ADOPTED
Richard Wilson, . Col0red Man Of
Poplar, rlade . rlember Of
Indian Tribe.

The following speech was delivered by
Ezra Kicker. at big Indian Council held
at Poplar abou, month ago. 1t shows up
the generous nature OF the noble red man
to a man Of a totally different race who has
befriended them. This adoption carries
with it the RICH, to allotted lands the same
as to Indians of the tribe:
Ezra Kicker presents the name Of Rich
ard Wilson for adoption as member OF
the Fort Peck Indian reservation.
To the Indians in Council Assembled:
|, as member Of the Yanktonai Tribe
and as one who has rights here and the in
,erests Of the Indians a, heart. wish to pre-
sent to you the name OF Richard Wilson
for adoption as member OF the tribe. We
are known for being kind the world over
and most Of people concede that we remem-
Der those who have been kind to us. II
we are really kind and appreciate kindness
which has been shown us in the past. there
will never be a time when we can better
repay those to whom we are indebted for
acts Of kindness than now. If we let this
opportunity pass to pay some debts Of kind
ness that we owe to others. we may never
be able to pay them. Now is the time to
do Justice to those to whom we are indebt-
ed and believe that we should remember
some of the people who have always been
kind to us, and treated us kindly ont OF
pure good feeling when they expected moth

FREAK IN sEQuoIA FOREST
Tree Trunk That Has Stood for Six
teen Years Severed from Its
Base.

Out in California there is tree
trunk which has stood for the last 16
years entirely severed from It's base
says the Wide World Magazine. The
stump is is feet in diameter, and the
trunk towers rs feet in the air. This
remarkable freak is located near the
Sequoia forest reserve in Tulare coun-
ty, California, and was sawn off by
lumbermen for timber. Through some
miscalculation, when the cut was fin
ished the tree still held its position,
and dynamite was resorted to to bring
it to the ground, which accounts for
the deep cash on one side. After the
first charge of the explosive had been
ignited the tree still remained stand
ing, and it was discovered that the
entire trunk had been shattered by the
discharge and was therefore useless
for lumber. Accordingly, the work was
stopped and the giant has remained up
right, withstanding some of the Sc
verest wind storms that the state has
known, held in its natural position by
it's great weight.

The majority of property owners
Iare under the impression that spring
nme is the only painting time. But
the fall of the year offers several adj
vantages to the painter. One of the
most important is that surfaces are

frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint is applied.

The Root of Altruism.

energy are these: First, the principle
of Justice; that there is moral law
before which all men are equal, SO
that l ought to help my neighbor to
his rights. Second, the principle of
charity; that | owe infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind of man, however
unworthy or useless to the state.
Third, the principle of free will; that

Dor, and am truly disgraced if do not
do so. To this may be added the
idea of definite judgment; that is,
that the action will at some time ter
ribly matter to the helper and the

Little Sufferer In Terrible Plight.
Disease Cured by cuticura.

my six year old daughter had the
dreadful disease called hives for two
months. She became affected by play
ing with children who had it. By
scratching she caused large sores
which were irritating. Her body was
a complete sore but it was worse on
her arms and back. We employed a
physician who left medicine but 1t did
not help her and tried several RENE
dies but without avail. Seeing the
Cuticura Remedies advertised,
thought would try them. I gave her
hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap
and anointed her body with Cuticura
Ointment. The first treatment re-
lieved the itching and in a short time
the disease disappeared. Mrs. George

Where sittino Bull Was.

Doane Robinson, head of the depart

Dakota, says of Sitting Bull and the
Custer massacre: The Indians tell
me that Sitting Bull was a medicine
chief; that he was the greatest influ-
ence among the Sioux at that time by
reason of his constant agitation against
the whites, and that he did not per-
sonally engage in the fight against
Custer, but that he was back on an
elevation between the Little Big Horn
and the Big Horn making medicine. "
