HOW TIE INDIANS VOTE.
They Are Very Deliberate and Then
Have q simple Method.

Have "a Simple Method.
The Chickasaw Indians cast their
vote differently from the way the
white man Goes it. They meet the day
before the election, and none but
Chickasaws by blood is allowed to
vote. No white man or intermarried
citizens have the right Of suffrage
They go OFF to themselves and have a
powwOw. They decide for whom they
will vote after considering the matter
for twenty-four hours.
The polling place is quite unlike that
of the white man. There is a great
sheet Of paper, white, yellow or brown
as the case may be, about three feet
square. Upon this sheet CT paper are
a vast number of cross lines, regularly
ruled off with a pencil. Then down
one side of the sheet of paper are
placed the names Of all candidates for
office, beginning with the candidates
for governor and running on down to
precinct officers. At the top Of the
sheet are the number of blank spaces
that will be required for the names OF
the voters. The judges of election sit
by and pass on those entitled to vote,
and there is a certainty that no illegal
votes are cast.
The Indian is thoroughly deliberate.
He takes his time when it comes to
voting. He proceeds to the polling
place, looks carefully over the poll
sheet, and if he Is ready to cast his
ballot he calls out his name, and the
clerk records it on the sheet. Then the
clerk reads off the names Of the can
didates for governor. The voter delib-
crates awhile, calls out the name of
the candidate for whom he desires to
vote, his vote is recorded, and the
names of the candidates for the next
Office are called out, and SO on through
the list, till all the offices represented
are voted for.
Thus it is that every voter knows
exactly how every other voter has cast
mis- ballot, and there are no remarks,
no suggestions and no Quarrels over
differences Of opinion.

LacemakinG bx Hand.

Making lace by hand is well de-
veloped art in Paraguay. 1t was taught
the natives 200 years ago by the mis-.
sionaries and has been transmitted
from generation to generation till it is
now quite general throughout the re-
public Some towns are devoted to
making certain kind of lace. In one
town of 5000 or 5000 inhabitants al
most all the women and children and
many Of the men make lace collarettes,
handkerchiefs and ladies' ties. An
other town makes lace embroidery and
others drawn thread work, such as
centerpieces, try mates, teacloths and
doilies. The designs used in making
the lace are taken from the curious
webs Of the semitropical spiders that
are so numerous there. On this ac-
count it is called 'nanduti," an Indian
uame which means spider web.

Checks For the Communion Table

Checks For the Communion XHhASs
The author of 1.-THE, Sabbath In Puri-
tan New England" mentions custom
which prevailed in several New Eng
land churches that made it the duty
OF the deacons to walk up and down
the aisles Of the church at the close Of
each service and deliver to every per-
son who in their judgment was fitted
to commune metal check, which en-
titled him at the next celebration Of
the Lords Supper to join in the sacred
ordinance.
On the communion Sabbath it was
the deacons' duty to see that ev-
cry one who presented himself at the
Lords table had this check and to col-
lect it from the commitment before
passing to him the bread and wine.

A MILD CASE

Of Contagious Blood Poison never exis-
ted. 1t is always bad, though sometimes
no external symptoms of the disease ap-
pear for long time.
Because the disease is slow in devel-
oping does not indicate that the case is
"a mild one, for the poisonous virus at
work in the blood and system may be
spending its force upon some internal
vital organ while you are looking for ex-
terna1 signs Contagious Blood Poison
does not. affect all alike. In most cases
the first little sore is quickly followed by
painful swellings in the groins, red
eruption upon the body, sores or ulcers
in the mouth and throat, unsightly copper
co1ored blotches, loss of hair and eye
brows and other symptoms of this 1nlser-
able disease. When the poison is thus
fighting its way to the surface, exposing
the disease in all its hideousness, we call
it bad case; but Contagious Blood Poi
son, whether working internally or exter-
nally, is dangerous, treacherous disease.
S. S. S. is the only remedy that cures
Contagious Blood Poison thoroughly and
permanently 1t is an antjdote for the
deadly virus that produces the awful
eruptlons sores and ulcers, and destroys
the bones. Mercury and Potash dry up
the skin eruptions, but i'll so doing drive
the poison further into the system, where
it slunbers for a time, but comes back
again with redoubled fury

PROCLAMATION BY THE GOV
ERNOR-THANKSGIVING, 1902.

/. harmony with a sacred custom or
the fathers, and in grateful recognition
of the ever present fulfillment OF the
promises of God, do hereby recon-
mend, in conformity with the proclaim
alton of the President of the United
States, that Thursday, November ~,
1902, be observed as a day OF thanks
giving and prayer, and recommend
that the people of Arizona, as the cnll-
dren of one Father, dedicate this DAY
to deeds of charity and brotherly love-
and in their churches and homes rem
der praise and thanksgiving to God for
the full measure of peace and plenty
He has given to our Commonwealth.
Let us acknowledge on this day that
the blessings which have come TO us
are God-given messages OF his great
love and guidance.
The treasures of earth have been
given to man in Increasing quantities,
the people of Arizona as whole nave
enjoyed good health and general con-
tentment,, peace and prosperity nave
been their portion. Surely people
so richly blessed should rejoice and
offer from their hearts words OF
thanksgiving to an all-wise Provl-
dence.
AS the ones most blessed gather
around tables spread with rich abund-
ance, they should remember those
less favored, that they, too, may par
ticipate in manifesting appreciation of
the goodness and mercy of our Heaven
ly Father.
In the year just closing we should be
especially thankful that Divine Prov
idence has continued to guide our Ma
tion to the foremost place among the
enlightened and progressive people OF
the earth. -
In witness whereof, have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great seal
of the Territory of Arizona to be affixed,
