INDIAN BANK DEPOSITORS.
Hed Men OF Kansas Arc Lenrniug How
to Put Away Their Money
like White Men.

The Lawton Enterprise states that
many Indians near its city have learned
how to take care of their money. Near
ly every bank in Lawton has several
Indian cash deposits, says the Kansas
City Journal.
A week ago a withered squaw with
buckskin leggings and moccasins went
to the bank. From under a leather
thong which she wore as a substitute for
belt she produced a leather pouch,
with fringe and beads From out Of
this receptacle she produced a little
buckskin sack. After fumblirg about In
it she secured small purse Tucked
into the corner Of it was a wad of paper
twisted smaller than the end Of your lit
tie finger. She began to untwist and
unfold the wad with the care of a spe-
cialist performing ali operation on the
human eye.
Gradually the paper developed into a
crumpled deposit check. She had some
difficulty in explaining to the teller how
much money she wanted. She signed
with her hand, grunted, held up her
brown fingers. Finally he understood,
grunted three times and she grunted
one and smiled-when the sum that she
asked for was handed over.

THE PEPSIN HABIT.
Continuous Taking of This Simple
l., Remedy for Indigestion VIII
/ Result Badly.

According to DR.. Mckenzie, of st.
Louis, Mo-, there is such a thing as the
''pepsin habit" People take pepsin day
after day, until the stomach is made in
capable of producing pepsin. The pepsin
which the patient has swallowed has
taken the place of the natural pepsin of
the stomach. The food has been di-
gested in an artificial way, and the stom-
ach, finding itself excused from any fur
ther effort in this direction, quits the
business of making pepsin altogether,
and becomes lazy, superfuous member
of the alimentary canal.
Perhaps this description carriers the
matter little too far, says Medical Talk,
but it serves to call attention to the fact
that to take pepsin continually, month
after month, and year after year, more
harm than good is done. This is also
true of any other remedy. There is no
remedy so simple, no medicine SO potent.
ho dope so beneficial, but that the con-
tinuous taking of it will produce con-
dition as bad, if not worse, than the con-
dition for which it was originally taken.

CORRECTED HIS MISTAKE.
hlOndil<e DENTIST Got the Right
Tooth Later On and
Charged for It

High prices often prevail in frontier
towns, and those who live in new settle
ments become accustomed to the charges
and think little about it. A man who
recently returned from the Klondike
tells good story which is printed in the
New York Tribune.
People get used to paying big money
for trifles, he said, and two dollars for
box of Sardines or five dollars for a
pound of bad coffee came to be regarded
as reasonable prices. But once | had
the surprise of hearing an Unexpectedly
low price named. 1t was like this: |
had a jumping toothache-was nearly
wild with it-and went to a shanty
where l was told there was a dentist.
A rough-looking fellow told me that
he was the dentist. and l asked him
to draw my tooth. He looked me over,
got his forceps fastened on my tooth
and yanked it out after couple of hard
twists.
"How much?" l asked
'Well, two dollars, guess" said the
dentist.
l paid him, although my jaw still
ached badly
That's the cheapest thing I've seen
round here" remarked. as I gave him
the money
We'll" he said, 81 thought I'd make
1t low. because on account of the bad
light pulled the wrong tooth. -
1 had to go the next day and have the
bad tooth out. and he made matters
square by charging me ten dollars.

SPOILED HIS ALIBI.
Defendant Handled His Own Case
and Made a Very Bad
Mess of 1t.

1t was out in the far west. John Con-
nor had just received "a missive summon
ing him before the local judicial lumi-
nary for assaulting one Pete Haynes.
He was in a Quandary, and, being SO,
thought he would consult Mr.. Tirrell,
the only lawyer the district coulS coast
of. Fortunately the man of law was at
home, but, unfortunately, he had to act
in an important case at town some dis
lance away on the day when Mr.. Conner
would be arraigned.
But what am to do, SURF" John plead
ingly asks.
Prove an alibi, man." Mr.. Tirrell
says, CURLY.
IAN Alley Boy, SURF"
Eyes, show that you were at some 9TH
er place when the assault took place"
After racking his brains, which (not
being overburdened in that respect)
did not take very long, John thinks he
can manage it. He has mate in dis
tant settlement who, he says, will stand
by him. The lawyer tells him that for
mality is one of the essentials to success;
and having impaired to him instructions
as to how he is to proceed, so as to appear
most impressive at the hearing of the
case, John takes his departure with a
much lighter heart.
The eventful day arrives. The evt-
dence for the prosecution, which seems
absolutely conclusive, has terminated,
oil II I1r
and solemnly he rises, striving to COM
bine an air of injured innocence with
that of dignified unconcern, and in an
impressive voice says:
Call Ted Lane!"
A rough, uncouth figure, who was
dreamily looking at the bald head OF the
dispenser of justice, rose from seat
next to John himself, and took the oath.
John, having managed to get proper hold
of his voice, commences:
Your name is"
'Ted Lane, sor."
you live good distance from here p"
About so miles, sor."
''You understand the nature of the
oath you've taken?"
81 do sor''
''You have heard the Evidence given of
an assault on Pete Haynes outside the
White Hart?"
1--WE heard it sor?"
"You have known me for long time,
and you can swear to me idintity?"
ooh, that I can, sor."
"You remember the day of the ALLEGED
occurrence?"
Eyes, sor."
Now, remember you are on your oath,
an state the whole truth and nothin' but
the truth
Eyes, sor.'
Where was whin I struck Pete
Haynes outside the White Hart?"

An Echo of the Great Railroad Fight

AN LSAO va IhS OTedC KaHfOau right
1t is reported that work on the
new cutoff which the Pennsyl-
vania system has under way from
Atglen across Chester and Lancas
ter counties, has practically ceased,
which, with the re-opening of the
Columbia & Port Deposit line to
traffic after it had been closed on
account of the extensive operations
on the new line, comes as a sort of
echo from the bitter war being
waged by the Pennsylvania Van
derbuilt interests against the Wa
bash Gould system, to prevent the
latter from crossing the continent
with string of roads to the
Eastern seaboard.
The fight between these gigantic
rival railroad interests has waged
for the past three years with Pitts
burg as the storm center, and was
precipitated by the decision of the
Gould forces to enter that city and
compete with the "Pennsy" for
the immense carrying trade being
practically monopolized from that
point by the latter road.
Some idea of the millions involv-
ed in this war may be had when it
is known that the forcing of the
poles and wires of the Western
Union telegraph line Owned by
Could from the Pennsylvania sys.
TEN was in retaliation for GouId's
entry into the Smoky City with
the Wabash railroad.
The war becomes of interest
locally when it is known the claim
has been raised that several years
ago the Wabash people surveyed
a line over nearly the same route as
that across Chester and Lancaster
counties, north of us, upon which
work has been carried on by the
Pennsylvania road for some months,
and as the Pennsylvania has no
charter for this particular line, the
Wabash holds the right of way and
will institute proceedings to GUST
the usurpers from their pre-. empted
claim.
In the matter OF the closing of
the Columbia & Port Deposit road
to traffic this spring, it is stated
that had the abandonment of the
road continued longer nothing could
have hindered the Wabash from
crossing it without contest, and it
was undoubtedly such a move
caused the "Pennsy" to hurriedly
abandon their work on that section
and reopen the river road with all
haste, and even yet it is not definite
ly known, whether or not the lapse
of chatter from abandonment wi |
not be the entering wedge for a
bitter struggle for supremacy be-
tween two powerful rivals for the
trade OF western Pennsylvania.

SURPRISED THE CHINAMAN.
American Soldiers in the Philippines
Took Only Cabbages as
Presents.

Some time ago it was stated that the
sum total Of graft acquired by Gen.
Otis while he was in command in the
Philippines consisted OF a quarter OF
a pound of tea that he accepted lust
as he was leaving the island An Of
hcer who served with Otis, says the
Washington Post, relates that he did
not accept another gift. 1t seems that
the first Christmas which Gen. Otis
spent in the islands he received from
the head Chinaman, the man who
managed all the affairs of the Chinese
residents of Manila, quite a large as
sortment of gifts, consisting of silks
and other Chinese goods. They were
really valuable, and, in addition there
were four heads of cabbage. These
vegetables were brought from Hong
Kong, and were considered a great
delicacy in the Philippines. The next
officer in rank received a less quantity
Of goods and three cabbages, and so
ON down the line, smaller quantity
Of goods and two cabbages, and a still
smaller quantity and one cabbage for
the lowest in rank. Gen. Otis gave
directions to send all the goods back.
save the cabbages. He accepted these
and allowed the other officers to re-
tain their cabbages, but they had to
send back the valuable gifts. The
head Chinaman was much disturbed
and feared that the rejection of his
gifts might mean disagreeable con-
sequences for him and his people He
had never had anything turned back
under the Spanish rule, and he had
learned that gifts paved the way for
favors. The way of the Americans
in the orient must have been a sur
prise to many people who have been
in the habit of purchasing fayors

You can eat whatever and whenever you
like if you take Kodol. By the use of this
remedy disordered digestion and diseased
stomachs are so completely restored to
health, and the full performance of their
functions naturally, that such foods as would
tie one into a double bow-knot are eaten
without even "rumbling" and with posi-
tive pleasure and enjoyment. And what Is
more these foods are assimlated and
transformed into the kind of nutriment that
is appropriated by the blood and tissues.
Kodol is the only digestant or combination
of digestants that will digest all classes Of
food. In addition to this fact, it contains, in
assimilatve form, the greatest known tonic
