Don't Talk Slang.

If it is necessary that any one III the
family should do that, let it be your
big brother. though I would advise
him not to adopt "pigeon English" +"
when there is an elegant, systemized
language that he can just as we'll use.
But don't do it. You have no idea
how it sounds to ears unused or avcrsc
to it, to hear Il young lady, when she is
asked if she will go with you to some
place, answer, "nOt much ~ or, if re-
quested to do something she does not
wish, to hear her say, can't see it!''
Not long ago 1 heard Il young miss,
who is educated and accomplished, in
speaking of Il young man, say that she
intended to ego for him!' and when
her sister asked her assistance at some
work, she answered, i" n lot for joe"
Now, young ladies of unexceptional
character and really good education
fall into this habit, thinking it shows IL
phrases and they soon slip fiippantly
ness that is neither lady-likc nor be-
coming. "I bet'' or "you bet" is
we'll enough among men who are trad
ing borses or land but the contrast is
startling and positively shocking when
q young man is holding the hand of
his lady-love to hear these words from
her lips. They seem at once to surround
her with the rOugher associations of his
daily life, and bring her down from
the pedestal of her purity, whereon he
had placed her, to his own coarse level.
I know the bright-eyed girl who
reads this will think the matter over,
and do what is right, and discard the
slang and un1ady-like phrases.

4 Nun Dies Under the Treatment Of q
Il Bogus Doctor.

About two weeks since, Il negro wo-
man, in company with her husband,
arrived in this city from Arkansas.
The husband, John Williams, was
quite i'll ut the time, and after procur-
ing n h0Rse, his wife started in quest OF
Il physician. Meeting negro man on
the street, she asked him if he could
tell her where she could find II doctor.
The negro replied that he was Il doctor,
and accompanied her to the house.
After poking the sick man in the ribs,
feeling of his cars, etc., the negro, who
said his name was DIR. Riley, made up
the following recipe: Equal parts Of
vinegar, cologne, muriatcd tincturc of
iron, pepper sauce and oil of pepper
mint. DIR. Riley said that this would
g raise John in three days. and it did;
but not as John or his wife expected.
The fec was $40, $40 of which was pay
able in advance, and the remaining $50
III n few days. The dose was enough
to have killed Il mule, and after taking
three or four rtablespoonsfuls, J Ohm died.
Before his death another Doctor
was brought in by Riley, who charged
for his visit the last - note that Mrs.
Williams had. Detectives McCune and
Welsh heard of the affair and arrested
the two doctors last evening. - Memphis

would be done. But in most cases it
was not, and old citizens of the Nation
now have title to Alabama lands and
legal proof that they never sold them.
The entire tribe then agreed to sell,
but We're removed before they had time
to do so, and some lands there are yet
unsold to which the Indian title is ac-
knowledged good. a considerable tract
which had been set apart "for orphans
Of the Creek Nation too young to make
selection,' had been covered by white
squtters, but the Government paid
them for it and the money was invested
as HIndian Trust Funds.''
A few Creeks arrived here in 1925;
the main body came here 1886 and
1887. About the year 1907 Il small band
had gone to Texas, and We're so harassed
by the Texan Government that in 1910
and 1912 they came here. \ small por-
ton still remain in Florida and Ala
bama, whom the Creek Nation are ne
gotiating with, to induce them to re-
move here.
The pure Creeks are estimated ut ten
thousand, and the freedmen among
them ut four thousand; but incline to
the opinion that some called pure
Creeks have an infusion Of negro blood.

Novels familiarize mems minds with

try, or class. The poorest student treads
palace-rooms the seamstress in her
garret penetrates into the most cXclu-
sive bOudoirs. The pauper without 4
vote takes part in the highest politics
of past times. Suggestions of philoso-
ply, of wisdom, clothed with personal
ity, are gradually drunk in; and the
reader rises bettered not taught the
most approved kind of drainage of
work-house, or lunatic asylum, but so
lifted above the meaner thoughts of
daily life that on all subjects presented
to him he is prepared to take a broad
and generous view. Man docs not live
