Now York Drummer Enjoys fecuIiak
Indian Soup.
OF all story tellers the knight OF the
grip sack and sample case has the reputa-
tion of being the greatest, says the New
York Telegram. With this knowledge,
party Of gentlemen who were seated
around table in an uptown cafe the
other evening, enjoying cigars and coffee,
called upon one of their number, COM
mercial drummer, to relate some Of his
personal experiences. After some demurs
the man Of many travels spoke as fol.
lows:
considering the fact that we have just
enjoyed a good dinner, let me tell you OF
one which l had under circumstances not
so favorable as the present. 1t was some
years ago, and was out in the North
west not on business, but for pleasure,
with a merry party of tourists. We, OF
course, had guides and hunters with US,
and on them depended for our food, for
we were hundreds of miles from any
human habitation as far as we knew.
One day friend and myself started
out on private hunting expedition. As
we did not intend to go far we took little
ammunition and no guide. We were un.
successful, and decided to return, as we
were getting decidedly hungry. 1t was
easy enough to decide to go back, but the
right direction was another question. To
make matters worse, it commenced to
snow, and after some time there was only
one conclusion for US to arrive at-we
were lost, and night was fast coming on.
Suddenly q form loomed up through the
fast-falling fakes and, to our dismay,
big, healthy specimen of the original
owners of this country confronted US. La
fact, we had met our first Indian, but we
were in no condition to appreciate the
honor. Remembering, however, that the
Indians in the Yellowstone region at that
time were not hostile, we put bold face
on the matter-it was the only thing to do
and told him as well as we could our
condition. His copper colored highness
only said one word, Gomez and we ac-
cordingly went. After about an hours
tramp we struck small Indian
village, but what was better,
also saw signs Of something to
eat. A large kettle full of something like
soup was set before US, and to it's savory
contents we did full justice. And when
we had digested our hearty meal our
Indian friend kindly showed US the way
back to our camp, which was but short
distance from his village. When we ar
rived at the camp we found our friends
somewhat anxious about US and just sit
ting out on a search. A few trinkets am
ply paid our guide for his trouble and
supper, and then, from motives OF not
unnatural curiosity, our own guide asked
him what he had given us for supper.
"'Good dog; dog much good; make
good feed,' was the reply.
"a fact, gentleman. We had eaten dog
soup and actually relished 1t, thinking it
was.venison, but the reaction was too much
and in a half an hoTr we had another
meal; for when we found out what we had
eaten that dog refused to stay. But the
next time l partake of an Indians hos
pitality you can gamble that l know what
is in the pot"

The fact that the sale of DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets exceeds that of
any other pill in the market, be it great or
small, is on account of the fact that they are
tiny little, sugar coated granules, and that
IN most cases one little "Pellet" is sufficient
for a dose; that they are purely vegetable
and perfectly harmless; and for constipa-

Jorfty OF mankind have Ideas Of diet that
are formed from the experience Of other
people, and these ideas are very commonly
absurd Dr. White disposes of some of
these notions. by the authoritative utter
ance of a thorough scientist.
For example, he touches on the old
wives fable that butter In liberal quaint
ties will cause childrens faces to break
out with 'rbutter sores" He declares,
what intelligent people have long known,
that good butter uncooked is perfectly
harmless food SO far as the skin is con-
cerned, and he might have gone much
farther, for the limitation was unneces'
sary. He says. however. that the notion
alluded to probably came from the fact
that the use of impure butter In food
otherwise indigestible may have dis
turbed the stomach and produced impure
blood In some cases. 1t is more likely to
have come from the efforts of parents OF
limited means to curb their children's In
diligence in an expensive dainty. 1t is
certain that much of the prejudice against
candy came from this particular cause.
though with candy. as with butter, the
prejudice is entirely justifabie in refer
ence to adulterated and impure grades.
Nothing is more common than to hear
parents tell their children that eating
candy viii ruin their teeth, but it is most
likely to be an utterance dictated by
economy At all events. no educated
dentist will indorse the statement.
The notion that buckwheat cakes and
oatmeal are productive of skin diseases is
also attacked and pretty thoroughly de-
molished by Professor White. as well as
that absurdity about tomatoes which was
started by Dio Lewis generation or SO
ago He said that tomatoes were pro-
ductive Of cancer. and that they loosened
and destroyed the teeth. DR.. White de-
clares tomatoes and oatmeal to be harm
less and valuable foods, and points at the
simple fact that the only danger in eat
ing buckwheat lies in the fact that
it is apt to be served up hot in the form
of improperly cooked cakes. These may,
and are very likely to, upset the diges-
ton He declares. moreover, that a good
digestion and a healthy appetite will take
care Of the skin SO far as the effects of
food are concerned, and that it matters
little what kind of food is used SO long as
1t is pure. of good quality and properly
prepared The healthy stomach will turn
It into good blood This, it will be seen,
is a similar utterance to that of DR.. Aus
tin Flint. recently quoted only that DIR.
White, treating as he did on the skin only,
did not make so sweeping statement as
Dr. Flint, who said: EAT what you like,
when you like, and eat as much as you
like You may get gout that way, but
