INDIAN IDEAS OF THE FUTURE.
paIicxe Tint After Death They En-.
ter Into the Forms of Cats,
Dogs and other Animals.

Charles Gibson, the Indian poet and
writer, has the following to say of
the Indian and his idea of Christianity,
says the Dallas News:
"The Indian knows nothing of a
Christ child having been born on De-
cember 25, or any other month, to
save the so-called sinner. He knows
no sin; he says that he came here with
out his own consent, and if he does any
SHINING in the body he sees no reason
why his soul should suffer for the
sins of the body, and if his soul is sent
to hell for his sins, let it go to hell and
suffer, as he will know nothing about
the matter nor the suffering of the
soul. He says there is no fear of hell
in his makeup, as he is nothing but
an Indian until death removes him,
and then he is fit for nothing but worm
food. Asto the Happy Hunting Ground,
he knows nothing of it. This Happy
Hunting Ground has been gotten up by
the pale-face. The Indian says he
doesn't go to He'll or Heaven just as
soon as he dies; claims that the life
that was in his carcass enters
on another life by being a
bird, cat. dog. wolf, or most
any animal that has life. They are
| very careful about abusing little an
imals as cruelty as is pictured by the
| white man. The old buck always eau
| tons the little bucks about being
| cruel to any animal or bird that is not
| to be eaten. The Indian believes there
are certain animals and birds that are
for food, and certain animals and birds
that are not for food. The little ones
of the Indians are always careful of
hurting a cat, dog or anything else
wantonly, as they are told that after
their death they are liable to be a
| dog. cat, bird. or something of the
kind. A full-blood Indian never kills
or cripples anything he doesn't eat
The Indian on his native heath is not
as savage as he is pictured. They were
little savage on the white man in
early days, but, like other men, wher
the conqueror's foot is upon his neck
he has surrendered. Once in a great
while you will find an Indian who hates
white man, because the Indian has
been mistreated by the white man. Or
his native heath he has no religion: he
says that he was not placed upon the
earth by anyone; that he came out o.
the bowels of the earth-out of what
he terms the navel of the earth"

DEAFNESS Cannot he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumblin!g
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-

Demand for More Battleships.

When the Secretary of the Navy recently
demanded more battleships, Congress con-
sidered his recommendations favorably, and
authorized the construction of several pow
erful warships. Protection is what our sea-
ports require, and Notifications will not
adequately supply this. Defense against all
disorders of the digestive organs, such as
dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness, rheu-
matism and nervousness, is adequately at
forded by that efficient remedy, Hostel
