New Cure for Rheumatism.

Hester, Mo-, Dec. 16.-An unusual
case which has recently come to light
here Is exciting the keenest Interest
among medical men. Mrs. Ellenor
Guardhouse suffered for over forty
years with Seattle Rheumatism sc. Sc
verely and so constantly that her case
has been regarded as chronic and abso-
lutely incurable. At times the pain was
almost unbearable and she could not
rest day or night.
Some few months ago she was Undue
I'd to try Dodd's Kidney Pills, a rem
edy recently introduced in this neigh
borhood. The immediate results were
magical and she continued till she had
taken eight boxes, and nov she de-
clares she has not an ache or pain left.
She believes that she Is completely ana
permanently cured, and as she has not
used the pills for some months and Is
to-day in the best Of health, the doctors
who were at first skeptical are amazed.

Mythology In Kansas.

Pittsburg Gazette: Some one in
Kansas proposed that a statue Of Ceres
be placed on the dome Of the new state
house, but now he wishes he hadn't
made the proposition" remarked the
exchange editor as he laid down a Kan
sas paper.
Whats the objection?" asked the
telegraph editor. ~
1T Is urged that no one In Kansas
knows the lady. and that she was prob
ably an actress anyhow. II Is the opin-
Ion that the figure of Chief F~ewclothes,
an Indian, would be more appropriate
as an ornament to the dome OF the
Kansas state house."
We'll i should think that a statue OF
Chief Fewclothes would be a nude de-
parture at any rate"

In a letter to the Reed City, Mich,

9th Of May, 1901:
This Is a fine country for q poor
man, as he can go out on the hay slews
and cut all the hay he needs. He turns
his cattle out on the prairie. and when
he Is not using his horses, he turns
them out also. There Is such III album

red and black currants. dewberries,
plums, red and black cherries, and red
raspberries. All Of these fruits grow
wild. Then the flowers that dot the
prairies, making them look like a real

A BI-Sexual Pronoun.

London Chronicle: A correspondent
comes forward to fill a few Of the gaps
in the English language. He notes the
awkwardness caused by the lack of a
bi-sexual pronoun to cover him and
'her" and the rest. Well, the word
"Eurasian"-made up Of Europe and
Asia-gives the clew. Why not COM
mingle he and she and make
heesh? And thinner Is the obvious
resultant Of him and her" while
his and her precipitate into "hiz-
GER" What do you think of this sem
tence, which illustrates the new En-
glish? "A writer Is annoyed when
heesh finds hizzer work treated as pub
lie property, rather than hizzers, and
instead of being credited to thinner Is
priated by papers by which heesh is
not remunerated."

CLOTHES PROVE THEIR RUIN.
indIans Dying Or From the Effects
Of Wearing Coats.

Washington letter. The white mans
glory-his clothes-is likely to prove
the bane of the red man of the
west. AT least one tribe Of Indians
Is ~succumbing to the e~vervating iniu-
ence OF the tailor-made coat. The Topo-
kawas. Of whom a few lonely individuals
still survive. were an agricultural race
living happily In the bottom lands of the
Colorado river near the Gulf OF Cali
fornia. They peacefully titled the soil
and went about as their ancestors had
done for hundreds OF years, enjoying life
In their untutored fashion. But one day
sudden envy OF the white mans wardrobe
implanted itself In their breasts.
Then after each harvest the head of the
family put 70 or 100 pounds OF corn into
small sacks and made the seventy-five
miles. journey to Yuma Here the corn
was sold to the traders for about $3.50,
which is fully SO cents under the market
value, and he Invariably spent all OF the
proceeds in shirts and overalls for him.
self and calico for his wives.
1t was not alone the unaccustomed ply
steal oppression following the wearing of
these unusual garments that weakened
the wage but they ever began to deny
themselves proper food in saving money
to make additions to their collection of
store clothes" To be dressed like the
ncighboring white man was a distinction
among the braves that cost them dear.
Professor w. j.. MCGEE of the bureau Of
ethnology said of this strange case:
The fact is, they are dying from civil
~ization, or II would be more proper to say,
from the fact that their civilization has
not kept pace with their ambition. They
are an interesting people from the fact
that they are the lowest. most primitive
and thoroughly degraded of all the In
dian tribes in the southwest"
