Indians Going Into Business.

The missionary may have builded
better than he knew. Several Indians,
acting in the spirit of emulation, have
started stores of their own, and in some
instances carry a stock of $4,000 te
$4,000. There are six stores Of this
description on their islands. These
educated Indians have arrived at the
conclusion that there Is money in COM
mercial life, and have decided to COM
pete with Mr.. Duncan and his Portland
capitalists. Mr.. Duncan has met his
competition, first by selling -four at
$1.25 a sack and then raising dock
rates to So per ton upon all goods not
landed for his store. The Indians have
determined to build a. dock Of their
own, and have announced that they
will complete 1t this summer and allow
anyone to land there who wishes to.
This is no idle boast, as they have
plenty of money and can pay cash for
work they don't do themselves. Edu-
cational and religious movements on
the islands are being overshadowed by
commercial matters. Rich, free mill
ing quartz has been found, and the
Indians hope before long to have stamp
mills at work.-Alaska Miner.

New treatment for Hiccough,

A female patient presented herself at
q French hospital for a rebellious hic-
cough, which had resisted all treatment
for four days. She was asked to show
the tongue, and it was noticed that
with the putting out of the tongue, the
hiccough ceased. The same thing has
been since tried, and with success In
other cases. All that is necessary ap-
parently is to strongly push the tongue
out of the mouth and hold it so, for q
minute or two 1t is also suggested
now to try the same thing in suffocative
cough, as whooping cough, and choking
by rrespirable gases.

New England Forts Stolen Canno,

New England Forts Stolen Cannon.
A long time ago Fort Fairfield felt
the need of a cannon in it's business.
So a determined band went up to Fort
Kent and the wicked notion Of stealing
a cannon from the warIike dwellers
In that frontier town. The Fort Kent
folks were waiting for 'em with guns
cooked and primed, but in some re-
markably slick way the Fort Fairfield
crowd slipped in and got away with
the cannon. On the way down to ST.
John the boat containing the cannon
was overturned and the ordnance was
dumped into the river. But, not a whit
dismayed, the loyal little band groped
around, hooked into the piece and
finally lugged it in triumph into Fort
Fairfield. Then Fort Kent company
went to Fort Fairfield to retake the
cannon, but they couldn't find the piece
and marched back again. Since then
the cannon has been kept carefully Sc
creted. On festive occasions 1t Is
brought out to bark, and then Is again
hurried away into retirement.

StOp!. Women,

And consider that in addressing Mrs.
Plnkham you are confding your private
Ills to a woman-a woman whose ex-
perience in treating woman's diseases
Is greater than that of any living ply
slcian, male or female.
You can talk freely to a woman when
1t is revolving to relate your private
troubles to man; besides, man does
not understand, simply because he isa
man.
MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
INVITATION.
Women suffering from any form Of
femalewealness are invited topromptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham. at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to a woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, 1t is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
In return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very
foolish if she does not take advantage
of this generous offer of assistance.

We must be continually sacrificing
our own wills, as opportunity serves
to the will of others; bearing without
notice sights and sounds that annoy us
setting about this or that task, when
we had far rather be doing something
very different; perseyering in it, often
when we are thoroughly tired of it
keeping company for duty's sake, when
it would be great JOY to to US to be
by ourselves; besides all the trtf1ing un-
toward accidents Of life; bodily pain
and weakness long continued, and per

Maj. Moses P. Handy, who was an
pointed by President Mckinley as a
commissioner to the Paris exposition oi
1900, has left New York for France on
the steamer La Gascogne for the pur.
pose OF arranging for space for the ex.

Recent complaints lodged with the
state department by Minister De LONE
coupled with reports from government
officers and newspapers, indicate that

making desperate efforts to aid the
struggling insurgents with war mater

Captain Zalinski recommendes the
creation of a new department to be
known as the Department of Military
Instruction. The object is to push
through the coming session of Congress
bill giving detail OF army officers
and non-commissioned officers to towns
of $4,000 inhabitants and upwards fol
the purpose of affording military in
struction in the public schools.
Hon. Benjamin Butterworth, com
missioner of patents, has issued ar
order requiring all patent attorneys tc
be registered in the United States
patent office, and stating the require

to be one of the most important orders
ever issued by a commissioner of pat

reformation of some of the abuses OF
patent practice.
Mrs. Mary G. Jones has just returned
from Washington where she visited
President Mckinley in behalf of S. D.

The selfish man may have many val
liable traits, but he can never have
real heroism, because he never can for
get himself; he never can throw him
self into any cause or any work with
an individual heart. Life to him Is
only valuable for what 1t brings to
him. He is happy on unhappy accord
ing to what he gets or does not get;
while the heroic man prizes life for
what he can bring to it, and is happy or
the reverse according to what he does

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether. and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incuroble. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. 1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
TEN. They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars

Is the son of one king and the nephew
Of another, with q pretty fair chance

A VIRGINIA HUSKING.
An Occasion of Mingled Toll and Rev.
elry In the Old Regime.

AN ~ cAi0R 0RIGu 1O1l ana ReV'
e1ry In the Old Regime.
I will endeavor to delineate the
scenes and incidents, but words cannot
impart to the minds of others the In.
born sense or enjoyment experienced
by those who participated in those fes-
tive scenes of Southern life In the old
dominion.
Those corn husking festivals united
labor with pleasure and accomplished
great amount of work In a short time
under pleasant circumstances. The
preparation for the final event (that
Is, hauling In the corn from the field,
was commenced several days before
the specified time for the gathering Of
the clans. All the wagons and OK carts
were in reQuisition, in which the corn
was hauled to a suitable place in the
vicinity of the barn and there piled up
In rick fifteen or twenty feet high,
In length sufficient to contain the guam
tity or yield of the crop. A rick $50
feet in length Is sometimes required to
contain the crop of a large plantation.
AS the preparations approach compile
ton the time is selected, which Is in
variably at night, and the invitations
are sent to the neighbors, families and
servants, which include field hands.
At the proper time the hands assem-
BILE around the rick and await the Or
ders Of the Corn King, who Is not
transient dignitary, selected on the oc-
casion to perform the duties for that
time only, but Is selected on the ground
Of his natural ability to perform the
duties Of leader at all the huskings In
the nefghbOrhOOd, and holds the Gov
eted position until some aspiring rival
dethrones him by superior ability to i'm
provise, or by more ready wit or more
powerful lungs. He Is q leader of his
race, and on this occasion this dark
complexioned descendant, perhaps, of
African rOyalty-and in addition to
the above qualities possessed of a mas
sive form, assumed an imperious air;
all this, with stentorian voice equal
In volume to fog horn, impressed
those of his race In the lower grades
with feelings Of pride and eagerness to
obey his commands. After His Mig
erty ascends his throne (the top Of the
rick he assumes a dignifled posture
stretches forth his arm and shouts In
slow and slightly reduced cadence,
the others responding in the chorus:
O-yes-O!
Jerk off de husk en- let her go,
O-yes-O!

during the night. During the early
hours Of the night the ladies Of the
