Yesterday | rode most all day in a

do women feel better while travelling if

or young plum tree, or jug of but
termilk? 1t certainly cannot enhance

selves or others. Every time l would
get sleepy and droop forward l would
bury my face in this gooseberry bush.

on carrying it, and even reproved me
for knocking young thorn loose with

Poor man! He lost his hearing most

grim determination and set teeth. She
set them several weeks ago, and expects
them to come off the nest now in a few
days. She says that this is the Arc de

Tama, Ia, is not a large place, but the
center of rich farming country and
the social center of a large colony of
Indians, numbering $50, i believe. These
red men demonstrate the fact that the
Indian may be made self supporting, for
these Indians own their lands, on which
they raise mushrats. The government
gives each Indian about Si2 Is annually
as reward for being neither absent nor
tardy on pay day. With this the Indian
is enabled to buy lemon extract, by
means of which he is enabled to get
drunk.
These Indians are Sacs and Foxes
mostly. What work is done is done by
the wife. She has a low, groveling
streak in her nature, and so she works.
The husband has nobility of character
and other things also which he is willing
TO impart to those near and dear to him.
While was at Tama the Indians We're

among the Sacs and Foxes is attended
to very much as it is done among the
other Indian tribes. 1t is done by mov-
ing the house.

were the first to ascertain that lemon
extract and cologne taken in sufficient
quantities would intoxicate, and it is
said that one of these Indians will drain
the life blood from an alcohol stove at
one sitting.
There was considerable sickness among
these Indians last spring. 1t was caused
in singular way. All the cigar stores
in Tama had alcohol cigar lighters, and
the Indians got to lighting their pipes
at these, and while ostensibly lighting a
refractory pipe they did, then and there
being, suck the juice out of the alcohol
retort by means of a straw. Dealers
then put some foreign substance into
the alcohol reservoir, and most all the
men folks of the tribe staid at home for
quite awhile and complained of not feel

composed mostly of adhesive copying

the GAZETTE would be glad to see
Prof. T. H. Kirk exalted to the posi-
ton of superintendent of public in
struction. The GAZETTE senior editor
has a slight remembrance of Prof.
Kirk abilities, particularly his dis
cipline ability. He remembers the
Professors fingers going through his
hair, occasionally showing their affec
ton by lifting him from the floor by
those tender threads, and afterwards
grasping a long hickory that some
other boy procured and winding it
around the tender portion of the
body in manner that was more than
interesting. The boys learned in
those days.

The lover of constitutional freedom
can ONLY condemn that Tennessee law
bv which five Seventh Day Adventists
were declared criminals for quietly
laboring on Sunday, several days ago.
These men molested no one. They
had given Saturday to deyoslt religious
worship, as they believed God intcnd-
ed they should, and pursued their us
ual farm pursuits on Sunday. For the
latter they were arrested, convicted
and sentenced to hard labor under a
Tennessee law declaring it a crime to
work on Sunday. TheIaw is irreligious,
inhumau and unchristian. 1t was an
inspiration from the devil, and the
sooner Tennessee wipes it from her
statute books, the sooner will the
world believe that it is passing out of
the clutches of the evil one. Christ
never died that Christian might per-
secute Christian but that Christian
might assist Christian and for the sal
vation Of the world.

at any moment. New Years day had
dawned auspiciously for the squire: the
old year had proved an exceedingly
profitable one and the new one bid fair
to be. so the jovial justice was in an
amiable frame Of mind as he went along
nodding and chatting to the passers by,
with good word for everyone. Pres
emily he met Dr. Phiddlecrease

"Rows that?''
"Why, three years ago he chewed to-
bacco necessarily. drank like fish and
smoked all the time. Now he is a total
abstainer.''
"Iust so,' interposed the squire,
smilingly.
You see he began by resolving to
stop chewing on New Years day. He
went a year without chewing. Then he
resolved not to drink. and went a year
without liquor. Last year he concluded
to quit smoking. and now he; com

Gillespie Blaine. Mr.. Blaine belongs
to no section of this vast continent

rier of political utilization. Not only
conspicuous as the foremost statesman
and diplomat of the United States, he
has further been pre-eminently recog-
nized as the typical American. AL

The advanced strides of Redwood
Falls during the past few years have
been conceded remarkable, but when
the year 1892 passes into history no
better illustration of its remarkable
growth and progressiveness can be
given to the city historian than the
figures above. They represent the
actual money invested during the
year. They bespeak of stability and
confidence in our future. They tell
OF Il prosperous community, of a
wealthy county. and of farmers and
business men that are working jointly
for the county saSyran,lizement. They
will encourage foreign capital to in
vest here. and place in operation the
wheels of various manufacturing en-
terprises that can be conducted with
success. and with the products of the
farms OF Redwood and ad joining coun-
ties, and thus save the expense of
double transportation to the producer
and consumer. This would be real
progress, and Redwood must step in
to that path sooner or later. On this
business man, professional man, farm
or and laborer should quickly unite.

can't keep for one week a New Years
resolve to stop smoking.
'Agreed:' exclaimed the squire, ex-
tending his hand. and throwing away
his half-smol1ed cigar, he went down
the street whistling.
In the evening while the doctor was
seated in his comfortable library the
squire was ushered in. 1t was his Gus

his friend and discuss social and bust
ness affairs. Upon this occasion the
squire was in his usual good spirits.

smelled of it approvingly and then as

squire continued talking attentively.
Pretty soon out came the cigar again.
This time he bit the end off. rolled it
between his fingers ard placed it in his
mouth. He felt in his pocket for Il
