The Won an of IL.


This is the story of a wife who
had no heart. and of husband,
who was all heart.
The woman, Selena Branson, had
a good home in Anacostia. She had
good husband. a man who thought
nothing too good for her.
But she wasn't satisfied. She
hated the country. She wanted TO
be near the bright lights and the
gayety of the city.
So she left her husband and ran
of with another man. And here is
where she got into trouble.
The police arrested her and also
her affinity. She made no bones
about what she had done.
Your husband says he still loves
you and is willing TO forgive -ou
and take you back home" Selena
was told by the court.
Don't wanna go back to the
country" said Selena.
"Occoquan is in the country, more
so than Anacostia," the court re-
minded her. You can take your
choice. Go back to your husband
or go to jail
And would you believe it, the
woman went to Jail. Even though
her hubby earns $40 a week and
has never given her cause to quit
loving him.
The court considered her a hope.

were given six months each.

The iron cross" of the Indian was

studied the Indian cannot fail to
recognize the scientific and natural
art of the Indian, though to them it
was unknown.
ItPis hard to say whether the de-
velopment of the Indian has been re-
tarded more by the people who live
near him and who have acquired an
exaggerated conception Of his traits
and ideas, which do not coincide with
their own, or by people who live
thousand miles away and whose judg-

warped by hearsay and personal dis

| His idea of creation was sublime
He loved the earth and because it
had creative power and because it
nourished he called it by the holy
name Of mother. The very stars were
sacred and gave him lessons of a
wonderful creator. The Milky
| Way" was luminous with the souls of
| the earth people, He went to the
stars for guidance even for war, for
when the position of the star indi-
Gated war there was war.
| This child was student of nature
and right well he applied himself.
The tree, the bark, the branches con-
veyed to his eye the edge Of the
wood or the depth Of the forest. All
living things were known and under
stood. His ear was trained to almost
inaudible sounds. His nostrils vera
early taught to distinguish the scent
OF different animals. His ability to
initiate the call of wild life by direct
yocalization was so dexterous that
even the timid fawn responded to his
call.
The Indian was hospitable; the
choicest offerings Of the forest and
stream were placed before the
stranger. Had it not been for the
generosity of the Indian in furnish
ing supplies to the early settlers what
would have become Of the New Eng
land and Virginia colonies?
Then there came a race war. Let
us look for moment at the change
that came over the Indian, the result
of those white mems incredulity.
This trustfulness quickly degener-
ated and he returned with interest
every bitter assault, every injury, and
in coin of pitiless revenge, he paid
in full all accounts. "All's fair in
war" meant to the Indian just what
1t says.
The Indian had no support of pub
lie sentiment, no intermingling of
other people. Exiled as it were, he
stood unaided and alone. The lead
ers presented their affairs to the as
sembled tribe and by power of their
emotions swayed the minds and wills
Of their people into concerted action.

Grafton by A. M. Chico
Graduate of the Sherman Institute,
Southern, California

With a bit of retrospection we see
the Indian as the artist paints him,
in bright hued garments, perhaps in
his wigwam or in his native haunts,
surrounded by every element OF. his
wild untrammelled nature, embow-
cred in stolid dignity, majestic
mien and inscrutible self poise. Yes,
the artist has given us these
characteristics of the Indian, but
what of his inner life? OF what did
he think? How did he feel? What
impulse, what communism of nature
carved the deep set lines in his face?
= This no artist, no scientist can tell
you. But a silent tracery in the un-
mistakable evidence of the workings
of his mind. To gain access to his
mind was then, as it is now, a super
lative task, for this inner shrine is
shared only by a chosen few.
He found in natures phenomena
an answer to his longings. These
wierd, sublime and mysterious ele-
ments were in keeping with the sup
erstitions and traditions of his peo-
pie. Beckoned by hands unseen and
lured by voices unheard by all save
the Indian, he sat in the tabernacle
of the forest or upon the height of
some wind swept mesa, beat his TOM
tom, called upon the sun for life and
health, uttered the wild cry Of his
soul to the lightning and plead that
his devotion might bring the favor
of the gods upon his tribe.
To the Indian all signs were
symbolic. The traditions Of the
Greeks and Hebrews were no more
complicated than has ceremonies, and
yet, commonly accepted, the Indian
had no religion. This is misconcep-
tion. Every act Of his life carried
with it ceremonial functions, each dis
tinct within itself. His bath was a
sacrament. The pipe was pipe of
peace or war, and a seal for his coun-
sells.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there Is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. TIE mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kiimer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest fer
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.

great preparation send ten cents to DR..

sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper-Adv.
