excessive. Or too reluctant.
Half the time it means moth

This offer to refund the

made under the hope that you
won't want your money back,
and that you won't claim the
reward. OF course.
So, whoever is honest in
making it, and works--not ON
his own reputation alone, but
through the local dealer whom
you know, must have some
thing he has faith in back of
the guarantee. The business
wouldn't stand a year with

With bated breath has been passed
from one to another the dreaded name
of "Cochise," that fearless Indian

an absolute supremacy throughout the
Southwest, from the Rio Grande TO the
Colorado, the mention of whom might
well cause the cheek of the border man

extending lines of cottonwood and mes
quite trees which bordered the little
stream, called by the Indians the
"Shus- Be-To," or Bears Water.
Around this post" the Apaches were
everywhere, even stealthily crawling
inside the line of sentinels at night or
shooting their arrows at the sentinel as
he walked his lonely beat. On one dark
night they watched the guard at the cat

In the year which followed the close
of the war of the rebellion to Fort Bad

his bride and his cavalry troop. Gentle
Mary Sigourney was minister's daugh-
Ter, who in the PARKWAY New England

the brave young Captain, that hero for
whom she had forsaken home and kin
bred, to share with him the wild, un.

she was content.
Barely were the soldiers given time

INDIAN AND HEBREW.


a Comparison of Some Peculiar Customs
of the Two Races.
Early travellers among the Indians
claim to have found rites and ceremonies
strikingly similar TO those of the Jews.
George Gatlin, the artist, who spent Il
considerable portion of his life among
the tribes, said he believed they had
Jewish blood in their veins, although
he could not go so far as to identify
them with the lost tribes of Israel.
The Indians worshipcd Great Spirit,
or a Jehovah. ldolaters were never
found on the North American continent.
cine houses, which they held most
sacred. They had their high priests
and their prophets. They followed the
Hebrew custom in not allowing the wo-
men to worship with the men. Fifty
years ago the Sioux exploited the same
belief that they are dancing themselves
crazy about now. They maintained
that the Indians were the chosen people
of the Great Spirit, and that in time
they were to triumph over the rest of
the world through Messiah.
In marriage the Indians had customs
which savored of Palestine. They gave
presents for their wives. In their bath
ing and in their family relations, they
followed with remarkable precision
many of the requirements of the Mosaic
law. They observed certain laws of
publication which the old testament
teaches. Fifty years ago travellers found
no difficulty in discovering the practice
of these rites and ceremonies by the
Indians. But rs the line of white set
Element advanced the Indians gave up
their old customs. Their forms were
laughed at by white men, and many of
them were abandoned. The ghost dance
which the Sioux have been soaring the
frontier with is the old sun dance under
Il new name. 1t used to be practiced
very frequently as an atonement core
mony.
There was once all Indian feast which
was very like the annual feast of the
Passover. Some of the tribes kept a
feast with branches of willow and pre-
liminary fasting, which bore striking
resemblance to the feast of Tabernaclcs.
The practice of offering to the Great
Spirit the first green corn and the first
fruits of all kinds was almost universal
among the Indians before they became
contaminated with white men.-St.
