MODERN USE OF AN INDIAN GAVE This prehistoric cave, illustrated in next column, discovered on the Conatser farm, in Fentress County, Tennessee, has today been turned into practical use for the present generation as a shelter or barn for cattle, of which it easily holds 100 head. Pure spring water falls from a rock into a basin, in a shady grove below, providing for the thirsty cows. By a freak of rock formation, a natural hay pit is provided, into which a load of hay, driven onto the rock, may be easily dumped from above, requiring little labor for what is usually a considerable job, feeding a large herd of cattle. Talking freely to me, a sympathetic woman listener, of some of the ailments from which she had suffered, Mrs. Conatser told me of her experience with Cardui, the Woman’s Tonic, at a critical period of her life, and gave me permission to pubIfeh the true statement of her experience, which is printed with this article.

farm, pointing out things and places of interest and conversing freely about eventful items in their life and history. The Conatser home nestles in a picturesque spot, amid the hills of Fentress County, a cool and pleasant resting place after the hot and dusty trip from Jamestown. A few steps from the house, the crystal waters from a cool spring trickle over a rock, furnishing a refreshing drink for wayfarers like myself. Under the rock, forming a natural refrigerator, was kept the family milk, butter and cream. Some of the latter was requisitioned by our host? and we went to the house, where we enjoyed a good dish of home-grown berries and real country cream. On a well-kept farm like this, living expenses do not seem to be high, for, as Mrs. Conatser explained, there is an abundance of fresh butter, milk, cheese, honey, chickens, berries of all kinds, vegetables and fruit, to be had as wanted. Mr. Conatser is a descendent of the American Conatsers, who fought in the

War of Independence. In 1780, one of these Conatsers fought against the British troops in the battle of King’s Mountain, North Carolina, carrying through the fight a powder horn which became an heirloom of the family and was finally presented to the late President McKinley, who wrote a letter of thanks, saying he regarded it as one of his most prized souvenirs. This part of Tennessee formed, at one time, as is well known, one of the favorite hunting grounds of several of the aboriginal tribes, chiefly the Cherokees, one of the Five Nations of Iroquoian stock, made famous by Fenimore Cooper. All of these tribes were agricultural, and were noted for their large communal houses, palisaded towns, and ability to organize. The Cherokees were the only Indians who invented an alphabet of their own, of 84 characters, which is still in use, and in which they now have their own printed newspapers and books. The tribe, today, is settled, with others, in what is known as the Indian Reservation, in Oklahoma. Knowing something, as 1 do, of the history of the American aborigines, it was extremely interesting to me to find on the Conatser farm an immense cave, hollowed out of solid rock, which had evidently been used as a tomb by a body of this tribe of Indians. For many years the rock had been unnoticed, except as a landmark, surrounded by cultivated fields on the Conatser farm, but one day it occurred to Mr. Conatser to make some practical use of the cave, and he proceeded to open it up and investigate. Finding the floor covered deep with ashes, he began to dean the ashes away. Discovering that the ashes were valuable as fertilizer, he utilized hundreds of loads for fertilizing his farm land. While digging and loosening the ashes, several skeletons and relics were found, which, upon examination, proved to be these of prehistoric Indians. One well-preserved skeleton was that of a man, who had been laid tc rest with a piece of flint under his head. Another skeleton, much smaller, was thought to be that of a girl. With this was discovered a terrapin shell bowl, in which was a spoon carved from a mussel shell. Many flint w eapons, such as arrow and spear heads, were found in the ashes and in crevices of the rocks, also pestle-shaped rocks for pounding grain into m,eal, and sharp, blade-shaped flints, for dressing hides. Several of these relics were kindly given me by the Conatsers, to carry away as a souvenir of my visit
