Hayville little more than week, but time

boots and a dirty flannel shirt. II would
word with thee. Shoulder this trunk
and take it to yonder house, and I'll give
you more money for chewing tobacco and
popcorn than you've had in year." The
worthy fellow toted my trunk over all

next day saw him buying bank stock at

The finger pillory is still preserved care
fully in the parish church of st. Helen
Ashby de- Ia Couch and Is thus described:
IAN ancient and rather singular curiosity
is finger pillory. This instrument seems
to have been used for the punishment Of
disorderly persons during divine service.
It consists Of two upright posts about three
feet high, which support beam, Of near
" the same length, In which are bored
holes Of various Dimensions, cut first hor.
izontally, and then perpendicularly, in or.
der that the first joint OF the finger may
be inserted and the finger retained In
an angular form. The culprit Is then
secured by bringing down over the
holes another beam which Is attached by .
hinge at the end to one Of the posts and
fastened at tie other by a lock. Church

Take Care!There is Danger


in allowing inactivity of the kidneys to
grow through neglect. The deadly shoals
of Bright's disease and diabetes will
wreck the goodly bark of health if it is al
lowed to drift ruderless upon them. The
bladder, too, if inactive, and judic'ous
medication does not speedily direct the
helm toward the port of safety, will be
whelmed by the quicksand of disease. In

ritating and exciting them, two effects to
be apprehended from the unmedicated
stimuli largely resorted to. These have a
tendency to react pref udicially. The Bit
tiers invigorate the kidneys and bladder,
common with the nerves and the diges-
tive organs, and SO affording lasting aid.
It also affords dual assistance in pre-
venting and curing intermittent and re-
mittent fever. Bllliousness, constipation
and rheumatism it also ubjugates.

Tho Indian Was hound to Havo n Con-
veyance OF Some Sort.
An amusing stay is told in conneo-
ton with tho recent opening OF the Nez
Perces Indian reservation. When the In
dams of tho reservation had received
thcir money from the government, they
went to tho neighborihg towns to spend
1t. Their visit was of course anticipated,
and all possible schemes were on foot to
relieve Uncle Sam S wards Of their cash
Is speedily as possible. The Indians
were on tho buy, too, and money was
no object when anything they saw took
their fancy. The redskins took notion
to buy carts, wagons, buggies, otc and
In short time every available vehicle
in tho little town of Pennington was in
their possession.
There was one old Indian who failed
to mako purchase, however, and after
all the buggies We're gone desire to
possess some sort of conveyance started
him on u diligent search. After visiting
all the places where vehicles were sold
without success he finally learned of a
conveyance which, from the description,
completely overshadowcd anything in
point of elegance ever sold before and
tho possession Of whiuh would render
all tho other Indians wild with envy
Ho sought the owner, who proved to be
tho town undertaken, and opened neRo-,
tiations for the purchase of the vehicle
The undertaken soon found tho Indian
wanted to obtain his hearse. Tho thought
staggered him for moment but hay
ing an eye to business and noting the
anxiety of MIR. Rodskin the hearso was
sold for good round sum.
The Indian hitched two horses to tho
somber vehicle, and putting his squaw
and papooscs on the inside trotted off
for home, tho prouiest coppcrface that
ever strung q bow or stole sheep. The
other Indians, hearing Of his coming,
had lined up along the road TO watch
him pass. Perched on his high seat, he
drove haughtily by them, while the lit
tlo pappooses peered through the glass
sides and clapped their hands raptur-
ously
The agent demonstrated with the In
dian, but all to no purpose. He retained
the hearse. and in his frequent visits to
tho surrounding towns, driving in his
somewhat gloom inspiring conveyance,

The inaccuracies which Governor Nc

and criticism. Among the very glaring

that the Harrison administration at the

to Mr.. Cleveland s administration $l24,
600, 900 surplus. -
1t is we'll known that on the goth OF

the then secretary Of the treasury, MIR.
Charles Foster, instructed the chief Of
tho bureau Of engraving and printing to
prepare plates for the issue Of bonds to
supply an impending treasury deficiency.
The fact was first brought to notice by
tho Kansas City Times and has since
been widely published by the leading
newspapers OF the country.
