CHIEF or CREEK INDIANS.
Gen. Porter Has Always Been al
 Ally of United States Government.

Cen. Porter Has Always Been an
 Ally of United States Government. Kansas City Journal.
 A distinguished resident of Muskogea and one whom all men delight to honor, is Gen. Pleasant Porter, principal chief of the Creek nation. Gen. Porter was born near the town of Clarksville on the Arkansas river. September %. lsl0. He received his early education in the Pres byterian mission at Tallahassee. Work congenial to him presented itself shortly afterward. and for several years he de- voted himself to the rehabilitating and building up of the Creek schools that had suffered severely during the inter- necine strife. Again. in 1882, Chief Por- ter was compelled to take up arms. this time to settle dispute between his own people. As general of the Creek nation al army he ended the war speedily and for all time, and succeeded at the same time in establishing himself more firmly in the affection and esteem of his peo- pie. who. in 1899. elected him their chief. As leader of his people, General Porter has ruled with wisdom and judgment.
 He has always been true friend to his people and a faithful ally of the United States government. At ths age of g. he married the daughter of Chief Justice Reilly Keys. She died. leaving him three little children. Another littio one was left him by his second wife, who died when the child was but seven years old. To-day, at the age of e3. he is as hale and hearty, as pleasant and cheer fui as ever General Porter was re-elect- cd principal chief of the Creeks recently. He Is not fullhlood Indian.

HOW INDIANS CURE sNAKEB1rE
Aged Chief Tells of the Application of the Remedy to His SQuaw.

of the Remedy to His sQuaw.
 Kansas City Journal.
 Kot-oh-pee. venerable. red blanketed patriarch of the Euchee Creek woods who was reared at the feet of several ed how the Indians cure snake bites. spoke substantially as follows: No snake ever killed Zaukee; Zaukee al- ways kills the bad, biting Mutchee-Mahn- ee-toh. My sQuaw was one night bite by big rattler. Medicine man cut snakes head off and cooked him in kettle all night. He hung snake over wigwam fire; 1; smoked and fried him till morning. Doc tor cook some snake root in kettle with snake head. Squaw sit near kettle all night; medicine man cut little near squaw's' heart; bad poison blood all run out; doctor wash squaw's foot from ket- tie next day; noon sQuaw feel good; cook corn for Kot-oh-pee. Mutchee- -Mahn-ee- toh big, bad snake, maybe so kill mckay nah (white man), Indian kill snake"
 Mat Duhr, who Is authority for the above story. states that Indian physi- l clans and surgeons simply perform a quick surgical operation on the biting serpent by cutting its head off and boil | ing 1t with snake root, which grows plen'
 tifully on most rock places in this sec | ton.

Care must be observed not to do any thing to offset the benefit of the exer- caaeb such as smoking cigarettes or chew ing tobacco. As for drinking beer or sa,r- its. no one of common sense will do that Then, when the body is clean and full of vitality. there is always a feeling of cheerfulness and good-nature. There is no desire to be Quarreisome. No one should learn to box so that he may bully it over others, but that he can defend himself from attack, and for the health and strength that the exercise gives.
 Wrong Begginning. Ht
 It Is natural for the American boy to box. He picks up a bit of the art him- self in sparring with his playmates, But the trouble with this is that he Is likely to begin all wrong. and then he has to unlcarn all he knows before he can learn the right way.
 Quite recently saw a case in point. Two boys, without the knowledge. at tempting to box. The way they held the body, feet and hands was all wrong. The style of one boy was worse than that of the other. He held his body away back A gentle push would have taKen him of his feet. He had no brace with the body to back mp the force of his own blow or to stand against that of his playmate.
 The other boy was not so bad, but his muscles were too stif and his shoulders too square. Neither of the boys could move about quickly and easily. They were not supple or graceful They did not have that sure movement of the body which gives to it so much health. Move- ment is fuel to the body. Where there Is plentytof fuel there is plenty of steam.
 In taking your stand for "bout" with the gloves, let the body lean a little bit forward from the hips. Have all the muscles loose. Put the left side forward. Do not stand with your body square to your opponent; 1t gives him a wider tar get to hit and does not allow you the swing of the body and shoulders which you need In order to strike good blow. Hold your shoulders down, the left one particularly. This gives you length of reach and ease of arm movement Keep your left arm out, but not straight. All ways have your elbows bent a little. A perfectly straight arm is easily hurt. Ii the arm is bent a little at the elbow li gives it strength and quickness of ac- ton.
 Swing your body with the waist as a pivot. Do not have 1t ''set;" that is, held rigid Always keep it swinging, not SC hard as to tire you, but so that 1t is evcI ready to start in any direction. The body can start much quicker if 1t be moving than if it be still.

 In my first lesson on boxing I told you how to use your feet Now. we will sup pose you have learned that correctly, and we will go to the next lesson: How to hold the body.
 The body of boy or 6 man is the boiler. It Is from there that all the steam comes that moves the machinery. the arms and legg No matter how big and strong the arms and legs are, they win not be able to do anything unless the body gives them the power. So you see how much care you should take of the body. There is no exercise that will do 90 much to make the body strong and healthy and full of steam as boxing.

sents larger surface to the glove of your opponent and will do more to pre- vent his blow from landing than if your fist was closed.
 In guarding always keep your elbows close to your sides. This takes in the benefit of the forearm, and if the glove be held close to the face all that side of the body is protected. Never land a punch without having the block ready to meet the counter. Every time you start punch remember that your opponent in- tends to come back with another punch.
 The particular art of the game Is to land blow without a return; but evs.y time you make an attack you render yourself liable to an offensive demonstra. ton from the man with whom you are sparring.
 One of the best uses of the hands in boxing is not to use them. When a blow is struck the proper way to avoid it Is not to stop it with the hand or forearm, but to slip" 1t. By slipping a blow, I mean that you should get away from it in such a manner that no part of your opponents arm touches you. This is known as "duciing'' and "side-steppins, !" For instance. if your sparrlng partner swings his right for the side of your face, lower your head and let the blow go over. Do not duck" in toward him. Let your head go under the blow and away from 1t to the side, This prevents your opponent from landing an upper-cut, which he would do if you were close enough to him.
 Always remember that the hands are most important factor in boxing. Never land a blow that will hurt the hands. When you lead straight punch. keep the thumb up. When you swing. always keep the knuckles up. A blow is landed with the first two knuckles of the hand.
 There is another thing to tell e young man if he wants to succeed in boxing: Take your chance when you see it. and hit from where your hand is.
 Why do I win fghts7 Because I see the chance when it comes. and take it.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-12-27

Every little while a man leaves him self open. but it is only for a second-it is not even second. 1t Is less than the tenth part of a second You must seize that chance and strike the instant you see the opening.
 The foolish fighter draws back his hand to hit harder, but by the time he has drawn his arm back the man has pro- tected himself. and the chance is gone.
 What say to young men. and what I say to everybody, is this; Do just what do. If you want to make a success in life. always hit when you see the chance 1; do not draw your arm back; hit from where your hand is, and you have got him. That Is my motto. It is no trouble to whip your opponent when you suse that.

SIXTEEN YEARS OF CATARRH

Simply place a little Hyomei in the in
haler which comes with every outfit,
breathe it occasionally during the day
and benefit viii be seen after its use for
only two or three times, while persever-

Further. as to misdireetiOn. I think

down the law as to the extent of the de-

rights of the critic accordingly We have
had excerpts from the play, including
the songs and the stage directions, read
