MORE INDIAN NEws.-Last Tuesday eve.
Tom Edwards AMI Harry lIorr arrived from
the Yellowstone. and reports that three In
dams Rad been seen just above Emi2rant on
Mondav night. The citizens of that portion
Of tho valley Immediately gathered up their
stock, and before day II lit there was not a
stray horse b'twccn the Lower and Upper
Canyons. A party headed BY Jack Baronctt
passed down the Lower Canyon the same
night, and lying in the brush awaited the
coming Of the Indians in the hopes of cutting
them of. but the red skins are either OH the
river or have fled ever the mountains. 1t H.
supposed there are several il the vicinity OF
Emigrant.
LArER.-Sincc writing the above, Thomas
Thompson came in and reported that nine
Indians were seen watching St0ry's herd
with view OF taking them in. Several citi-
zcns started on Wednesday morning to look
after the nine and tier confedcratcs, and up
to time OF writing We have received no news.
Undoubtedly these Indians are Sioux on a
horse stealing expedition, who will not dis.
dan ~ Kill it an opportunity offers.

Household Hints.

Small round trcckles can be removed
by the application Of chlorine water
every night and morning, allowing it to
dry in. For the more dense ones, chic
ride oflime, one to ten, fifteen or TWEEN
ty parts of water, according to the SEN
sitiveness Of the skin. When using the
stronger solutions, merely touch the
spots with moistened camel's hair
brush.
One Of the London journals contains
statement by DR.. Berry Of his sue
cessful treatment Of uncomplicated
whooping cough with dilute nitric acid.
in doses of from five to fifteen minims,
according to age, with simple syrup,giv-
en- every three or four hours, alternating
the cough and spasnl, and apparently
cutting short the disease. During an
epidemic of the disorder he prescribed
this frequently, and with very satisfac-
tory results. He offers no suggestion
as to the operation of the remedy, but
he believes its action to be that of tonic
though its refrigerating properties are
not to be lost sight of, In all the cases
treated, he has, of course, paid attcn-
ton to the state Of the digestive organs
and in such cases as have required it,
he has given an apcricnt combined with
an Alternative.

THE LOTUS PLANTER.

A Brahmin OH i lotus pod
Once wrote the holy name Of God.
Then, planting it, he asked in prayer
For some new fruit, unknown and fair.
A Slave near by, who bore load
Fell tainting Oh the dusty road.
The Brah1nin, plying, straiyhtway ran
And lifted up the fallen man.
The deed scarce done, he stood aghast
At touching one beneath his caste.
"Behold," he cried, 81 am unclean;
NV hands have clasped the vile ant
mean!'
God saw the shadow on his face,
And wrought q miracle Of grace.
The buried seed arose from death
And bloomed and fruited at his breath.
The stalk bore up leaf Of green,
Whereon these mystic words were seen:
"First, count men all Of equal caste
Then count thysclf the least and last"
The Brahmin, with bewildered brain,
Beh lid the will Of God writ plain.
TRANSPORTED then in sudden light,
The Slave stood sacled in His sight
Thereafter in the Brahmin's breast
Abode Gods peace, and he was bIest.

commences with an auction sale-not,
however, in a store, but beneath the
green trees Of jamestown, where prob
ably the most anxious and interested
crowd of auction habiteus ever known
in the history of the world were con-
gregated. In letter, still to be seen,
dated London, August 81, 1921, and
dir ected to 4 worthy colonist Of that
settlement, the writer begins by saying:
eve send you a shipment, one
widow and eleven maids, for wives of
the people Of Virginia. There hath
been especial care in the selection Of
them, for there hath not one of them
been received but upoon good common

The archives contain evidence to prove
that these first cargoes of young ladies
were put up at auction, and sold for
one hundred and twenty pounds of to-

ahead, no uneasiness for the future, no
inquisitive clerk to stand and say:

some of these couples the first families
Of Virginia are descended, and we'll
