"MY BOYS -

The well known and popular comedians.
who have been the features of Charles
Hoyt's various plays during the past nine
years, and who will especially be remem-
bered for their delightful portrayal of
"Mink' and "Bingo" in "a Temperance
Town." will be seen in Brattleboro at the
Auditorium Wednesday evening, Sept. Is.
when they will present their new comedy.
my Boys" They will be aided by an
excellent company of we'll known and ca
pable players. "My Boys" abounds in
bright lines, funny situations, charming
music, and refined specialties. The entire
piece is so admirably worked out, and
everything is made to fit in so well and so
smoothly that it is triumph in the line of
musical comedy. Geo. Richards is remark
ably fine in his role as Squire Silas Plum
mer. Eugene Garfield, whose funny per-
sonality and quaint humor have for years
made him one of the most popular of Mr..
Hoyt's comedians, has never been seen to
better advantage than in the character of
"Sam Plummer," the fool of the family
The part gives him ample opportunity for
the display Of number of clever special
ties and those quaint talents that made
him such an enviable reputation in "a
Temperance Town" and "a Midnight
Bell" The work of their supporting com
pany Is uniformly good.

UPRISING OF THE cAEYENNEs.
People who Have Gums and Can shoot
Are Not Afraid of Them.

are MOI AFRAID OF 1 mem.
The people who live in the Powder
river country are accustomed to the re-
ports of Indian uprisings. Tbs scares
have their beginnings in small events.
The one in 1854 was started by two
drunken cattlemen, who were sitting
in house when three Indians came
riding up the road on their ponies.
One of them, who had been drinking
more than was good for him, made
bet that he could raise the hat from
the head of one of the approaching
Indians with his rifle without scalping
him. So he opened fire, and he did raise
the Indians hat, but he shot a trite too
low and creased his scalp, not hurting
him seriously, but starting the blood
and making the Indians angry. They
rode away, and that night came with
a band OF their companions and burned
the ranch houses down. The residents
of that section organized a posse of
200 or 300 and went after the Indians
in earnest, but the men who fired the
ranch were subsequently surrendered,
and the affair quieted down without
more bloodshed.
The Cheyennes then had little set
Element on Otter creek, at its confluence
with the Tongue river AfterWErd a
lot more of their tribesmen joined them,
and there a mission was established for
them, where the government now takes
care OF them. At that time they were
not cared for at all, and their only
means of living was by hunting and
stealing. They were treacherous and
undesirable as neighbOrs. They would
always look around when they made
visit to ranch 10 see whether there
was any arms around, and if there were
not they would set upon the people
and rob them of everything they had
in broad daylight before their eyes. If
they met a man on a horse on the ranch
who was not armed they would set him
afoot on the spot and take his horse and
outfit along with them.
They are the same Indians who took
part in the raid in Nebraska and after
ward participated in the Custer mas
sacre. The Cheyennes are Mt par
ticularlv high class of Indian. though.
They are not especially brave, and
never saw one who was Il coed shot.
They are rapidly diminishing il num-
bers. The locality where they arr now
was once a fine hunting ground. but
that day is gone. They are fed by the
government and furnished with some
of the comforts of civilization. but for
the most part they retain their original
customs from preference. They live in
houses a part Of the time, but eat on
the ground when tables are furnished
Them and in many other ways show

the government in its efforts to civilize
them.-Helena tA;ont) Independent.

A crusade against the use of to-
bacco has recently been started in a
number of our American universities.
1t is a recognized fact that tobacco,
when taken iuto the system in any
form, is injurious not only to the ply
steal health, but to the intellectual de-
velopment as well. The results OBJ
tanned in schools where the use of to-
bacco has been discarded are very en-
couraging, and show clearly the harm
full effect which this obnoxious weed
has upon the system. 1t is gratifying
to note that some of the best colleges
of our country have taken a decided
stand against its use by their students.
The Boston university has issued an
ordinance that those students who are
unwilling to forego the use of tobacco
while within the precincts of the uni
versity viii have their fees returned
AMI their names taken from the books.
The Wesleyan university has made
rule forbidding its students to use
tobacco in any torn, and other univer-
sites have made similar ordinances

The Christian Endeavorers of Ten

colt the Centennial exposition, now in
session at Nashville. Their opposition
is due to the fact that liquor is sold on
the centennial grounds.
The most surprising thing about the
recent protests against saloons in Bos-

taken in the fight. Heretofore they
have always remained silent, but now
they have joined in with their Protest

When a country in which the average

ISR EVIL
Wine is a mOcker, strong drink is
raging and wLosoever is deceived there
by is not wise.-Prov pol.
There is nc sin more easily formed
than drunkenness. Looking lcngingly
upon wine or liquor of any kind, tast-
ing frequently, INDUCING when in com
pany, breed a fondness for the pefni-
cious evil hard to overcome and running
to the soul.
This habit is more frequently formed
through what is called the social
glass" than in any other way. Yet that
glass not only destroys the one who Of
fers it, but works infinite wrong on
the soul and happiness of the one
tempted to join him.
Drink besots the intellect and makes
4 person uncouth, foul and even dan-
gerous. 1t leads to crime and brings
woe of the bitterest character into the
presence of innocence and love. it
breaks hearts and fills prisons and pen
itentiaries with criminals and mur-
derers. But, worst of all, it causes the
loss of souls. Nothing that defles can
enter Heaven, and it is distinctly stated
III the Bible that drunkards are exclud-
ed from eternal happiness. The only
safe method is to abstain wholly from
liquors, and so preserve ones own
purity of conduct, and set a good en-
ample to others by doing so.-Sophie

permanent homes. The introduction of
slavery and its application to staple
crops speedily gave an aristocratic tone
to society in both provinces, but be-
tween them, in North Carolina, and to
the south of them, in Georgia, there
were fewer wealthy settlers and no
staple crops to speak of, so that from the
first society in these provinces was
more or less democratic in spite of
slavery. Before, however, the gentry of
the coast could expand and occupy the
country lying between the Blue Ridge
and the Alleghanies and beyond the
latter range of mountains a very
different sort of people had moved in

people, owing TO their habits and the
nature of their soil. slavery could take
