AID is SOUGHT FOR INDIANS
Catawbas of South Carolina Have Al
ways Been Friendly to the
Whites.

In South Carolina is the earliest
civilized tribe of Indians in the United
States, and they are not the wards Of
the government. These are the Ca
tawbas, and they number approximate
ly 100.
State Senator w. H. Stewart, of
South Carolina, is in Washington to
confer with the congressional delega-
ton of that state with the view of
having these Indians placed on the
same basis as all other red men, and
1t is probable that a bill will shortly
be introduced to this end.
''It is strange, perhaps, that the Ca
tawba Indians, who have been wards
of the state Of South Carolina for
many years should never have receiv-
ed any recognition from the national
government" said Senator Stewart,
"but it is a fact, nevertheless. The
Catawbas are the only American In
dams, so far as my knowledge goes,
that have always been friends of the
of a white man, and during all the
early struggles of the whites against
the Indians the Catawbas remained
true. They were in what is now South
Carolina when the first whites reach
ed that territory, and they have re-
manned there.
For a long time the Cherokees &C.
cupied the same territory. and there
was continual strife between the two
tribes, for the Cherokees were among
the most bloodthirsty tribes on this
continent. In all the struggles the Ca
tawbas took sides with the settlers
against the Cherokees. The latter In
dams massacred many of the settlers
in South Carolina.
The state government, after having
taken care of these Indians for SO
many years, now Is seeking to have
the national government make pro-
vision for them, so that they can, in
common with other Indians, have
lands lands allotted to them and be-
come American citizens, which is on
ly just and fair. '-Washington Post.

How to Overcome.

God never lost battle that'was IN
trusted completely to him; and he is
always ready to accept the entire re-
sponsibility for the conduct and the
winning OF any fight that ought to be
won. The only reason we ever lose
our battles against temptation is be-
cause we try to win them without CIV
ing God quite his own way as he
fights with us. 1t takes only a hairs
breadth diversion from Gods plan to
turn any victory into defeat. And it
takes only unconditional surrender to
God to assure us victory before 9

RECORDED QUEER Bet
LOSER PAID GUINEA A DAY FOR
THREE YEARS.
Made Wager with Clergyman Based on
Expectation of NapoIeon's Death
and Finally Was Released
From it by a Jury.

Zone of the most curious bets l
ever heard of was made in England
hundred years ago." said Angus Nc
Gregor, an attorney OF Edinburgh,
Scotland, at the Belvedere.
The wager was between knight,
who was also a member OF parlla-
ment, and clergyman, for in that
day it was not considered scandalous
for dominfes to put up their money
on sporting propositions. 1t is but
fair to the preacher, however, to say
that the other man did the banter
ing, and this was the knights s1ngu-
lar offer: That if anyone Of crowd
present would put up 100 gu1neas
(something over 5000 he would give
to such person one guinea day DUR
ing the remainder of the lifetime OF
Napoleon Bonaparte.
In making such an extraordinary
offer he evidently thought the great
Corsican had but few days to live.
Before the others in the company
could recover from the shock OF the
strange proposal, the clergyman shout
ed out that he would accept the terms
and then and there the wager or deal
was contaminated, there being wit
nesses to the act of the minister in
putting 100 guineas into the challen-
gers hands.
"a splendid bet 1t was for the rev.
erend gentleman, but miserably poor
one for the other, who had to surren-
der a guinea every day and this he
continued to do for the better part OF
three years. Along toward the close
Of 1914 the knight wearied Of his los
ing game. AS you American say, he
began to have cold feet. At first he
tried to beg off, but the parson would
not listen to his entreaties. A bet
was a bet he contended, and the fact
that he was ahead to the tune Of some
900 guineas made him not in the least
compassionate. Boney might live a
good while longer and that daily rev.
enue was very sweet.
LAS last resort the knight refused
to pay any longer, and the parson
brought suit before Judge. Eloquent
and learned counsel spoke on both
sides, but 1t must have been that the
advocate for the defendant knight pro-
duced the most convincing argument
In telling the jury why his client
should not be made to pay any longer.
in the first place. said the law
yer, his client had not in the begin
ming made the bet seriously; 1t was a
sort of ocular proposal, but once be-
ing made the proponent was too game
to back out. Secondly, it was con-
trary to public policy to give legal
sanction to such bet. Napoleon was
BritaiE's most dreaded foe and for a
British subject to have procuring
interest in prolonging the enemy's
life was horrid and untenable
thought. The jury took the same
view and freed the knight from fur

Milky Way Causes Glaciers.

Another suggested cause OF glacial
periods is that they have been due to
the shifting of the milky way, such as
is known to have occurred. Assuming
that much of the earth's heat comes
from the stars, DR.. Rudolf Spttaler
finds that the change of position in re-
lation to the milky way might have
given a different distribution OF tenn
perature from that existing at the
present time. The stars are not only
crowded in the region Of the milky
way, but many of them are of the no.
test type.

Oh Learned Judoe.

A California Judge decided that
there is no judicial authority to keep
a man from making love to his wife,
although it could stop his beating her.
The remarkable cause of this remark
able decision was that a woman in
Los Angeles had applied for an injunc-
ton to restrain her husband from in
sisting on being attentive to her. This
Judge was not Solomon, but he real.

trusted to rule upon the whims and

DISFIGURING ECZEMA CURED

My nephew first showed signs OF
eczema on the middle finger, and 1t
came out like blister. He must have
rubbed his face with that hand, as 1t
then broke out on his nose the same
way. When the blisters broke, they
shrivelled up and formed scabs. His
nose was covered with scabs, and it
was very itchy. He was badly dis
figured with unsightly scabs. At first,
his nose was sore, and 1t gradually
became worse so his mother took him
to the doctor. He told her to rub the
scabs off every day, and anoint the
affected part with the medicine he
gave her.

day for two weeks. He had the &C.
Eema for four weeks altogether, but
was getting gradually worse until they
used the Cuticura Remedies, and he
was cured in two weeks. He most
certainly would have been SCARED
