Son of Pioneers
Miller was a native of st. Paul.
His parents were among the early
Negro settlers who came to the
city before the Civil War in which
Miller's father fought. The Miller
home in which young Charles was
born stood at Fifth and Robert
Streets, the present site of the
Empire Bank Building. Later the
family lived for many years in a
home on Fourth Street where the
st. Paul Public Library now stands.
Was Athlete
AS a youth Miller was active in
athletics at Mechanic Arts High
school where he played catcher on
the schools first baseball team.
He had a good voice and for sew
eral years sang with various Cath
ole groups. He was versatile in
music and played drums in the
early Hilyard Orchestra which en-
tertained at parties of the elite on
Summit Avenue during the early
days of St. Paul's Society life.
Served as Deputy Sheriff
Miller had a varied employment
career in his early life, but since
1907 he has worked for the County
of Ramsey. During that year he
became sheriff. In 1909 he joined
the custodial staff at the Court
house where he was employed at
the time of his death.
During the years Miller partici-
pated fully in the civic, religious
and fraternal life of St. Paul. For
AZ years he was a member of the
TSTC club. He belonged to many
organizations among them the
NAACP of which he was an Or
ganizer, the Urban League, the
DYWYK Of which he was the only
male member and other civic and
social groups. At the time of his
death he was also affiliated with
Mars Lodge of Odd Fellows, and
Biddle Circle of which he was an
honorary member.
He served as secretary of the
stewards board at st. James AME
church from 1918 to the day of
his death. An outstanding layman
in the North Western Conference
of the AME church, he gained
distinction as perennial chairman
of the resolutions committee of
that conference. He was a favorite
of the church ministry. Many men,
women and children were the bene-
ficiaries of gifts from his. hand
and ready purse.

Uncle Ruy's Corner

In Asia Minor there used to be
a city called Chalcedon and it be-
came well known because certain
type of stone was found around 1t.
The stone had thin layers Of differ
ent colors or shades and was given
the name of "chalcedony" In honor
Of the city of Chalcedon.
The same name is used to this day
but several kinds of chalcedony have
special names. Among these are
onyx and agate.
The Greeks knew little about such
stone until after the time Of Alex
ander the Great. That noted general
invaded Asia Minor and died while
he was away from his native land.
Many of his soldiers, however, re-
turned to Macedonia and Greece
and told about things they had seen.
From that time onward this stone
was mined and taken to Greece.
The Greeks used 1t to make canoes.
Canoes are gems with raised fig
ures" carved on them. True canoes
of ancient times were cut from onyx,
agate or sardonyx.
Romans, as well as Greeks, took
an interest in cameo cutting. They
made figures of many kinds, some

times portraits, by cutting through
layers of stone.
One valuable cameo dates back to
Nero, Roman Emperor. 1t is S
inches wide and 6 inches high and
bears images of a man and q woman.
These images are believed to be
portraits Of Nero and his wife
Agrippina.
A cameo cutter can bring out an
image very well. A. dark layer OF
onyx may serve for the outline of
a mans hair. A lighter layer may
show his face and a third layer,
also dark, can be used as back
ground. The layers may be pink,
brown, red or some other shade.
With passing Of time other things
besides stone have been used for
making canoes. These include shells
with layers which remind us of onyx
layers. We also have imitation
canoes made Of glass which was
poured into molds while 1t was In
melted state.
The work of cutting fine canoes
calls for skill.

such active creatures, they must
eat often.
To a certain extent, these squir-
rels hibernate through the hardest
days of winter. But under the snow
they have great bins Of food laid
by. They can travel under the
hard white crust forming a roof
above them, and need not fear foe
or hunger.
In the summer, they do not hesi-
tate to appropriate the nests of
songbirds In low bushes and treeS.
At this time, they have a yearnirg
for fresh tender meat or fresh
eggs.
But they will build a cozy little
apartment for their babies. They
lay a founda ton of twigs among
the branches and use soft grass
for the outside OF the ball-like
room and thistledown and feathers
for the inside. The infants are
naked and very tender, so their
mother sees that a soft downy
comfort keeps them snug and warm
until they have a fur coat of their
own.
In captivity, these mice enjoy
everything offered them. They
chatter in a low cheerful voice
among themselves, and they become
very tame and familiar-very famil-
lar. They even pick your pockets.
