could l not send a message to my peo-
ple2 1t was an easy matter to tear my
shirt, and with my teeth l shaped bits
of white cloth until had hundred
or more. Then l began to catch the
fish. Every one that passed me left
with bit Of white cloth pushed upon
the spine of its upper fin. The next day l
did the same, and for three days sent
these messengers to my people. The
fish were black, senior, and the white
cloth could be seen quite distance.
"The days went by, how many know
not, when one night l dreamed that l
saw my friends. awolze to see great
light and in the center the one loved
best then | must have died of joy. But
lived, senor," and here the tall Indian
threw his arm about a young girl whose
dark eyes CLEANED with terror at the
memories aroused. "She, my wife, found
me and the message was carried to her
by the hassars. So, senior, the fish saved
my life, brought me my wife. What
would you have me do? Forget themp
think not"
Such was the romance and almost
tragedy of Salvadea. He had been crush
ed by the tree for nearly two weeks.
His people had searched far and near
without success, and when the canoe
was found it was supposed he had fallen
overheard AID was lost. But there was
one who did not give up. She wandered
farther down the stream than the others,
and one day pushed her canoe up little
stream, rapidly growing dry, to catch
turtle Here she was attracted by the
hassars that were coming down over
land and escaping into the main water.
While she watched them she noticed
one with white object upon its fin, then
another. Catching the fish, she saw
that it was no accident, but an inten-
tional decoration. Following up she
saw others, and soon recognized the
fact that it was q message from some
one-possibly the lost one.
Up the stream she went, sinking in
the soft mud over which the fishes had
safely passed; crossing quicksands, leap
ing from trunk to trunk until she finally
found her lover apparently dead-so
near it that it was months before he
walked. With her hands she dug the
sand and mud away, and then bore his
emaciated form breaking a passage
through the lanes to the camp. No
wonder he looked at her with loving
eyes, and no wonder he protected the
hassars.
Salvadeas story might seem a fiction
of the Amazon, but the habit of the
hassars and other catfshes of leaving
the water and crawling overland is a
common one, and is equally we'll known
in India in the climbing perch. The fish
do not carry water in their gills during
these overland journeys, as is generally
supposed, but breathe air and for the
time are true amphibians.-Ne,o York
Evening Post.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh, being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
sttutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the

When the Indians Were Paid.

Pennington presented a gala appear
ance Monday after the bank officials had
cashed checks of the Indians to the
amount of 100000. Every hitching
post was surrounded by ponies. Those
already possessing vehicles drove di-
rectly to the livery stables. Much curl
osity was felt as to how the Indians
would spend their gold. Their first pur-
chases We're made at the fruit and con-
fectionery stores. One squaw quietly
bought a generous allowance of candy,
fruits, nuts, crackers and fifty cents
worth of chewing gum. Every Indian,
large and small, was soon seen eating or
carrying oranges. In short time many
of the men had bought and donned new
suits of clothes. They exhibited a
marked preference in these selections
for navy blue The squaws meanwhile
were fast reducing the merchants stocks
of blankets, calicoes, etc.
By noon the agricultural implement
houses had sold every style of vehicle in
their possession, and one merchant had
orders enough for a carload of spring
wagons or "hacks-7 Harness men soon
found their stocks nearly cleaned out
by the Indians. Several of them paid
high prices for horses in the morning,
and during the afternoon many farmers
brought horses to town, which they dis
posed of at terms far beyond their ex-
pectations. AT noon the Indians eager
ly sought the hotels for dinner. The
squaws seemed to retain complete con-
troll of the purses. The black eyed
maiden purchased the highest priced
hat in a millinery store.
An old squaw selected a new cart,
and paid $3.50 for horse. She then pur-
chased new harness and stored away
numerous packages under the seat, after
which she tied the poor, little, tagged
cayuse pony ION which she had come to
town behind, spread a new blanket over
her lap and turned her high checked
spirited horse toward the mission. By
4 o'clock long line of new buggies,
wagons and carts well laden with every
conceivable article of merchandise
wound its way over the mountain to the
mission. The Indians were quiet, or
derby and dignifedly polite. Their con-
tidence i'll the townspeople was evident,
as when they emerged from the bank
with their large sacks Of money they
sat on the street corners to count it.

which consider certain letters, words
and phrases us being cursed. and the

attach no value to human life, and to
these ordinary dangers are added those
arising from the embarrassing etiquette

word devil, satan" or anything with
the same meaning. he commits a mortal
offense, and to cut off his head is God

In a like manner several letters are
wholly banished from their language,
chiefly those which contain the sound of
"shun.r The Arabian word nallet,
Thou art damned" is also expunged
because it is believed by the Yezidees to
have been the word uttered by. God
when the fallen angels were thrown into
hell. These and similar words and
phrases are set aside and combinations
which do not belong to any language
used instead.-St. Louis Republic.
