self in order that he might secure
money on a draft novel method was
employed by travelling salesman of
Detroit, at hotel in this city recently,
reports the Milwaukee Sentinel. The
man is quite well known among a
number of business men in this city,
and he has never experienced any diff
ficulty in securing the necessary iden-
tification for cashing drafts. He ex-
pected to reach Milwaukee on Satur-
day, but did not arrive until Monday.
When he registered at the hotel he
asked the clerk to cash a check for
him, but the clerk politely asked for
identification. The man then called up
a number of his business acquaint-
ances by telephone, but was unable to
locate any of them. Finally a happy
thought struck him. Taking off his
collar and necktie, and unbuttoning
his shirt bosom, he exclaimed:
81 guess that will identify me-"
On the breast of the man was his
name tattooed in blue letters. He
stated that the name had been tattooed
on his breast years ago. The draft was
cashed by the clerk.

LAND PATENTS HELD UP.
Forty-Two Thousand of Them Are
Stored Away in Vaults
in Muskogee.

Forty-two thousand patents 70 land
in the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations
are lying in the vaults of the commits
sion to the five civilized tribes in Mus
kogee. duly executed by the governors
of the two nations, approved by the
secretary of the interior and ready for
delivery. The commission is holding
them under instructions from the sec
retary of the interior and the tribal
officials assert that the secretary is
delaying action in hope of getting au-
thority from congress to take the de-
livery of these deeds out of the hands
of the governors of the tribes and have
the work done by government Off
cials. The patents have been bone
of contention between Secretary Hitch
cock and the Indian governors for
more than a year. The Curtis bill, as
now pending, provides that the deeds
shall be delivered under the direction
of the secretary of the interior to the
party entitled to receive the same"
and if this clause becomes law as it
probably will in a short time, it will
do away with all claims on the part of
the governors to the right of making
the delivery themselves.

pepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness, all
catarrhal affections, whether of the
stomach, bowels, kidneys, bladder, nasal
passages, throat, bronchia. or other mu-

for all diseases arising from thin, watery
or impure blood, as scrofulous and skin
affections
Each bottle of the above medicines

these medicines in a class all by them
selves, and is the best guaranty of their
merits. They cannot be classed as patent
nor secret medicines for they are neither
being of kno,on composition.
DIR. Pierce feels that he can afford to
take the afflicted into his full confidence
and lay all the ingredients of his medi-
cines freely before them because these
ingredients are such as are endorsed and
most strongly praised by scores of the
most eminent medical writers as cures
for the diseases for which these medi-
cines are recommended. Therefore, the
afflicted do not have to rely alone upon
DR.. Pierce's recommendation as to the
curative value of his medicines for GER
tain easily recognized diseases.
A glance at the printed formula on
each bottle will show that no alcohol and
no harmful or habit-forming drugs enter
into DIR. Pierce's medicines, they being
wholly compounded of glyceric extracts
of the roots of native, American forest
plants. These are best and safest for
the cure of most lingering, chronic dis
eases. DR.. r. v. Pierce can be consulted
