wrong. They may be put up in tab

same. The object is 10 create artificial
digestion. but this does not make a
cure. Stop taking the pepsin, etc, and
you have your dyspepsia or Indigestion
back again and sick headache, it does
not cure, stop taking the drugs and the
pain and distress return. The only COM
mon sense method is TO drive out of

medicine that will act on the liver. Tails
forces through the glands of the stom-

ditions as affected by Congress
man Kinllaid's new bill, allow
ing $40 acres to be located as a
homestead. He said, IL don't
want any of it in mine.
"That land will do for graz
ing for six months in the year,
but | don't see how the stock is
to be kept for the rest of the
time, as there is no hay land
and no water. The big cattle
men have already taken in all
the good land along the creeks.
There Is a better prospect up
in the Rosebud country, just
west of the portion that is be-
ing opened for homesteading.
That is where a grazing lease
can be made, in tracts includ-

country is fine, and | am in

Graciously, tenderly it lin
gers the Indian summer, with
its soft air and its tonic of the
rlpened year, that superabun-
dant ethereal wine which has
power to make the dull eve
sparkle and to hallow the face
of melancholy with a smile from
the heart-deeps. Would you
quaff the exhilarant at it's pur-
est? Then to the woods and
the quiet hillsides bathed in
golden sunshine, carpeted with
velvety MOSES and russell
leaves, and all redolent of
Mother Earth's preserving
time. But why do we call it
Indian summer? 1t sounds pref
ty, in a way prettier than
Indian mush, for instance.
Why not have something aprop-
os for a name? 1t isn't summer,
nor is it torrid, nor has it aught
to do with the poor Indian,
whose fate has been anvthing
but summary. Let us get in
touch with the poets and call
this time of grace simply -the
afterglow.- Boston Transcript.
