MUKWANAGO’S DAUGHTER.
An Indian Legend Which Is Prob-
ably as True as Many Others.
Forest and Stream.
Muk-a-wau-l-ago or Mukwanago
as brutal Saxon has curtailed the
flowing Indian spetcb loved his
daughter and gratified her every
wish except when that gave him any
trouble; but he was a man of stern
and unyielding principle. He could
not help this on account of his line-
age. His intellect was acute and in
natural ability and foresight he sur-
passed his tribe. When his eye fell
upon the lovely sheet of water which
walled in by noble-wooded bluffs lay
clear and sparkling in the natural
amphitheater situated about two or
three miles from the Indian village
he realized at once its magnificent
fitness for legendary purposes .‘-If 1
am not mistaken and I never am
said Mukwanago this place will
eventually be a great summer resort
and the price of frogs will double.
The water is clear the climate health-
ful and the fishing excellant. There is
the necessary sulpnur spring at the
other side of the lake and the usual
iron spring not far from that and
there are no mosquitoes—not to speak
of. They never trouble us. Really
it would seem that nature had lav-
ished all her charms or something of
the kind. Indeed so far as lam able
to tell and I know I am we stand in
need of only two things. We need a
legend and a Lover’s Leap.
Mukwanago pondered long and
deep and at length called his daugh-
ter up to him.
*'Pride-of-my-heart“ said he—for
sometimes he called her Pride-of-my-
heart and sometimes Susan—“ Pride
of my heart we are shy a legend
and we’ got to have it This lake
will never uro until we have a name
for it and a Lover’s Leap and a le-
gend. Haven’t you got a lover or
wo lying around in the woods here?
Pnde-of-my-heart—or perhaps we
may call her just Pride for short the
more especially because pride goes
before a fall and where there’s a lover’s
leap there must be a fall of course-
Pride reluctantly admitted that fath-
er's surmises were correct.
Then daughter said Mukwanago
we are saved. I wish that you and
your Sunday lover would plea se
go up to the top of the bluff
on th e east side of the lake and leap
offmt o the water. You mignt chant
a song or something or other but I’ll
fix up the legend part. It’ll be the
making of the place.
Pshaw pa said Pride. Me jump
off that place! You’re only blurting!
I’m not I’m in dead earnest so
help me! said Mukwanago. And if
you wont jump at sunset to-night
you’l have to settle with your parent
now you hear me!
Very well said Pride firmly. I
don’t jump now you hear me. ’it’s
too blamed rocky on that point and
more than 100 feet above the water.
You must be crazy.
Then you refuse? said Mukwan-
ago bitterly.
I do pa said Pride. If you want
any legend you’ll have to do the jum-
ping yourself. As for me I jump the
camp to-night.
So pride and her Sunday lover pack-
ed their canoe and went north up in-
to the Wolf River country’ that night
and were never heard ot any more.
They crossed the lake to the outlet
went down the creek to the Fox Ri-
ver and ascended that s< ream at about
10 o’clock in the evening. Muck-
wanago often pointed out to the older
citizens of this country the place
where the lovers jumped the camp
and even tried to evolve from the
plain story of their boat ride down to
the Fox and legend of a phantom In-
dian maiden and a phantom canoe.
His efforts met with some success
and to-day the lake which is really a
beautiful one is known as phantom
Lake instead of Stockman Lake as
it is mapped though certain skeptics
say there never was any phantom
about it except a little cholera infan-
tum on the west side where the child-
ren of a camping party got into a
watermelon patch.
Heavy Losses Sustained
By not buying tea at Holland’s.
WORLD S FAIR NOTES.
Twenty-oue nations have thus far
decided to be represented at the Chi-
‘ cago World’s fair.
Alice Freeman Palmer the former
1 president of Weliesly college has
been made one of the commissioners
to the Columbian exhibition from
i Massachusetts.
A number of citizens of Italian
' birth met in Washington recently
and passed resolutions requesting
their home government to take an
active part In the World’s fair.
Maine will erect a 110000 building
40 by 40 feet two stories high with a
tower. The building will be con-
structed of different varieties of
Maine granite and covered with
Maine slate.
Forty-three mineral producing
counties in Georgia Alabama and
Tennessee in a convention of more
than 100 delegates held at Chatta-
nooga have decided to make a tristate
exhibit at the world’s fair.
The first sleeping car constructed
by the Pullman Car company is now
in the repair shops at Pullman. It
is nearly thirty years old. It has
been officially announced that it will
be on exhibition at the world’s fair.
Rhode Island has made a happy
choice of an executive commissioner
for the Columbian exposition. At a
meeting held recently at the state
bouse in Providence the board of
managers unanimously selected for
that important office Captain John C.
Wymafi of Valley Falls.
