can the Indian farmer do without his cat

aid Of lighter plows. act a substitute,
but unfortunately in his enfeebled condi-

But even with short rations, life can be

ing her for same and no relief could she
get l was advised by my uncle. P. a.
Robuck. now living in Cochran, Ga, who
had visited the springs, and found such
great relief for the kidney disease he had
SO long been a sufferer OF, and knowing
of the waters to be good for rheumatism,
as I had tried al patent medicines I saw
advertised, and no relief could she gel,
after suffering for months and becoming
almost a hopeless invalid. l brought her
TO Suwanee Sulphur Springs in Florida,
and after staying there seventy days she
could get about lively and quick as any
one, and felt no symptoms of pain after
the seventy days. We returned to Hawk
insville, Ca, and she stin improved in
health and flesh, and was finally cured by
nothing but the waters used from Su-
vance Springs. Our little girl, Almira, at
the same time we visited the springs was
9 months old. At the age of one month,
it was afflicted with dreadful breaking
out all over its face and body, eyes begun
TO inlame, and we thought for time
il would lose the sight II troubled us
very much We called in a doctor, who
did not think there was much the matter,
but the child continued to grow worse,
and it was suffering SO much and was SO
fretful that We had no rest night or day.
We did everything we could but brought
no relief 70 the little sufferer. l tried ev-
erythng at hand, or that could hear OF,
but without the desired effect. About
this time we got 70 the springs. In a few
days 1 could tell it was improving, and in
less than two months it was perfectly
well. Splotches all left the skin; il is now
a healthy child, and has a bright-good
eye and fair skin as you wish to see.
Ever since l was Is years old l have had
catarrh of the head. I tried all kinds OF
medicine aud the best physicians for Is
years, but without any benefit. When
visited the Suwanee Springs with my
wife for the rheumatism, l found the
water was a cure for catarrh, and after
using it a while my head began to feel
clear, my breath got pure and sweet and
l have never been troubled with neuralgia,
and but very little with catarrh since 1t

An UnnOurned Hero.

While the country at large has
such losses as the death of
General LaWtOn, there have been
many pathetic incidents Of the war in
the Philippines which have gone un-
,heralded and unnoticed. The closing
chapter of one of.these will be marked
at the Schuylkill Arsenal on Thursday
morning, when all the personal effects
of Philadelphia boy who served as a
private in cavalry regiment will be
sold at public auction. The soldiers
name was Jones, and he fought in a
number of battles around Manila until
he was stricken with fever. He lived
to return to this country, but died in
hospital. The poor fellow had no
relatives. or lat least none can be
found. so his little stipend of back pay
and the trihe that will be realized
from the sale of his effects will revert
back to the. government. The entire
outfit consists of a canvas telescope,
four photographs of scenes at Manila,
which were probably bought as keep
sakes: copy Of the Manila Freedom,
