AN HONEST INDIAN.
A MnnHhir i'\»»<• i !< nr<* With
lah. n < hi«*f of thr < 'row *.
Ar.i; i.'h, chivf of the Crow Indians,
was n man of wontb rful influence. In
•‘Boiinoville'a Adventures” an incident
i-< related showing his method of re- ‘
► training the evil propensities of his
braves. Mr. Robert Campbell, while a
guest in tlni lodge of Arapooish, had
collected a large quantity of furs anti, j
fearful of being plundered, had deposit
ed but a part in the lodge. The rest he
Inried.
One night Arapooish entered the
lodge with a cloudy brow and, turning
to Campbel), said:
. |
you have brought to 1 I
“I have,” replied Campbell.
‘‘Where are they ?”
Campbell described the place.
“ ’Tis well, ” said Arapooish. “You
speak straight. But your cache has been
robbed. Go and see bow many skins
have been taken.”
Campbell examined the cache and
estimated his lo ss to be about 100 bea
ver skins.
Arapooi.-b summoned bis people, re
proached them for robbing a guest and
commanded that file skins should bo
brought back. For himself, he would
not eat or drink till all had been re
stored.
Soon the skins began to come in.
! They were laid down in the lodge, and
those who brought them departed with
out a word. Arapooish sat in one cor
ner silent. Above a hundred pelts were
brought in, and Campbell expressed
himself satisfied. Not so the (.'row chief
tain. He fasted all night. In the morn
ing more skins were brought in, and
one and two at a time they continued to
come through the day.
“Is all right now demanded Ara
pooish.
“All is right,” replied Campbell.
“Good! Now bring me meat and I
drink,” said the old chief.
WORRY.
VI bn< Fills Foolish, Enervating Hab
it Does I'or .Mankind.
Worry is forethought gone to seed.
I Worry is discounting possible future
* sorrows so that the individual may
I have pr -ent misery. Worry is the fa
| thi.r of insomnia. Worry is the traitor
i in our camp that dampens our powder,
I weakens our aim. Under the guise of
! helpii .; v.-- to bear the present and to
[ be ready for the future worry multi
i plies enemies within our mind to sap
I our strength.
j Worry is the dominance of the mind
I by a single, vague, restlrss, unsatisfied,
I fearing and fearful idea. The mental
energy and force that should be concen
trated <>n the successive duties of the
day is con-tantly and surreptitiously
abstracted and absorbed by this one fix
ed idea. The full, rich strength of the
I unconscious working of the mind, that
I which produces our best success, that
I represents our finest activity, is tapped,
i led away and wasted on worry.
Worry must not lie confused with
| anxiety, though both words agree in
I meaning originally, a “choking,” ora
| “strangling.” referring, of course, to
I the thr< tiling effect upon individual
j activity. Anxiety laces large issues of
' life seriously, calmly, with dignity.
! Anxiety always suggests hopeful possi
I bility ; it is active in being ready and
' devising measures to meet tin 1 outcome.
Worry i- not one large individual sor

THE CAUSE OF
DYSPEPSIA.
Lois of Vitality Known to be the Parent of this Oread
Disease -The Method of Cure thd Has
Proved Most Successful.
l-'rom Iho Republican, Scranton,
The niout common of all human ailments
is deranged digestion: the most aggravating
disease, inherited by man, dyspepsia. In
sidious in its nature, varied in its forms it
tortures its victims, baffles the skill of phy
sicians and the power of medicine.
The primary cause of dyspepsia is lack of
vitality; the absence of nerve force; the loss
of the life-sustaining elements of the blood.
It is a truism that no organ can properly
perform its function when the source of
nutriment fails; when it is weakened on one
hand and over-taxed on the other. When
the stomach is robbed of the nourishment
demanded by nature, assimilation ceases un
natural gases are generated, the entire sys
tem responds to the discord.
A practical illustration of the symptoms
and torture of dyspepsia is furnished by the
case or Joseph T. Vandyke, 4-10 Hickory St.,
Scranton. Ta.
In telling his story Mr. Vandyke says:
“Five years ago, I was afflicted with a
trouble of the stomach, which was very
aggravating. I had no appetite, could not
enjoy royeelf at nny time, and especially
was the trouble severe when I awoke in tbe
morning. 1 did not know what the ailment
waa, but it became steadily worse and I xvas
in constant misery.
“I called in my family physician, and he
diagnosed the cnse as catarrh of the stomach.
He prescribed for me and I had Ids prescrip
tion filled. I took nearly all of the medi
cine, but still the trouble became worse,
and I felt that roy condition was hopeless.
My friends recommended various proprie
tary remedies, some of them among tbe best

in the market, but I tried .everal of them
without receiving benefit. After 1 had been
suffering several months, and had secured
no relief from any of the many remedies
which I had taken, a friend of mine, by the
name of Thoma. Campbel), also a resident
of this city, urged me to try Dr. Williams'
f Pink Pills for Pale People. I told him it
i would be a useless waste of money to buy
them, as I was convinced that nothing could
do me any good.
f “I was finally persuaded to buy a box
i and began to use the pills according to
i directions. Before I had taken the second
t box I began to feel relieved, and after taking
• a few more boxes I considered myself re-
■ stored to health. The pills gave me new
life, strength, ambition and happiness.”
i An unfailing specific is found in Dr. Wil-
• Hams’ Pink Pills for Pale People for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis,
' St. Vitus’dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma
tism, nervous headache, the after effect of la
i grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and
■ sallow complexions, that tired feeling result
t ing from nervous prostration, all diseases re-
■ suiting from vitiated humors in the blood,
i such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They
t are also a specific for troubles peculiar to
i females, such as suppressions, irregularities
and all forms of weakness. In men they effect
• a radical cure in all cases arising from mental
. worry, overwork or excesses of whatever
- nature. These pills are manufactured by the
■ Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady,
N. Y., and are sold only in boxes bearing the
! firm’s’trade-mark and wrapper at 50 cents a
- box or six boxes for $2.50, and are never sold
t in bulk. They may be had of all druggists.
LAND POOR.
A Scheme to Give Every Man a
Farm, by a Person Who is
Land Poor. i
Mi:. Editor : Some years ago I took an
idea that land was the safest investment
that a man could make in Georgia, and as
a consequence, I am now land poor; have
more than I can profitably make use of r
and consequently want to get rid of some,
or all of it, and I have decided to adopt
tbe following measure to get rid of it:
I will say, in the first place, that the
land is the best in Monroe county, is fine
ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat
tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best lor
cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains
in the county. There are a number of
tenant houses on the place, and a home
recently built that cost me over $3,000 to
build. The land, in the first place, cost
me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying
altogether,about $lO per acre, without
improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will
average the whole place at $lO per acre,
in the following way : I will have the
entire place, I,GOO acres, sub-divided into
50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more
than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and
less than 50 to another, according to bis
ability to pay for it, as the case may be,
the entire quantity to ba drawn for.
In other words, tbe number of lots and
quantity of land to be put in a bat or box,
and drawn out under approval of a com
mittee of gentlemen, at some' stated time,
so that all shall haye a fair chat.ce to get a
home at a low price, and no one has a
chance of losing their m mey, or failing to
get their value, as paid, and some get a
farm at far less than cost
The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city
of some 50,000 or GO,OOO people, amt is
adapted to maiket gardening, and for
northern people who know how to work,
it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of
energetic citizens.
It is all together, and would make a fine
settlement, having tbe best of pastures,
water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is
timbered with hickory, beach, oak and
pine, and some cedar ; in fact, it is the best
* place 1 know of, and lam satisfied the ed
itor of the Call will vouch for what I
say.
1 1 would be glad to have any parties who
t mean business, to go over the plantation,
familiarize themselves with the advan-
1 tages, and communicate with me at
Barnesville, before going into the matter,
' assuring them that I mean what 1 say.
In addition to the terms offered above, I
: have concluded to make the terms of pay
ment in four annual payments without
interest, which is tantamount to putting
the price of the land very low. The
titles to the land have been in the posses
sion of one or two’ parties for years, and
have never been questioned an.l are as
good as gold.
I am not particularly wedded to this
plan of getting rid of my lands, but only
suggest the idea —any better plan would
bs thankful ly substituted.
