Snipea-Kinersly Drug Co. NOW THE TDliKEY FOOT. A. New Oliann That Is Worn by the Superstitious. The Rabbit's Foot, So Lone Popular, Haa Been Displaced by the Mew Mascot An Old Negro's Tulle The rabbit's foot is not in the race any longer as a charm. What has caused the downfall of btumie's hind foot as a protection against all ejvil and an assurance of perpetual good luck for its happy possessor is rather a puzzling- question and one which the fair sex and the advocates of the new fad would find it hard to explain. Per haps the late presidential campaign may have had something to do with it. Every Njne knew that the silver candi date was presented with a rabbit's foot immediately upon receiving his nom ination, and that the mascot complied with all the requirements of the case, for it was "the left hind foot of a molly cottontail, that had been killed in the full of the moon, at 12 o'clock at night in a graveyard, by a red-headed nigger." Well, the rabbit having enjoyed so great and so long a run of popularity, in the natural course of events, the time has come for him to step down and out. He has done so, and his place has been taken by one of the kings of the farmyard the lordly turkey. Fashion decrees that in order to be lucky one must wear in some manner or possess in some shape or other a turkey's claw. This fad is bo new that it has hardly reached the counters yet, except in one or two shops which pride themselves upon bringing out all the most ex clusive novelties. Of course, it will eventually become as common as the craze for rabbits' feet, but to-day it is a very difficult thing to'find a turkey's claw prepared in the proper style for a charm against bad luck. The most popular style at present is the natural claw, properly treated by a taxidermist, its shank covered by a sil ver or gold cap set with an amethyst, turquoise or the new green stone, which resembles an emerald. The tip of the nail is covered with a gold or silver cap, with a fine chain to match the cap from the shank to what one might call the wrist of the claw, and a pretty scarlet ribbon bow .with long end3 tied just below the shank. These new mascots are 30 arranged that they can be hung up as ornaments, or used as paper weights or table orna ments. In one case I saw one profusely bejeweled, which was intended for a cabinet. As dress ornaments they are, so far, but little used, though I was told they were being fashioned into clasps for fastening golf capes at the neck. . I asked an old colored man if he had ever heard of the turkey's claw as be ing an unlucky or lucky charm. 'Why, yes," he replied. "Down south, where I come from, it is better and luckier to steaT your Thanksgivin' or Christmas turkey. I don't hold with the fashion of stealing anything, but if you can only steal your turkey jor the holiday dinner you will have good luck all the rest of the year. In the old ays the 'massa' would put away a lot of tur keys, and the darkies would go in the night, just at 12 o'clock, and steal the birds." "But what about the claw? "What good luck does that bring?" "Why, bless your heart, don't you know that the turkey's foot is an aw ful lucky thing? You must take the claw after you have cleaned your tur key a stolen one, mind you dip it in salt, bury it, you better say, in a dish of salt for a whole week, and let it lie there, so that all the bits of flesh which stick to it are cleaned away, and your foot is just as sweet as a nut. Then you take it out and scrape it and clean it and polish it, until it just shines like a piece of stone. Then you put it up over your door, and no bad luck, sick ness or anything can come in during the year." "Will it keep out death?" "No, ma'am, it will not. Don't you konw sometimes death is the biggest piece of good luck that can happen to you?" "But do you know why turkey's foot Is lucky?" - "I never heard but one reason, and that was that after the devil had tempted Eve and was crawling away after getting her to eat the apple, he came across the turkey s path and the turkej lifted up his right foot and struck at his head. The blow was so hard that the devil was stunned for a moment. And that is the reason of the turkey's right foot being lucky against bad fortune." N. Y. Herald.

The .Enchanted Mesa of Now Mex ico Again Visited. i Second ' Party of ' Explorer Find Traces of Former Inhabitants of thee Elevated ' Moan-. tain Plain. The top of the Enchanted Mesa of New Mexico was at one time inhabited. It has been proved that Indian tradi tions, should not be dismissed as merely mythical after only casual explora tion. ' This has been demonstrated as the result of. the trip of F. W. Hodge, of the bureau of ethnology, Smithsonian Institution, who has just returned from an expedition to the mesa. The Enchanted Mesa of New Mexico has ex cited the interest of scientists and the daring of exploring parties. It was brought into prominence a few weeks ago by the expedition of Prof. William Libbey, of Princeton university, who took rope-throwing mortars,- huge kites, balloons and tons of "apparatus o scale this hitherto inaccessible table land. . The purpose of the investigations has been to determine whether the summit of the mesa was at one time inhabited by the prehistoric Acoma Indians. Prof. Libbey reported no evidences of early occupancy. Mr. Hodge's explorations have brought different results, however, for after scaling the mesa he spent some time on the summit, found a num ber of fragments of pottery, arrows, shell bracelets, stone axes, etc., estab lishing conclusively that the top of the mesa was'at one time the home of hu mans. Mr. Hodge was seat by the bureau of ethnology to . examine a series of ruins in western New Mexico and to attend the snake dance of the Moki Indians. . This done, he was directed to proceed to the Mesa Escanada and scale its precipitous walls in any way he saw fit. He procured an extension ladder, comprising six sections of six feet each together, with an ample sup ply of rope, and proceeded to the mesa September 3, accompanied by Maj. George H. Pradt, deputy United States surveyor at Laguna, N. M., who is fa miliar with that section; A. C. "Vroman, of Pasadena, Cal., who acted as photog rapher of the expedition; H. C. Hoyt, of Chicago, and two Laguna Indians. The mcst was determined to be 431 foefc from the western plain to the top of the highest pinnacle above the cleft, and the talus, at the base, of the cleft, 224 feet above the plain. The climb was without any serious difficulty until the party reached a great sandstone. The ladders were hauled section by sec tion to this point by means of the rones, then fitted toe-ether, and raised against the cliff. Mr. Hodge ascended to the top. and climbing-'over the slope immediately above, lashed the top of the ladder to a huge bowlder that had fallen from above and lodg-ed on the terrace some 20 feet from the summit. The ladder was then ascended by the remainder of the party and the top easily reached. The ascent consumed exactly 2 hours. The explorers had not been on the summit of the mesa five minutes be fore Maj. Pradit picked up a fragment of ancient pottery, which indicates clearly that the mesa had been visited, at any rate, m former times, and that Prof. Libbey was mistaken in his con clusions. During the afternoon and the next day Mr. Hodge examined the ground critically, while Maj. Pradt made a survey of the mesa, and Mr. Vro man secured a number of photographs. Several potsherds, two stone axes (broken), a fragment of a shell brace let and a stone arrow point were the chief evidences of , former occupancy found on the narrow storm-swept crest, but abundant potsherds, etc., were found in the talus swept down from the summit. All vestiges of the an cient trail ascending the talus and continued thence to the summit by hand and foot holes in the solid) rock, have been obliterated, but some traces of the hole remain. This verification of an Indian tradition, notable for in herent evidence of accuracy, is peculiar ly gratifying to students of anthrop ology. Prof. Libbey's ladder was discovered still lashed in place above the crevasse, Mr. Hodge's researches will arouse great interest among American ethnol ogists and archaeologists.

MAKE A TEST OF STUART'S DYS PEPSIA TABLETS. No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia. People having it think their nerves, are to blame and are surprised that they are not cared by nerve medicines. The real seat of the mischief is lost sight of. The stomach is the organ to be looked after. Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps any of the symptoms of stom ach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so ranch as in nearly every organ. In some cases the PROF. HENRY W. BECKER, A. M. heart palpitates and is irregular; inoth era the kidneys are effected ; in others the bowels are constipated, with head aches; still others are troubled with loss of flesh and appetite with accumulations of as, sour risings and heartburn. It is safe to say that Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets will cure any stomach weak ness or disease except cancer of the stomach. They cure sour stomach, gas. loss of flesh and appetite, sleeplessness, palpitation, heartburn, constipation and headache. Send for valuable little book on stom ach diseasee by addressing F. A.
