to witch the burial of Cassie Chadwlck.
But now even Woodstock has forgotten.
A party of Clevelanders whfc remem
bered Mrs. Chadwlck before she began
her manifold operations in a financial
way, were motoring through Canada
last summer, and while passing
through Woodstock remembered that it
was In that village where Cassie L.
Chadwlck was buried. They drove out
to the little cemetery and there aaw in
a wilderness of small headstones the
marble shaft that marks the last rest
ing place of the unfortunate woman.
The monument rises only a few feet
above the ground, and clustering all
about It are other graves with similar
monuments. A row of young maple
knives and tomahawks that were hidden
beneath their folds. The plan of the
chief was that having entered the fort,
tho blankets were to be thrown aside,
the gates, thrown open to a larger body
of hidden Indians, and the defenseless
English garrison and townsfolk massa
cred. "
But the plan, of what was to happen
had been revealed to the commander by
an Indian girl, and when Pontlao en
tered the inclosure he found the walls
bristling with armed and prepared sol-

Pontlao was born on the Ottawa river,

edge of conducting a long siege. When
once the Detroit garrison sallied forth
against I'ontiac a camp, tne colonial
troops were driven back again with ter
rific loss. But Pontine was forced to
give up the siege. This wrecked his
whole plan of conquest. Tils failure to
capture the Detroit fort lost to Pontiac
the trust of many of his followers,
Some of the tribes deserted. The confed
eration fell to pieces. The war dragged
on to 1765, when a treaty was signed
with the English and Pontiac became
outwardly peaceful again. Before anoth
er conspiracy could be formed, a Kas-
kaskla, Illinois, Indian, in 1769, was
bribed by an English trader to murder
Pontiac
A feast had been prepared at an Indi
an village Opposite St. Louis, Mo., to
which Pontlao had been invited. There
is no doubt that the -Indian drank
deeply, and, when the affair was over.
ho walked majestically down the village
street to the adjacent woods, where he
was heard to chant his medicine eongs
in the dark and silent wood.
As the large figure of Pontlao loomed
strangely erect in the shadow of the
forest a silent form crept like a' wild
catclose to where he stood. A twig
snapped. Pontlao turned to see what
disturbed the quiet of the forest, and.
as ha did so, a tomahawk was burled in
his brain. He fell prostrate upon the
green carpet of moss. A shrill wall of
triumph startled the night birds from
the branches, and thus, foully and brut
airy assaulted, died the mighty chief of
the Ottawas,

Seeking Child Welfare.
From the New York Post
In the appointment of a municipal
child welfare commission, said to be
the first of its kind In this country, the
Hbclallsts in Milwaukee have made a
praiseworthy move toward the better
ment of civic life. The resolution adopt
ed by the council provides for a body
of five members who shall continue in
office for three years, for the purpose
of Investigating the problem of Infant
mortality and all conditions surround
ing child life in the city. For the ex
penses of this work the council appro
priated the sum of 15000; and a spe
cial provision authorizes : the commis
sion to raise other funds by private sub
scription. To cooperate with the com
mission's efforts the Milwaukee Visiting
Nurse association has offered the serv
ices of trained nurses, and other public-spirited
organizations and citizens
have promised their an. Mayor Seidel
is commended foe his choice of ap
pointees to tba new munloipal body.
One "of the members. Dr. John M. Bef-
fel. to whom credit for the creation of
the commission Is due, was Mayor
Seldel'e opponent at last year's election.

Mr. Dunloavy said it would be com
mendable. The sad-eyed man appeared pleased.
- "Give me two aisle seats for two wom

head doubtfully. "It doesn't seem Just
