The Mornina Crouch.

How do You rise in the morning?
Gloomy and sad and sour,
Or glad of the rest that was given yGu
And brave for the battle hour?
Do you rise from your couch at day
break
With a smile for your loved ones true ?
Come, tell me-, now, is a churlish frown
The best that they get from you?
Do you rise in the morning merry,
Or gloomy and cross and sad?
Do you growl and snarl at your morning
meal
Because the coffee is bad?
Don't do it, for life has troubles,
All, many, and greater, too,
For the simple things in the morning
hours
To bother a man like YOU.
Get up with a smile and whistle;
Get up with a CHEEKY word:
For a morning crouch, when you think
of it,
Ny brother, is so absurd,
Reserve your growls and your bitter words
Fol the time when a real grief frets you;
What hance have you in life's big affairs
If a trifing thing upsets you?

BILLS.

Physicians Give Free Advice ~
Which Parents May PROFIT.
It's a matter Of general interest just
now how ones physical condition can
be got into shape to best receive the
benefits of the summer season. Espe-
cally is this true OF the children. They
have become run down by a winter OF
unnatural manner OF living because OF
ill-considered food and much time
spent indoors. Spring comes with its
sunshine, It's fresh vegetables and all
else invigorating, but the children are
in no condition to receive natures
remedies.
Many parents call in the family
physician. Many other parents take
advantage OF what the physician told
them when he was first called in con-
sultation. All good family physicians
say: Give the children Castoria."
Healthy parents know this remedy OF
old, for they took 1t themselves as
children. 1t was more than thirty
years ago that Castoria made a place
for itself In the household. Ii bore
the signature OF Charles Fl. Fletcher
then, as 1t does to-day. The signature
Is its guarantee, which Is accepted In
thousands of homes where there are
children.
Much is printed nowadays about big
families. DR.. William j. McCrann, OF
Omaha, Neb., is the father OF one OF
these much-read-about families. Here
Is what he says:
"As the father of thirteen children
/ certainly know something about
your great medicine, and aside from
my own family experience I have, In
my years of practice, found Castoria
a popular and efficient remedy in al
most every home"
Charles III. Fletcher has received
hundreds of letters from prominent
physicians who have the same esteem
for Castoria that DIR. McCrann has.
Not only do these physicians say they
use Castoria In their own families,
but they prescribe 1t for their pa
preparation which assimilates the
food and regulates the stomach and
bowels. After eating comes sleeping.
and Castoria looks out for that, too.
1t allays feverishness and prevents
loss OF sleep, and this absolutely with.
out the use OF opium, morphine or
other baneful narcotic.
Medical journals are reluctant to
discuss proprietary medicines. Halls
Journal OF Health, however, says:
Our duty Is to expose danger and re-
cord the means for advancing health.
The day for poisoning innocent chill
dren through greed or ignorance
ought to end. To our knowledge Cas-.
toria is a remedy which produces com
posture and health by regulating the
system, not by supplying 1t. and our
readers are entitled 10 the inforna

There was Pi-pi-ya, a Sioux, whose

For this very dance we are watching
was borrowed less than 80 years ago
from the Sioux, 1t is the Sioux who
discovered the tom-tom, who invented
even the squaw dance.
And that squaw dance! 1t is the
Christmas of the indian. For no one
dances in the circle but those who have
given each other gifts. Men may give
TO men. women TO ONE but more
often ii is men and women. The one
who invites crosses the ring, throws the
gift at the feet of the invited, returns
TO the ring, and the other must follow;
they make q slow shifting foot move
ment about, shoulder to shoulder, some
times hip to hip, with just a suggestion
OF ancient Egyptian motion-may l say
hoochee coochee? The gifts vary from
maple sugar cakes, calico strips. hand
kerchiefs, TO shawls. blankets, quilts,
rings, pipes, bea work, rifles, even
ponies are brought into the ring and
given.

The dance is held on a high hill,
overlooking the trading post of White
Earth to the east, and overlooking the
far-stretching, housekeeping hills OF
the reservation TO IN west. A fiag
pole stand in the middle Of the ring,
carrying aloft the American flag,
where onc it was like a totem pole
that carried the Chippewa flag, a long
pennant made of eagle feathers, like
a war bonnet. About the foot of the
Flagstaff are squatted the drummers,
four, six, or eight, as the energy of the
dance demands, each with his drum
stick, the drum itself, a large six-foot
expanse. rich and low In note. Each
drummer has but one stick, for he IL
expected not only to peat the tom-tom,
but to sing, high or low as emotion de-
mands, this hi-yi-hi-yi OF the dance
song.
And you cannot believe, until you
hear il, the infinite possibilities OF the
single drum-note, of the single word
phrase.
The dance begins at 4 O'Clock in the
afternoon, lasting till shutdown. The
chiefs and the warriors gather slowly,
coming by ones n twos and threes,
from the tepees that dot the hills for
a mile and more about. bright splashes
in their gay array Of buckskin and bead
work, with many a modern color
worked into the caparison. AS they
come across the hills they are wrapped
in bright blankets, or more often, in
the very patchwork quilts which the
squaws are making as deftly as the
white grandmothers did; indeed, the
patchwork quilt fits into the picture

They are dancing yet, this very aft
