THE CREEK INDIANS.
How They Lived In the EARLY Days
In Indian Territorv

In Indian Territory.
In early days in Indian Territory the
Greeks had simple but abundant food
always on hand. Among the cdibles
were sweet potatoes, almost white in
flesh, with II brilliant crimson skin.

their standby, and the soil and climate

first igi;ii| OF the year had been offered
TO the spirits; the soft white flour corn
that. beaten in the great wooden NOR
tars, made delicious bread; the hard,
tlinty corn which, hullcd in the NOR
tars, was the basis for sofkey, the
great national dish. and, besides, there
was rank growing field corn for stock
food. Where the cornfclds were. pump

the cabins with poles strung with sec
tons of pumpkins drying in the sun

plated in long fcstoons to dry for Win

and field peas We're also dried and
stored. Wonderful melons were raised
in large quantities of such size and
quality that they We're surpassed by

A London newspaper has been asking
u number of very old men for the Sc
cret Of their long life. The replies are
of the sort commonly heard. One lives
long because he has taken Wine every
day In moderation, another because he
has never tasted wine. One finds sover-
eign virtue in moderate physical exer-
else; another is convinced that he lives
long because he keeps his body quiet
and his mind active, all of which
means that each man has followed his
natural inclination, never exceeded the
measure fixed by good sense and really
thought little or nothing about it.-St.
Louis Post-Dispatch.

Mind Accomplishments.

Power to do is largely result of self
faith or self confidence. No matter
what you undertake, you will not do it
until you think you can. You will not
master 1t until you first feel the mas
terry and do the deed in your mind. 1t
must first be thought out or it can new
er be wrought out. 1t must be a mind
accomplishment before it can be ma
terial one.-Success.
