A Dream of the Past.

Editor The Journal.
 1t IS and always was my nature to ramble in the woods and mead ows and climb hills at this season of the year to see and behold the beauties and wonders of nature. Nothing Is more interesting, won derful and beautiful than to take q ramble at this time of the year. The nice, soft, velvety grass under our feet as natures carpet, the lovely scenery over our heads, of tall trees clothed with their new spring suits, the warble of the birds that visit us in the spring to cheer our souls anew after the cold and bleak winter when spring is at hand and all nature is in its splen- dor and the zephyrs come to us la den with the blended perfume from the hills, valleys and meadows of natures purest flowers.
 As l stated in the outset, l love a ramble in the woods at this sea son of the year and on the first of May l wandered away leisurely watching for whatever might come in view, half dreaming and think ing over the past. After crossing il few hundred yards of woods. then turning an eastward course and crossing a beautiful little val ley, ] came to spring of cold, clear water which l had visited hundreds of times back in my childhood days. My mind drop ped back to the last time that l had visited that spring. It was May I, 1873 just 30 years ago. After taking | drink of tho spark

It has been said that the late legislature was the most intelligent body of law makers that ever as- sembled in Arkansas. If you are inclined to doubt this statement 1t will only be necessary for you to read the DeRossitt game law, the Pindall beef law, the Whitley bird law, the Myers mussel laws and a few others. 1t requires wisdom and statcsnahship to frame and pass such important measures as these and appropriate money to buy newspapers and stamps.

 FOR MARAREA.

An epidemic of Malaria is sure to fol- low the wet season and the high waters which have prevailed all over the South. Malarial and kindred levers will develope to an alarming extent. General health conditions will be bad; every precaution should be taken.
 The system Must Especially Be For. eIHed to Resist Es.aEIai Attacks.
 A trial of fifty years has demonstrate ed that for this emergency, Dr. Har- ter's Iron Tonic has no equal. Iron is the fighting element in the blood, and the kind of iron supplied by Dr. liar ter's Iron Tonic is just the kind the system requires to successfully combat malarial conditions. Don't wait until you are attacked. Take it now and for tify yourself; it is an absolute safeguard and, at the same time, it is the best tonic and invigorant for the entire sys- tenn. On the other hand, quinine dis turbs the system and its cumulative poison begets greater physical troubles than those it is employed to remedy.

What did the Indians eat? Gabriel
Thomas, writing in 1906, tells US that
they live chiefly on maize or Indian
corn roasted in the Ashes, sometimes
beaten boyd with Water, called HON.
inie. They have cakes, not unpleasant:
also Beans and Pease, which noruish
much, but the Woods and Rivers afford
them their provision; they eat morning
and evening, their Seats and Tables on
the ground" Mr.. G. G. Abbott tells in
Travels In Treetop" of other vegeta-
BILE foods known to the Indians-the
roots of the golden club, arrowleaf and
groundnut. besides various berries and
nuts.
1t is well known that extensive
orchards were planted by these people.
1t may be added that in all probability
the tubers of that noble plant. the To-
tus, were used as food.
1t is clear that the Delawares were
meat eaters. 1t needs but little digging
on any village site to prove this. and
from single fireplace deep down in the
soil have been taken bones of the elk,
deer. bear. beaver, raccoon, muskrat
and gray squirrel.
The remains of deer were largely in
excess. and as this statement holds good
of every village site of the Indians.
doubtless they depended more largely
upon the deer than upon all the others.

The Word of n Gambler.

Pat Sheedy. the gambler. occasional
ly found his reputation of being a
square man his only available asset. 1t
is not unusual for gamblers with such
a reputation to play faro on credit. So
far as is known. however. Sheedy is the
only gambler who ever borrowed
money from a bank when he was with
out funds with no other security than
his word and the probability that his
luck would change. The story is
vouched for by Sheedy's friends. A long
run of i'll luck had cleaned him out in a
summer resort, and he went to the
cashier of the leading bank and asked
for a loan. The size of the loan asked
varies from $1,000 to $4,000. according
to who tells it.
"What security have you" asked the
cashier.
Nothing but my word"
"But don't know you"
"Well, you've heard of me. I'm Pat
Sheedy, the gambler, and my word is
as good as a government bond"
The cashier knew all about him then,
and although it was an irregular trans
action. Sheedy got the money. His luck
changed. and he paid back the loan
promptly.
