POCAHoNTAS OF PINE RIDGE
Quarter Bred Sioux Braves Death to
Wed a Paleface

An Indian romance which almost rivals
that of Pocahontas and Captain John
Smith comes from Pine Ridge agency.

ter-bred Sioux. The couple rode from Pine

now on! Give me the poppy, either
singly or by the acre, in future. l shall
never forget the blaze of orange and yell
low presented to our view as we came in
sight of the fields. There must have
been at least hundred acres of poppies,
the graceful flowers waving in the light
breeze, and so completely covering the
ground that not a vestige of mother
earth could we see. The brilliant pic
ture was set in beautiful frame of
green, having for fitting background
the frowning heights of Mount Lowe,
towering 5000 feet above us, its some
what barren outline agreeably relieved
about half way up by the White Pal
ace" on Echo mountain.
Interspersed amongst the poppies were
numerous shade and fruit trees, and un
der each was gathered a happy group of
picnickers, drinking their fill of nature,
not unadorned, but certainly more beau
tifully attired than l have ever seen her
dressed.
There were all sorts and conditions of
men, accompanied by their wives and
children, their sisters and their cousins
and their aunts," and, mayhap, more
than one maiden had deeper color and
brighter eye than could be altogether
accounted for by the reflection of the
poppy. Some had come by train, some
as we had done, and some by the more
aristocratic six or four-in- hand, and
who shall say whether the voice of
nature did not preach as good sermon
to them as many an eloquent divine de-
livered within his consecrated church?
Before returning, everyone gathered a
posey, and today many a home is
brighter and many heart is lighter for
a day amongst the poppies.
Let me advise all who have hitherto
not appreciated the poppy not to miss
the opportunity of seeing her, as we did,
in all her glory.

at vast length the question of how they
should approach his grace The solici-

approaching deputation members whose
names might be offensive to him, Is, the
Dundee Advertiser says, something to
marvel at. One member suggested that
the deputation approach "in quiet, easy,
gentlemanly way, which he was quite sure
would be appreciated by his grace, the
duke" What a pity, our contemporary

"The season is approaching" said a
prominent physician to the writer re-
Gently, when a great many people will
suffer from what is known as hay
fever, and as but few who are suscepti-
BILE to the complaint know how to
avoid, much less to cure, it, a few re-
marks about the nature and treatment
of the ailment may not be uninterest-
ing. ~
Hay fever is a nervous affection usu-
ally, most prevalent during<the spring
and early summer, frem which the
poorer classes and more especially
those living in populous towns rarely,
if ever, Suffer. 1t is known only to the
educ2ted. whose nervous systems are
l!%hly developed, and. though not in
any sense dangerous, it is at all times
very irritating and troublesome. The
smell of hay, grass, the pollen of flow
ers, the odor of fruit dust or draught
will generate the complaint or excite
an attack in persons subject to it, but
rain or damp weather invariably
brings relief At one time it was gener-
ally supposed that the odor of hay
when being mown or carried could
alone induce the affection, which is
closely analogous to asthma, but recent
observation shows that its prevalence
is entirely Independent of the existence
of hay fields and is really a nervous de-
rangement.
"A visit to the seaside a trip to sea
or residence in populous town will,
however, remove the asthmatic ten
dency, but one of the best remedies is
tobacco smoke, retained in the mouth
as long as possible and then elected
through the nostrils. The inhalation
of the steam of ten drops of creosote
in a pint of hot water Is also good, or
twenty drops of spirits of camphor to
the same quantity Of water makes a
very effective Inhalation. But the affec-
tion being a nervous one, tonics and
nourishing diet are more essential than
any of these palliatives, which merely
afford temporary relief. "-Washington
