TIE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

The EXCEL LENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish toimpress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co,
only, knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIa SYRUP Co. with the mcdi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
OF the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives.
as it acts on the Kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects. please remember the name of
the Company

The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1898-10-12
A Pathetic Statement,

Old Geronimo, the Apache chief,
now in Omaha attending the con-
gress of red men at the exposition,
has unbosomed himself upon the
Indian uprising in Minnesota:
II have never been in Minneso-
ia, but l hear that up there and
for hundreds Of miles beyond the
white men are as many as the
blades of grass. If that is so,
what can a Jew poor Indians dc in
fight? They are making great
mistake and are fools. For years
| fought the white men, thinking
that with my few braves | could
kill them all, and that we would
again have the land that our Great
Father gave us and covered with
game. / thought that after we
had killed the white men the
buffalo, deer and antelope would
come back. After / fought and
lost and after / travelled over the
country in which the white man
lives and saw his cities and the
xvS,r1v thof ha hod dona INV heart
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1898-10-12

"A GREAT many people are ask
ing if the provision Of the Curtis
law requiring Cherokee citizens to
relinquish ownership of land in
excess Of their pro rata share will
be enforced. In answer to such
the CHIEFTAIN gives expression to
the opinion that that part OF the
Curtis law is impossible of en-
forcement under existing condi-
tions. But nevertheless it would
certainly be the part Of wisdom for
all large land holders in the Cher
okee nation to lose no time in dis
posing of all land in excess of
one hundred and fifty or one hum
dred and sixty acres per each
member of the family. There is
little doubt but allotment is COM
ing and individual holding must
to what will be something
near just in the matter.
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1898-10-12

AS THE WINDS BLOW.
Bvreet Memories Of n Once Happy
Time Awakened BY bundle
OF Old Letters.

I found them few evenings ago
while rummaging through pile Of for
gotten manuscripts. They were tied
with lavender ribbon and still retained
the odor Of the violets she used to
love.
AS my eyes rested on the dingy and
brown envelopes and the faded knot OF
ribbon, thousand memories of the
old days surged through my mind
the old days when she and would wan-
der along the banks Of the RIVER In the
glad sunshine telling each other the
story Of hearts that is told SO often
yet never grows old.
You know the tale, madame. Yes,
you have heard it, and with burning
cheeks and throbbing heart you lis
tened to It, just as others had before
you, and as others will after you and

look she gave me told the secret Of her

All, madame, the Joy Of that moment.
She placed her soft arms around my
neck and whispered: Il love you"

with all it's whims and vagaries, I knew

Then by and by went away.
You know, madame, how sometimes
