INDIAN MISSIONARIES STORY.
Years OF Toiisome Ministry Among the
Chocta ws.

Little York, Ind, April 2~.L(Special.)
Twenty five years ago, the Rev. ".
II. Thompson left Indiana. For a time
he preached In Arkansas, afterwards
entering on the regular missionary
work among the Choctaw Indians. '
For FIVE years he lived and labored
among the full bloods Of the western
prairies, until on April 4, 1885, having
lost his wife. he left the circuit on
which he had preached sc long, and
commenced travelling missionary work
among the Indians Of the various
tribes scattered in the West.
The irregular work involved a great
deal Of travel over the prairies. The
drinking Of so much alkali water,
brought on Kidney Troubles, which ter
minated in Diabetes.
Finally, while laboring among the
Greek Indians at Wagner, Indian Ter
rftory, this noble nan was stricken
down completely. A Chicago specialist
was summoned, and after a careful
examination, declared that there was
not the slightest chance Of his recov-
cry. Besides the prescriptions of the
doctors, he tried many other medicines,
but all to no avail. He says:
81 had concluded that my days were
drawing to a close, when l picked up
an Almanac telling Of the cures Of
Diabetes by the use Of Dodd's Kidney
pills. I sent for two boxes. / gained
strength and spirits from the time l
commenced to use them, and so J.. sent
for more. ] am now completely cured,
and have not the slightest symptom OF
my old trouble.
IL am 6S years of age. / tell every
body Of the wonders Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done for me. l can certainly
indorse them heartily, and vouch that
they are all that Is claimed for them.
They have certainly been q God-send
to me-"

Remedy that has ever cured Bright's
Disease, Diabetes or Dropsy and they

Macon, Ga, Telegraph: The thief Is
not very choice about what he steals
these days Not very many months
ago the Telegraph related an instance
where somebody had stolen a redrhot

ing cooked. Now comes a man who
stole four bee hives In which were q
myriad OF the little stingers. 1t is well
known that q professional chicken thief

suade the barnyard fowls to keep a
deadly silence at night while he picks

comes fixed, but 1t IL rather surprising
to hear hat any man a make bees
understand that they must not sting
him as he lifts a busy hive to his Shout

marches across country with II. Z
This is what has been done, however.
In a neighborhood through which Ross
street runs q bee farm was robbed
night before last and four big hives
were carried SO far that the bees have
not yet found their way back TO their
old homes. 1t Is said that when bees
want to go to any particular place they
rise In the air and circle around until
they find the proper direction. and then
they make that is commonly known
as a "bee line" going straighter to the
place than a crow could fly.
