THE Fourth of July this year fell on
Sunday, the first happening of the
kind since 1886 and one that will not
repeat itself again until 1908. The
Fourth occurs only on Sundays when
the ID 1minical, or Sunday letter for
July happens to be c. which takes
place on the second. eighth, thirteenth
and nineteenth years Of each solsI
cycle. This cycle is q period Of
twenty-eight years, during which the
DAYS of the month of each year return
to the same days of the week as in q
corresponding year of a preceding
cycle, and the same connection Is OBJ
served between the changes Of the days
of the week 10 passing from one year
to the other. 1t is true that the same
day of the month falls on the same day
O ftbe week four times during this cycle,
but the same regular succession Is not
preserved In the intervening years.
Hence the entire period Of twenty
eight years is required to regulate the
calendar. A new cycle commenced in
1896 and the Fourth OF July fails on
Sunday in 1897. 1908, 1908. 1919.
During the nineteenth century the
Fourth has fallen on the Lords day
in the years 1902, 1918, 1919. 1924,
1880, 1s41. 1s47. 1852, 1858, 1869.

T Patch work.!

One Of the most encouraging features
Of cure made by SIS. (Swift's Specifc)
is its per1nanency. OF all diseases, it is
we'll known that those Of the blood are
the most obstinate, aud therefore the
most difficult to cure. The medical
profession, III fact. have virtually ad-
initted that real, deepscated blood
disease is beyond their Skill.
OF course, their admission is not made
in SO many words, but actions speak
louder than words, and their inability to
cure, after months and often years Of
treatment, is sufficient evidence that dis
eases Of the blood cannot be cured by
doctors. Theirmercurial mixtures, al
though taken faithfully, only cover up
the symptoms Of the disease, inducing
the patient to feel that he is being cured;
but when he is sooner or later seized
with stiff joiuts, pain in the bones, etc.,
the evidence Of the DOCTORS patchwork
is conclusive. Such results cannot be cx-
pected from the use Of S. S. S. Being
purely vegetable, containing no harm
full mineral ingredients, it is the only
blood remedy which acts on the true
principle Of forcing the disease from
the system, building up rather than
fearing down the health. No loss of
hair, no stiff joints, no dccrepit lnercu-
R1al wrecks result from the use Of SIS S.

WRONGS OF THE INDIAN
,(concluedcd from Ninth page.)

These facts are not submitted in miti-
cation Of outrages committed by the
Cheyennes, but for the purpose of show
Ing that outrages have been committed
by whites with impunity year after year.
II determination is to be the ultinrat e
policy of the Government, it might be
less cruel to begin the work at once than
to Drolong the 'inhumanitieS which have
characterized our dealings with the In
dams! If 1t be said by way Of excuse
Tor the harsh measures resorted to IN
dealing with the savageS who have
taken UP arms to avenge their wrongs
the excuse will be confronted by the
fact that peaceful Indians have also suf-
fered deeply at the hands Of the whites
BY way Of Illustration, the fate OF the
Catawba nation is but one Of many
black records. Prof. II. Lewis Scaife in
a report made to the South Carolina
Legislature wrote Of the Catawbas: :
1T is pathetic story. Almost all In
dian stories Of an authentic sort or told
truly are essentially of that nature. It
Is story OF wrong, profoundly unde-
served because so thoroughly Improve ok
ed. borne silently, unresentfully, through
generations. The Oatawba nation, at
the close Of the seventeenth and at the
beginning Of the eighteenth centuries,
numbered from $4,000 to 10000 souls
Now the nation is gone, and only Il little
handful of degraded men and women are
left
THE Catawba Indians present a Won
dcrful example of faithfulness and devo-
ton to the American people, but history
has never done them Justice This peo-
pie, which once made the woods Of Caro-
lima ring With the war whoop as they
went forth against the enemies Of the
early settlers, have been allowed to
dwindle away unnoticed, until now the
very fact of the existence Of an Indian
in South Carolina IS, perhaps, not gene
f1l1y known. In counties almost
touching the Catawba Reservation. But
the historians Of America might well
leave unnoticed the Catawba Indians
for let the pen be handled ever SO nicely
it would leave a blot on the pages Of
history. When the white man appeared
the savage glory Of the Catawba ma
ton at once began to decline. the prime
val forests were laid low. and the In
dams we're driven from the haunts they
loved. The white man brought with
him the Indians death warrant, and
the work OF determination has now been
well nigh accomplished.

point. The old negro and the mule took

The mule came out victor. Uncle Sam
