Will we not keep faith with the pale face? Only nations of singing birds break faith. and liars are no braves. Say to your father, the great chief Trot- ting Wolf, that the Cherokee will keep faith with the Choetaw"
 There are old fuods," the maiden answered, and Choctaw braves, like the lroquoise, do not forget"
 All tribes have fueds. even the Choctaws and the Creeks, tribes of one mother, have hunted each the others scalp and have kept their knife blades red with fresh blood. The fue Is of the Cherokee and the Choctaw were never worse Plead with the Choctaw brave, your father for the heart of Dar-dah-ne-leh can rest no more until Leh-on-et-tuh's S hands make venison in his lodge.

much firewater. The Cherokee had money, much money which the pale face wanted. He asked the Cherokee to visit him on his great boat He filled the red man wltn firewater which made him a fool so that he gladly gave the price of his fathers hunting grounds for a handful of beads and bit of paint. When the firewater had burned away and the braves were fools no more, they wanted their money, and Bowl, the great chief, went to the pale-face and begged him to deal honestly and prom ised peace For his kind words he was ordered off the boat. On the bank of the flowing river the red man waited for his money. Instead there came insult. Then my ancestors loaded their rifles, but Bowl ordered peace and with two wise chiefs went again to the pale-face and pleaded for justice. Then the pale-face took the boat poles and killed the two wise chiefs Again Bowl returned to the bank and held forth his hand to stay the red mans fury. But the Chero- kee had seen. Were the braves of the greatest of all tribes but girls? Cherokee blood runs faster than a prairie fire, and hotter. When they had done with the pale-face his body lay under the blood-streaked water
 fit food for fish, and his scalp hung by the belts of those he had spit on. His women and children were pro
 tected and sent where they had started

Youngsters are pretty philosoph. fcal," observed Wallace Knight. and then he went ahead to set forth the point of view of small daughter at his house
 The child was sent to bed early the other evening as punishment for some act contrary to rules and regula- tiols.
 After she had been tucked in bed for some time and was supposedly asleep, the youngster called her fa- ther and told him she wished he would go ahead and spank her and have it over with, instead of sending her otr to bed that way. This lying in bed never's going to make me any better \ she said, and a good spanking would! Besides it makes me so mad I can't sleep and so what's the use of it?"-1 Cleveland Plain Dealer.

But my people too, were great, :" answered the proud maiden. My nation was seven times great with braves that knew no fear and tlinched at no pain. In the hunting grounds of the Rising Sun, beyond the Great River, they lived and loved and hated. Around my tribe was the Creek, the Quapaw, the Chickasaw, the Illinois and the Proud Cherokee. With all these we sought peace The tomahawk was buried and the smoke from the pipe of peace floated up ward and the people of my tribe joined hands with the people of your tribe to do battle with a savage enemy. But your people broke faith, and uniting with the enemy, they made war upon the paleface. You demolished his houses, burned his fields. butchered his children, bring ing alike on my people and on yours, his mighty wrath"
 Because" answered the chief, they first burned our towns, took our women to be slaves, brought to

Long, long ago all belonged to the Cherokee. mightiest of tribes. The pale-face tried to drive him from the hunting ground Of his fathers as a chief drives a dog
 The Cherokee hung the whitefaoe scalp on his lodge as a trophy. Then the pale face cried for a treaty. At Telico my fathers took payment for their hunting grounds, signed treaty and started for new nation. On the banks of the Ten-neh-seh as they hunted and fished with their faces toward the land of the Setting Sun, a great boat with pale-faces came, The pale-faee had beads coiored like a butterfly wing, paint red as blood for the warriors cheek, and strange glass which showed back chief to The pale-face also had firewater.

NOT A MIRACLE. Just Plain Cause and Effect.

There are some quite remafEao| things happening every day, Whld seem almost miraculous.
 Some persons would not believe th, a man could suffer from coffee drll| ing so severely as to cause spells unconsciousness. And to find compleI relief in changing from coffee to F1 tum is we'll worth recording.
 T used to be a great coffee drlnkd so much so that it was killing me inches. My heart became so weak would fall and lie unconscious TOT hour at a time. The spells eausi me sometimes two or three times day.
 My friends, and even the doctq told me it was drinking coffee ln caused the trouble I would not lieye it, and still drank coffee uhui could not leave my room.
 Then my doctor, who drinks tum himself, persuaded me to stop o fee and try Postum. After much he tation I concluded to try it. ThaI eight months ago. Since then l ha had but few of those spells, none more than four months.

manner of her nation they were wed. She was the mother of his children. The lodge of her tribe was his home. the hunting ground of her people his hunting ground. Many many moons came and went. Many, many seasons passed, Great riches came to the pale-face, who sold furs from the hunting ground of Se-hoys people Then he sailed away never to return, and the beautiful Se-hoy died of a broken heart and her chil- dren were left alone. My father, the great chief, says only people of one tribe should join blankets"
 But Se-hoy wed a pale-face." he protested. 'I am a Cherokee. A Cherokee never breaks a VOW nor deserts a woman"
 "In my nation are seven tribes. No tribe is allowed to join blankets. If then the Choctaw may not wed a Choetaw because of tribal difference, will the great chief let his daughter wed a Cherokee?" And in the maiden's tone there was the note of despair.
 Go again, Leh-on-et-tuh Plead, for the heart of Dar-dah-ne-leh will never more know joy till his gentle Pass ing Breeze stands in his lodge door to greet him when his hunt is ove: Plead with the chief, your father, and when the sun is in the west tomor-
