AN INDIAN ROMANCE.
Two Brothers Who Loved the Same
Maiden.

From the Century.
In couples and in small companies the
In lians hunted the deer, elk and ante
lope; and while the danger was always
present, tragedies sometimes occurred in
which neither wild beasts nor inimical
tribes had part, but which arose from
feelings and impulses common to human
nature. The Northumberland advent
ure took place in the last century. Two
brothers lo7ed the same Woman. She
favored the younger, but by some means
the elder took her to wife. They were
married in the fall of the year, and win
ter passed by, aud one day in the spring
the brothers went forth to hunt together.
Walking near the breaks of Clearwater
the elder stopped to look over the edge
of the canyon. where, q thousand feet
below. the river g.istened in the morning

upon a ledge that, jutted out from the

the nest. IL know what will do he
said; II will make rope"
SO the two set to work They stepped
the bark from the willows, plated it
into rope strong enough TO hold man.
This done, they threw one end oves the
precipice to see if it was long enough to
reach the nest; but it fell far short. Then
they worked on, lengthening the rope I'M
til finally it rested upon the ledge They
agreed thatlone was toilet the other down

rope about his body, and the younger
lowered him carefully until his feet were
on the ledge AS he walked al ne to-

tossed over the cliff; instinctively he

but the man was careful not to anger
them. and when they went away again he
secured a part of the game they had
brought to their young.
DAYS wore OF, and the mans life was
sustained by the food the old eagles
brought: but his distress nom thirst was
great. 50 he cleaned out the little hollows
in the rock to catch the rain, covering

The young eagles became accustomed to
his companionship and the touch of his
hand, but by and by the time came when
they were ready to fly, and death looked
the lonely man in the face. HereSolved
to make an effort to reach the ground.
He had hidden his rope in crevice in
the rock to keep it from drying; he now
tied it firmly about his body, fastening
each end strongly to an eagle, leaving
sufficient length between the birds and
himself to give full play to their wings.
He reasoned that if the eagles were not
able to fly with his weight they would
break bis fall by their endeavors to save
themselves At all events it was death
to remain upon the ledge after they had
gone. When all was ready, with his bow
and qulver fastened upon his neck, he
pushed the wondering eagles off their
nest over the cliff, and they bore their
strange burden down, down the canyon,
and finally weary with their enforced
fight. alighted upon tree at the bot
tom. The man took feather from each
of his preservers and released them
then he swung himself down through
the branches to the ground, and, taking
the shortest trail to his home, came up
on his brother and his wife sitting to-
gether outside the tent. 1t took but a
moment to send an arrow through the
unsuspecting man who had so cruelty
betrayed him; then, confronting the
woman, in intensity Of hope, he asked,
Are you glad have eome?'' She was
silent, but her face told him the truth,
and a second arrow pierced her heart.
Her body fell over the PROSTATE form of
the younger brother before ony one in
camp realized that he who had long been
given up as dead had returned to avenge
his grievous wrongs.

WILD IN TIE WOODS.
A HALF NUDE AND CRAZY OLD
MAN
Captured in the Woods in DOuglerty
COuntV--A Pitiable Object of
Humanity.

From the Albany Herald.
Ben Lockett, negro who lives on
Westbrook's Lockett place, five miles
southwest of the city, drove into town
yesterday with one of the most pitiable
objects of humanity ever seen on the
streets of Albany. 1t was vas an old half
nude, crazy negro man, who was found
wandering aimlessly about in the woods
at an early hour yesterday morning.
The old man had on neither shoes,
pants nor hat His only garments were
a shirt and a coat His feet and legs
were badly scratched and scaritied from
wandering through the woods, and the
poor old mans face and hands, once
black, looked like he had been rubbed
with ashes. In his half nude condition
he was shivering with cold as he sat in
the buggy with his hands tied and Sc
curely fastened to the iron armpiece at
one end of the seat.

Excitement at the Exposition.

Liberal Arts Building there is always
pressing crowd, waiting their turn to
feast their eyes upon the magnificent
display of sSlid silver. cut glass, watches,

Never before has such brilliant exhi bit
been shown in Georgia, and it is one of
the features of the Exposition. This

wedding invitations and visiting cards
and have one ofltheir curious presses run

A Related Success.

Mr.. Samuel Appleton, the wealthy
manufacturer of Bristol, Pa, kwho died
the other day, mad remarkable career,
He was sixty six years old at the time
of his death, and every one of his vent
ures was failure until about ten years
ago. The last time he failed he became
so discouraged that he declared that he
had no courage, no character. no cash
and no credit. He started again in
small way and inscribed on his business
card: "No g., No c., No c., No G."
People inquired the meaning of the mys-
terious inscription, and Appleton became
well advertised. His business increased
and in ten years he was rich man.
1t is probably the only instance on
record whele a man made fame and Tor
tune by advertising the fact that he had
no courage, character, cash or credit.
But his success is, of course, due to the
unwilingness of people to accept his es-
innate OF himself They determined to
show him that he was mistaken, and
they succeeded.

Physicians to-day get lid of rheuma

ness, melancholy, hy5teria and other re
suits Of nervous exhaustion. by building
up the system and supporting its delicate
nerve parts by the use of Paine's celery
compound.
Paine's celery compound attacks the
disease by getting the system back to its
properly nourished condition. 1t stands
alone in the history Of medicine. 1t is
a certain specific for the cure, not only
of rheumatism, but also Of all diseases
due to impoverished nerves and blood.
The close connection OF well fed nerves
and brain with health, is the solid rock
upon which Pajne's celery compound
stands. The thousands of men and VIC
men sll over the country who have been
cured of rheumatism once and for all, by
Paire's celery compound, have made
good all that the medical fraternity first
predicted for it,
That it restores health and strength to
the body made weary, listless and des-
pondent from nervous debility, needs no
proof to-day in thousands of homes.
The list of those it has freed from
rheumatism is long one 1t contains a

in the United States and Canada is rep.

Paine's celery compound was first pre-
pared by Prof. Edward E Phelps. NJ. D,

since its first appearance it has been the
one recognized nerve and brain inyigora-
tor among medical men. It's constant
use by physicians, where an active nu-

KITTRELL, n. O., Sept. Y.


KrrTRE1L, N. o., Sept. 81.
To the Editor of the News and Observer
The suddenne-s AID severity of the
prevailing drought is almost without
precade..t. Two weeks ago the ground
was moist. But ten days or more OF
fierce heat has worked great Injury which
would have been immensely greater out
for the Iateness of the season. AS it is,
late corn and peas are blasted, late cot
ton land an unusually large part Of the
crop is late), is forced into premature
opening and is inferior. While IN some
places the forest trees are apparently dy-
ing, acres together.
There has been nothing to equal 1t
since the famous drought Of 1881 That
year was cry from the beginning.
Scarcely enough rain fell during the
whole farming months to run in the fur
rows Tar river became mere brook,
and its largest tributaries ceased to run
entirely.
Old people pronounced it the dIyest
summer since 1896 In 1926 the drought
produced veritabIe panic. People were
so alarmed aud so apprehensive of starv-
ing that large numbers in this sec
ton migrated to Tennessee, where the
crops were, | believe, very good. But
the wheat crop of the following spring
was good here, verifying the adage;
Sow in dust
And reap you must.
And with a little extra economy the
normal condition was soon restored.
In 1881 the cotton crop here was small
and corn a total failure. But tobacco
Jared worst of all The crop made
scarcely any growth until the rains set
in just OF, or very near, the equinox.
Then it suddenly grew off finely and
promised good crop until the remarka-
Bile night of October I'd brought sleet,
freeze and heavy frost between the two
suns.
AS scarcely stalk of tobacco had been
housed, ali was ruined. Fer the next
twelve months all the markets of North
Carolina and Virginia were numbered
with frosted" tobacco which sold, most
of it, for less than one cent a pound,
much of it for half cent and less. This
was sad fail from the 20, 40 and even
go cents a pound, which many had aver
aged in years previous.
OF course there is no such loss IN any
crop this year, although the summer has
been too dry throughout. Indeed We
have upon the whole been passing
through dry period since July, 1892.
There may not have been much deficiency
of actual rainfall. But as all observing
people know, the rain guage is not always
a criterion of the actual moisture in the
soil. Rain may be followed by drying
winds or parchipg SUBS so as to evapor-
ate it or negative its effects.
AS l said, this has been the general
cond .tion since July 1892. Previous to
that we had about seven years of ex-
cessiye moisture. In fact the rivers
were so heavy and 50 frequent during
that period that very great harm re-
suited to the farming lands Of this sec
ton from washing away the sell THIS
seven year cycle and the fact that 1907,
1874, 1881, 1888 and 1895 have been
drought, or at least the dryest seasons
in the past thirty years, would seem to
confirm the old time belief in the seven
year cycle.

pie respecting financial matters wa.
introduced in the senate to-day by Mr.
PETER. The questions to be submit.
ted to the people are to include:
Shall congress provide for the issue
Of interest-bearing' bonds? Shall con.
gress provide for the withdrawal of the
greenbacks from circulation? Shall
congress provide for free coinage Of
gold and silver at the present legal
ratio? and shall paper money be issued
by the government only?
or course this is visionary and
foolish"
But it would settle the currency
question so quick it would make Shy
locks head swim.
or course congress will not consider
such a proposition.
The people have no right to say any
thing about the affairs Of the nation.
Congress and the bankers will attend
to that.
The suspicion must not be allowed
to get abroad that the American con-
gress has no more sense than to ask
the people of the country what they
want.
VI course PETER is crazy.
And so are the people who sent him
there.
The COMPOUNDED fools will wreck all
the sacred institutions that ingenious
fnanciers have sacrificed their honor
and their manhood for years to up
hold.
The very idea of letting the common
cattle vote upon questions of such
grave import to the money power of
the world.
Absurd, foolish, fanatical. ridicu-
lous, unprecedented, unconstitutional.
paternal, socialistic and obnoxious to
all the rules Of dignity and the divine
right of kings.
1t is slam at the time honored GUS
toms Of countless generations of law
yers and bankers to rule the world.
Mr.. PETERS whiskers are not half
as long as the venerable moss that
proclaims the wisdom and safety of
letting the lawyers and bankers rule.
The people, the masses them asses)
are fools-else why have they hereto
fore delegated all power to lawyers
and bankers.
They can't do anything-else they
would have done something long ago.
They recognize the craftsmanship,
financial wisdom, loyalty and fore
sight Of the bankers and lawyers.
Mr.. PETER has insulted the nation
by insinuating that the congress
which the people have created don't
know its business, and that they will
have to attend to the matter them
selves.
The people pay lawyers and bankers
to do these things.
Why should they be bothered about
what their hired men can do so much
more expeditiously and legally than
they can?
Why, the fool people would be just
as likely as not to vote for Justice
and every lawyer on earth knows that
justice is illegal.
