Joined the Union Forces. Leaving
his wife and son In September OF
1850 to fight for the preservation
of the States. He was killed May
7, 1861.
At the time of his fathers death
Timothy was thirteen. This un.
timely loss of his father left Tim
a large responsibility. At this
age though Tim was a fine speci.
man of youthful pioneer stock.
He was then about five.foot ten
tall and with plenty of time to
grow. He weighed about one hun.
dred twenty pounds and gave
the impression of wiry. symmet.
rically muscled strength rather
than lankiness even with his long
arms and legs. With clean-cut
features Tim was a handsome
youth. His hair was light brown,
his nose straight, mouth the gen.
erous Watson type above the
family's indomitable jaw. The in.
herent steadiness of mind and
habit were already apparent
from the habitually earnest ex.
preston of his well set large,
blue eyes.
At school Tim was out In front
of most of the boys and girls of
his age. His parents who had
both acquired more than ordin.
ary education took great interest
In their sons training. Many
evenings. by candlelight. were
spent by Tim with either his
father or mother while they
taught him the three RS and
many other things which they
knew he would need to know
when he was out in the world
alone.
Tim loved his mother very
much just as he loved his father.
To him there were no better. At
thirteen he did not fully realize
what q real friend and pal he
had lost. However. he resolved
to care for his mother and told
her 50 In such q reassuring man.
ner that she was rightly proud
Of her only son. Tins father had
always taught him that "A prom.
ise made was . debt unpaid"
That promise to his mother was
not idle talk. He didn't make
promises just to be talking. His
fathers teaching would remain
with him always. Now that Tim
was master of the farm and with
his mothers help and advice they
did we'll enough to make a living
during the first two years.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
 By OLAF HALVERSON

Neptune revolves once in 165 years at 30 times the earth's dis tance from the sun. The planet is always invisible to the naked eye. Through telescope it looks like an 9th magnitude star. Its tiny disk shows no markings.
 This planet is 28,000 miles in diameter being equal in size to Uranus. Like the other three giant planets it has an extensive atmosphere. In the spectrum, methane absorption is conspicu- ous. It rotates from west to east once in 1858 hours.
 Neptune has two known satel- lites. The brighter one is longer than the moon, and it's distance from the planet is slightly less than the moons distance from the earth. It revolves from east to west, contrary to the direction of the planets rotation. The second one is much smaller and more dis tant from the planet. It revolves from west to east.
