AN INDIAN JOKER.

Made No Attenpt TO Answer.
1T is a notorious fact that there are
but few humorists among the many
thousands Of Indians in this country.
and l therefore regard 1t as a distinc.
ton to have enjoyed the friendship Of
q red man who was a wag in every
sense Of; the. word" observed former
member Of congress from Ohio in con-
.versation with a friend.
"'The wag to whom 1 refer was
known as Kickingberg and was a
Kiowa. He was a fine, handsome ami
tall specimen Of Indian manhood. He
and myself became fast friends and
often dined together.
II recall an incident in which Kick
ingberg played a part. 1t was an Inn
portant conference between DIR. Rose
Of Philadelphia and q delegation Of
Kiowas and was held almost within
the shadow Of Fort Sill. In the course
OF. his remarks DR.. Rose urged the
red man to follow In the steps of the
Industrious white man-to get q piece
Of land, till 1t. raise a family and be-
come a citizen of whom the community
might be proud. At the conclusion Of
Ais remarks; DR.. Rose announced that.
he was willing to be INTERCEPTED:
"Kickingberg took the door. He said,
Why don't white men do as white man

Fort Sill he continued, saying, Lots

BANK BOOKS.


The Way OeDosttOSA Are Ff0aeeteo
and Made More Careful.
III we don't have ut least Eve per-
IONS every day come in here to give
notice Of their lost bank book we think
It unusual" said a cashier Of Of the
city banks recently.
"As soon as a book is reported lost q
check is made against it in the bank
and the loser is requested to advertise
the loss. For from a fortnight to thirty
days ensuing no money can be with
drawn on that account, unless the book
shall be found. Fl not found the de-
positor must apply for a new book.
Generally an affidavit must first be
made that the loser cannot find the
book and that it has not been trans
ferred or assigned. .
"All this is scarcely necessary. but
It makes a bank absolutely safe in re-
epect to that deposit, and it the
6eDositor to enough trouble to make
him or her careful thereafter. Every
thing having been performed as out
lined, the depositor may get a new
book, which means opening a new ac-
count, as accounts arepnever duplicated.
I'm my experience Of many years l
do not recall a case where fnders have
presented books in hopes Of withdraw
ing money. 1t would be almost i'm
possible for a person not the owner Of
the book to withdraw a cent on the
account. At the time Of the original
deposit the depositor, before getting a
book, has to answer certain questions
are framed to -Axs thes :depositor*s
identity and to protect the depositor.
The dspdsitor mist also ieave IN auto
graph on the bank register. Whensver
money is Withdrawn. these Questions
must be answered and the autograph
attached to an order. This = an ef-
fectual test. Each book, IL numbered
and bears the depositors name.
I'VE have been asked II depositors
would not be better protected II banks
oultted the name from the book and
simply numbered 1t. We a e no
advantage in that. The plan would not
defeat the purposes Of a thief. for one
who would steal a bank book would
know the name Of the owner, and the
withdrawal Of deposits is so well
guarded that even with the owners
name a finder could not get money
from the bank.
There are probably from 1900 to
1900 books lost every year, Of which
400 to 500 eventually turn up. That
ear from one-third to two-hfths of
1 per cen of the whole number of
books out disappear, and one-third Of
that number get back to the owners.
Where the rest go is a puzzle not to be
solved."-Chicago Tribune.

CoLDweLL & CHAuOOIN SUCCESSFUL.

After a great deal of effort and corre-
spondence, Coldwell and Chaudoin,
the popular druggists, have succeeded
in getting the DR.. Howard Co. to make
a special half-price introd uctory offer
on the regular fifty cent size of their
celebrated specific for the cure OF con-
stpation and dyspepsia.
This medicine is recent discovery
for the cure of all diseases of the stom-
ach and bowels 1t not only gives
quick relief, but makes permanent
cures
DR.. Howards specific has been so re-
markably successful in curing constipa-
ton, dyspepsia and all liver troubles,
that they are willing to return the price
paid in every case where it does not
give relief.
The old-fashioned idea of dosing with
mineral waters, cathartic pills or harsh
purgatives will soon be thing OF the
past. The best physicians are presc-lb
ing DR.. Howard's specific because II
really gives the desired results and be-
cause Of the small and pleasant dose
that is needed.
Headaches, coated tongue, dizziness
gas on stomach, specks before the eyes,
constipation, and all forms of liver and
stomach trouble are soon cured by this
scientific medicine.
