Thos. M. Callahan was at Newland yesterday when the human bones were being dug from the ground on the Hammond Keneazer farm. He brought several of the bones into town with him, carrying them in a paper sack. o The bones he brought were the lower jaw and part of an upper jaw, most of the teeth being in the jaws<. He said that there were apparently three skeletons, at least three skulls, 'but many of the bones were decayed and they fell into pieces when struck by the shovels of the diggers. Quite a number of people secured some of the bones. It seems quite certain that the bones were thoge of Indians. The finding of the arrow heads strengthens the belief, and no old settler in that part of the county recalls that bodies were ever buried there.

CEDAR LAKE ROMANCE FOOLED THE OFFICERS
Auto and Woman Played Part ir Separating Tony Heizler and Wife—Toby a Bluffer.
Crown Point Star. The climax in the closing chapter of a long and thrilling story, if even a portion of it be true, with the scene of the plot laid at Cedar Lake, with the time’ extending through the summer season at than resort, was reached last Monday: when the chief character connected w±th-.Lhe storyT^Tany-dletzler—at-tempted to take his life, or rather made a bluff at if, but failed to do himself any bodily injury. He accomplished one thing, however, that of scaring the inhabitants of thg north end of the lake to such an extent that the whole force of the. sheriffs office, including Sheriff Whittaker, Deputy Friendly and Clem Hentches, and Dr. Farley were called to the scene of the supposed ending of Tony’s career under a bridge near his home. The iutroductory s tory starts out as most stories do nowadays, with an automobile and a woman being the chief characters, and it had an ending similar to one of Lincoln Carter’s four act dramas—full of sensations with a thrill at every turn, with considerable of the beginning chapters omitted, being hardly suitable for publication. At any rate the earlier chapters were the starting of Tony’s idea of taking his life, and finally resulting, it is said, of unbalancing his mind to a great degree. Woven into the story is a chapter relative to Tony’s wife leaving him, going to her parents’ home to live, and refusing to return, and a few days ago -he attempted to kidnap his son, who was in poscession of the wife, and failing in thia. after, a. sensation attempt, threatened to end his trouble. He came to Crown Point and asked advice as to how he could recover his son from the wife’s possession, and was instructed that possession was nine points of the law and if he could, get possession of the child by kidnaping he could possibly hold him under the eircumtances. The attempt was made, and the boy was successfully captured and placed in the machine, but the wife’s interference just as the auto was started thwarted the attempt. Failing is this Tony secured a revolver and caused great excitement in the neighborhood when he fired several shots, supposedly at himself but they all landed in the ceiling of the room. In the next chapter Tony was found under a bridge with a razor lying beside him. His father made the discovery and telephoned the sheriff’s office and Dr. parley, who started for the scene posbhaste, and found Tony had not injured himself in the least, but begged the sheriff to take care of-bim. ;

The Hard Workers.
The nervous breakdown of the British premier overwork has started an inquiry by London newspapers as to the number of hours during which persons of various occupations find It necessary to labor. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman was accustomed to work 15 hours a day. Cabinet members. It was found, enjoy less leisure than any other class, plyrejeians and newspaper men coming next in the scale of Industry. The average clergyman, alpo, has little time to call his own. The extensive inquiry was not necessary to show that intellectual workers are compelled to work longer than those who work only with their hands. Eight or 10, hours comprise the working day oi the manual laborer, while it is not uncommon for intellectual workers to keep at their task for 12 or 14 hours daily. It is noticeable that the London iavestlgatoraeonfined their Inquiry to masculine workers. -That is typically British. They did not consider the woman at home who cooks and sweeps and washes, who dresses and undresses half a dozen children, makes and repairs their clothes, does the marketing, keeps the household accounts and her temper, and makes a husband walk in the straight and narrow way. To her a 12-hour day would seem like the beginning of the rest cure. Her daily work is a most trying combination of the mental and the physical. The compilers of figures to show who are doing the work of the world should make sure that their statistics are complete.
Morals and Method.
This difference between the scienafter all the difference also tween the original and the commonplace; the distinction between morals and sinfulness. “You can teach a man logic,’* said a philosopher once, “but you can’t make him think.” Also you can obviously teach a man the science of medicine without making of him a physician; a healer. If theology and society correlated each other there would he fewer tears for the backslider and the certain knowledge that “all sin is vain” has armed but precious few of us against temptation. It Is easier to give counsels of perfection for the benefit of our friends than it is for us to achieve even a respectable mediocrity In matterk of our own conduct; and the world, particularly the world of America, would avoid many disappointments if it commenced with the admission that human nature is very frail and most fortunate if it even approximates the ideals of democracy. “Why can we not,” said a cheerful cynic as he watohed some acrobats performing, “why can we not teach and acquire morals as these people acquire their skill. ’ And here and there some one of us does. But for the rest there is the lucky chance that we may escape being as bad as sometimes we have felt like being and the healthful humility of remembering that even our father Adam surrendered much that was his for the thing that was denled -
“Speeding Up."
«Itis idle, to criticise at large. the American business man’s habit of overwork. But a single aspect of this ruinous habit merits comment. The American business man does not want money itself. He wants to “get there”, to “get VBere’> for his own sake, for his wifes sake, his family’s sake. The full price of “getting there”he does not always calculate. The man who works fast, many hours a day, six or seven days a week, Is not merely paying in sheer energy to “get there.” He eats too much, possibly drinks too much, does not take exercise, but he pays in more than physical detriment. He is doing more than ill-treating his body in a way as he would never dream of ill-treat-ing his automobile or his factory dynamo. Above everything else, the American business man is “getting there,” at the expense of life itself and of its large and rich experience. —Chicago Post.
One Billion Dollars.
Over one billion dpllars in gold is now in the United States Treasury. This is one-Bixth of all the gold In the world, the most that was ever gathered together anywhere. And besides the treasury gold there is half as much more In banks and In circulation. No other country has as much gold. France which is next to the United States, has one-third less. Great Britain and Ireland have little more than hall as much as France. Russia has more than England and almost as much as Germany. This amouni of gold Is sufficient to give every working man S6O. It is sufficient to meet all the payrolls of the United States. One gold ingot i,s worth more than che average man’s life’s savings.
