Indian oIri,s plea.

A woman salesman for a depart
ment store recently went to the school
for Cherokee Indian girls in Tahlequah
to take measurements for their uni
forms, and here is what she told about
the girls: Those Indian girls are splen-
did specimens of womanhood. They
are all splendidly formed, blooming
with health and overlooking with good
spirits. And the eternal feminine as
serts itself as strongly among those
Pretty Indian maidens as among any
of the girls in eastern colleges with

All of them make the same plea. Every

oBsERVANT PEOPLE ARE JAP;
Trouble Is They Are Liable to Carr
1t to Extremes.

The japanese are a most initiative
and obsevant people and copy every.
thing they see with minute fidelity. A
Newport man recently engaged a
japanese valet, who was very atten-
tive and satisfactory.
His duties rarely took him into the
kitchen, but when he had chance
of watching the cook he did so with
extraordinary interest.
The cook caught a severe chill and
left somewhat suddenly. The lady
of the house was in despair, as she
could not replace her.
At last the valet announced diff
IDENTIFY that he thought he could cook a
little and the mistress gladly agreed
to give him a trial
The first thing he started on was
the potatoes. He took off his shoes
and socks and put his feet in a bath
of hot mustard and water
The lady wanted to know what on
earth he was doing He replied that
he saw the cook do that when she
was peeling the potatoes, and nothing
would persuade him that this was not
a necessary part of the process.

Enep,ies to Big Trees.

Natural influences in nearly all
parts of Block island are so unfavor-
able to tree growth that the planting
OF trees with the expectancy of having
them attain even a fair size is not
practicable, is the conclusion reached in
a report prepared by r. L. Rogers, a
special investigator connected with the
United States bureau of forestry.
Mr. Rogers says that he finds the
residents of the island so discouraged
through failure to combat successfully
the gales and salt vapor of the island
that there is no sentiment that would
guarantee a united effort for reforest-
ing the island.

Good Cough Medicine FOR Children

Good Cough Medicine FOR Children.
The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can
not be used to protect the children.
A child is much more likely TO con-
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when
he has a cold. The quicker you cure
his cold the less the risk. Chamber
lains Cough Remedy is the sole re-
lance of many mothers, and few of
those who have tried 1t are willing to
use any other. Mrs. f. f. Starcher,
of Ripley w. Va, says: 81 have
never used anything other than Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, for my chill
dren and it has always given good
satisfaction" This remedy contains
no opium or other narcotic and may
be given as confidently to a child as
to an adult. For sale by Hays G.
Field and Yellow Pine Pharmacy.

Moroccan Proverbs.

In an article on. the people of Mo-
rocco writer in Figaro says: They
have some queer adages and some
that closely resemble ours. Thus,
they say: The camel cannot see its
hump, but plainly sees one on it's
neighbor; He who depends on his
neighbor will go to bed hungry "A
wise enemy is better than a stupid
friend Cross the rushing stream,
but beware Of the quiet, noiseless

things not to be trusted-luck, women
and horses Mounting a horse, loos.

Now love makes the mind clean and
clear, so that it stops liking unclean
things like bad food and ugly squeezed
bodies and cigars. And love makes
the mind kindly, so that it does not
yearn for more than its share of other
peoples money. So in the gaining or
the maintaining of health, too. love
is the fulfilling of the law
And how about beauty? Why, beauty
is merely health--plus love. There.
fore, if you have love you have all
things, for all things are ruled by
law; love is the fulfilling of the law.
