No legislation in regard to the
disposal Of Indian lands should be
adopted which does not give full
protection to the incompetent citi-
zens. The Indian has moral as we'll
as legal claims TO the land set apart
for him by solemn compact, and
the government is under the strong
est obligations to protect him in
his rights from the rapacity Of land
grabbers. We must see to it that
he is not deprived Of his heritage
and afterwards pauperized. AT the
same time, discrimination i'll the
treatment Of Indian citizens must

will stand by every principle of the

sentiment Of every loyal democrat.
There are just as good democrats

Jefferson and Jackson, and the prin-

Too much optimism makes men
rainbow chasers. but, on the whole
it is better to be too optimistic than
be plunged into the depths Of pes
simism. II is better to see more
and to think more Of the brightside
than Of the lark side Of things.
Constant brooding over the sombre
side Of things units the individual
for the duties of life and makes him
a less useful member Of the com
munity. The buoyant, hopeful
spirit has clearer and saner views
than the mind be clouded with mo
roseness. II sees the way to vic
tory and persues it with faith
that never falters. If the end is at

Bishop Potter's Critics.

Bishop Potter's institution OF "mor-

him to general pulpit criticism. Here
are some of them that have been col
lected by the Hartford Courant:
"The dedication OF a saloon by Bish.
op Potter doesn't make the devil any
less the devil" says Rev. A. B. Leon
ard. "The whole thing was blasphem-
GUS it is more the dedication of hell
than of heaven" says Rev. Len G.
Broughton. II can readily imagine that
the devils in hell held high carnival,
clapped their hands with Joy and grim
ned with delight at the spectacle they
beheld," says Rev. W. o. Bennett.
"Bishop Potter, like Samson, has been
Shorn Of his strength; his new creed
stands for rum, rags, and religion" "
says Rev. J. T. Shaw. 81 fear, if he
does not repent, the woe of the Almigh-

Harris. Devils rejoiced and hell was
enlarged, says Rev. J. w. Lee. "He
was guilty of blasphemy, and every day
that he gives to such scheme his sane
ton and blessing he is guilty of as base
betrayal of Jesus Christ as Judas Is
CARROT was every guilty of, says Rev.
A. Smith. 'If the prelate had gone

Cabbage Snake Harmless.

For the beueflt of the nervous dys-
peptic the statement is made ON good
authority that the so.called cabbage
snake" is no snake at all, but harm
less little worm that may be eaten raw
or cooked without danger. They are
as harmless as apple worms and not
near so plentiful. The following arti-
Gle Mccarthy, biologist, published in
the Bulletin of the North Carolina
is conclusive:
"The sea serpent OF mendacious re-
nown seems to have been forced out of
existence this year by land serpent
which has located in the western part
of North Carolina, where it has taken
to frighteng the owners Of cabbage
patches. Many stories have been pub
lished concerning the deadly venom of
this creature, usually referred to as the
cabbage snake" Several of these
"serpents" have been caught and sent
to the North Carolina Department of
Agriculture for Identification. In eve-
ry case these have proved to be the
common and harmless water worm, or
chair snake. ."-Gordius variabillis.
"Spakes and serpents belong to the
backboned series of animals. This
creature is nematode worm belong
ing far down in the scale of created be-
ing. 1t has a soft, boneless body, with
only rudimentary organs. 1t does not
bile or chew, but absorbs its food in
liquid torn through any and every part
of its body. It is normally an inter-
asite Of grasshoppers and other insects.
It's presence in cabbage heads is rare
and accidental, due to the previous
of insects upon the plants.
The Gordius worms ara never found
parasitic upon humans or vertebrate an
imals. The stories concerning the

sweet notes of the merry songsters OF
the woods delighted his ears, and the
glinting sunshine of April had tipped
the mountain tops with halo of gold

Chill of Life" and carve his name on
the temple of fame. But, alasl the
ominous shadow Of the destroying an
gel rested on the happy home and his
yonug life went olt in the long night
of the grave. The testimony borne by
this simple epitaph has repeated the
sorrowful s ory for century that one
among IKE earliest tenants of the Gem
etery was buried alive in 1906.
All the circumstances connected with
the sickness and supposed death OF this
young man go to show that it was a
case of suspended animation, and not
one of death before, but after burial.
He was the sou of Christopher and
Christina McEnturff { (McInturff) who
owned the property where their boy
was buried, and although kept for
eight days, tradition informs us that
there was not the slightest evidence Of
physical decay at the time of his burial
The warmth of the weather on the last
day of April in our climate ought to
show evidence Of physical decay in
less than eight days in any case of real
death

cence from IA to 81 in males, and 12 to

"There is no nemon in them. They
may be eaten raw or cooked without
any danger to the eater.
"The serious part of these stories Is
that such publications may cause con-
siderable loss by preventing people
eating the cabbage they have raised or
purchased. Such fears are wholly
groundless. The worms are not COM
mon, and when they do occur upon
cabbage, they will do harm to any one
eating the vegetable. They are at
worst no more hurtful than the worms
so plentiful in apples and peaches some
seasons.
"The so-called cabbage worm, or

bodied worm, from four to twelve inch

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AND BEYOND.

There is a plain and unpublished stone
in the cemetery located on the farm Of
NJ. I. and W. j. PEBBLES in the north
ern part of Unicoi county, containing
an epitaph which reads:
"Here lieth the body OF Christopher
McEnturff, Jr. He was born March
20, 1882 and died April 22, aud hurried
the 80, 1896. His age was ID years,
one month and 4 days"

narrow house of clay in the dresmless
sleep of a century. This stone marks
the last resting place in the "silent
city" Of a tender youth just entering
his fifteenth year. The fitful and fe.
verish dream ofliie was just unfolding
to his imagination that splendid pano-
rama that spreads out like fairy land to
intoxicate the youth of both sexes.
Everything in nature was bright and
beautiful to his vision like the garden
of the Hesperides, while Hope arrayed
in the beautiful robes of guardian an
gel took him by the hand and led him
lovingly through the valley ofroses.
He knew no care and had felt no sor-
row beyond the freaks of a childish
grief. With his lovely companion,
Hope, he had chased the gaudy color
ed butterfly from flower to flower as
it fitted across the plains. He had
bounded over his native hills like the
roe or the young hart in search of the
jucicy grape snd the butter nut. Life
was one continuous round of unalloyed
pleasure, and, looking through his per-
spective, he could plainly see immedi-
ately in front of him the "Hill OF Life"
