From
Severe Lung Trouble

While we all know that plenty of
fresh air and good food are necessary
to persons suffering from lung trouble,
something more is needed to bring
about full health. Eckman's Alternative
is a medicine for hroat and lung
troubles, and 50 nan reports have
been received showing that 1t brought
ABOUT good results in a number of
cases which were declared hopeless,
that all sufferers who are not benefit
ting otherwise should at least tnvestt-
gate what 1t has one for others. 1t
may be the means of restoring you to
health. Investigate this easel
Madison Lake, Mimi.
"Gentlemen:-In December, 1908, and
March, 1909, ! was taken with hemor-
rhages of the lungs which confined me
several weeks, each time to my bed.
These left me very weak and I cough
ed at nights and could not sleep. My
appetite also failed me-. My doctor
advised me to go West. So, in Sept
ember, 1903, ! planned to go, but ! had
four more hemorrhages, which put me
in bed for three weeks.
In November ! started for Denver,
Colo. After my arrival | met Michael
Brody, who, upon learning of my on
dttion, urged me to take Eckman's
Alternative. In about two months / be-
gan to feel better. l kept on taking
the medicine and improved fast. In

title and sleep well. When l left Den

The Slaughter
OF TURKEYS
HOW A HUNGRY MANS DINNER
WAS PROVIDED FOR HIM BY
RAILROAD TRAIN,

Jamestown, N. D., Oct. IA short
time ago a resident of n of the
towns along the jamestown & North
ern line received what might be called
a direct answer to prayer. The citi-
zen referred to, who has a reliable APP
petite for a square meal. was driving
along the railroad track, accompanied
by a small boy in the buggy. AS they
passed a farm house near the track
they saw a large flock of turkeys sun
ming themselves on the rails. and in
the middle of the track. The big man
in the buggy said to the little man
beside him: Gee! Wouldn't one Of
those turkeys make a fine dinner. ]
wish / could get n to take homo
with me-" The boy Offered 10 try 20
catch for him, but was told not
to do 80, as the turkeys belonged to
someone else.
After proceeding down along the
track a short distance, the railroad
train came into sight, bearing rapidly
down upon the flock Of sixty or more
unsuSpeCting turkeys. The train dash
ed into the flock and there never was
such a slaughter of fowl in North Da-
kota at one time, before or since
There were turkeys in the air, tur-
keys run oyer by the wheels, turkeys
limping along the ground, and dead
turkeys on both sides Of the train,
The air was full of feathers and fly
ing turkeys. The fireman and train
zen all got a mess OF young turkeys
The man in the buggy turned back to
the cen of carnage, and the boy
picked up three dead turkeys and cap
tured two cripples, loading them into
the back Of the buggy. The train
moved on, leaving more turkeys on
the ground than h crew or passen-
gers picked UP. Pretty soon a wo-
man from the neighboring farm house
came wildly dashing down towards the
rack, crying at the loss of her flock,
The nan in the buggy turned back
md offered to return or pay for the
dead turkeys, but was told to keep
them as we'll as the %cripples, which
he did. taking the load home with him
and having a royal feast after proper
ly giving thanks for his lucky find. 1t
Is presumed that the owner of the
turkeys put in a claim to the railroad
company for the value of her birds,
and will therefore not be out anything
on account of the wholesale slaughter
Of her 1912 crop.
The crippled turkeys have about
recovered. and are being fattened for
a future banquet, at which several
guests from Jamestown are expected
to be presnt.

Courtina in Samoa.

Samoa is the island home Of fir
tation." The girls Of Samoa are noted
for beauty among Caucasian observers.
They are coquettish in an artful man
ner that would grace a female product
of, the heart of civilization. In fact,
by their gentle allurements they may
be said to AVE an aggressive part in
the courtship. A few glances and a
no less b~ewitching smile often tell VOL
umes for them. They could teach
many American girls how to win a
man without making too obvious adj
vances. They would even be equal to
the task Of popping the question in
leap ear.
In Samoa the problem of courtship
often hinges on the number of mats
which the girl car produce. These in
clude the main part Of her dowry.
Unless a girl can get these mats she
has as little chance to be considered
as has a poor girl to wed a title.
But a young man must prove him
self worthy of all these mats, and this
he does by being tatooed, which is a
long and painful operation. though a
man of courage can always endure
pain for the girl he loves. But all this
splendid decoration does not win him
the girl, for 1t is her parents that lie
must court. AS soon as a girls par
ents see that he is in earnest the fam
ny, ana II necessary all the relatives,
get toether and begin the important
work of collecting fine mats and native
cloth.
But the young man must bear his
part of the burden by getting together
pigs, canoes, a home, etc. If he has
not this wealth he asks his family
and his relatives to assist him. If the
families have wealth and social po-
sition the wedding always takes place
in. In open place surrounded by fruit
trees. 1t is often wondered why SO
much stress is laid on being married
under fruit trees.
Even among those primitive people
one comes upon a love match, but
these cases are few. Al Young chief,
tall and powerfully built. with pleas
ant manners, fell In love with the niece
OF another chief and rendered pro-
posais of marriage. Her family had
no objections. but the young woman
refused to listen TO his often repeated
offers, although no means to gain her
consent were left untried. The I'M
happy man gave up his ordinary oc-

did not show up after couple of
days, inquiry was made, when it was
learned that he was missing, After
a long search his body was found in
