Pontiac, Great Organizer.

Pontiac exemplified at once the best
and the worst traits of the American
Indian. AS an organizer among a PEG.
pie with whom organization is almost
impossible, and as master of the
treacherous statecraft of his race. he
probably surpassed them all. AS soon
as his death was known, the French
governor at st. LOUIS sent for his
body and buried it with full martial
honors near the fort. For a mauso-
leum," Parkman finely says "a great
city has arisen above the forest hero;

such burning rancor, trample with I'M

Forbidden Games.

Almost every one Of England's pop.
ulsr games has at one time OF another
been made illegal. Scotland ls the
home Of golf, yet in 1857 the Scottish
parliament passed an act cntailing Sc
vere penalties on any one caught play
ing the game.
Edward III, Henry ". and Henry
VIII. all strongly objected to football,
and Queen Elizabeth made II an Of
fense punishable by imprisonment to
play football There is a record OF six
teen people being imprisoned at once
for breaking this law
Football is still under ban IN some
parts OF the world. Two Of the Swiss
cantons refuse to allow It. and in Tur-
key II is absolutely Illegal ana those
who dare to play It are punished.
Among oddities OF laws about games
must lie mentioned a French decree OF
the thirteenth century. BY the kings
command the gallants Of the court
were forbidden to play tennis in
their shirts" Whether bis majesty Of
France insisted upon coats only OF
whether the unfortunate players were
doomed to practice in complete suits

ENGAGEMENT Gifts

A question very often asked by girls
A, Should they return the gifts given
them by men with whom they have
ceased to be on friendly terms?
The return Of a gift depends largely
upon its value.
When a man is attentive to a girl he
lavishes small attentions upon her in
the shape Of books, etc. If he is en-
gagged to her the gifts are more costly.
and take the form Of iewelry or sill
yer in some form. Gifts of that kind
should never be retained after the en-
gagement is broken.
Where the affair has merely been
that of friendship. and the gifts have
not been of any special intrinsic value.
there is no particular reason why they
should be returned No girl should
accept valuable presents from a man
unless she is engaged to him.
Jewelry in any form should not be
accepted. 1t is all right to take books.
pictures or any inexpensive trihe. but
it is poor taste to accept valuable
gifts from any man who is not a rela-
tive or a prospective one.
1t is an amazing but true fact that
some girls object to returning their en-
gagement ring after the engagement is
broken. Imagine keeping the token OF
an enga agement when that engagement
no longer existsi Could the abuse OF
sentiment go further. A girl Of fine
feeling would feel that she could not
get rid of the ring too quickly.
Letters and photographs hould also
be returned or destroyed. IT is much
better to keep no reminder Of the
broken tie.
Accepting money from a man is in
excusable, be he friend or fiance. The
girl who does so places herself under
an insufferable obligation. Nor should
n girl ever borrow money from a man.
A man cannot very well refuse to lend
it, but the girl viii go down in his
estimation immeasurably The more
Independent a girl is in money matters
the better for her.
gifts, letters and photographs, the
proper thing to do is to write him a
courteous note asking him to return
whatever letters and photographs he
may have Of yours, telling him that
you will also return his.
Never write a letter to a man that
you would be ashamed to have read
aloud. Men are proverbiany careless
Of letters. and there is no telling what
hands your letters may fall into.
Do not be too generous with your
| photographs. While a man is interested
| in a girl he values her picture highly
but as soon as the interest wanes the
picture becomes of no value whatever
and is allowed to lie around most care
/ lessly Any sister can testify as tC
the value most men place upon gifts
given them by girls they do not especi-
ally care for
When an engagement is broken and
sentiment is dead pride should pre-
vent you from keeping any Of the sent
mental tokens connected with your en-
gagement.
Send back every gift the ring in
| cluded.

TO MAKE THE
BEST REMEDY
Fine Prescription For Rheu-
matiSm and Kidney
Troubles

A large Eastern publication tells its
readers Of number OF simple and safe
prescriptions that can be made at home.
The following, however. for the cure Of
rheumatism and kidney and bladder
troubles receives the greatest praise, viz,
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-haf ounce;
Compound Kargon. one ounce; Compound
Syrup sarsaparilla, three ounces. These
simple vegetable ingredients can be OBJ
tained at any good prescription pharmacy
at little cost and are mixed by shaking
well in bottle.
The dose for adults Is a teaspoonful after
each meal and at bedtime drinking a fun
tumblerful OF water after each dose. It IS
further stated that this prescription Is a
positive remedy for kidney trouble and
lame back, weak bladder and urinary DIFF
ficulties especially Of the elderly people.
and one Of the best things TO be used In
rheumatic Affections relieving the aches
and pains and reducing swellings in just
short while
A well-known local druggist states that
the Compound Kargon in it does the work.
II is the drug which acts directly upon
the eliminative tissues OF the kidneys;
cleanses the spongelike organs and gives
them power 70 sift and strain the poison-
Gus waste matter and uric acid from the
blood which is tint cause Of rheumatism.
Cut this out and hand to some sufferer
which would certainly be an act Of hui

found the speech and read It through,
together with n note from Fitch, In.
forming him that unless he was paid

utes the cashier, on Mr.. Sharon's or
