I 1 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.

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.

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. S. B. BURR, Sr, Barnesville, Ga.
