Creek Indians a VANISHING Tribe.

Once members of the great Creek
family, the Seminoles of Florida have
lost their tribe, their traditions and
their homes. Their own people have
forgotten them. The United States
has ignored them since the Seminole
war, when their roster was lost.
Payment of the government debt
to their tribe made plutocrats of their
brothers in the west. but never a
dime reached the members of the
little band who refused to be driven
from their ancestral home. But their
Spartan courage has departed and in
the cowed and cringing remnant there
is no spark of the fire that flashed in
The Seminole's Reply"
The government has no agent
among the Seminoles, and the last
guess at their number, made by the
United States seven years ago was
1858. That fragment of the tribe has
now shrunk to 275.-Collier' Maga-

Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or wom-

some useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion
get hold of one, and all endeavor be-

"A year ago, after recovering from
an operation" writes a Mich. lady,
my stomach and nerves began to
give me much trouble.
"At times my appetite was vora-
cious, but when indulged, indigestion
followed. Other times | had no ap-

not nourish me and grew weaker

A New Market For Vegetables.

In Wisconsin an important indus
try has been developed in the manu-
facture of what are called dehydrated
vegetables. The method is about the
same as that applied to fruit in pro-
ducing evaporated apples. peaches,
etc. The vegetables, including car
rots, potatoes, cabbages, etc., are
sliced, dried and compressed into
small packages. These condensed
vegetables are sold for ship supplies
and in the mining regions of the
Northwest. An order for over 300,-
600 pounds was lately received for
the Pacific squadron of the United
States Navy. The vegetables are used
in making stews and soups.-Amer-

Travelling along a country road a

ran to the house and found that a

the little fellow by the heels, and,

Gettcr Draft Horse Breeding.

American importers of draft horses
seem to have turned their attention
to the importation of an unusual
number of pure bred draft mares
this season, in order to meet larger
demand for these, as we'll as to do
more pure breeding of draft horses in
this country. There is an increasing
demand among our farmers who pay
special attention to draft horse grow
ing, and this has prompted the addi-
! tional importation of pure bred
mares. Hitherto, as a rule, American
farmers have been content to provide
themselves with pure bred draft stall
lions and limited their horse breeding
to high grades, and for this purpose
have used the best grade mares in
this line for such purposes, content
with growing good grades that sell
on the market at 5000 to $3.50 at two
to three years old.
1t is a good indication of the COM
ing industry to see this growing con-
fidence in better horses, and is in
keeping with the forward farm move
ment in everything else. The con-
tinued demand and fair prices for
really good grade draft horses is indi-
cation enough that, notwithstanding
the increase of autos and power
transfer wagons, the horse will con-
tinue to fill place in commercial
affairs, and the best of the draft class
will be more and more in demand.
From all sources we learn that the
importations of draft and coach
horses, stations and mares are now
arriving in this country in much
greater numbers than in past years,
and what is more, American import
ers are selecting abroad and buying
the best and highest priced horses.
Numerous prize winners abroad are
being imported, and 1t looks as IL
Europe is rapidly losing a great deal

The question arises, can one be

"How will you please to have me cut

answer, yet boundless tongue is a
strange breast to be worried with.
And the misery is, that those who
