When an Indian believes in anything
he believes it with his whole heart, soul
and body, and it is this faith that is SO
prominent in his disposition that makes
him, in many ways, almost childlike
The Indians faith in his medicine how
ever, is not without well founded reasons.
For centuries the race has used the same
barks, gums and herbs, collected from
the forest and prepared by them with
the skill that comes only from years of
practice.
For every ill that the flesh is heir to
they have their remedy, and the remark
able ages to which they live and the little
sickness which they experience, in spite
of obstacles and conditions that would
kill an ordinary race, speaks louder thar
words for their medicines. The Kickapoc
Indians are especially noted for theil
cures, and to this tribe we are indebted
for some of the greatest remedies evel
used.
The Kickapoo Indian Sagwa and Other
Kickapoo Indian remedies, which can be
bought of any druggist, are undoubtedly
the best specifics for such ills as they are
intended for. Especially with Kickapoc
Indian Sagwa have wonderful results
been obtained. Diseases resulting from
disordered condition of the blood, liver,
kidneys or stomach give way immedi
ately to its use.
The Kickapoo Indians are located al
their village near Fort Allen Park, where
they may be seen daily. Their medicine
men may be consulted and will give theil
advice free Of charge.

TWO TYPICAL AMERICANS.


Of the People.
4 writer whose essay on Lincoln and
Washington was recently published re-
peats an assertion often made that Lin
coin was the first typical American"
amor; our presidents. 1t is said that
Washington represented tho traditions
and the habits Of thought Of class
above the rest in cultivation-an asser-
tion that need not now be discussed.
II i certainly true that Mr.. Lincoln's
life realized IN large measure the as
piration Of the masses of his country
mon. He was III his instincts = man of
the plain people of the people whose
axes and ii.lcs conquered the continent
He did hot know this himself 1t was

Whig-a member Of the ''gcntleman's
party and as long as ho lived the ia
cilc. suaye and elegant. though humbly
born. Horny Clay was his model Of the
statesman. But his sympathiei were
never really with the Wings. He was
always drawn away from them toward
that radical democracy Of which An
drew jackson was tho great exponent in
America
The same causes which produced Jack
son made Lincoln. The west came into
national politics with Jackson and at
once reyolutionizcd America. The re-
gimo Of tho colonial gentlemen of Vir-
ginia and Massachusetts ended there and
then, never to be revived. The attempt
to re-establish il was made repeatedly
until another great revolution came
with Lincoln
Jackson was in every sense a man of
tho people He was Scotch Irish-that
is to say, Anglo-Saxon TO the core. He
had no Norman blood. . He was
Jack s-son. !" the descendant of some
Saxon serf of the fourteenth century
who was not of enough Importance to
be worth patronymic. The humble
ness of his origin and of his earlier years
could not have been surpassed He was
product of the log cabin with punch
con floor and clapboard roof, and his
sympathies like Lincoln's. were always
with the masses of ''plain people.
The two men. so much alike in many
things, were radically different in a
point OF vital Importance. jackson rep
resented the military spirit in its ex-
treme. Lincoln was thorough civil
ian. In this respect he is surpassed if at
all only by Jefferson. The pride Of mil
itary glory WAS hateful to Jefferson,
while to Lincoln it was only ludicrous.
IL is hard TO guess now whether the
future will rank the son of the Ken
g a..
ginia yeoman. But it can hardly be
said that jefferson was the typical
American. Ho had exceptional advan-
tages, which take him out of the class
TO which Lincoln and Jackson belong.
That class is not extinct in America.

stances And it is hard 10 tell which of
the two is the more numerous. New
