Relic of Spanish Torture.

A curious relic Of early torture was
exhibited here today by az old colored
man, who was endeavoring to dispose
of his relic. The relic is human
muzzle, evidently used in by-gone
dsys by the Spaniards in Furnishing
unruly slaves. It is in the form Of q
cage or hood, constructed Of strips Of
wrought iron and made to fit closely
over the head Of person, and prom
inent feature of its construction is an
iron tongue, or gag, which. when the
hood is locked upon the victim head,
fits into his mouth, holding the tongue
down and making it in possible for the
wearer to either speak or make any
kind of noise. The iron hood opens
by means of hinges in the front part.
aud when placed upon the victims
head can be clo1cd and fastened by "A
lock OH the back. The iron strips o.
which it is constructed are rivctcd to-
gcther. The old negro stated that be
had purchased it in Louisiana many
years ago, and that it had been used
IN that State century ago. He pro-
poses, if he cannot dispose Of his crude
relic, to send it to the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition to be placed on dis
play there. The instrument of tor
ture was viewed by many, and aroused
in ali thoughts of the awful crueltics
that must have been practiced in the
age when it was in use.-Pensacola,

! OlIrlg Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
Others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, lame home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
Of food, but because the food
does not feed.
Scott's Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak,
ness and. failure to grow
Scott's Emulsion seems TO find
it and set the matter right.

Naturally Smart.

Opie Read tells of an attorney in
Kentucky who was driving along the
road one day when his horse SHE'D and
broke one of the shafts Of the buggy.
He was wondering what he would do
when an old darky came along.
The darky saw what the trouble was,
went 70 the side of the road, cut a
hickory switch, and peeled it. With
the peeling he bound the broken shaft
together 80 that it was strong enough
for the journey to be resumed.
The attorney gave the Negro a coin
and at the same time thanked him. IT
would never have thought of mending
it that way" he said.
II 'spect not" replied the darky.

Does it pay to be intcmpcratc?'
This query, fraught with interest,
was answered in striking manner by
Rev. r. S. Trucsdale yesterday after
noon at the y. NJ. G.. a. rooms. His
remarks presented an intelligent and
sympathetic appreciation Of the prob
lem. 1t was termed a problem by the
speaker, for, he said, SO many men
took years to decide whether one could
drink intoxicants in manner not in
furious to the health or hindrance to
achievement in the business world.
Mr. Truesdale's talk was not on the
line of the travelling temperance ora
tor-no burning figures of speech or
dramatic Incidents were used to por-
tray the pitiable condition of drunk
ard tortured with delirium tremens
while half-starved wife and children
were huddled half clothed trying to
keep body and soul together. But it
was his desire to present the subject
in practical manner just as banker
and business man would discuss an
issue affecting their interests. In
this he succeeded perfectly.
The preacher presented the drunk.
ard in new light. That he was not
to be cursed and Stunned; his weak.
ness should not be advertised to the
community as dread thing, guilty of
crime objectionable. But he was
deserving the sympathy Of every So
ber-minded person. By sympathy he
meant the influence and strength to
help him overcome the disposition to
indulge himself. That he should not
be ostracised by society, but that so.
ciatJ should with accord extend its
hand OF helpfulness, to awaken in the
intemperata persons character a pow
or to resis he too powerful fascina.
tion of dr. s, to convince him that by
few minutes exercise morning and
nights natural strength would be &C.
quired that would make artificial
stimulants unnecessary.
The speaker in way thoroughly
convincing submitted series of oues.
tions asking in what way drinking
helped ayoung man to business or
professional success. He asked if it
would help the cmploye of railroad
company. manufacturing company, a
mercantile concern, banking house,
a druggist or in tho civil service for
the employer to know that he drank.
Wherein is there a sound business
reason for an employc Of any concern
in the world to drink daily from year
to year? The gambler, he said, is so
shrewd that even he would not let the
pleasures of drink interfere with his
business. He had heard that all sue
cessful gamblers are scrupulously tenn
peratc.
Cleopatra, the Egyptian queen whose
beauty was only equallcd by her folly,
once dropped the pearls that adorned
her person into strong acid that they
might dissolve. The world was shock
cd to learn Of so reckless deed. But
only once in all history had pearls
been so wantonly destroyed. Yet
daily young men are dissolving their
pearls by drink. No outcry is made
by friends and acquaintances. jewels
the most valuable that mep possess,
purity, integrity, intellectually, moral
and physical manhood are being slow
ly dissolved by intemperance.- The

Not an English Bull Dog.

The Irish rebuke is seldom bitter or
priggish, but it generally finds its
mark, and one which the London Star
records is not an exception.
A snobbish young Englishman nc.
companied by small dog recently got
into street car and sat down opposite
an Irishman. The latter was immedi-
ately attracted by the animal and, af.
ter some advances which were haugh
tily received by the master, asked
outright mhat kind Of dog it was.

lines than others that might be mentioned.
 Since my visit to the reservation in May, 1901, I can see that Mir. Burton has improved materially, and think the investigation just closed will help him greatly.
 The charges which brought about the investigation were published broad cast and no doubt disturbed Mir. Bur- tons peace of mind, but he kept his own council out of print. During the investigation he conducted himself with becoming dignity. MT. Burton's home life is a model; he has charm ing wife whose good sense, intelligence and Christian example would be a benefit to any community. Their four children are commendabl examples of a model home. In all his relations home, social, business, or official Mir. Burton is the same quiet, unas- suming, Christian gentleman. That he is or has been arbitrary, violent, ungentlemanly, or anything that savers of the "bully" or ''tyrant" is absurd, as all know who know the man.
 In closing this report it would seem proper to suggest that the very small est thing the Sequoya League could do, to in some way make up for the great wrong it has done Mir. Burton and the Government in this matter, would be to publicly acknowledge its error and publish full retraction. was assured by MT. Moody, the Leagues representative, who accom- panied me during the investigation, that this would be done. trust that it may find itself strong enough and honorable enough to do so.
 Very respectfully,

 Inspector. The SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR,

women, whose record in the service is that of a mischief maker.
 J. l.. Allen and wife, Mormons, and employees of a former trader.
 Belle Axtell Kolp, whose experience of five weeks in the service and re- moval because she ''couldn't do the work" seems to have been grounds for making an affidavit about things she admits she did not see, simply "heard," after stating her complaints were from what she had "seen with her own eyesight."
 Mrs. Gertrude Lewis Gates, 8 no- doubt well-meaning woman of senti. mental turn of mind, who had frequen- tly visited the reserv atiOn and was on familiar terms with MT. Burton and family, yet had never noted the ''reign of terror" or the "bullying methods" until she got to participating in objec- tiOnable Indian dances and was pre- vented from further dancing by an order from Mir. Burton. These dances, as stated by Reverend Epp, missionary and Sequoya Leagues witness, are not of proper character for a woman to take part in.
 All this so-called evidence upon which these charges are based is there fore found to be indicted by feelings of personal disappointment, hatred or revenge, and not for the good of the service, nor in the end to help the Indian. An unprejudiced observer must admit that not one of the persons named is competent to judge in the case, and the hearing disclosed the fact that none of their statements were reliable or trustworthy. The Sequoya Leagues representative expressed himself number of times during the hearing as heartily disgusted with the character of evidence submitted by the league, and although Mrs. Gates was occupying Q house not POO yards from where the hearing was held, she was present only occasionally, offered no new evidence and stated on oath that during her more than five months residence upon the reservation for the purpose of reporting upon MT. Bur tons management, she had never seen one act of cruelty or brutality.
 Personally am opposed to show of arms or the military method of hand ling Indians. believe that absolute unwavering firmness, tempered with reason and kindness, will accomplish more with Indians than show of guns or force of arms. From this point of view, and after visiting the grounds, hearing evidence of Indians, mission aries, employees, etc., and noting ex- isting conditions, am satisfied that the charges against Supt. Charles E. Burton, as presented by the Sequoya League, were without foundation in fact and shuld be dismissed in toto. AS TO sUPERINTENT BuRroN's QUAIL
 LEGATIONS.
 With reference to Superintent Bur tons qualifications and the sdvisabil- ity of his remaining in charge of this reservation, have to say now that I am convinced that it would be. seri- ous error to transfer MT. Burton at this time. No person has questioned Superintendent Burton's intergrity, his moral character, the cleanness of his personal speech and habits, his good example, or his industry. An examination of his books and ac- counts and of his business dealings show him to be fully competent to handle the property of the Govern ment and to direct the Indians along
