"They shangheid me in San Francis

The ship was a windjammer, and it
a long voyage. At Hong-kong I
pulled my hoof and went up the river
on a Chinese junk. She was captured
by the river pirates and they took me
as a prisoner. After about a month

DIR. Hartman Describes
the Phrase, Systemic Catarrh

Intentionally poisoning the whole sys-
tenn. That Is what I call systemic
cataFrh.
We hear often to-day the term auto
intoXication, which refers to a con-
dition Of the bowels. The bowels
being clogged up, they ferment and
become poisoned. The system at
sorbing the poison and carrying It
out through the kidneys. The result
is sickness, called auto intoxication.
1t is exactly this kind of thing that
happens in systemic catarrh. The
catarrhal secretions that do not
escape by the internal organs are
absorbed by the blood vessels and
carried through the system, and the
result Is systemic catarrh.
The remedy 1 believe to be Peruna,
I believe there is no remedy in the
world that has relieved so many peo-
pie as Peruna. The disease is not
always known as systemic catarrh.
Sometimes it is called dyspepsia,
sometimes prostration. Some
times it assumes the form of anemia,
and then again chronic malaria, also
walking typhoid fever.
All these conditions are fully de-
scribed by the term systemic catarrh.
1t is especially prevalent during the
typhoid season, September and Octo-
Der. I would not consider any other
remedy than Peruna in such cases as
these. Peruna is absolutely a perfect
remedy for systemic catarrh.

promptly.

WOMAN SECURED
indian Legends

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 2S.-Miss
Frances Densmore of the bureau Of
ethnology Smithsonian institution,
Washington, d. c., who has been at
Fort Yates for eve weeks past Sc
curing valuable data from the Indians
for the department, was in town yes
terday en- route to here home in Red
Wing, Mimi, where she will spend
Thanksgiving.
For several years Miss Densmore
has been identified with this depart
ment, and upon former occasions when
she has visited the Indians Of this
state. she has made numerous admir-
ing friends. She is a woma of ex-
ceptional abilities, mild and of pleas
ing presence, and her success IN her
chosen profession has earned for her
an International reputation.
Secured indian Legends.
Miss DenSmore's task for the gov
eminent is that of securing from the
Indians their legends and songs and
recording them for the enlighten-
ment and entertainment of future gen
erattons. In this work she has been
very successful. One book recording
her labors has been published by the
government, and a second is now in
press, while she is now preparing a
third. The first two deal with the
Chippewas and the third which is now
in course of preparation, will deal with
the Sioux.
Was Adopted by Sioux Chief.
Miss Densmore was exceptionally
fortunate in being adopted about a
ago by one of the Sioux chiefs,
taking the place of a daughter who
had died. This is an exceptional ex-
perienCe for a white woman, and she
has hnpnrnp tho idol IF tho frihn TTnnN
her recent trip to Fort Yates Miss
Densmore was able to gain, through
this distinction, much information of
a secret nature which she is unable to
release for the public at present, as
1t is one of the customs Of the tribe
that certain information be held for a
term before released. This sacred
pledge is being guarded jealousy by
Miss Densmore and will not be given
to the public until the proper time for
release has expired, wether it be a
few or many years.
Aside from the legends which have
been given to Miss Densmore, she has
secured on photographic record many
of the songs Of the old Indians, which
in a few years would have been lost
as the later generations are, not in
clined to perpetuate them.
Upon this trip Miss Densmore Sc
cured a number of relics. and curios-
belonging to the Sioux tribe and they
have been deposited with the state
historical society in the capitol in this
city. These are genuine and will form
a splendid nucleus around which to
form a splendid collection. Detailed
mention of these will be made later.
Goes to Minnesota Reservation.
Miss Densmore left this morning on
No. 6 for White Earth, Mimi. where
she will spend a few days gathering
Chippewa collections for the Smith
sonian museum at Washington. After
a visit at her home in Red Wing, she
will return to Washington where she
will tax up her studio work with the
bureau of ethnology, preparing her
third volume.

ANANIAS CLUBS
Big BANQUET

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 23.-The first
annual banquet of the Ananias club
was held at the Mckenzie hotel. From
numerous standpoints it was the most
satisfactory event of that kind in the
history of the city.
More than a hundred guests as
sembled in response to Invitations
sent out by Col. Ben g. Whitehead,
editor of The State. He is the writer
of the famous Ananias club articles.
and there was much interest in the
occasion because numerous people de-
sired to see what a real Ananias BAN
quet was like,
In some way the story had reach
ed other portions of the state stimuli
taneously that the banquet was post
poned, and this .interferred with many
parties who had intended coming.
The dining room was decorated in
pink carnations. The affair was most
democratic. 1t was the good fellow

Great Northern railway, was brought
t. Minot suffering from a fracture of
