of the mechanics lien law passed by
the Fourteenth Assembly. This law
provides that il the contract for the
erection of a building is not placed
on record. the labor done and the ma

be taken to mean that the owner was
personally responsible and liable to

that by the statute where an owner

An Indians Thanks.

T. NJ. Burlington, principal chief of
the Cherokee Nation, when he issued
his Thanksgiving proclamation began
it this way:
Let us again commemorate the Gus
tom Of our forefathers, which pre-
vailed since time immemorial, and
adopted by the Pilgrims and their
descendants, by celebrating a day de-
voted to festivity and praise for the
goodness of the Great Spirit, after the
Joys and sorrows of another year, and
harvests have been gathered"
Some may be disposed to think the
chief has assumed overmuch when he
claims for his people precedence in
giving thanks once a year, but he is
really correct. The Green Corn
Dance" of the Indians which was an
nually celebrated when the corn was
ready for food, was the occasion Of a
much more ceremo1ious rejoicing than
is usual among the whites on Thanks
giving Day. 1t was the Indians man
ner of showing their gratitude to the
Great Spirit for the blessings Of their
grain and they made 1t one Of the
greatest and most memorable Of their
annual ceremonies. = Montgomery

That night when Jim and Milly sat

where the dark forests trimmed the
far horizon. Not sign of human
habitation was visible. and not sound
broke the vast stiffness save the
steady taptap of a woodpecker. The
loneliness oppressed Milly strangely.
For two years she had endured it in
cheerful silence, working patiently at
whatever her hand found to do in the
rough little shack which had gradually
assumed cozy, homelike appearance.
They had left the busy, grinding east
in quest of health for her young hus-
band, who was slowly regaining his
lost strength and vigor in the bracing
climate Of Colorado, which alone kept
Milly's heart light and hopeful, but
in spite of that joyful fact she could
not dispel a shiver of loneliness when
she thought of the long, dreary win
ter before them.

want of little company" she said,
as she walked down the untraveled
road in the face of the crisp north
wind. THAT will never do for you,

Suddenly Milly's ear caught the
sound Of chopping. which seemed to
come from the Hollow beyond the d.

easily through the leafless thicket,
walking briskly over the hill and
down the opposite descent until she

changed her mind and crossed the icy
little brook and made her way toward

The mans insistent gaze annoyed

Of the little group melted a little

gratefully Of her own cozy. cheerful

beside the glowing hearth.

VAS ELINE.

Everybody knows the great value of this
remedy In the household, but everybody
does not know that the limitations of it,
which some second class druggists dishon-
orably palm Off on their customers, have
little or no value. What should be under
stood by the public IS, that 1t is not nero
question of comparative value between
"Vaseline" and the limitations, but that the
limitations do not effect the wonderful heal
line, and that they are not the same thing
nor made In the same way. Besides this,
many OF the limitations are harmful, irri-
tant and not safe to use, while true Vase
line Is perfectly harmless.
Perfect safety therefore lies In buying
