which it was written:

aBRE,R RABBIT
Indians, Not Negroes. Originated This
Famous Beastie.

6-"es@Ns
Chicago, May s.-The tales Of "0l'
Bre'r Rabbit and COP Bre'r Fox" and
other folklore yarns made famous by
Joel Chandler Harris, and supposed to
have originated with the negroes Of the
South, in reality were handed down from
the stories told BY the Indians, according
to George A. Dorsey, curator of anthro-
pology OF the Field museum.
DR.. Dorsey made public his theories
regarding folklore stories at meeting
OF the Illinois Woman's Press association
in Fullerton hall, Art institute. He was
down on the program to speak on 'The
Indian az a Reporter and Publisher"
Never having been acquainted with any
Indian reporters or publishers, DR.. Dor
sey announced that he would speak about
the literature of the Indians.
in the first place, he said, he wished
TO explode the idea that most OF Joel
Chandler HarFis's stories originated with
the negroes. Many Of the stories told
in the negro dialect. he declared, should
in reality been accredited to the Ameri-
can Indian. "As a matter Of fact" as
serted DR.. Dorsey, "the oldest and best
known Of our folklore tales can be traced
back directly 10 the Indian or Bre'r
Rabbit and or Bre'r Fox were essen.
TALLY stories typical Of the negro OF the
South, but the same stories. ethnologists
know, were told BY the Indians many
years before the negro came To this conn.,
try or heard Of the English language"

BREWER ON PEACE.
Justice Says We Do Not Want Big
Navy 70 Insure It.


Washington, May s.--The speech Of
Justice Brewer Of the United States
supreme court at the peace dinner given
in honor of Secretary of State Knox
last night is causing a good deal Of CON-
ment on account of his 'reactiomary" de-
lcaration on the subject Of the navy.
Il was late in the evening when Justice
Brewer rose to speak "We don't need
the army and navy to insure us peace
said Justice Brewer. "for we are sep
arated BY 5000 miles from any Euro
pean country, and that distance, backed
BY our tremendous wealth, would give
Us peace"
Justice Brewer declared that domestic
peace was the aim OF all nations. IF
the United States since the Spanish
American war he said, had diverted
the enormous amounts expended to build
up great navy and maintain a large
army for liqmdating our national debt
no nation in the world would think Of
attacking rs. Without a natinal debt,
and with our enormous resources at
command. the world wonld respect us
and fear to attack. Billions of dollars
have been spent in the last ten years
in building the navy and maintaining
the army Just think az this amount
being utilized to pay off the national
debt, and 1T is easy TO conceive that
there would be more likelihood Of in
ternational peace, so far as we are con-
cerned. The future Of this country will
be better and brighter when we say
goodby to the large army and navy"

Postal Employees Form a Syn

FRENCH LABOR TROUBLES
Public Sympathy and the Law Seem to
Be Against Them-Report That
Federation of Labor Is Con-
cerned.

Paris, May s.-The Congress Of Rail
road Men at secret session held yes.
terday decided to submit the question
Of a general strike to a referena am, and
appointed a permanent strike commit
tee.
Dispatches received here from Harve,
Lyons, and other cities say that the
Posts, Telegraphs and Telephones En-
ployes' association has voted in princi-
pie for a general strike.
The postman's syndicate yesterday re-
fused 70 give any further communica.
tions to the press. Like the govern
ment they have decided to keep their
plans secret. Seven of the suspended
post men viii be summoned before the
council Of discipline tomorrow and
charged with attacking the government
and parliament as public meetings and
advocating an anti-patriotic propaganda
Of utilization with the general federation
Of labor.
Both public sympathy and the lam
seem to be clearly against the Posts,
Telegraph and Telephone Employees as
sociation, which yesterday threw down
the gage Of battle to the government by
Transforming itself into a syndicate, or
union, under the laws Of 1854 This
action was calculated 10 give the asso-
citation the right 70 strike against its
the state.
Evidence aecumulates today that the
formation OF this union yesterday was
only the first step in a far-reaching
plan Of the general federation Of labor
to place the entire machinery Of the
government at its mercy.
The law Of 1884 limits unions to pro-
fessions and trades engaged in "com-
petitive industry"

Talk on the Stomach

The stomach and digestive organs
are many times the cause of sonic
disease which might have been pre-
vented II these organs had performed
their natural functions, and the great
variety Of symptoms which arise
from a disordered condition Of the
stomach and liver, cause many people
TO think that they have some awful
disease. The consequence of which
Is, that they do nothing for their
stomach, but doctor for some other
trouble. A poor acting stomach and
liver will cause headache, backache,
nervous troubles, distress after eat
ing, bloating, sour stomach, heart
pressure, insomnia, loss of flesh,
constipation and many other dis
agreeable feelings. If you are
sufferer OF any trouble and your
stomach or liver is out of order
correct these troubles first, get
the benefit OF the food you eat, and
your other troubles will many times
correct themselves. Stomach Rite,
the combined stomach and liver rem
edy has an unequaled record of
many remarkable cures to its credit,
and when you need a stomach rem
edy, get the best, a remedy that
gives results, not promises, that's
Stomach-Rite. One so cent box will
quickly convince you of the true
worth of this medicine. There is
nothing just as good, insist on
ttomaeh-Rite.
