NJ I'D you ever hear the story of how
some children saved themselves
~ from wild Indians years and
years ago!
Long, long ago when our United States
was very different from the way it IS
now, fathers and mothers had to go a
long journey to buy things they needed
but could not raise on their farms.
OF course they would not go very
often, for the long hard journey back
TO the settlements took too much time.
They went on horseback, for the roads
were too rough for wagons, even if
there had been any, and when they re-
turned they carried the new supplies
in big bags from their saddles.
In one family there was little boy
of five named John, and girl of seven,
named Prudence.
One morning their father said, your
mother and ! are going to the nearest
settlement for some supplies and we
are going to leave you here, for the
Journey is too hard for you"
The children felt very proud TO know
that their father would trust them so
much-they were not bit afraid, for
if they stayed by the house they knew
no wild animals would hurt them.
There had been no Indians around for
a long time, so they did not think of
them.
All day long they worked and played
and when it began to grow dark they
went in the house and carefully locked
the doors.
The next morning they found foot
marks all around the house and as Pru-
dence was feeding the chickens she saw
an Indian peep from behind the wood
pile and another slip into the barn.
She didn't scream as she wanted to,
for she was brave little girl. Instead,
she began to plan what to do.
At last bright idea came into her
head and she ran and got her brother
and told him. Together they carried
six big pumpkins, a knife and some

When dark came they lit the candies
and then listened and watched care
fully.
1t wasn't long till two shadowy
forms crept around the house. Quick
as flash, Prudence and John held up
their lanterns and waved them about.
With shrek of terror at the unknown
lights, the Indians fed to the forest
and the children were safe.
When the father and mother got back
the next day they were very proud of
their brave children.

Valuable Advice for Butler Readers.
Many a woman endures with noble
patience the daily misery Of backache
pains about the hips, blue, nervous
spells, dizziness and urinary disor-
ders, hopeless Of relief because she
doesn't know what is the matter.
It is not true that every pain in the
back or hips is trouble peculiar to
the SEX" Often when the kidneys
get congested and inflamed, such
aches and pains follow.
You can tell it is kidney trouble il
the secretiens are dark colored, con-
tain sediment; the passages are too
frequent or scanty. Then help the
weakened kidneys. Don't expect
them to get well alone.

praise Of thousands Of women. They
