Many of the most exciting years of
Gen. Towards eventful life were
spent among our hostile Indians. He
mingled with them In every con-
ceivable way, now regarded as their
friend, now suspected as their enemy,
now taking part in their games, join
ing in their amusements, or attend
ing their secret ceremonies. He
faithfully describes their habits,
customs, ceremonies, and amuse-
ments as he actually saw them; he
tells of daring exploits and hair
breadth escapes not only OF himself
and other white men, but OF Indians
az well, and of his remarkable cam
paigns against Chief Joseph, Chief
Moses, Chief Lot and others-all able
Indians; he gives the true story of the
Indian princess Sarah Winnemucca
and the thrilling part she took in his
campaigns; here, too, may be found
in detail the story of the massacre of
DIR. Marcus Whitman, his bride, and
nearly all who composed that de-
voted band of missionaries.
1t was only after urgent solicita-
| ton of some of the most distinguished
men and women of our times, that
General Howard finally consented to
write this book. The kindly Chris
tian spirit of it's author pervades it
from the first page to the last. Not
one Objectionable word or suggestion
can be found in it. 1t is book
to be read aloud in the family circle by
old and young. Gen. Howard was III

He neither drank, smoked, nor swore

General Howard has passed three
score years and ten. The smoke o
his battles has died away; the gar
ments rolled in blood are all gone
His name is a familiar and honore'
household word. He is known as tn
Christian soldier, for he possesses thu

MAJOR GENERAL O. o. HOWARD's
Life and Experiences among Our Hostile
Indians.

Life and Experiences among Our Hostile
Indians.
In this magniicently illustrated
volume Maj r-General Howard re-
cords his life and personal expert
ences during the many years he spent
among the wild Indian tribes of the
Great West. His we'll known skill
and daring as an Indian fighter, and
his high position as general in SD
preme command of the army in four
great Indian wars, gave him extraor-
binary opportunities for gathering
material for one of the most absorb
ingly interesting and valuable books
published for many years.
He shows the savage warrior
stripped of all the decorations with
which writers of fiction have clothed
him. He depicts the Indian in peace
and in war, in his ferocity and gentle
ness, in his rascality and nobility, in
his boyhood, manhood and old age,
and in his wisdom, superstition and

the following to say:
TIE assets of the Lamoille County Savings
Bank and Trust Company, the progrt sslve
institution fostered by ex-Gov. Carroll ..
Page. and a remarkable monument to his
ability and sagacity, have passed the rllIion-
dollar mark. This is an especially note
worthy occurrence, when the limitations of
population, ETC., of the territory from which
the bank draws it's patronage is taken into
consideration, and would only BE- possible
with the most judicious management. 1t is
| noteworthy also that every cent of the million
dollars is invested in Vermont, "to foster
Vermont industries and deve'op Vermont
enterprises" The institution and its astute
president are certainly entitled to congratu'

WAY TO CURE A COLD.

Break Up the Attack.
It Is the easiest thing In the world
to catch cold. One does imprudent
things and next thing finds ones self
In possession of or rather possessed by
a horrible attack Of grippe.
As rule the simplest remedies for
a cold are the surest. There is nothing
for carrying OF the congestion like a
hot bath, a hot drink and good sweat
Do this at night.
Another efficacious method Is to snuff
up warm salt water. But one must not
go out right after this or the cold will
be aggravated,
If It is q tight cold In the head rub
the bridge of the nose thoroughly with
vaseline at night This simple remedy
sometimes works like a charm.
1t is of the utmost Importance during
a cold to keep the system from becom-
ing clogged. The old, senseless maxim,
Feed a cold and starve a fever is re-
sponsible for many bad complexlons
and prolonged colds. The proper meth
Cd is to eat very lightly and even par
TALLY fast.
Rub a little camphorated cream on
the chapped lips and nose. II there are
fever sores moisten a little powdered
borax and apply. For the aching limbs
a good rubbing with alcohol or spirits
Of camphor is excellent
If necessary to go out next morning
rub the body vigorously with alcohol
and a Turkish towel before venturlns
forth. 1t Is of the utmost Importance
to avoid getting chilled after the hot
bath.

fruit In your diet, eat fresh figs, drink
hot water on arising and before meals

three Italian children-two girls and a

them, and they told her that their par

so poor.
The charitably inclined young woman
first fitted them out with stockings and
then bought them three pairs of shoes,

| As there Is no royal road to learning
so there Is no certain formula for ma
ter1al success In life. All the success
full men give out prescriptions for the
attainment of wealth or other things
| to be desired, but these prescriptions
are obviously faulty, since they do not
succeed save in few cases. Most men
remain poor In spite of them. The ed-
vice Of successful men Is usually as use
less as 1t is platitudinous This Is be-
cause 1t Jumps all men together, where
as every man is a case by himself. Here
Is E. H. Hartman, for instance, max
Ing public the secret Of his success II
just attend to business" he says; that
Is how 1 succeed Anybody can do the
same" Yet all Of us know hundreds
OF men who, though they attend to
business as faithfully as they can. are
not successful even In a modest way.
They toll early and late, they neglect
no honest effort, yet they live and die
failures So far as materia! success Is
concerned. Mr.. Harriman's system Is
thus Intellectual with respect to a large
proportion of men, and he seems to
realize 1t, for he goes on to amplify
and qualify his advice very materially.
II keep In touch with natters In which
l am concerned" he says "and meet
the turn in events at the proper time.
Any man of reasonable intelligence
with ability to appreciate the golden
opportunity and seize 1t will succeed
in his endeavora" This puts a very diff
ferent complexion upon 1t. Attention
to business alone will not suffice. The
aspirant for great things must also
meet the turn of events at the proper
time; be must seize the golden oppor-
tunity and know when to seize It.
Assidufty must be supplemented by
qualities which are not common to all
men And It Is In these qualities that
success resides. Successful men who,
like Hartman, give advice to those
who wish to emulate them would do
better If they put the matter another
way. They should say that men can
not succeed without energy and indus
try, but they should not assert that
those qualities alone will command
success. For the truth Is that success
In material things Is often the result
Of qualities which are not entirely ad-
mirable, even though they are rare
As for success In matters NOT maforiaI
1t can be attained by every one. A man
may live all his life in poverty to die
rich at last In those things which can
not be bought for money. This is sue
cess which can not only be deserved,
but which can be commanded.
