for a tired head.
Then again, there is the clover pill
low. Glover can be had for the picking
in any country spot. You dry the red
and white blooms the same as the rose
petals. and they retain for a long time
a scent similar to that of-new mown

The favorite pillow with most people
and really one of the most desirable is
the one made Of pine. needles. The

TWO INDIAN BATTLES.
History as II Appears From the Red

History ns II Appears From the Red
skins Point of View.
The Indlau's side Of any controversy
betweeR him and the white man has
never really been presented at all. His
tory has necessarily been written from
the white mans standpoint and large
" from the reports Of commanding
officers naturally anxious TO secure full
credit for their gallantry or to conceal
any weakness.
Take as an illustration the so called
''battle" of Wounded Knee. A ring was
formed about the Indians, and after
disar1ning most of them one man re-
sisted, and the troops began firing to
ward the center, killing nearly all the
Indians and necessarily many Of their
own men. The soldiers then followed
up fleeing women and children and
shot them down in cold blood. This is
not called a massacre in the official re-
ports. The press Of the country did not
call Il a massacre. On the other hand,
General Custer was in pursuit Of GER
tain bands of Sioux. He followed their
trail two days and finally overlook
and surprised them upon the Little
Big Horn. The warriors met him in
force, and he was beaten at his own
game. IL was a brilliant victory for
the Indians, whom ewster had taken
at q disadvantage in the midst of their
women and children. This battle goes
down in history as the "Custer massa.

Milford, Sept. 3-Every tomato fac

chock-a- block with tomatoes, and grow
ers are face to face with the proposition
of taking eight and ten cents per bas-

that only three days ago tomatoes were

brought about by weather conditions.
They say the excess Of wet weather fol-

to ripen in punches which brought on
the glut. The Gamers are happy. of
course. and are now telling those that
