ~ =.
From New York the Sioux chief
went to Washington to be present
at the Inauguration Of President
Wilson. During this visit he called

the South where it was regarded
as evidence that official Washing

the fact, which historians long
ago recognized, that Lee and
jackson were two of the greatest
soldiers IN the history of this

and then let it soak in.--Things are
running so smoothly around here
that it is about time that somebody
got mad at us. Who'll be the first?
There is a line of demarkation,
between the practical, and the i'm
practical as we all learn by exper-
fence. 1t seems to us that the Ma
rietta centennial commission is right
up to that line,-the plan of having
OK teams start from Ipswich, Mass,
Dec 3, and journey across the coun-
try to some point on the head wa
ters of the Ohio river, and float in a
barge (The Adventure) to Marietta
in commemoration of the first SET
tlement there. OF course it would
be great undertaking and maybe
they can keep the oxen shOd, or sup
piled with boots, and it would be
something of a remarkable pageant
to behold, but many would eXclaim.
Don't you pity those poor oxen?''
1t seems to us that a more humane
way, under our present road condl-
tions, would be to give some taxi
dermist job of stuffing some
boyines and have them hitched to
the conestoga wagons and the
whole aggregation mounted on mo-
tor trucks 1t would save lot of
bull-whackin' and very likely tor
rents of profanity, and all that, but
it's the commission funeral.--W

piping carbon monoxide fumes
into an automobile from the ex-
haust line, Mrs. Marguerite M.
Reeves, wife, of P. w. Reeves, Of
Washington, and Edward A. King,
of Baltimore. were battling for
their lives here today at a hos
pital.
They were found unconscious in
the automobile yesterday. The
gasoline supply Of their car had
been exhausted. A note found in
Mrs. Reeves bag stated:
IF this act constitutes sin,
may God forgive us. We have
been prosecuted too much, and
we are tired. We want to be Gre
mated together and our ashes
left together in a quiet place"
King, who has wife and three
children in Baltimore, was sched-
uled to appear at an extradition
hearing in Tallahassee. His wife
had charged him with desertion
and non-support after he had been
discovered in Miami with Mrs.
Reeves.
Reeves had sued his wife for di-
vorce, naming King as correspond

Representative Ralph Elise (R0
