ESKIMO BECAME AN OUTCAST
Fate of a Native of the North Who
Through Faith Turned to
Christianity.

The whole life Of the primitive Es.
kimo is governed by precedent, writes
E. w. Hawkes. in the Wide World
Although outwardly the freest and
most irresponsible being in the world,
he is in reality the slave of public
opinion and the numberless customs
and superstitions of his ancestors
The ways of his fathers are good
enough for him, and the word of the
old men and witch doctors, who treas
ure up ancient precedent like the
pharisees of old, is the standard he
lives and dies by.
For an Eskimo to break one of
these unwritten laws Is to render
himself a social outcast. Although
treated with kindness, he is no long
er reckoned as a member Of the tribe.
l we'll remember such case on the
Diomedes. A brother-in-law of the
chief had early embraced Christian
ity, being converted on trip to
Nome by one of the first missionaries
Being a very conscientious man, he
soon recognized the incompatibility
Of retaining his faith and conforming
to the worship of his people. The
spirit of the Scotch covenanters was
in his veins. He refused to go
through the usual rites of his peo-
pie, and prayed to the God Of the
white stranger at home. AS a result
he was forbidden his place in the viii
lage kos-ga Cor meeting place., where
every man has his recognized sta
tion, carefully graded according to
merit. His son was not allowed to
dance with the younger men or wit
ness any of the councils or witch
doctorings reserved for the men; his
daughters could not take part In the
annual dance of the women, nor was
any member of the tribe bold enough
to ask them in marriage. They all
married Siberian strangers and left
the old mans house desolate, but he
stuck to his faith to the last. In nv
humble opinion, he was the best
Christian I ever met. Always cheer
full. always ready to help, living
daily the faith that, was in him, he
was the only Eskimo ever saw who
was brave enough to withstand tee
witch doctor.

old People Need
A Bowel Sfin11IL1f1f
The Idenf One Is a Mid laxative
Tonic That VIII Keep fte Bosceis
Gently Active.

Healthy old age Is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition of the bow
els that great care should be taken to
see that they act regularly. The fact
is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive and
the liver does not store up the juices
that are necessary to prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eating
easily digested foods and by plenty Of
exercise, but this latter Is irksome to
most elderly people. One thing is GER
tain, that state of constipation should
always be avoided, as It is dangerous
to life and health. The best plan is
to take mild laxative as often as is
deemed necessary. But with equal GER
tainty it is suggested that cathartics,
purgatives, physics, salts and pills be
avoided, as they do but temporary good
and are SO harsh as to be shock to q
delicate system.
A much better plan and one that
thousands Of elderly people are follow
ing, Is to take gentle laxative-tonic
like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which
acts as nearly like nature as is possible.
In fact, the tendency Of this remedy
is to strengthen the stomach and bowel
muscles and so train them to act natu-
rally again, when medicines of all
kinds can usually be dispensed with.
This is the opinion Of many people Of
different ages, among them Mrs. Mary

RUSSIA'S POLICE SYSTEM.
1t Has an Assistant In Every House In
St. Petersburg.

1t Has an Assistant In Every House In
St. Petersburg.
The Russian police system is ex.
tremely complicated, for it practically
gives Russia an assistant policeman in
every house in st. Petersburg. The
landlord has a private porter or acts as
porter himself. A porter has authority
to make an arrest, and he is obliged to
rush from the house to the street at
the sound of a police whistle.
AS there is a policeman stationed at
every block. which is the limit of his
beat, and as every policeman within a
certain radius may respond with the
porters to the signal, it takes but a
few seconds to get a platoon Of uni
formed men, with almost a regiment
of porter policemen together.
Russia has also a most elaborate
system of training it's policemen, and
some time ago there was opened at
st. Petersburg a fully equipped police
mans college, designed to train men in
all the various duties Of an officer Of
the law. At this college policemen are
made familiar with the tools used by
criminals, their teachers holding that
they cannot become proficient police
men in any other way.
The Russian policeman attends lee
lures at which burglars methods and
instruments are explained. so that he
can checkmate them. while he has the
advantage Of the criminal museum.
which is attached to the college. There
every appurtenance known to the
breaker Of the law must be expert
mented with until its every use is thor
oughly understood.-London Tit-Bits.

How in the world can the Edinburg
Tribune, or any other weekly newspaper,
expect to always find things fit
into Its somewhat twisted view of what
is best? The acquittal of Anderson in
the Washourn murder case and the
sentence imposed upon the publishers OF
Jim Jam Jems, last week called forth a
mixing up of law, scripture and an abuse
of all the modern languages at a great
rate and all to no purpose. Viewing
our new state laws which became ef-
fective July LIST, the Tribune in the same
issue editorially undertakes to declare
that just at the present time there is
more personal liberty in Russia than
there is right here in North Dakota, and
winds-up by referring to our law max
ers as a parcel of jackassas. The poor
trouble maker of the Tribune will hardly
succeed IN making others look at things
from his cross.eyed point of view.
