There were several reasons why the
Indians should form more than one camp.
The supply of wood and water was not
ADEQUATE for large camp, the site chos'
en-, while admirably adapted for small
oon,n vas NOT extensive enough, for the
formation of large one; there we're FAC
tlons among the Indians and 1t was
deemed best to keep these apart. My
master belonged to the war party, and
that party kept its camp from tive to ten
miles in advance Of the party that was
disnosed to be friendly to the whites and
treat with them.
About the sixth week our camp was
shifted from Hazelwood to place a few
miles beyond Lac qui Parle, lake,
formed by the widening of the M'nneso'
IA River. The name is the French trans
latiou of the Indian name, meaning
"Lake which speaks" The north shore
IN ea,ly years was densely wooded and
the wall of foliage reflected sounds en-
mating from the other shore, hence the
name, The Indians having no term tor
echo could therefore not call 1t Echo
Lake. With them all names whether or
persons or places, have signifance and
are more appropriately applied than
among US.

Of engagements or raids, request or order
was to be made public it would be done

The women said to the bays, "You can

have No hope in flight" After the first
day we were at times allowed to leave
the enclosure and stroll about the camp.
Louis Kitzmann, August Gluth and my
self agreed that we would make'a break
for liberty. We leisulely walked to the
outskirts of the camp When cautioned
not to 90 too far we replied that we
were to get some ponies that ere graz

Ideas found In parts Of Europe and it
is often asked why none of them come

The following experience seems to
show that some do come. but that per-
haps the air Of liberty is not favorable
to good servants. She was Norwe-
gian, well educated. well trained. nice
looking, an unusually desirable find
in fact, and she brought joy to one of
those small families whose perennial
cry is: "Wanted-A girl to do general
housework." Here Is her brief rec
ord: The first month she sought to help
the master to put on his overcoat and
made queer bobbing courtesies when
she spoke to the mistress. The second
month she ceased these attentions, but
instead made inquiries as to the hour
at which she was entitled to stop work
on her days out. The third month she
suggested raise of wages. The fourth
month she said that more washing
ought to be sent out. The fifth month
she announced her approaching de-
parture. AS all her previous sugges-
tons had been complied with prompt
ly, this caused surprise. She was ask
ed If no other concessions could be
made. She replied, no, that she was
merely getting used to American ways
and she thought she would like anoth-
er place for the sake Of a change.

Vogeler's Curative Compound is peculiar

icines, from the fact that it is made from the
private formula of an eminent living London
physician. The ingredients are purely vege-

disease arising from constipation, it will
practically give a new stomach. To
make the cure of any disease complete and
permanent the purifying, nourishing correct
ing and building up process must begin and
end in the stomach, for the stomach is the
power producer of the human system. Vog

on the stomach and blood, with the result,
