Address, Route 3 WM. M. CARROLL Lawyer EVERYONE agreed that although Martin Duke might have been unlucky In love, his wife was said to'have died of alcoholism one year after the birth of Jeanne, fate had apparently . attempted to atone by way of the unanimous loveliness of body; mind, and spirit of liis three daughters. , - They were all blpnd, and of a certain quality of reckless beauty that had distinguished their father in his* youth, hut each am® every one of them endowed with tbe stabilities as love of hom$ and desire for family, which at fl-rst blush deemed paradox-, leal tci their brilliant kind of youth. , Jiarian, the middle one of the trio, married first, when she was nineteen., Olpa, the youngest, went next. And finally Jeanne, who had exerted her prerogative of eldest daughter by assuming a sort of materialism oter her father. , Jeanne's marriage to an Important surgeon in a neighboring town; Marion's to a promising engineer who was engaged on a piece of important bridge building near the capital city of an adjoining state; and Olga's to a New York stock broker, left Martin Duke to the somewhat vast solitude of the old stone house to which 25 years ago he had brought a famous beauty for a wife, and in which the three equally beautiful offsprings had been born;"" • • - Of course the obvious happened. It was unthinkable that Martin should continue to live Imprisoned with his memories, in the huge and silent house.' He was a slender, active man, gray, but by no means an elderly father to his daughters, and while his problems were not exactly those of an old man retired from his business and bereft of interests, nevertheless .rheumatism was upon him a!nd you had to reckon in terms of a man well past his prime. -* The difficulty here was that Martin protested almost too loudly of his youth. Crippled with a cruel form of inflammation which knotted his knuckles, he nevertheless persisted^ in such activities as golf in damp weather, shoveling snow off the stoop, and walking, regardlesfe of rain, down to the Chess club in the center of the town where lfe was known as- a- crack player. . | '. . ,., . Three girls did not marry out of such a home and'away from such a father, without carrying with them a jdeei\ sense of the responsibility of. adjusting the life they had left behind. At least the three Duke girls did not. It was all very well and good for father to. protest loudly that he was Still "on the carpet" as he put it. Of course he was. That was not the point. The point wjis, that it looked had before the community and doubtless was bad, for a man well along in his sixties, to be living alone in a vast old house, while each and every one of his daughters was well able to provide him an ample and luxurious home in her own. It was the argument of public opinion that won; Probably his girls were right. Did not look well: for him tp remain on his own. Heaven knows it was not true that his daughters were negligent of him. On the contrary they were all too solicitious, but just the same, wags would wag. "There is a new-fangled old-age, .lust the same as there Is a newfangled youth," he kept protesting however.. "Men and women don't grow old as they used to. You can force me to break up the home, but don't think you are going fo succeed in thrusting me into carpet slippers." "Who wants to cast you Into carpet slippers! Of course not, father. You can accompany Ed on his hospital rounds; or Leonard down to Wall street or go with Stacey to watch the bridge construction." "Haven't the slightest Intention of-^ doing any of those things. Don't need to tag onto anybody's interests. Have plenty of my own.'" ' . "Isn't he priceless!" exclaimed the girls among themselves, unconsciously drenching him In the enormous patronage of youth. "Why it is all Ed, or Leonard or Stacey can do, to keep4ip with him. Just as perky about his appearance as a twenty year old. Why shouldn't I feel like going out?" "Tour rheumatism--father! Ed's a doctor. He knows." "Ed may be a doctor, bat he don't know as well as I know bow my rheumatism feels. I'm going down town." In Peoria, where Stacey was busy with his bridge construction, Marian reconstructed the entire top floor of her beautiful home Into a suite which she supplied with chess board, card tables, reading stands, chair lamps, fine deep lounges and a morris chair especially constructed for her father's dimensions. "Poppycock I I don't need all this upholstered luxury. Think I'm an old bird, don't you? I'll show' you. No, I don't want to play solitaire. No, I don't need another reading lamp. I'm going down town to see what is dotog." ' * > It was the same in New York. The sweet solicitude of lovely 01 ga. Her eagerness to convert her entire apartment into a lounging den for her father. Concerns of one sort or another over his health, Admonitions against the weather. One day. with a shocking suddenness from which his daughters were not soon, to , recover, Martin took a tratfijifpr the city where they had been born; married the twenty-year-old daughter of a lifetime neighbor and set; up housekeeping in the same vafct stone bouse where he had reared his .girts." .; Alicia Is in love with ber husband, but extravagant to a degree that her stepdaughters regard as fanatical. It keeps Martin on the jump. He is hard put, as the girls put it, but ridiculously happy, trying to earn enough to gratify her love of splendor, and then nights, dancing and doing frivolities to keep in pace with youth. * x Office with West McHenry State B*nSj To° rum,lng f°r words. Every .Friday Afternoon Ptaw 4 McHenry, Illinois "Death Drums" Roll In " ' Honor of Indian Brave The "Death Drums of the Iroquois" rumble over Lake Cayuga and Seneca, In the heart of th$ * region that once was the stronghold of the fiercest of eastern tribesmen. y Out of the dim past, Out of the wigwams, out of the forests primeval--before the coming of the white man-- came the legend giving the name by which the unexplained phenomenon is known to this day.- The sounds, not imagined but real, come In series, separated by* irregular Intervals, only* on calm days, at a time of air stagnation or In the dead of nighg, about, this time of the year. The Seneca? explained the weird reverberations in this legend : m Once there was a Seneca brave, straight as an arrow, the great Agayentah, fierce In battle, kind in peace, calm at the council fire. One day near Seneca 'Castle (now Geneva), whither the trail of a bear had led him, Agayentah rested and took shelter from an approaching storm. Lightning, the arrow of the Great Hunter, struck down tree and man alike, hurling both into the water of Seneca lake. They floated out upon the surface and not untjl the sun went down did they disappear. And since that time the "death drjims" sound, as explained in the legend, so that the Senec&s would never forget Agayentah, great In battle! But geologists, no believers in the supernatural, offer several theories in explanation of the reverberations. One is that the booming results from fault movements--rock beds at or under* the lake bottom slipping past or over-each other. Others suggest that the sound results from the rise of bubbles of gas originating in the depths of the lake and bursting on reaching the top. Old Seneca Is a lake of eccentricities. It Is credited with being, the deepest body of water wholly within the United states, with the single exception of Lake Michigan. Only four times in the memory of white men has it frozen over. At 210 feet down it maintains a uniform temperature of 7 degrees above freezing; frogs and evaporization are almost unknown. It has been called the most treacherous lake In America. With a south wind the lake will change from a misleading calm to an angry roughness in ten minutes.* Waves sometimes roll higher than a house. Sometimes, despite Its expanse--thirty-six miles in length and from two to five miles in width--It rises or drops as much as two feet within a few hours. In a recent Bpeesk-at Springfield, Illinois Congressman William E. Hull made the statement that the inland waterway system from New Orleans to Chicago will develope the Illinois Valley more rapidly and substantially than any other project ever built in Illinois. Congressman Hull who is the strongest supporter of the deep waterway project, declared that the project would be practically complete in 1933. * State Auditor Oscar Nelson recently stated that tfcm flow of cash has turned back toward the banks of Chicago and Illinois. Auditor Nelson said that he believed Confidence has been restored and that hoarders of money are bringing -their savings back for deposit. Within a few days It is expected that Governor Louis L. Emmerson will issue a call for a special session o^ the legislature to considere revision of the state's revenue laws with a ,view toward reducing tax burdens on real estate. •* .

Richardson, Milwaukee, Wis. Stuart E. Pierson, director of the department of agriculture, has found that the horse and mule population of Illinois decreased from 1,465,000 in 1920 to 920,000 in 1930. ; Justice Norman L. Jones, of the Illinois supreme court, recently addressed the Mid-day Luncheonclub in Springfield. He stated, that all federal an3 state penitentiaries are overcrowded. He accounted for this overcrowded condition by citing the large number of new laws which have been enacted and the disrespect and contempt for law that has developed. State health officials reported a "Sharp rise in the prevalence of pneumonia during the week of October 4-10. It was predicted that diseases of paralysis and typhoid fever would decline rapidly. i Fees collected by William J. Stratton, secretary of state, during the first nine months of 1931 have amounted to $22,001,154. Automobile registrations total 1,399,777 passenger cars and 197,322 trucks at the «lose o£ the month of September. An announcement by State Treasurer Edward J. Barrett states that new bids for state deposits, 'filed by more than 1,300 banks throughout Illinois, will bring in about $300,000 a year more interest than would have been realized on bids rejected by him on September 14. As far as Treasurer Barrett has been able to determine, Illinois will receive as high, if not higher, a rate of interest on its deposits next year than is being paid on deposits of other states. H. L. Williamson, publisher of National Printer Journalist and for years secretary of the Illinois Press association, was re-elected to that position by the association at its recent sixty- Sixth annual meeting.jield on the University of Illinois-Campus at Urbana.
