INDIANS HUNGRY; NJ WORK
MANY SUFFER WANT WITH
 MONEY IN BANKS.
Unita Tribe Members Dig Up Pota- toes They Had Planted to
 Slave of Hunger.

Fruita Colo, Aug. 1.-Although hundreds of Indians on the Unita res ervation. just across the state line in Utah. have thousands of dollars in cold cash in the banks, they are prac- tically starving to death Only through an order of Secretary Fisher, ordering the Indian agent to permit them to have credit until present difficulties are adjusted will relief be permitted, and many of them have already ac- tually endured privation and want
 The annuity of $20 per capita, which usually started the Indians through the season, has not been paid through some delay in Washington, and the policy of the government to teach the Indian to cultivate the soil is likely to receive a severe setback, for the red man declines to work on an empty stomach
 The government recently sold the land of the Indians, amounting to S20O0OO, and this sum is held in the banks, but cannot be paid until word is received from Washington.
 In addition to this amount, the Ute Indians have a judgment against the government for approximately S3,- 500,000, which has been due for half a century. A bill is now pending in con- gress to pay over the money.
 Rabbit Perank was one of 12 In dians to receive 100 pounds of pota toes to plant He planted them as promised, but they didn't have time to sprout before Rabbit was again busy with the hoe and dug up every one of the potatoes to feed to his hun gry family. Rabbit has $2,400 in ons of the banks.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflarn-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and I'M
less the inflammation can be taken out
this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

is Commander
Fully $4,000 in Attendance at the
Meeting Of the Boys in
Gray.

Macon. Ca, May 10.-Gen. Bennett
H. Young. of Louisville was today

here, for the ensuing year, to succeed
Gen. c. Irvine Walker, of Charleston, ;.

ly after his election at the last reunion.
Opposed to Gen. Young in the election
were Gen. Walker and Gen. Van Zant,
of Texas, but so well We're the forces
of Gen. Young marshaled that his victo-
ry was comparatively easy. The honor
came to the Kentuckian, however, only
that a spirited campaign among the del
egates, and he was overwhelmed with
congratulations after the final vote was
announced this morning.
Gen. Young's victory came partly at
the expense of Louisville, which city
sought the next reunion of the veterans.
When it was seen that Gen. Ioung's
candidacy might be endangered IL Nvh-
lucky sought both the office of comman-
der-in-chief and the reunion of 1913,
Gen. w. b. Haldeman and others who
had charge of the campaign, for Louis
Vile decided not to place the Kentucky
metropolis in nomination for next years
reunion, and thus aided materially III
advancing Gen. Ioung's cause.
The title of honorary commander was
conferred on Gen. c. Irvine Walker, re-
firing commander of the Confederate vet.
Grams. Seven thousand veterans We're in
the parade this afternoon. Fully 60.JyO

 Great Bunch of MistIetoe in the

 eyes of four of tne party as they came out into the main cabin on their way to dinner.
 Mary and Jack stood under the mistletoe. Her face was raised to his, and he was smiling down at her as she pinned a red flower on the lapel of his coat.
 ''It couldn't be better" said the captain gleefully, as his wife took his arm.
 Look at Amelia and Arthur" was Mrs. Priscilla's happy response. "They are positively struck dumb P
 The Christmas feast was not hilarious one. Flushing Mary and puzzled Jack, indignant Amelia and irate Arthur ate silently through six courses.
 Coffee was served in the main sab in. And when the captain came to get his cup, he found his wife alone.
 'Arthur has carried Mary away for walk on the forward deck, and Amelia and Jack are aft" she an- nounced.
 And on the forward deck Arthur was demanding of Mary, who looked like the spirit of Christmas iii her big white coat, with a bit of holly i'll her buttonhole, Did he kiss you? ?"
 Mary blnshed. Her lashes dropped over her eyes. ''Why-?"
 Because nobody else has right" Arthur foundered. 'T- 1 mean-will you kiss me, Nary"
 And somewhere astern, Amelia was asking, Did you kiss her, Jack"
 Jack, rising to the occasion asked. loftily, What if l did? But-I couldn't-there are no other lips for me but yours, dear heart"
 And the captain, having made short excursions fore and aft, came back and reported to Mrs. Priscilla. "Therell be two more weddings when the Christmas ship sails into port" he said, "and now, my dear, if you'll step this way, l'll claim my privilege and kiss you under the mistletoe."

The Christmas Ship

VIRGINIA BLAIR


 Copyright 1911, by Associated Literary Press., It was not until Capt. Amos Bruce fell in love with Miss Pris- cilla Duguid that he ever thought of his fellow men. The captain had al ways been a crusty fellow, even in his youth. But underneath his crustiness there had been a sensitive soul, and, strange as it may seem. the captains failure to do good had been matter of ignorance rather than of evil intent.
 When he fell in love with Miss Priscilla everything was changed The captain, in spite of his forty-fve years, had never been in love before, and at once his head became as full of dreams as boy.
 ''I want the whole world to know how happy I am," the captain said and Miss Priscilla laughed softly, and sad, then the way to do It, IS to make the world happy"
 The captain rubbed his gray hair until it stood up like spiky crown. 'But how?" he demanded.
 "Oh, I've thought of something" :" said Priscilla. q believe our spe- cial mission is to lovers-there are so many unhappy ones."
 ''But how in the world" asked the astonished captain.
 ''Well," said Miss Priscilla, who had a mind of her own, in spite of her gentle manner, "there's Jack Dobbs, for example. He's in love with Amelia Marston, and she won't have thing to do with him, and then there's Mary Macy, who is growing thin and pale because Ar thur Green is too dense to know that

 "I'll do anything you say, Priscil- la," he said, adoringly.
 "Of course" Miss Priscilla said, doubtfully, ''there's the trouble about doing a thing of that kind at this time of the year. I'm not sure that Mary Macy is good sailor"
 The captain thought it, over.
 'Why go outside of the 6arbor, my dear?" he asked. eve can an- chor the Wanderer just inside and have house party"
 "There-I knew you'd think of something, Amos," said Miss Pris- ella.
 The captain and Miss Priscilla were married in November. They came back from their honeymoon on Christmas eve, and the next day the whole town was startled to see ship riding at anchor in the quiet harbor, with red flag flying on which in white letters was the greet ing, "A Merry Christmas"
 The four unsuspecting young people were welcomed on board by the captain and his wife.
 "It was such a jolly idea" said Jack Dobbs, ''to think of having us on your Christmas ship" and little Mary Macy glowed and sparkled as she echoed, "Oh, it was lovely idea, Captain Amos"
 ''You can thank the first mate," said the captain, waving his hand toward his radiant bride, "she's got 1t in her head that because we are happy she's got to make a lot of other people" He stopped, for his wife was winking and nodding at him.
 Ut will never do," she told him afterward, 'to have them think we are trying to marry them off. Just as sure as they suspect, they'll get self-conscious and then everything will be spoiled
 ''You don't suppose" said the cap- tain that night as he came in from walk on deck with Arthur Green, you don't suppose they'll pair off wrong, do you? Arthur seems to be taken nightly with that little Mars ton girl.
 Arthur is in love with Mary Macy" said Mrs. Priscilla decidedly. "Only he's got to be walked up to the fact, and I don't know who's go- ing to do it.''
 "You leave it to me-" said Cap tain Amos. "This ship isn't called a Christmas ship for nothing. If that little Mary Macy wants Arthur she shall have him, Priscilla. And you know when 1 say that, that I mean it. I'm a man of my word"
 The next morning the captain hung great bunch of mistletoe in the main cabin. Arthur strolled up and watched him.
 q suppose" he said, loftily. that you expect me to kiss some body under that, captain. Well, I'm not sentimental-so you needn't be setting any traps"
 The captain peered at him over the big bow of red ribbon. "You :" he questioned, "I'm not setting my traps for you. It's Jack that will jump at the chance"
 'What chance?"
 ''To kiss Mary Macy?"
 For a moment Arthur was silent. Then he asked with some effort, Do you mean to say that Jack Dobbs is in love with Mary Macy?"
 'Looks like it," said the captain.
 "But-Mary isn't in love with him. securely.
 'She isn't?" the captain demand ed. 'Why, where are your eyes, boy"
