FRONT STREET ' — Monoquet. If you will go with me to the south end of Tippecanoe Lake, from where the Tippecanoe river takes its - start, and go down stream about four miles, on the north bank we will find the village of Monoquet. Thfe Monoquet of the present is one thing, and the village of 1834 was another, and it was peopled by a different race. At that time there w-as no bridge across the river, and the clear bright stream had not been checked by a mill dam. The inhabitants of the village w-ere Pottawatomies and their chief was Monoquet, from whom the village got its name. Just west of where state ro d 15 now crosses the rives, were some famous springs. The Indians made friends with the white folks. Here James Hav. k kept a grocery. His friendship and sociabili.y made it the travelers pleasure to pay him a call. It is said the village contained about r 5 haik covered wigwams which were scattered over three acres of ground. The villi ge was longest •n the north b nk of the river. There was no iegi.l -r streets an 1 the wigwams here and tl.e.e .ike forest trees. The the white man had been fixed on the’village while .t wss yet in the possession of the ed men. Soon after the Indi ns quit the village it passed into the hands of men who pl nned to build a great city with mills and warehouses instead of wigwams. After many yeais the hamlet did not grow* o need a great and monstrous title, and still has its old Indian name. The Chief Monoquet w s a thin man, about 5v years of age and was 5 feet 7 inches tall, his foiehead was high and square, and his eyes small and bright. His voice w.s clear and sharp. Tradition says, on w arm Sundays in the fall of 1835 he wore a lUitied shirt made of blue calico reaching midway down his thighs, i his feet were clad in moccasins. It is said he died of lung trouble, but rum r in the tribe said he was poisoned by a young and h ndsome [squaw. On d visit, from Michigan : she was killed ’by some of the young Indians. About 80 rods south of Monoquet was a deep shaded spot in the woods. From- here the Indians carried their dead chief, performed their funeral rites after the manner of the tribe, in a crib pen six feet long, and four feet high built of round logs. The op wis covered with logs also. They placed the remains of the chief in the crib, fitting him in a sitting position, with his blanket over his shoulders, his face to th* south. He was held in position by two poles across the inside of the crib. One pole wrs under his chin to hold the head in an upright position another lower down, holding the; hands in place. a - - said he saw Monoquet in this position, when he had ’been there 30 days. He was in the woods alone and saw' the de; d chief. He said the ghastly form seemed to grin at him like a mute, a horrid lesson on the conclusion of human i life. UNCLE LEW. DIES IN CROMWELL Mrs. J. T. Riddle went to Crom- J well, Monday, called there by the death of her brother’s wife, Mrs. J. F. Moore. Funeral services for Mrs. Moore,’ who Bad been ill for several weeks before she died, Sunday-, were held Tuesday afternoon.

RomOttrKeAderr s~,;"”a . The following letter from his brother, J. A. Kitson, of Montrose, Calif., was received hst Thursday by Ben Kitson. The letter describes the recent flood disaster out there. “ “Your letter leceived. Very gla<| to hear from you. 1 know you want to hear about the flood here in this valley. Tongue can never tell half the story. “We are hearing every day newthings. The other day a man’s body was found floating in the ocean. He had lost his life here, 35 miles away. It is estimated from 800 to 1,000 lives w-ere lost. Some of the missing have not been found yet. Eighty houses were totally destroyed, 40 partly wrecked. - • “The sand and water entered Long Beach, 26 miles away, because of the flood. “Fire in’ November burned all the brush end trees oft the mount'ins nor;h of us and a heavy r in, a cloud burst finished the job. It rained almost 16 inches in 4 hours. Sixteen inches is the r infall usually for thq, entire sersen. “Everj thing in the valley could have taken e. re of the r. infall if the cloud burst had not taken place. The cloud struck the side of the mountain and vll the water ran down into the vi Hey. Six blocks west of us, the wa er was 15 feet deep. It was 1 idened with s nd, trees debris, rocks from the size of your fist to boulders weighing 20 tons. The flood there look everything in the v ay. There the rush 1 s ed only 15 minutes. At our place it lasted three hours. *'The water here was six feet deep, laden with everything, but were not so large. We at vsh t moment we would bp swept away.. If we had had go’ne out into the florid we would have been, as some were on our street. “People all around us lost their lives, their homes, their all. A man and f mily with nightclo hes only, climbed a tree by the door and saw everything go but their house. The night was quite cool and they were wet and up that tree for three hours. ‘ People across the street lost their lives. We hrd retired abuot 10 p.,m. and at 11:50 heard loud talking across the street. Mr. Miller came over and told us to run for our lives. Ella said, where could we go? I said we will stay in the house and test God’s promise. He promised to take care of his own. If we had stepped out, it would have been sure death. Not a hair of our head was molested. “About three gallons of water entered the house. We mopped that up as it came in. A large boulder came within two feet of the hodse. North of the house, sand, stone and wreckage is four feet deep. All of our nice orchard but two trees, and all the grapes, I had to dig out. AH our

Exhaustive investigations recently seem to have established this law’ of' nature: The older a man is when his son is born, tie mo»e brain-power the son will have. Thousands of historical cases uniformly support the rule, with no worthy exceptions. The rgore ripe the father, the riper the son’s capacity— that- is inferred. Colonel Lindbergh had a father 43 years old at Lindy’s birth—and a young mother. The American average is below 30, so Lindbergh is well and Ms progress is not an accident at all. IhoYrras A. Edison.

leaders, each had a father 43 years old at their birth. From them we can see what service the mellowed years of experience may bring from the Colonel, who is still but 32 years old last week. « This scientific theory finds much corroboration in the findings of the federal bureau of' education, which [ I notice was mentioned in The Journal by Arthur Brisbane in his usual weekly column. The bureau says that 3,000,000 American adults have only the intelligence of a 12-yei r-old child. They are all much below “average” Americans. 40,000,000 other adults have a 17-year-old intelligence. 10,000,000 others are “23-year-olds,” all of them “average” or less. This leaves only about 16,500,000 American adults, who possess all of our superior mentality and genius. Why is this so? • . ... The U. S. census shows that over 50 per cent of dur adults were born to fathers under 30. All of these are below “aver ge” in brain-pow’er, ac- , cording to both the educational bu--1 rueau findings and the “Age of the f ther” theory. 15 per cent to 25 per cent more, are born of fathers 30 to I's, containing the “average-to-good average” intelligence. Again the balance is reduced to 16,500,000 adults. Apd both theories assign to these men and women the full quota of superior mentality and genius of dur people. Thus, one theory supports the other. Is such agreement ...ust an accident? The mor. I is, we should all of us choose our parents and grandparents more carefully next time—if we want to be what we would like ourselves to be.
