Easy Rexmen for Dyspepsia.

A fruitful cause of indigestion is
eating when one is either physically or
mentally tired. At such times one
should not take solid food. Drink in
stead q glass of hot milk. Nothing is
equal to it as q stimulative and
sedative. The milk should never be
scalded, but heated quickly, and drank
as hot as it q be comfortably. The
process of heating reduces both its
sweetness and stimulating power ia felt
at once. Some portions Of the milk
are appropriated and digested almost
Immediately after they are taken into
the stomach. Many who think they
need stimulant when exhausted by
fatigue will find in a glass of hot milk
an equivalent that will be at once
satisfying and revivifying. without
any deleterious after effects.
1t has long been demonstrated that
motion round and about a vital organ
reacts upon it and vitalizes it. Exer-
else is a great aid to digestion, and
special exercises intended to act
directly on the digestive organs are
recommended as cures for dyspepsia.
The one called the torso exercise is
very beneficial, and is an invaluable
aid to weak and impaired digestion.

INDIANS LOVE GAMBLING.

They Will Bet Big Sums, Even on the
Death of a Friend.
The gambling instinct among Indi-
ans seems rather to be increased than
otherwise by civilization and more than
one Cherokee who drew at Tahleqush
recently for himself, his wife and his
children quite a large sum of money in
full discharge of his personal interest
In the Cherokee strip came near losing
every dollar of it before returning
home. One day when the distribution
was exceptionally heavy two very spec
ulative recipients were standing to-
gether near the post office. A boy was
seen coming along the street on q
bucking pony. For SO young a boy he
held his seat well, but it seemed ex-
ceeding probable to the onlookers that
before he got the pony home he would
either be thrown or would have to get
of. The two Indians discussed the
proposition with much excitement, and
finally man bet the other the en-
tire government per capita that the
boy would be thrown before he got
past them.
The bet was accepted with vicious
eagerness, and as they watched the
antics of the pony as it whirled round,
bucked, sat down on its launches, and
did everything else that WAS ever
known to q trick horse, they almost
came to blows in the excitement of
their argument Finally the horse,
Departing of any other means Of get
ting rid of its rider, leaped in the air
land fell on its side, knocking half tho
sHfs cut of the boy, and then rolling
completely over him. An alteration,
of course, followed IS to which had

[klehly fatally injured. He neither
