The
Case ofGrace Ellen
Who
Demanded a
Spanking.

Did you ever hear Of a little girl
who wanted to be spanked? Actually

you certainly ought to know about
trace Ellen Mcdonald.
Il happened like this: Grace Ellen
had formed . very bad habit; she
ate raw potatoes. She would beg
lhem from ceot in the aftegnoons
whom school w4s out. and peel them
and eat them with salt n the same
ny that had little boys eat green

Grace Ellen. Mas usually an obedi-
mt little girl. but somehow she al
ways forgot about the potatoes. In
vain her mamma reasoned with her,
md her papa. forbade her to touch

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
FROM the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration to health
means 80 much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women l am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms Of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. It 10
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege.
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

which are sold at from forty.four TO eighty

from 400 TO 500 cigarettes. so Il will be seen
that they are much cheaper than In this

COURTSHIP AMONG CHEYENNES,
Indian Tribe That Holds to Its Marriage
Customs in spite Of Civilization
From ihe kdHsds Clig star.

FROM lNf huNhue ' w tNtUIs
The Cheyennts have advanced In the ways
Of civil Lation. but they still cling to Their
old marriage custom. Before he II eligible
for the hand Of young woman OF more than
ordinary charms the young man must
have distinguished himself by some ieat
of bravery or accumulated property.
Courtship begins usually at dance at
tended by the young people OF the village
The girls sit by themselves at one side Of the
tepee and the young men at the otheT' All
wear their finest toggery. peculiar feature
OF their dress Is that each wears blanket
concealing all except their eyes.
The love sick Indian swain sazes inces-
sanity from the corner Of one eye at his pos
,ible sweetheart. She responds by arising
and dancing round the fre and seals her
choice by cutting him on the ear This she
does several times. her last stroke some
times almost knocking the young man from
his kst. to the merriment Of the onlookers.
The two then dance together, often win
other couples. until late at night
I'm q few days the young man goes and
stands near the tepee Of the girls father
The obscrvant mother calls her daughters
attention TO the presence OF Running Panther
or whatever his name may be, The girl,

Is indlsputabs that she is q firt and that
the young man has been Tilted. II she is
sincere she stands coquettishy looking In
a direction away from the young man. He
advances and dro1s a blanket over both
their heads. lie has made great progress
and rivals might as well go hunting The
two stand under the blanket and talk to their
hearts content It would be improper for
other persons 10 the camp to take notice
OF them.
The next step is for the young man to visit
the girls father and make known the value
Of his property. usually in ponies, which is
offered to the father In exchange for his
daughter The old man takes the proposal
under advisement
One ardent lover whom recall having been
stripped Of all his ponies by the vcissltudes
OF war gave himself to a chief to get the
latter's daughter aud was accepted. For
years the old chief called upon his faithful
son -in-law to perform all manner Of hazard
GUS and dangerous tasks The son-in-law
obeyed Loyalty so long as the old man lived,
and at the latters death said gallantly that
the gift Of the old mans daughter had well
repaid him for all the sacrifices he had made
The father having accepted the gifts Of
the young man the latter brings the affsir
10 a close by lying on the ground at the old
mans tepee curled like a dog to show how
abject and faithful he will he. The father
then invites bis future son-ln-law into the
tepee and names the day for the marria 90
ceremony.
A new tepec in which no one has ever
slept is now prepared by the girls mother
