The strength which comes to US from eatin g
nourishing food is better than stimulation,
because it is new strength. The health which
belongs to strong body, well nourished by
proper food properly digested), is the only
health that is lasting. The difference be-
tween Shaker Digestive Cordial and other
medicines is simply that it helps nature to
make strength. 1t does not profess to cure
sickness, except as that sickness is a result
of weakness caused by food not properly di-
gested. Shaker Digestive Cordial will re-
Iieve the pangs of indigestion, and make
thin, sick, weak people as well as if their
stomachs had never been out of order. 1t is
a gentle aid to digestion of natures strength
maker, food. At druggists.

] mirrors, and many carried mirrors in
their hands. Others carried bows,
tomahawks, pipes and guns, all deco
rated. Suddenly the music stopped,
each man returned to his seat on the
grass, pipes were lighted and after a
few whiffs passed around. Then the
White Earth band struck up and the
buffalo dance commenced. Each
dancer wore upon his head mask
Intended to represent the head Of a
buffalo. The costumes varied from a
breech clout and moccasins with two
or three colors of paint to a short
skirted cutaway coat and blue over
alls. The step was more complicated,
hop from the right foot, the left
crossed over the right and patted
lightly on the ground, then back and
smartly stamped on the ground, the
body bent nearly double. AS they
circled about, by motions of the head,
arms and body they initiated the
actions of the buffalo at play, much
like the antics of a herd of young

spring. Then the Turtle Mountain
chant began; the drum was pounded
and into the ring came twenty five
men clad in fringed buckskin leggins,
buckskin shirts, and over their heads
grotesque buckskin masks; each held
in his lips a reed whistle which he
blew as he danced. This was the
clown dance. And so through the
day of July 9TH these dances alternat-
ed. Food was brought to the dan
GERS. Kettles of boiled rice and
prunes were served in tin cups and
eaten with chips, straws, bones,
fingers, anything but spoons. In the
afternoon kettles Of boiled dog were
served in the same way and the
liquor in which the meat was cooked
was used for drink. All was savagery,
yet good nature prevailed. I went
among the dancers and talked with
many who were pointed out to me by
the government agent. They spoke
English, and could read and write.
One was an expert accountant and
fine musician, a graduate of Carlisle,
yet here he was naked, painted, eat
ing boiled dog. Then 1 went to the
-Chautaqua and found two prominent
educators, a state official, and a
graduate of West Point, with their
wives and several other ladies, in
bathing suits, padding about in the
water, while half hundred educators
and their children sat or stood about
and watched them. L went into the
auditorium and saw a reproduction of
prize fight and wrestling match
thrown on the canvas by the cinema
tograph.
heard the phonograph reproduce
the sounds at cock fight and the
conversation in a bowery bar room,
and l came back to my work wonder
ing where the line between civiliza-
ton and savagery is drawn. Can you
tell? Yours truly,
GEO. H. PHELPS.

A SOLDIERS EXPERIENCES.

All Vermonters remember the
charge of Major Wells, commanding
battalion of the First Vermont Cav
airy, on July 8, 1868, at the battle of
Gettysburg.
One Vermont boy had his horse
wounded so severely that he had to
fall out of the ranks inside the rebel
lines. Following a ravine he passed
through their lines to our own army,
carrying his sabre, pistol and saddle.
His horse dropped before he reached
our lines.
He picked up an old horse and a
saddle without any breast grit and
with these joined his command.
On July Sth he was with the two
companies of the Vermont boys that
General Fitzpatrick ordered to charge
the rebels at Boonsboro. 1t was then
that General Fitzpatrick in mis- hot
haste called the Vermont boys vile
names and was promptly rebuked by
Major, afterward General Wells.
This charge was down a pike road,
with woods on one side and heavy
rail or pole fence on the other. They
were met by a large force of rebel
cavalry outnumbering the Vermont
boys ten to one. With no chance to
wheel the clash was fearful
In the melee the Vermont boys
horse reared, his saddle slipped back
over the crupper, and as he slipped
to the ground he received a sabre cut
on the head. He was left on the
ground when his comrades got out of
it as best they could.
The Confederates placed him on an
ammunition wagon and carried him a
mile or two to the rear, pulled down
a stack of wheat in a field by the
roadside and left him "under the
stars.'
In the morning a Confederate gem
eral riding by stopped and asked him
''Who are you?" "First Vermont
Cavalry" "Were you in that squad
last night?'' eyes, SIR" "What did
you mean? Did you think you could
wipe out the whole Southern Con-
federacy?" Don't know. We were
ordered to charge and did So" Eyes!
and you did it WE'LL" said the gener-
al, "and it is a damned sha me to use
good men that way"
Turning he called an ord erly and
said "Call a surgeon; Fix this man
up'' $50 to yonder house-get help
give him as good care as you can"
An old man and his wife came up
with blankets, our boy was carried to
the house. The surgeon patched him
up, a little nourishment gave him
new life and before the day was done
he was back in our advancing lines.
The boy and the general both live
today. The boy is our townsman,
Mark NJ. Rice, the veteran engineer
of the Central Vermont railroad and
the general is Fitz Hugh Lee, our hon
ored consul at Havana.-St. AlbaRs
Messenger.

book committee and without the know
ledge of the committee. During the
discussion that followed, Mr.. Welsh
moved that the books be returned to
the consignee.
Mr.. Casey explained that he had as
contained from the supply room clerk
that no dictionaries were in stock and
had directed the secretary to sign q
requisition for them, II being his priv
ilege according to rule to order text
books without the sanction of the COM
mitttee.
The point was raised that dctionar-
les were not text books
1t developed in the discussion that
Mr.. Welsh had ordered the supply clerk
not to send to the freight depot for
the books but that someone, presum-
ably Mr.. Casey, had sent to the depot
for the books and had them delivered
at the supply room where Mr. Welsh
gave orders that the boxes remain un-
opened.
A motion was finally adopted that the
matter be referred to a special COM
nitttee of five members and the boards
attorney to ascertain If the board was
obliged to accept the books or could
return them to the consignee. Presi-
dent Jennings later appointed the fol-
lowing special committees: Messrs.

cobs.
