PeNoescor INDIANS.
The Tsrratine Tribe kad Their Roservs.
ti0n In Maine.

The Tarratine Tribe kad Their Roservs.
tfon In Maine.
According TO a Bangor (Me) cor re
spondent, the Penobs cot, or more proper
", the Tarratine Indians, have dwindl cd
greatly in numbers during the past few
decades. and there remains TO day but q
sorry remnant Of the powerful tribe who
In early colonial times were such power
tul factor In the interesting squabbles Of
this region, and who were the only red
men Of the Eastern coun try able to wall op
the Mohawks. But what few there are
left seem to get along very well, and they
are an interesting lot. Their reservation
consists Of all the islands In the Penob-
scot river between Oldtown and Lincoln,
. distance OF thirty-fve miles. These
islands are l48 In number, with an aggre.
gate area of about $500 acres--uuite
enough room for the ADO Tarratines who
still linger In the land Of their fathers.
The principal settlement is the village
on Oldtown island, the lowermost OF the
tribes possessions, where, besides numer-
Gus neat frame dwellings. they have
well-appolned chapel and schools. The
tribe are all Catholics, and good priest,
Father Trudelle, looks carefully after the
dusky flock, while three Sisters OF Mercy
Gabriel, Margaret and Christina-teach
the schools and look generally after tho
moral and domestic condition Of the tribe.
The Tarratines maintain tribal form
OF government, electing annually Gov.
ernor and Lieutenant Governor, and q
delegate to the State Legislature, which
thoy are allowed. Politically they are di.
vided into two parties---the "Old," or
Conservative, and the New" or Prog.
ressive. Most Of the men find empl oy-
mont In the woods or upon the drives, aud
expert river drivers they are. as n rule.
There Is some attention paid to agricult-
ure, and some few Of the men make their
living by plotting sportsmsn through the
Northern wilds to the fayorite haunts OF
trout and deer.
For delicacy Of workmanship and unique
design. none Of the fancy goods generally
peddlsd out during the holiday season
equal the dainty basketwork of the
suuaws OF this tribe, and their pretty ere.
atoms Of birch bark, bows and arrows,
and moccasins. Some OF the baskets are
marvels Of artistic handiwork and color.
They are OF every conceivable shape and
Of all Sizes down to a baby basket that
Just holds n pea TO make these fancy
things from ribbons OF ash requires, be-
sides skill, the patience Of Job. All the
year round they keep a big store in Old
town, stocked with baskets and tho other
articles for distribution TO retailers all
over the country, while in summer certain
members Of the tribe vend the prettiest Of
tho wares at watering places.
The State annually disburses among the
tribe about $4,000 under treaty stipula-
tions and in specific appropriations for
their general interest. Tho tribe all dress
neatly, live comfortably, and behave
themselves considerably better than the
common run of white people. The men are
no dudes, but to Offset this all the Indian
girls know how to tog out in colored silks
for balls.

The Lessons Of "unssr Fritz" Case.

The greatest doctors in Europe don't seem
TO know what ails "Unser Fritz"
Thus are the Garfield and Grant episodes
repeated, and public confidence in expert"
medical knowledge is again shaken.
The effect is revulsion.
Since the fatal days Of 1883, many Of the
doctrines Of the schoolmen concerning ex-
tensive medication have been abandoned,
and all schools OF practice are more and
more relying upon old-fashioned simple root
and herb preparations and careful nursing
the only reliances known to our ancestors.
These methods and reliances are illus
trated to-day in q series Of old-fashioned
roots and herbs preparations recently given
to the world by the well-known proprie-
tors Of Warmers safe cure preparations
made from formule possessed by many of
our Oldest families, and rescued for popular
use, and issued under the happy designa-
ton OF Warmers Log Cabin Remedies.

to the writer when he was boy, "my son,
your yeller and palo and weak like lookin',
your needin' good shaking up with some
sas'parip."
A Jug of spring sarsaparilla was just as
necessary In the "winter supplies" Of fifty
years ago as was barrel OF pork, and q
famous medical authority says that the very
general prevalence of the use of such Q
preparation as Log Cabin Sarsaparilla ex-
plains tho rugged health Of our ancestors.
While Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla Is
an excellent remedy for all seasons Of the
year, IL is particularly valuable In the
spring, when the system is full of sluggish
blood and requires a natural constitutional
tonic and invigorator to resist colds and
pneumonia, and the effects Of long winter.
Philo NJ. Parsons, clerk Of the City Hotel Of
Hartford, Conn, was prostrated with cold
which, no says, "see med TO settle through

Under the operation Of Warmers Log

says, "The sore and inflamed eyes disap.

condition than 1t has been for years. Ihave
much better appetite. ] shall tako several
moro bottles for safety's sake. Warmers
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla is great blood
purifier and most heartily recommend it,"
A few bottles Of Warmers Log Cabin Sar-
saparilla used in the family now will save
many q week OF sickness and many dollar
Of bills. Use no other. This Is the oldest,
most thoroughly tested, and the best is put
up in the largest sarsaparilla bottle on the
market, containing 12J doses There Is no
other preparation Of similar name that can
equal it. The name Of its manufacturers is
guarantee Of its superior worth.
While the great doctors wrangle over the
technicalities of an advanced medical science
that can not cure disease, such simple prep
arations yearly snatch millions from uu-
timely graves.
