DEATH WAS Nigh
HOW A KENDALL, n. y, MAN
FACED DEATH.
Given up to Die by His Physicians but Received
New Lease Of Life---Ihe Story in
His Own Words
From the Albion, ". y. Ners.

The newspapers have printed great
many statements lately regarding wonder
ful cures, great so-called miracles. etc,
claimed to be the result of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. Some of these stories seemed
almost incredible a. many Of them happened
at some distance, but now We have a case in
our own midst, right here in Orleans County.
Hearing such reports and desiring to verify
the remarkable statements, "a representative
of the WeekIy Ne1rs drove 10 Kendall last
Wednesday and called upon Mr.. Absalam
Haradine, who is wel-to-do farmer resid-
ing about "A mile north of West Kendall in
this county.
Your reporter found Mr.. IIaradine sitting
in an easy chair looking iirSt-rate and ready
20 give the public his remarkable experience.

A scouReE UPON MEN.
An Arapahoe Indian Legend Concerning
the Creation of Women.

Among the many interesting traditions
that have recently been brought Co light
by gentleman who has been making u
careful study of the legends and folklore
of the Cheyenne and AHpahoe Indians OF
tho Indian Territory is one that accounts
In an original way for the origin of wom-
an. The Indians of these tribes sniff dis
dainfully at the rib theory, when the
resident missionaries try 90 teach them tho
initial lessons of the Old Testament re-
garding their first parents. The wise men
of their tribes long ago wrostled with tho
fundamental facts of creation and evolved
theories concerning II which, with tho
lapse of time have come to bo looked upon
by the Indians OF today as historical truths.
IL is little wonder that the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe braves look down upon their
women as inferior beings The legend saws
that originally all men were created with
long, sleek and comCly tails. These tails
were their delight, and they adorned them
with paint, beads and wampum Then
the world was at peace-discOrd and wars
were unknown. Men became prosperous
and proud, forgot their Maker and became
envious and quarrel,ome. Their Maker
became displeaSod with them and sont "a
scourgc upon them to teach them humility
and make them realize their dependence
ON the Great Spirit
He amputatod their tails, and ont of
these beautiful members fashioned women.
Women, ,ay the Cheyennes, still retain
traces of their origin, for we find them
ever trailing after men, frisky and i'm
pulsive.
There are many strange rcsembiances
between the Indian legends and familiar
incidents OF the Old Testament st Louis
Republic.

THE taking down Of three OF the
presidential electors by the State
committee and the substitution OF
three Populist electors in their
stead has brought CONSERVATION to
thousands oil Democrats all over
the State. Some of the most in
fuential papers Of the State, among
them the Arkansas Democrat
and the Helena World, denounce
it as surrender of principle and
a disgrace to the party. They
contend that the people Of Arkan-
sas have already spoken in the
matter and that Bryan and Sowall
are their unanimous choice for
presidents. While no conditions
would take the ELECTORAL vote of
Arkansas awayifrom Bryan, yet
this act has made breech in the
Democratic party in the State that
it will take years to heal.
