.tor. lVorenzo F. Sleeper is very
well known to the citizens of Apple-
,ton, Me., and neighborhood. He
says: " Eight years ago I was taken
i," sick, and suffered as no one but a
' ' dyspeptic can. I then began tak
" fag August Flower. At that time
"I was a great sufferer. Every
" thing I ate distressed me so that I
"had to throw it up. Then in a
" few moments that horrid distress
" would come on and I would have
"to eat and suffer
"again. I took a
"little of your med-
"iciue, and felt much
"better, and after
" takinga little more
" August Flower my
"Dyspepsia disap
peared, and since that time I
" have never had the first sign of it.
"lean eat anything without the
" least fear of distress. I wish all
"that are afflicted with that terrible
" disease or the troubles caused by
"it would try August Flower, as I
"am satisfied there is no medicine
"equal to it"

T. M. Buffljigton, president of tho
Cborokeo senato, and C. C. Boudlnot,
ncpliow of Colonel K. C. Boudlnot, tho
famous Cliprol.-eo Btatcsuian.iiavo rooms
ot tho National.
Mr. Bufllnaton attracted no little at
tention In tho lobby of that hostelry by
his magnificent physique, standing
about 0 feot 4 inches in height, and
weighing closo to 200 pounds. Mr.
Boudlnot, whilo not as tall as hia friend,
is a magnificent representative of the
Cherokee race, standing fully sis feot,
and weighing about 180. Tho two
gentlemen aro not full blooded, but
very light, tho parents of each beiup
half white.
Thoy aro in tho capital as tho repre
sentatives of tho Cherokco tribo to ratify
tho salo of tho Cherokee strip to the gov
ernment. Tho land sold compromises
022,000,000 acres and tho pi ice ngrepd
upon by the contracting parties is$1.42J$
per acre. This will make thtt Chero
kecs, who number about ilO.O'JO, tht
richest nation or raco of pr i lu in tho
world. Tho 0..ago tribe coiue next in
wealth, as the money they h tvo depoi
ited with tho government for lh" sale of
lands gives thorn an interest of jG2.r0
per capita eaeh quarter.
"Few people in tho states re.Uizo thiw
wo havo a little world practically among
ourselves," said Mr. Boudinot, "but we
have ono of tho most complete govern
ments in existence. Our limd is the
most fcrtilo, and wo raise all tho grains
of tho west, and In thosouthein portions
wo raise cotton and tobacco. Wo re
coivo about $150,000 interest fi am the
federal government, and with that wo
support ours. Wo havo our own con
gross, tho house of representatives hav
ing forty members, and our senate, of
which Mr. Bufllngton is president, eight
con. Our laws aro all printed in both
English and Cherokco. Wo havo had n
written codo of laws for sovtnty years,
and also an imperfect system wi itton in
1808. Wo havo our judiciary, composed
of minor courts as well as district and
supremo. All proceedings, howover,
aro carried on in tho English language
"Tho Cherokee is tho most civilized of
all tho Indians. Wo have always been
farmors, and havo had tho government
in our debt instead of them supporting
us. Tho Cherokees originally were
found in east Tonnessee, North Caro
lina and northern Georgia by Do Soto,'
who mentions them, Our traditions,
howover, toll us that. Wo had 81,000
acres of land given us then, which wo
sold back in 1838. In 1817 a largo part
of our peoplo left and went to Arkansas.
Eventually all went thoro and finally
succeeded in uniting onco moro on our
present reservation in 1838. In 1807 wo
adopted tho Shawnoes, and in 1803 tho
Delawares.
"Wo today own land in Alabama,
about 12,000 acres, and other lauds in
Arkansas. Wo sold tho Oklahoma strip
homo fow years ngo, and have also sold
tho outlet of 022,000,000 acres for$1.42
tho acre to tho government, which con"
tract wo aro now hero to ratify. Wo

Why tho IIrbs Ihl Not Hutch.
Sinco ho visited tho last poultry show
in Now York, Andrew Morodith, f
Cornwall-ou-tho-Iludsou, has boon im
pressed with tho idea that his hens havo
boon wasting their tlnio iu hatching out
ordinary farmyard eggs. IIo wanted to
improvo his brood of fewl: so about a
mouth ago ho purchased a Getting of
Langshiins for four dollars from a Buf
falo dealer, and placed thorn uiitlor an
"old reliable" Plymouth Itock hen. IIo
sot her iu n room over his barn and al
lowed nobody to disturb her. After tho
hen had sat for ucni ly a month with tho
dogged porsovoranco of hor kind, with
out any results, Mr. Morodith began to
entertain dark suspicions about tho pro
bity of tho Buffalo limn, and yesterday
ho lifted then hen from hor nest to ex
amine tho eggu.
IIo was hhocked to find a largo black
sniiko coiled among a lot of broken shells.
The roplilo was half torpid. It hud
oaten all the eggs, and tho hen had sat
upon It, probably, for at least a fort
night, and kept it warm and comfort
ablo whilo it digosted its food. After
Mr. Meredith hud killed it she wanted
to sit on its deud body. Exchange.
A Church Ntrlkr-s Dili
"The best paying church I !:hotv ot is
probably a little country church in
Washington county, Pa.," said A. L.
Butledgo, of Pittsburg. "It's a Presby
terian church and i nc.ir McDonald.
Two years ago McDonald was a milk
itation. Passing by there on a train all
ono could seo wore a few hundred milk
:ans on tho station platform and tho lit
tlo church on tho hillside, with Its little
parsonage alongside Well, oil and coal
and natural gas were discovered around
McDonald, and today there is an ideal
oil town there, with miners' camps scat
tered about.
"Productive? Why, oil wells were
struck that flowed IW.OOO barrels a day
There was no tankago big enough to
hold the supply nnd the oil was allowed
to nin down tho hillside aud into the
streams. Outsiders banked up the creeks
and Fcoopcd enough oil out of tho dams
thoy mado to net them $100 n day, car
rying tho oil away by the bucketful.
Natural gas? Why, tho pressure was so
strong that tho greatest difliculty was
experienced in boring the oil wells. Tho
gas" fonned a cushion that it was abso
lutely Impossiblo in somo cases to drive
tho augers through.
"Derricks wero put up all about tho
little church. Tho pastor did not enjoy
any iucreaso of salary aud tho church
incomo did not grow until somo of tho
enterprising ciders conceived a brilliant
idea and carried it out. Thoy bored for
oil on tho church lot and thoy sti tick
It struck it rich. At first tho oil pour
ed out at tho rate of 1,000 barrels a day.
Tho society grew rich, of course, and
the incomo is still flowing in smooth as
oil, nnd tho little church on the hillside
is ono of tho wealthiest religious organi
zations in tho state." Chicago Tribune.

Walter Fowoll witnessed a novel fight
between a gopher snako and a kingbird.
Tho contest wiii fought to u finish in tho
road near tho creamery. Tho snako was
a largo ono and capable of swallowing
his feathered opponent with euso, but
tho bird was too notivo for him and
cnnio out winner, Tho bird would
hover over tho snako but a foot or two
nliovo its head, and would strike it on the
head from time to time, tho snako all

unable to do so ou account of Us

A Whirlwind In Kensington Garden.
On a recent Sunday afternoon a curi
ous phenomenon was witnessed by those
persons who rero walking iu Kensing
ton Gardens. A rough, grating sound
suddenly filled tho air. It appeared to
como from tho north side of tho par):,
and thoso who looked in that direction
in order to discover its cause saw an
Unmenso column, a uozen leet or more
in diameter and nearly a hundred feet
in height, rapidly approaching them.
It was a genuine whirlwind on a small
scale. The column appeared to consist
of sand, gravel, dust, leaves of trees and
twigs of wood, and it approached with
a centrifugal motion. As it swept on
ward it was seen to bo quite opaque,
any object which it passed being hidden
from viow.
An unfortunate lady who was in the
Broad Walk In Kensington gardens sud
denly found herself caught in tho grasp
of tho strange monster. Peoplo at a
short distanco from her lost sight of her
for a momont, and then she became vis
iblo again, but it was seen that her dress
was flying wildly in tho air, nnd that
sho herself was positivoly revolving just

nately no damage was done. London

A bird, tho body of which was about
tho sizo of that of a quail, whoso plu
mago was of "changeablo black" chang
ing from black to green and blue and
purple; whoso beak was an inch in
length, pointed with yellow and based in
scarlet, and over which was a bony disk
of blue; whoso tail was tho length of
that of tho mocking bird, and whose
legs wore long aud slouder liko thoso of
tho snipe altogether a strange bird for
this section of country, was given Pros

Baker, of Concord Settlement, Satur

Elliott got it, but after it was placed in
a cage that night it beat itself almost to
death against its prison burs, and on
Sunday it died. It was probably a

In tho matter of food many dog
owners mako grovioua errors nnd aro
therefore remiss in their duty. I
think the rule of a light breakfast
about 8 in tho morning and a good
dinner at fi is a good ono, but wo
should novor neglect to give somo
mashed greens twice or thrice a
week, nor forget that chango does
good. An occasional dinner of well
boiled ti-ipo is a great treat to almost
any dog, so is n bit of liver lightly
boiled. As to bones, young dogs may
havo safo ones, but old dogs aro bet

must do instead. Dr. Gordon Stables

of a tree, its head erected, its fangs
ready to striko and its entire attitude
betokening defiance to tho Rhode Island
militia, the legislature and tho commit
tees thereof. I
"Forward I forward!" called General
Dennis, who was iu tho rear, but thoso
in tho van declined to budge an inch.
Tho reptilo gave a wnming hiss and its
gaping jaws closed with a stitfKcstive
snap. Its sinuous body advanced to a
higher limb, and again its crost was
erected to do battlo. It gave a spring
to another branch, nnd tho head Of tho
column wavered; a moment more and it
would havo broken, but just then Sen
ator Titus Andrews, who had been gath
ering a bouquet of mushrooms, camo up
and sized up the situation.
"Back, back!" exclaimed thoso who
had recovered speech, and who were
fearful of losing a valuable senator.
"For what?"" "Tho snake, the snake!"
they cried. "Oh, yes, I seo him. Why.
tho varmint. Any of you want him?"
He spoke as though he would pass tho
reptilo to any ono short of a snake. Col
nel Phetteplnce was sorry ho hadn't his
sword, nnd Colonel Forsyth regretted
that ho was without a gun. "Tut. tut!"
exclaimed tho yeoman senator from
Smithfield, and passing beneath tho
snako seized it by tho tail just as Cap
tain Forsyth aimed a blow at it with a
sapling.
"I will show you a littlo trick," ob
served General Kendall, lifting tho
dead snake by the tail. "Seo me snap
his head off." He snapped tho snake as
one would snap a whip, but tho trick
did not work. The shock revived tho
snake and the trick was not renewed.

A Bottomless l'ot.
An East Side dealer in New York was
lately made tho object of a swindlo that
was rather novel and original. A tnid
dlo aged woman came into his store one
day carrying on her arm a large basket,
in which was a pot with a lid. Slio
placed the basket on the floor, made
numorous purchases, had her bill count
ed up, and then carefully put all her
articles into the pot 'and replaced the
iid with tho greatest caution. Sho next
asked permission of the store keeper to
leave the articles in his care, as sho
wished to do a littlo more chopping in
the neighborhood, promising to return
in the course of an hour.
This request was willingly acceded to,
and lifting tho pot out of the basket she
carriod it carefully to a corner, where
it would bo out of tho way, set it down,
and again slipping tho basket under hor
arm, left the store, after profusely
thanking the man for his kindness.
Hours went by, but the woman failed
to call for her precious pot. At lust
when closing time came, a salesman
went over to the corner for the purpose
of placing the earthen waro in a safer
place, and quickly discovered that, liko
a certain locality to which sinners aro
supposod to be consigned after death it
was bottomless. Tho more mention of
a pot is now sufficient reason to cause
tho victimized dealor to go into convul
sions. House Furnishing Uoview.

a Chinaman came in. and. ou being m

door occupied one minute, and the price
obtained was two dollars. They are
