4 FORGOTTEN ART.
Crack Indians Are Ne Longer skilled
w. They Once Were In ARtnufac-
ture of Earthenware.

Civilization has caused the making
of baskets and earthenware vessels to
become lost art among the Creek In
dams, who in early days were skilled
in their manufacture. The small cost
of these articles at stores made their
purchase more desirable than the toll
of weaving and molding them at home
The baskets and pottery were made
exclusively by the women, says the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch.
Early in the spring, when the sap
was rising in the trees, the clay was
"ripe" or in condition just adapted
to the use of the potter. 1t was dug
and placed where other soil would not
mix with it. Spring water and pulver-
lied mussel shell were added to it,
and the women were ready for work.
Jars were built up from the bottom.
The roughness was removed by rub
bling the jar with a stone. After the
jars were burned in the kiln they
were allowed to cool gradually. Ihe
interior Of the jars was polished with
pebbles. The exterior was never per
fectly smoothed, and was ornamented
with crude figures and characters.
Many jars were broken in the process
of burning. The finished vessels
withstood the hottest fires and were
the only cooking utensils OF the
Creeks.
Alice NJ. Robertson, supervisor OF
schools in the Creek nation, in re-
port to the superintendent Of schools,
said:
The Creeks long ago were avery in
dustrious people, and skilled IN prTn1-
tive manufactures. The men titled the
ground and wrought in wood and
metal, and the women wove fabrics OF
cotton on rude upright looms Ike
those still used by TIE Navajo. The
women also made garments of buck
skin. Their beadwork was of unique
beauty, and they were skilled in pot
terry and Aasketry. Scarcely woman
is now living who can make pottery.
The stone jar from the traders shop
has taken the place of the great olo-
shaped earthen 'Ahikus-wah, stand
ing in the chimney corner with its
generous supply of 'sofkey,' the ma
tional dish made from corn, whieh. is
both food and drink to the Creeks. In
my travels among the people have
given especial attention to native in
dustries, because of the very general
consideration which this subject is re-
ceiving in connection with manual
training. While many Creek women
still understand basketry, it does not
seem practicable to revive this indus
try. The material they use is long,
flexible strips split from the outer
surface of cane stalks. In the Creek
nation the herds of cattle have long
since destroyed the formerly dense
oanebrakes and only in remote wlds
of the Choctaw nation car the oam-
boo-like growth be found"

Mr.. BRYAN declares he will not support
the Democratic nominee for President in
1904, if he is not placed upon the Kansas
City platform. Mr.. Cleveland says he will
support no man for President who stands
upon that platform. The refusal of either
of these leaders to support the Democratic
ticket in 1904 means its inglorious defeat,
even if it had any chance of winning with
their united support.

w EEDS

Consumption is a human
weed hourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat Consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be Dc;
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
mcnt you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

Bank Checks In England.

It is hard for Americans to believe
that only 40 years ago the use OF
bank checks in England for sums
less than S25 was unknown. 1t is
still harder to believe the statement
made in English papers that the late
chancellor of the exchequer supposed
that it was the rule still. He was
not alone in his ignorance. At least
two liberal statesmen of cabinet
rank shared his delusion. Did you
ever know a check drawn for less
than five pounds?' was the question
one of these gentlemen put to a col
league on the front opposition bench
during the course of the debate. It
seemed incredible to anyone ac-
quainted with modern business
methods that such ignorance should
have prevailed in high quarters
