heartily recommend Dr. Pierce'S Golden Medical
Discovery for indigestion and torpid liver. I
tried different doctors with but little result. I
could scarcely eat anything-it would put in
such dreadful distress IN my stomach. I had
dull aching pain in my stomach, and continual
hurting behind my shoulders, bad taste in my
mouth. tongue coated brown, had faint spells
with a tired WORKOUT feeling. / took eleven
bottles of Golden Medical Discovery and re-
ceived great benefit. I am now able to work. If
II had not been for this wonderful remedy be-
lieve would not be living to-day
The most difficult diseases to cure are
those which are aggravated by constipation.

should be taken in conjunction with the

From the Dawes Commission.

The following letter was re-
ceived by w. I. Thornton from the
Dawes commission, and explains
the situation in the Cherokee ma
ton, as to the allotment of lands:
Muskogee, |. T. Oct. 26, 1898.
W. /. Thornton:
We are in receipt of your letter
OF the 18th, addressed to the Sec
retary of the interior at Washing
ton, which has been forwarded US
for consideration and appropriate
action.
In response to your inquiry, re-
garding allotment of land in the
Cherokee nation, we would say
that you are evidently laboring
under a mistaken idea, that each
Cherokee will be entitled to 140
or 100 acres of land, when allot-
ment is made.
The secretary has fixed eighty
as the maximum number of acres
to be selected in advance of allot-
ment. This is unquestionably the
highest number of the best grade
of lands that a single individual
will be allowed to select. The
Curtis bill contemplates that allot-
ments shall be equal in value, and
In order that this provision may
be carried out the lands will be
appraised, and the proportion to
which each individual lis entitled
will be equalized on the basis Of
value.
As to whether inter-married
white men in the Cherokee nation
will be entitled to an allotment Of
land, is question which we are
not prepared to answer definitely
at this time, but the matter will be
determined before beginning allot-
ment.

Tobacco I'm England.

In regard to the suggestion which is
sometimes made that one way to re-
lieve agricultural depression in this
country would be for the government
to allow and even to encourage the
growth of tobacco, 1t may be interest
ing to note how long the prohibition
has lasted and how sternly it has been
enforced. This may be gathered from
the following extract: "Cornet Wake
field with party of horse marching
out of Glocester upon the last of July
to Winchcome and Cheltnam to de-
strcy the tobacco planted in these
parts, the country did rise against
them in a great body, to the number
of 500 or 600, giving them reviling and
threatening speeches, even to kill
them horse and man, if that he and his
soldiers did come on, insomuch that
the tumult being so great, he was con-
strained to draw off and nothing more
done."-Mercurius Politicus, 20 July-5

THE TIGER REITERATED.
by a Desperate Resource an Acrobat
Scared n Man-Eater Out
of His Wits.

It will be necessary for the sake OF
my story to mention a certain pecul-
iarity of tigers. 1t is admitted by
most experts, among others by pro-
fessional tiger tanners, that this fero-
| cious beast is at heart an arrant cow
| ard, and seldom dares, unless rendered
| desperate, to attack strange and
unknown animal especially if it ap-
! pears to be large.
| The man was a contortionfst. When
not actually engaged in his labors, he
would often go for long strolls in the
fields to keep himself in trim. One day
he happened to wander farther out
than usual. The country was rather
open, with an occasional tree here and
there It was also undulating, so that
as he walked along he would some
times disappear from sight below a
ridge and then appear on the next. On
this eventful day, just as he reached
the top of the mound, what was his
dismay to see tiger right ahead, and
not more than 500 or 600 yards away.
Before he could hide himself below the
mound the tiger had caught sight of
him and began to bound along toward
him at top speed. Having no means of
defense, there was nothing for him to
do but to start race towards the
nearest tree. The tiger, however, was
by far the better runner of the two,
and was visibly gaining on his compet-
itor. The man realized that long be-
fore he could reach the goal the tiger
would be upon him. What was he to
do? In sheer desperation he resolved
upon a desperate scheme as his last
and only resource. Just as he disap-
peared for an instant over a ridge he
halted, stretched out his legs at right
angles, curled down his head between
his legs, so as to look at the rear, and
extended his arms upward far and
wide in fantastic manner, like the
sails of windmill. At this instant thu
face of the object assumed most hid
eous grimace. A prolonged unearthly
yell was heard, such as had never
pierced the timpanum of tiger, and
the sails of the windmill began to re-
yolve backward and forward as if
sudden whirlwind had burst upon the
scene. The tiger recoiled-what was
this? There stood a ferocious, star
shaped monster, gigantic against the
sky. Its hideous head was situated in
the most unprecedented manner, in
the very center of its body-nay, its
vise-like jaws, between which those
fiendish roars were issuing were act
ually placed above its two fiery eyes.
It's limbs were furiously clamoring for
action against him. And the man whom
he had been chasing, where was he?
Had he already been devoured by this
terrible beast2
At this thought the tiger wayered,
then turned and iled. If his dinner

Naming the Baby.

She was young mother, and 1t was her first. It was the prettiest, the most intelligent-in fact, there never was such an infant. So she thought it should have a name which would distinguish 1t from all others. After a great deal of thinking she announced her decision.
 Papa, she said to the happy father, "I have thought of name for the baby. We will call her Imogen.
 Papa was a matter of fact man, who knew there was nothing in that baby different from most others, and he didn t wish to see his child saddled with a name that wouldn't fit in with other circumstances.
 Fancy her marrying a man named Shocks" he thought. "Imogen Shocks will sound nice, won't it? But if I say so she'll begin to cry and will insist upon it"
 After little reflection he thought of a plan.
 "I think that's a lovely name, my dearl' he cried. Ut was my first sweet hearts. She will take it as a compli- ment, and it will always remind me. Yes, that and your dear mothers name, Mary, are the best know"
 "I think, papa" she said after a pause, i've had better call her Mary, after my mother.
 And the artful man chuckled to him. seh.-Strand Magazine.

" St. FiaCro,"

There are probably few travellers in France who. when riding in the French equivalent of our cab, know what was the origin of the name 'facre," which is given to this convey ance. The name of "fiacre" was first given to hackney carriages in France in 1862, because these vehicles were greatly used by sick and infrm pill grims who visited the shrine of the Scottish saint, St. Fiacre, son of Euen ", King of Scotland. He lived in a cell i'll a deep forest at Brieul, in Brie, where a place had been assigned to him by the Bishop of Maaux. He died In 610, and was buried there, and for ages hls shrine was visited by crowds Of pilgrims from all parts of France till eight centuries afterward, when a spring of pure water suddenly burst up from the chapel floor, and the monks of Meaux, recalling the legend of the spirit of the fountain, translated his relics to their cathedral.

AN ALL AROUND FRIEND.

We need not talkabo the weather when we come to discuss the cause of so many aches and pains which atfiict mankind. Much of these afflictions is from heritage of infrmity of the nerves, muscles and joints of the human body. Many pains and aches, it is true, are brought on by exposure to cold or by sudden chill, but as a general condition to which we may be subject there should be remedy which in a general way is curative for all. This is one reason why St. Jacobs Oils so popular. It cures aches and pains in all forms, and they are wise who keep 1t steadliy on hand to be used in emergencies at any time in the cure of the most acute attacks.
