4 Business-Like Suggestion Evolved BY
Though tful Young Man.

u BuStneSe-Lfke suggestion Evolved by
Thought Young Man.
In this period of financial depres-
sion, it is expedient for society to COM
bine business with their pleasures. to
mingle with their expensive gayeties
schemes to assist indirectly in paying
for them. There are many ways in
which this can be done. For example
an invitation to a party might be made
TO read somewhat after the following
pattern:
'.Mr. and Mrs. Handmedown present
their compliments to Mr.. Adolphus
Smalltalk. and request the pleasure of
Mr.. Smalltalks company on Thursday
evening. Mr.. Handmedown desires to
call Mr.. Smalltalk's attention to the
fact that Handmedown & Blk have on
hand first-class assortment of gents
furnishing goods OF the latest spring
styles.
"N. B.-Our prices are as low as the

might thus devise her invitations to

The best medical writers claim that
the successful remedy for nasal catarrh
must be non-irritsting, easy of application,
and one that will reach all the remote sores
and liberated surfaces. The history of the
efforts to treat catarrh during the past,
olbiges us to admit that only one remedy
has met these conditions. and that is Ely's
Cream Balm. This pleasant remedy has
mastered catarra as nothing else has ever
done, and both physicians and patients
freely concede this fact. The most distress
ing symptoms yield to il.

THE GREAT MARCH.

ding Mexico.
Incidents of the March by John
sheridan of Capt. Reds
Company.

October Is, lS46.-We are on our
way to chihuahua, and are among the
Nsvsjoes. This morning party of
500 warriors came TO our camp and
held dance over a Pueblo scalp. It
is astonishing now quick they estab-
lished confidence with our men, some
of whom mingled with them in the
dance. Their women ere rather good
looking and melted the Jealousy of
The bucks by their evident admira-
ton of eur men. One squaw asked
one of the boys to marry her and
take her to the states with him.
After breakfast We took up our
line of march accompanied by
500 Indians. We marched sixteen
miles and went into camp. The
Indians grouped themselves about
and engaged in games and trading.
They gave us an exhibition ola
rabbit chase. 500 gaily dressed bucks
mounted on horse back engaged in the
entertainment which was novel and
interesting. A rabbit was set at large
and the scamper OF the hunters was
beyond comparison. and showed great
skill in horsemanship. The women
engaged in dice playing. They bet
their beads, blankets and even their
babies on the game. A boy baby was
put up as equivalent 10 a string of
beads, but girl babies were regarded
worthless. A woman is not regarded
very valuable among any OF he::tribes
except for the labor they can perform.
They are the drudges. We had q
wedding today, one of the bucks had
captured q squaw and We pursuaded
them to be married by our chaplain
like the "Americanos," the whole tribe
assembled to witness the proceedings.
The squaw regarded herself highly
favored and she moved about among
her people very proudly, while pea.
cock feathers waved from her head
dress grandly. When her lord got
ready he motioned to her to come to
him. Her people pushed her out
from among them and drove her to
him. She stepped up and put her
hand in his and then helped him to
arise. They walked arm in arm, as
we had taught them, to where the
chaplain stood and the ceremony wa;
repeated. Her husband gave her hi:
gun and a blanket, the latter being
for herself, and she walked away
toward his camping place, while ht
went to look after his horse and pro
vide one for her. A dozen other In
dian couples called On the chaplain
and he was kept busy all evening mar
rying them. The women always CAV

seem to think the job worth anything
