L'AUM0NE AU VILLAGE
L'ENFANT

La vo1s.tu, dis, maman, la vielle Mathurine,
La vois-tu, tout la-bas, qui lentement chemlne?
Qu'elle est laide, vraiment, avec son dos voute,
Sa t6te tremblotante ct son air h6bet6,
SEES villains cheveux girls, ga figure rldee
Eft ses habits, enfn, don't on ma pas ideei
Ellie ma que deux dents, mails Giles sont, je crois,
Dune lcngueur 6gale a celle de mes doigts:
Puisquv lon perd ses dents lorsque Pon est %gourmand
Ellie a d1 fort letre. D'ailleurs ellie demande
Sans iamais Sc lasses. Quand son sac est bien plein,
Ellie marmotte encore Gun petit bout de pain"
Pourquoi ]ui donnes-tu toujours de preference
A ce jeune gareon qui chante, sltfle, danse
Lorsqu'il Went handler! Il me para1t beaucoup m1eux
Il est doux; il est gal, son air gracleux,
II q toujours un mot amusant q vous dire,
Ri. rien ou'en lie voyant, Pon 6clate de rire....
La vieille me fait peur avec ses grands yeux morris,
Et puts on dit partout qu'elle jette DIES sorts.
LA MERE
Tais-to OF Marthe, ta%is-tois; je ne suis pas contente.
A tentendre ]aser, on tie crolralt mechanic,
Ainsi pour t'6mouvoir, pour attendrir ton occur,
II fault etre joyeux, il fault etre rieur.
Mathurine autrefois te ~ressemblalt ma file;
Ellie 6tait, NATION dit, vive, fra1che ct GENTLE,
MATS Page ct lie %chagrain, qui rongent les plus forts,
Ell puis, ma pauvre enfant, c'est lamentable q dire,
CetC0 Vl6lllo uul p6uO d P0AAC % SOAAuAAC
Qui va de porte en- porte implorer son proclaim
Pour ne pas succomber ct de froid ct de falm,
Cette femme a des fills. Oh! la chose cruelle:
Ills ne lui donnent rien, n'esp6rant plus rlen dele.
Mathurine, pourtant, les a'bien eleve;
De soins ct de douceurs lis n'6taient pas priv6s,
Ellie 6tait fere d'eux, les faisait beaux ct braves,
Les gatait sans mesure ct ne mettait dentraves
A null de leurs d6sirs. go. Combien ellie await tort!
lis n'ob6irent plus quand leur pere fut mort
lis furent dos tyrans pour leur trop fable mere,
BIT mangerent son bien. Puts, lorsque la misere
Eut pris place au logis, lis %partirent sans brult,
CONNIE deux criminels, dams pombre de la mutt.
Ce qui la fit pleurer, la vieille abandonn6e
Ce ne fut pas, crois moi, So trlste destin6e,
Ce fut d'avoir senti que ces enfants ingrats
Qu'elle await tant Anne, h6las! ne paimaient pas.
A dater de CO jour, ct ma]gr6 son grand age,
Ellie chercha 50 vie a travers lie village.
Ellie SQUIRE toujours, mails en- Sc r6signant,
Et, loin de murmurer va sans cesse prlant.
Pour mieux so consider dune existence amere,
Ellie dit que Jesus a gravi son calvalre,
Quill 6tait Dieu, pourtant, ct rempli de bonte,
Et qu'on a point pour ellie autant de cruaute.
Riras.tu dele encore?

Passing Of a Paper.
Only Publication Of the Kind in
Existence will cease.

With the passing Of tribal gov
eminent Of the Cherokee Nation
there will pass out Of existence one
Of the most unique publications
that has ever existed il the United
States The Cherokee Advocate.
This is a newspaper curiosity It
is printed in Cherokee, the Chero-
kee side being printed in Cherokee
characters. There are IS charac-
ters in that alphabet, and on that
account a printer's case Of type is
quite a complicated affair. There
are in the nation only FIVE printers
able to set the Cherokee type for
the newspaper. They are T. w.
Foreman, Gail Starr, G. Woford,
Joe Sequichie and d. L. E. Small
wood. These FIVE have a greater
monopoly than any union or trust.
But they have never been known to
strike. Another peculiar feature
about the Advocate is that its edi-
tor and manages never has TO wor-
~ about how business keeps up.
The paper is a national institution
and is supported by the nation, the
council passing an appropriation
every year for its support. The
paper is distributed free to the full
blood Cherokees who can not
read English. There are 900
copies sent to them every week. In
addition TO this, however there are
hundreds Of copies sent out over
the United States as a curiosity.
This is the only publication that
has ever been printed in Indian
language using Indian characters.
In the other nations of the FIVE civ
ilized tribes a good deal Of matter
Of interest to Indians is published
in the Indian language Of that n4-
ton, bat English characters are
used The Advocate is one Of the
oldest papers west Of the Mississip-
pi river II was established in 1874
and has been published ever since.

MILLIONAIhE'S POOR STOM-
ACH.

The WORKOUT stomach of the over
fed millionaire is often paraded in
the public prints as a horrible ex-
ample of the evils attendant on the
possession of great wealth. But mil
lionaires are not the only ones who
are afflicted with bad stomachs. The
proportion is far greater among the
toilers. Dyspepsia and indigestion
are rampant among these people, and
they suffer far worse tortures than
the millionaire unless they avail
themselves of a standard medicine
like Green's August Flower, which
has been a favorlte household remedy
for all stomach troubles for over
thirty-five years. August Flower
rouses the torpid liver, thus creating
appetite and insuring perfect diges-
ton. 1T tones and yitaIizes the en-
tire system and makes life worth Iiv-
ing, no matter what your station.

FROM THE
RANKS.

The Wal Department has recently
received a number of protests from
enlisted men which should receive
sincere and speedy investigation.
Many men of capacity and ambition
in the ranks have complained that
in numerous instances their officers
have arbitrarily declined to approve
their requests to go before examin-
ing boards to compete for promo
tons to second lieutenancies. Under
the law such opportunities ire open
to them if they possess good char
acters and are able to meet the
requisites.
The United States army, of all
services in the world, should have
as little as possible of the caste spirit
in it. And if the p~rejudices of West
Point graduates are allowed to weigh
against the manifest purpose Of the
law, it will be to the weakening and
detriment of the entire army spirit.
The war department should pro-
coed vigorously and unfinchingly to
work to investigate this matter. We
are not, however, sanguine enough
to hope that the secretary of war is
likely 10 receive much encourage
ment along this line from Mr.. Roe5e-
welt. By his unwarranted promo
tons of General Wood he has dem
onstrated that he considers the
United States army more in the
light of a personal toy than other
wise. When his favorites are raised
to honor by a scratch Of the pen,
over the heads of scores of officers of
long service and great desserts, to
the detriment of the service, it is
scarcely to be expected that he will
be inclined to champion the cause of
the man in the ranks who is seeking
for opportunity under the law. We
should be really surprised if cOn-
plant Of the soldiers receives the at
tenti0n which it deserves at the
hands of the war department..
