A SINGULAR DUEL.
How the Death Penalty Was Admins
a tered to Two lrdis s,S n I'M ss

How the Death Penalty Was Ae'n1ints-
tered to Two l,sdis:Rs. 81
The following story Illustrates very
well one of the characteristics af the
Indian, as ii shows that Indians, as 4
rule, did not mind dying SO much as
they were particular about the method.
It was good many years ago at Pine
Ridge, when there was trouble with
the Cheyennes. Major Cooper was
there as agent, and there were two
young Cheyennes who We're badly
wanted for murder. They had way 4
laid and killed a prospector. They
were not caught, and the chances were
that they would not be unless the sol
diers were called in. If this We're done
1t was likely to precipitate trouble
with the whole tribe, and Major Coop
er laid the case before the headmen.
They were told that if the soldiers
were sent for there would surely be
trouble and were requested politely to
ask the two erring bucks to come in
and be hanged. II
Word was sent to the two young
Indians. Head Chief and Young Mule,
who were out in the hills. They sent.
word back that they had no objection
to dying if 1t would keep the rest of
the tribe out of trouble, but that If
they had to die they preferred to die
fighting, and they wanted it distinctly
understood that they would not be
hanged. 1t was entirely against the
customs of the government, but rules
did not go for much in those days.
Results We're the chief things. and
Major Cooper sent word to them that
If they wanted a fight he would risk
accommodating them. A date was set
and early in the morning they rode to-
ward the agency, fully warmed. Major
Cooper was out to meet them, and the
rest Of the tribe, the potential hostiles,
were gathered on the hills to see fair
PLY. The agent rode out into the
open and Slipped OF his horse, using It
for cover and shooting across the sad
die. b s.
The two young Indians galioped up
to within shooting distance and COM
naaenced eircling, hanging on. the or
side OF. their ponies and shooting I'M
der their necks and across their heads.
The tacit understanding was that If
they wera killed IL was all right, but
if they got the agent they would pull
out into the. hills and wait for some
other challenger. The fight did not
last long. Cooper had heavy .bnf-
falo gun and killed one Indian, shoot
ing him through the body Of his horse.
The other kept Oh cireiing, and several
shots were exchanged tiil ths Indian
was shot through the body. He knew
It would be all up with him in a few
minutes and charged, shooting as he
came. But the agents luck held good,
and be was dropped within fifty yards.
The law was satisfied, and the agent
was able to report officially to Wash
ington that the Indians had been ex-
ecuted. Washington Star IL

The Reporter Seized Il and Got His
Real Start In Life.

a@ Real Start In Life.
All the city travelling public loves a
strap hanger because it has fellow
feeling for him. This is why the story
of how Frank Vanderbilt. the banker.
got his start has an almost universal
appeal. 1t happened when Yanderlip
was a reporter on a Chicago newspa-
per and writing financial news. The
traction situation then. as now, was al.
most impossible. Charles T. Yerkes
was traction dictator, and the stock
holders and the public never had a
word to say in the conduct of the
roads. Nor could they get any definite
idea Of the financial condition of the
properties. I'd !
The time, for the annual meeting of
the stockholders Of the principal road
came along. At all the meetings Mr..
Yerkes had ratified of the reports in
the usual undecipherable corporation
way, and no one knew what was do
ing. So yanderlip planned coup.
He bought a share Of stock. which
admitted him to the meeting. He had
been a stenographer before he became
a newspaper man. When Mr.. Yerkes
sailed into his breezy explanation of
finances the young reporter took down
everything he said. Mr.. Yerkes used
one striking phrase. and it was this:
The passengers who have seats pay
the operating expenses. but the strap
hangers pay your dividends

The next day the sentence topped
Vanderlip's account Of the meeting.
It aroused storm of discussion, for 1t

also it got Yanderlip a raise in salary
and a promotion. Saturday Evening

TEMPERANCE CRUSADE
PRoHiBiTioNIsTS EXPECT TO
MAKE SUBSTANTIAL GAINS 81
IN THE ELECTION

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov 4-The prohibit
tionists expect substantial gains in all
states where they have conducted
campaigns during the last three
months. The point of most immediate
interest to the prohibitionists of Am.
erica in the elections is saturday the
state of Delaware, where for the last
sixty days most terrific fight has
been waged to free that little common
wealth from the incubus of long estab-
lished liquor despotism. What the re-
suit will be is at this writing impos-
sible of accurate forecast. One thing
is certain, however. Never before in
the history of the prohibition fight has
tn re appeared to be so much hope for.

grimage is a journey; it is long tramp; 1t is a long, wearisome tiresome trip Is that your definition of q pilgrimage? Then, my friend, 1t is a wrong definition, for you have only told me half the truth. 'Tis true. a pilgrimage Is a journey. But it Is distinctlvely journey to shrine. Now, what was the sacred place toward which the pilgrimage of David was head ing? Why, there Is only one rational an- swer: It is the sacred place of heaven. It was toward the sacred place where Christ and all David's dear ones were ro greet him. It was not pilgrimage which began at the cradle and ended at the grave, but it was pilgrimage which be- gan at the cradle and ended at the great white throne of God. Oh, was 1t not glorious destiny toward which the an- cient psalmist was heading. It was to enter the presence of the God whose stat utes had become songs to him. That Is the man who will enjoy heaven. Not the man to whom the laws of God are bur densome and painful, but he whose de- light 1t is to obey and serve God. To him, even in this world, there come ech- oes of the songs of heaven. His ears &C., qulre miraculous power. Why, as he listens he can hear all the redeemed of heaven singing their songs of triumph. Yes, the statutes of the law have been his song so long that he can catch the songs of the heavenly lands. Christian, a you are now, can you not, catch a faint whisper of your dear ones singing in the other world?
 Through the harsh voices of our day X low, sweet prelude finds it's way; Through clouds of doubt and creeds of
 fear
 A light is breaking calm and clear. That song of love now low and far Ere long shall swell from star to star; That light the breaking day which tips The golden spired Apocalypse.

 A well known club man in New York likes nothing better than to hunt "bg game in British Columbia. During his last expedition to that region he was In camp with friend from Minnesota To- ward morning, says the New Yorker, he awoke shiyering with cold. The fire was very low. His companion was fast asleep.
 It isn't nice to get out of warm blani1- ct to roll frosty logs to the fire. so the willy New Yorker gave his friend a kick and then pretended to be asleep. There was no response, and presently the man from New York tried another kick
 At this the westerner broke into a laugh "I did the same thing to you twen. ty minutes ago." he explained, and that's how you came to be awake
 Then, of course, both turned out to build a fire.

Stomach Muscles
 in Old Age

People should be more and more care ful, as age advances, to see that their bowels move regularly. In thisway they can keep themselves in good health and prolong life. The bowels are not as ac- tive in middle-life and old age as they are in youth, and with the majority there is a tendency to constipation off chronic and obstinate nature.
 To ward off the possibility of serious diseases use Dr. Caldwells S Syrup Pep sin, the great herb laxative compound. pie because it is prompt but gentle in action, and does it's work without griping or weakening, as is the case with salts. purgatiYe waters anu cathartio tablets. These should not be used oy children, women. old folks or weak people De- cause they are too violentin action and generally ertpe. Furthermore, the results are temporary as reaction sets in and the bowels are Douna ID more than ever .,
 remedy like pr. Cadwell's Syrup Pepsn Is very gentle in action and yet thoroughly ehee. tive and as 1t contains tonic properties, ,lG strengthens the system instead of weakening 1t; The results are permanent because gradual, ana many can in a short time do away with the nse of all laxatives. It will cure the most chrohle constipation. dyspepsia, liver trouble. olIlons- ness, fatulency, sour stomach. weak stomach, boating, drowsiness after eating and such otheF stomach. liver and bowel troubles.
 To prove how effective it is in serious cases the experience of MT. Armstrong, Of Decatur tll., can be cited He suffered from gunSnob wound during the Civil War which caused par tial paralysis of the bowels and he has had ever since to use a laxative. He says he never round anything so effective. or which worked so near to nature. as Dr, Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Try it and you will say the snme. The price is 5O cents or 81 a bottle at any druggist

ture king of Israel. Oh, could David ever cease to praise the law of God for that tremendous day in his history when Samuel came into the home of his father Jesse and poured the anointing oil upon his head? For days and weeks and months do you believe he pondered over his com ing glory? When he was an aged king, with his hair white as the almond tree in blossom, do you not believe he still gloried in the fact that God had set him aside as one to fill a throne? And yet has there no amounting come to us? Has not each one of us been set apart to do some special work, which cannot be done by any one else? We have not been called 10 fill throne, but we have been called, as David was. to serve our generation and 10 testify to others that 1t Is good to obey the statutes of God
 Then, like David, we should glory in the fact that God has not only detailed us for an especial work of life. but also because God has cared for us and guid- ed us and protected us while we are doing that work. That would be a care less father who would tell a son to go and do something and then not care for the welfare of the child while he was car rying out the parental orders. So Gods divine protection during all of David life and during all of our lives has been
  our feet when we have fallen and bring Ing us back to the straight path of vir- tue when we have wandered away and been caught in the entangled thickets or sin DO you wonder that David glorl1ed In the old divine commandment which said This book of the law shall not de- part out of thy mouth, but thou shalt mediate therein day and night that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein, for thou shalt make thy way prosperous and then thou shalt have good success?"
 1t Does Not Pay.
 And today I would especially impress upon the young the fact that God still protects and cares for those who obey his laws. Sometimes the young are so near sighted that they cannot understand this. Life in It's earlier days seems to be stc1 a struggle for most young people that at times they do not think 1t pays to be good Thus some of them play the fool, as did David down in King Achsh court But, my young friend. I have wide and varied experience, and I want to tell you that 1t never pays to break one of Gods laws. And I also want you to know that some of the trials and troubles of life of which you are now complaining are yet to be the keynotes which are to sound forth your most glorious and happy songs of praise.
 But there Is one word in reference to my text to which I want to draw your attention. It is the last word: Thy stat utes have been my song in the house Of my pilgrimage" Now, what is the pill grimage? oh" you answer, "a pil-
