TELEPHONE POPULAR
WITH THE INDIANS.
Red Men Fond OF Long Distances
Talks With Any One Who Hap
pens at the Other EnS.

The Indians are great on using the
telephone. They have but little or
no use for the local boards, their calls
being over the long distance. They
do not put in call for the individual.
They do not ask for White Eagle at
Canton or Flying Cloud at Darling
ton. The call is for ANY Cheyenne. 4"
The same is true as to the Arapahoes.
Any member of the tribe serves. says
the Dallas News.
An Indian puts in call for any
member of his tribe at Canton, Dar-
lington, Colony, Lawton or any point.
1t is up to" the manager to go out
on the street and pick up an Indian.
Any one will do. so he Is of the tribe
asked for. He is put up to the tele-
phone and the talk proceeds. The
talk being In Indian, no one knows
what 1t Is about.
II an Indian, say in Clinton, wants
to reach one of his people. say forty
miles from Canton. or any other CIV
en- point, he calls for one of his tribes
men. tells him the message he desires
delivered, and II Is his business TO de-
liver 1t, even though 1t requires q
night trip and in storm.
A little Indian baby died near
Clinton last year. and Its mother de-
sired that her relatives attend the
funeral services. They lived out on
the prairie northwest from Canton.
The telephone was used and mem
ber OF the tribe directed to deliver
the message to the mothers relatives.
1t was delivered by courier across
the prairies and canyons. and the rel
atives came in over the Orient next
day.
Last summer call came to Clin-
ton for Kiowa that was poser for
the manager. However. he found
upon inquiry among the Cheyennes
that there was one who had lived
among the Kiowas and spoke the
dialect. He was put up to the tele-
phone and received the talk.

A Dream,

had peculiar dream last night.
l dreamed that / saw Jesus. | did
not see Him as Daniel did, coming
with "the clouds of Heaven" nor as
stephen saw Him, Standing on the
right hand of Cod" | dwelt upon
His coming glory in my sermons last
Sunday; but In my dream last night
l saw no royal throne, no angelic at
tendants. 1t was not the Christ tri-
umphant that l saw in my dream,
but what seemed to be a prisoner;
and yet that prisoner was Jesus. He
was sick and lying on a sort of cot
His eyes were closed, and from His
lips groans were escaping as though
He were suffering. | looked on His
up-turned face as He lay there. So
pure 1t was stopped over and kissed
Him.
When ! awoke these words came
to me: "Inasmuch as ye have done
IT unto one of the least of these NV
brethren, ye have done it unto Me-"
and these words also: "I was sick
and in prison and ye visited Me-"
And the negative side of the question
came to me also "Inasmuch as We
did it not and "ye visited Me
not" l do not think / slept much
after that, but kept running these
things over in my mind.
1t was dream, and yet some
dreams have a lesson in them, and
this was one; and may never forget
the lesson that it taught "Inasmuch
as ye have done 1t unto one of the
least of these My brethren, ye have
done it unto Me-"
We may not see Jesus sick and in
prison as l saw Him in my dream;
and yet to some He will say when He
sits upon the throne of His glory:
81 was an hungered and ye gave Me
meat; l was a stranger and ye took
Me in; naked and ye clothed Me;
was sick and ye visited Me; I was in
prison and ye came unto Me-"
Yes, "the Son of man shall come
in His glory" but while we wait for
that glad day let us not forget that
there are those to whom we may min.
lister. And If we could but feel that
in ministering even unto the least
of these My brethren" we minister
unto Him. how willingly would the
service be rendered. and how often
would the heart overflow with Joy
at the thought Of doing something
for Him.-Linden j. Carter, In
Worlds Crisis.

Fearfulness In securty-Mark 4.
35-41.

Fearfulness in security-Mark q
35-4f.
The fearfulness in security OF a
Christian is due to lack of practical
faith In the reality of the presence O,
Jesus Christ in the individual life. In
our pralseworthy efforts to be doing
something for the glory of the king
dom we lose sight of some OF its
spiritual relationships and possibilii
ties. The roar and din which we are
creating In handling the finished pro.
duct makes us forget the quiet, force.
ful power that inspires us to the very
task at hand. Then, of a sudden. In
the stress of our toll, comes a mo.
ment when all of our surroundings
grow strange, things thought harmless
appear as dangers, there loom up on
every side impossibilities and disour-
agements, and, like the storm tossed
lake mariners of old, fear takes hold
of us.
Our fearfulness may be due not so
much to lack of saving faith as to lack
of keeping faith or spiritual grasp.
The spiritual ought to be as vital and
real to us as the material. The per.
'DA'N@A ~sNBN'iNhNC vi lIt lOl SlNtutSS vi
sin, which comes to every follower OF
Jesus Christ, ought to be the grip that
makes our hold on spiritual things un-
shakable.
There are many of us who are dis.
ciples of Jesus Christ who have an un.
mistakable faith in our salvation. but
who never learn that this salvation is
the beginning Of new life that de.
velops forever.
We know the glow and earncstness
or new Presence in our life. but do
not fully understand that this Pres.
ence is ready to serve us day by day.
In song and joyous testimony we give
witness to the coming of the Savior
into our life, but fail to grasp the fact
that this is the event that gives ac
cess to God and IA part in the spiritual
character of our Lord and Master.
Perhaps ours is the shore exper.
ience. We hear the parallels of the
Master, we learn the secret of the
Kingdoms growth, we rejoice in the
many CONSIDERATIONS possible for the
cxuberant life of youth, but we fail to
recognize the working power of what
we hear and learn.

WHEN THE TIDE COMES In.

The boats lay. stranded on the beach,
Tangled with seaweed, dank and green,
:. desolate and dreary scene,
Far as the eye could reach;
The tide waU out.
How changed the view when day was done,
The. boats rode gaily OH the deep.
;, Their, white sails nodding as in sleep,
Kissed by the setting sun;
The tide was in.
Thus many life, in want or woe.
Lies stranded on barren shore;
But God is God for evermore;
Take courage; for we know
The tide comes in.
And lifted from the rocks and shoals
We. sail upon sunlit sea,
Night opens on eternity
Sweet rest for weary souls
The tide is in.

A Maine Papers Comments.

1t Is strange that men should be.
lieve that they can stop the progress
of omnipotent and eternal good.
Human thought swings back and
forth like pendulum, but unlike
the pendulum 1t does not measure
exact distances with both strokes.
Its backward stroke never goes quite
as far back as the last one went,
and its forward stroke goes forward
little farther with each swing
than 1t went before. This is due to
the influence of the principle which
works constantly for good among
men. 1t is not probable that the
progress now being made toward the
elimination of the liquor traffic will
be maintained at the rate it is going
now. We are reaching the hours in
human history when the forward
stroke of the pendulum is taking US
into the very best days the world
has ever seen in its effort to rid It.
self of the greatest evil with which
humanity has to contend. 1t fol.
lows. since human thought vacci-
lates, that there will he a retrograde
swing. but the pendulum will never
go back to the time when the saloon
predominated in all our affairs, and
the tools of the traffic we're the
chosen servants of the public. And
when again the forward stroke
comes we may be sure it will mark
still greater distance than that
registered to-day. The parasites up-
on our civilization. who spend their

Herald Blasts.

If we love man as God would have
us TO do, our conduct toward them
will be Just what God would have
it to be.
The man who would please God is
on the wrong track when he shuts
himself up in a cell and puts on a
hair shirt.
The business of the Christian in
this world is not simply to keep II
from becoming worse, but to help
make 1t better.
1t does not require great ability to
do great things. The poor widow
with two mites gave more than the
rich.
The man who asks God for his
daily bread will not get II with butter
on 1t unless he will do his best to

Dean Farrar on the Judgments OF GOD


1t Is customary to quote Farrar as
the great exponent of the larger hope,
in spite of all that he has said about
the wrath and anger of God against
sin. Before his death. however, 1t is
said that he gave utterance to the fol-
lowing remarks in the presence Of
the Cambridge Students:
SIS there, then, no hell here, that
we can be so very certain there will
be none hereafter? Nay, seeing that
indignation and wrath. tribulation
and anguish fall upon every soul OF
man that doeth evil; seeing that the
Scriptures from the beginning to end
and whole books of them, blaze like
the walls of BelshazZer's palace with
messages of doom; seeing that God
declared His wrath against sin as
clearly as though He had engraven II
in the sun or written 1t in the stars
upon the midnight sky - this pre-
sumptuous ease about the after life,
this growing Indifference to the
thoughts of the future punishment,
this philosophy, which is so treacher.
Gus and so timid, seems to me, and
say 1t deliberately, at once an aberra-
tion of the intellect and an infatua-
tion of the will.
'Ah, better. surely, that sinner
should tremble with agony, as the
leaves of the aspen shudder in the
late autumnal wind. than that he
should thus falsely presume that he
knows more of God than God Himself
has taught him. and seeing, that
wrath is written in Scriptures against
his way of life, should hope that 1t is
not wrath, but mercy. and so rush
upon the bosses of the Almightys
buckler as the wild horse rushes into
battle. Rev. T. NJ. Fottergell, in
the Expositor.

WISCONSIN IN THE LEAD

Wisconsin and Iowa have taken the lead
in exposing the impositions upon the far
mer in the matter of prepared Foods"
and Cattle fatteners" and in many cases
have announced that they were not of
character to produce the results claimed
for them, were exorbitant in price and bad
in quality. The Iowa Experimental Sta
ton gave the farmer formula in bulletin
81 by which he can prepare his own stock
tonic and this may also be found in Wis
consin bulletin ISL. From this formula
Roc. Compound has been prepared. 1t
contains all the chemical properties Of
that formula but does not contain bran or
oil meal
1t must be reduced by adding two and

pounds of bran to the dollar package of

and not expensive tonic for all stock.

Druggists Are Dubious

Some of the Kansas druggists
are very much worried just now.
They have discovered something in
the Kansas prohibitory laws that
make them rather dubious about
selling anything in the way of pat
ent medicines. The prohibitory
law says that government reve-
nue. license can be taken as evil
dence that the owner of the license
is violating the prohibitory law.
The government requires that GER
tain patent medicines which con-
tain large quantities of alcohol
must not be sold by anyone unless
he has government license.
This would indicate that the
druggist was very much up against
a bad proposition. If he has a
government license to sell spirits
and the government classes many
of the patent medicines as spirits
then the druggist could be arrested
for violating the prohibitory law
and he would have to show some
good proof that he was not sell.

What is Democratic

The democrats who voted against free
lumber have
Voted to repudiate the national plat
form Of the democratic party;
Voted to encourage the destruction Of
our forests;
Voted to raise the price Of one Of the
chief necessaries Of life;
Voted to tax a material that enters
into a multitude Of industries, and thus to
place an unnecessary burden upon these
industries;
Voted to tax the people Of the whole
country for the benefit Of comparative
ly few owners Of timber lands; and
Voted to tax a majority Of their own
constituents for the benefit Of minority
Of those constituents.
To cast such vote democrat must
have arguments that have not yet been
gwen to the public and must be prepared
to present these arguments to his con-
Aituents.
The Commoner will give space (up
to two thousand words) to any demo-
cratic senator or member of congress
who desires to present an argument in
favor Of duty on lumber, provided he
will in his article answer the following
questions:
First, is a platform binding?
Second, is it wise to encourage the
devastation Of our forests?
Third, will the country as a whole be
benefited by tariff on lumber, and if so,
how?
Fourth, how many Of his constituents
produce lumber as compared with the
number of his constituents who use lum-
Der?
Fifth, will he give the names of the
men who have by letter or in person
urged him to vote for the tariff on lum-
Der?
The Commoner also invites brief let
tiers from constituents who either approve
Of or condemn the votes cast by their
democratic senators CT congressman.
The Commoner believes that the demo-
cratic senators and members Of congress
who voted against free lumber have
greatly embarrassed The democratic party,
greatly strengthened the republican party,
and grievously wronged their constituents.
But it is the desire Of The Commoner to
do justice to all, and it thus offers space
to both sides that the readers may Judge
for themselves after reading the argu-
ments presented.-Commoner.
