Orridge, however, prided himself on
thoroughness in this work of his; and
Loreton guessed his motives when he
heard him arranging further meet
ings. He went so far as To ask Uncle
Sam to stay with him for a week.
Loreton left them carefully alone
till the day after the old gentleman's
departure, when he went to bridges
rooms to hear results. Orridge was
radiant. couldn't trace myself any

together. 1.-THE good old chap is as

old man. Do you know" he went on,
II liked Uncle Sam? He's as clever
as he can stick for one thing"
Don't be too modest" interrupted
Loreton.
"Juggins! His cleverness does not
happen to be in my line, that's all"
What line is it in, may ask?"
"Oh, business and all that"
"He wouldn't think much of your
work, them"
"Never breathed a word of it to
him, of course. Would have spoilt
everything. AS it was" .
Halter had come in with two let.
Orridge tossed aside the letters, OBJ
vious bills, and opened the parcel.
1t contained book and note from
Uncle Samuel. He wrote to thank Or
ridge for his kind hospitality, and
then went on:

of provoking the laughter of you

which has interested me for many
years past; and I may some day get

broke off.
Loreton picked up the book, 1.

"Notes on the Laws of Heredity, as

DIED HATING WHITE MAN.
the Help and Money of His
C0nquerOrs.

Among the Cheyenne Indians on the
upper Washita Red Moon was long
held in reverence by his tribe, and
now that he is dead the mourning is
as sincere as its ceremonies are i'm
pressive to the nervous white who
may happen to come within sight or
hearing of the tepees. The old man
was a picturesque type of the unre-
constructed, uncompromising Ameri-
can Indian. He hated the white man
and loathed his ways, says local ex-
change. The Red Moon Cheyennes re-
fused to accept rations from the gov
eminent when beef was no longer is
sued upon the hoof and secluded
themselves in the most inaccessible
part Of Oklahoma, where they levied
tribute from the passing herds of
cattlemen in the early days and later
lived . life of starvation when the
cattle trails were closed with wire
fences. The Red Moon Cheyennes
would not live upon their allotments,
nor would they permit their children
to attend government schools. To
reclaim and civilize them a govern
ment school was built at Hammond
at cost of nearly $4,000.
Red Moon was thin visaged man,
agile rather than athletic in build
and shorter in stature than most of
his tribesmen. He was valiant war
rior in his day and bore the scars
of many wounds. When dying he bar
ed his body and pointing to the scars
told of the fights in which they had
been received. He was especially
proud of bullet which had entered
his chest and lodged under the skin
of his back. Red Moon grew sick
about a month ago, but accompanied
his band on visit to the Cheyennes
at Cantonment, where he grew worse.
He begged to be carried home to die
in his tepee ON the Washita, where
he had lived most of his life. He
died at sunrise about three weeks ago
and was buried in the Mennonite
cemetery at Hammond, Oklahoma.
Red Noon was about 20 years old.

Minor, sends to Smyrna journal
particulars of an epidemic" among
women of that town, which has prob
ably no parallel in modern expert
ence, says correspondent of the
London Pail Mall Gazette. About
three years ago q young women be-
came subject to form of hiccough
like the crow of q cock, which re-
sisted treatment; soon after a second
began to hiccough like cat mewing,
and in six months there were 60
women in the town affected with
what may be described as animal hic-
coughs, exceedingly varied. Braying,
barking, and sounds like those made
by the fox are Included in the list.
DR.. Dimopoulos says that to be in a
room among q number of these
women was like an experience of the
forest or a menagerie. Some men are
affected, but the victims are mostly
women, which is ineligible if the
doctors theory is correct, that the
disease, for which he vouches, is a
form Of initiative hysteris.

CLEARLY WOMAN.
Errone0usly Thinks By Securing HeF
Scalp That She Cures DandFu6.

Clearly woman has an erroneous idea that
by securing the scalp, which removes the
dandruff scales, she is curing the dandruff.
She may wash her scalp every day, and yet
have dandrutf her life long, accompanied by
falling hair, too. The only way in the world
to cure dandruff is to kill the dandruff germ,
and there is no hair preparation that will
do that but Newbro's Herpicide. Herpicide
free to grow as healthy Nature intended.
Destroy the cause, you remove the effect.

non: 1t held the state officials up to
systematic and unmerited reproach;
and 1t tried its best to deceive the
commonwealth. for a malicious and a
dishonest purpose. In the entire rec

recall another instance parallel with
