the band, the surging crowds around
the ticket wagon, and the cheers from
the seats 1t almost seemed as though
there had been funeral in the family,
and we were sitting around in the
cold parlor waiting for the lawyers to
read the will. But in a couple OF
days pa got busy, and he hired young
Indian who was a graduate of Car
Isle, as an interpreter, and reformed
cowboy, to go with us to the cattle
ranges, and an old big game hunter
who was to accompany us to the places
where we could find buffalo and griz-
ely bears Pa chartered car to take
us west, and after the Indian and the
cowboy and the hunter got sobered up,
on the train, and got the st. Louis
ptomaine poison out of their systems,
and we were going through Kansas,
pa got us all into the smoking COM
partment.
Gentlemen" he said, Il want you
to know that this expedition is backed
by the wealth of the circus world, and
that here is nothing cheap about it.
We are to hire, regardless of expense,

IN OCEAN DEPTHS.

Some of the most beautiful sights
are found in the seattle coral reefs
and the sunken gardens, filed with
strange marine plants. Some marine
animals live only in the purest wa
ter, others only in the foulest water;
for every condition there is life to
fit it.
In all ocean basins, hills and ridges,
as well as troughs and deep holes, &C.
cur, and the bottom is covered with
the skeletons of marine animals,
changed by. time into slime and stone.
Some of the animals of the ocean
have no eyes, having no need Of them;
others have hundred eyes.
The largest animal and the tiniest
animal are found in the sea. In places
the sea is 10000 feet deep. Its aver
age depth is over 10000 feet. Twice
every "A hours the water rises and
falls. At the entrance to the Bay
OF Fundy the rise at spring tide is no
less than 20 feet. The natural power
that controls the tide is tremendous
one.
And the plant life in the ocean IS
almost as remarkable as the animal
life. Learned men have been study
ing it for centuries and are only be-
ginning to understand it. If you want
to be interested as no novel can in
terest you, procure a book telling in
a simple manner of the life in the
seas. There are plenty of such books
written for the people rather than for
scientists

and started for the Indian reservation
where the Carlisle Indian originally
came from, and where we were to hire
Indians for our show We rode about
40 miles in hired buckboards, and just
as the sun was setting there appeared
in the distance an Indian camp. where
smoke assembled from tepees, tents and
bark houses When the civilized Carlisle
Indian jumped up on the front seat of
the blackboard and gave series of
yells that caused pas bald head to
look ashamed that it had no hair to
stand on end, there came war
whoop from the camp, Indians, squaws,
dogs, and everything that con-
tanned noise letting out yells that
made me sick The Carlisle Indian
began to pull off his citizen clothes of
civilization, and when the horses ran
down to the camp n front of the
chiefs tent the tribes welcomed the
Carlisle prodigal son, who had re-
moved every evidence of civilization,
except a pair of football pants, and
thus he reinstated himself with the af-
fections of his race, who Rugged him
for JOY.
Pa and the rest of us sat in the buck
board while the Indians began to feast
on something cooking in a shack. We
looked at each other for awhile, not
daring to make a noise for fear it
would offend the Indians. Pretty soon

an old chief came and called pa the
Great Father, and called me a pup,
and he invited US to come into camp
and partake of the feast.
Well, we were hungry, and the meat
certainly tasted good, and the Car
Isle civilized Indian had no business
to say it was dog, cause no man
likes to smoke his pipe of peace with
strong tobacco in a strange pipe, and
feel that his stomach is full of dog meat.
But we didn't die, and all the evening the
Indians talked about the brave great
father.
1t seemed that they were not going
to rake much stock in pas bravery
until they had tried him out in In
dian fashion. We were standing in
the moonlight surrounded by Indians,
and pa had been questioned as to his
bravery, and pa said he was brave
like Roosevelt, and he swelled out his
chest and looked the part. when the
chief said, pointing TO a savage, snarl-
ing dog that was smelling of pa:
Brave man, kick a dogi"
We all told pa that The Indian want
ed pa to give an exhibition of his
bravery by kicking the dog, and while
l could see that pa had rather hire
a man to kick the dog. he knew that
it was up to him to show his mettle.
so he hauled OFF and gave the dog a
kick near the tail. which seemed TO
telescope the dogs spine together, and
the dog landed far away. The chief
patted pa on the shoulder and said:

morrow he kill a grizzly and then

You may have noticed that have been
letting my hair and mustache and chin

that next year I will be a dead ringer
for Bill. All l want is some expe-
rience as a hero of the plains, as a

rider of wild horses, and a few
things like that, and next year you
will see me ride white horse up in
front of the press seats in our show,
take off my broad brimmed hat, and
wave 1t at the crowned heads in the
boxes, give the spurs to my horse,
and ride away like cavalier, and the

{ Pa said he could learn to do it in
a week, but the cowman said: Not

would be ready to call pa B. Bill

be right into his hand, cause he use

The Indian said he would be ready
to salute pa as Buffalo Bill the Sec

would look the Indian in the eye and
hypnotic the red man so he would

Curious Results When Coffee Drink

III Is AGdIOO06O.
1t is almost as hard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use of coffee as it is for
a whisky or tobacco fiend to break off,
except that the coffee user can quit cof-
fee and take up Postum Food Coffee
without any feeling of loss of the
morning beverage, for when Postum is
well boiled and served with cream. ii
is really better in point of flavor than
most of the coffee served nowadays,
and to the taste of the connoisseur it
is like the flavor of fine Java.
A great transformation takes place in
the body within ten days or two weeks
after coffee is left off and Postum Food
Coffee used. for the reason that the poi
son to the nerves has been discontinued
and in its place is taken liquid that
contains the most powerful elements of
nourishment
1t is easy to make this test and prove
these statements by changing from cof-
fee to Postum Food Coffee.
