The red men who remained in (Jcorgia In the beginning of tills century de clared that the swamp was enchanted ground; that within the Mist morass were islands inhabited by a peculiar race of Indians who did no evil, and who were protected by beautiful winged women. It was the land of peace. Io hunter could ecr reach these is lands. When his boat entered the riv ers which penetrated the swnmp, tho shores vanished nnd rcapjicared. Hying before him until, despairing, starving pud henrt.slck, he died, and added an other shade to the ghostly multitude of the plaee. In Union county, in the same state, Is n mountain which also was held by the Indiniis to be enchanted. Upon the top most peak is a rocky plateau, in which, f0 years ago, as local historians assert, were to be found the tracks of 'lniiual and human feet deeply indented in tho rock. There were nearly yoo of these footprints, of every size, from that of a baby to a gigantic mark 17 inches in length. The Indian legend was that there had once been a great Hood, in which all living creatures had perished except one family, who escaped in n large canoe and found refuge on this peak. They assertod, also, that whenever a hunter succeeded in climbing the moun tain and reaching the top. heavy rain fell. The Oreat Spirit wept, remember ing the destruction of so many living creatures. Jiodern civilization, railways, manu factories and newspapers are rapidly destroying such traditions and super stitions as tlie.se which were familiarto our forefathers. It is worth our while to preserve them, for they have initio. They furnish a clew to the past history and religion of the Indian. In the legends we havejii'-t quoted aro ague remembrances of the Hood and of a promised Heaven. Nothing is useless which shows that, red or white or black, we are children of one Father.

Three times the jury dis agreed, and neither judge nor conn Eel believed that the present occupants of the box would come to any under standing. The jury Hied out and the parties interested in the ease prepared themselves for a long wait. What was their surprise wheii, ten minutes after retiring, the jury signified its readiness to announce a verdict. When the vi.'r dict had been given and the excitement somewhat quieted down the judge turned to the jury. "Gentlemen," he lemarketL "this may be an unprecedented act on my part, but I want to express to you my appie eiation of the willingness with which you came to an agreement. When T re member that three prev ions juries spent at least six days in determining'- that they couldn't harmonize, the prompt ness with which ,ou agreed stands out in most agreeable contrast." "We didn't have any tumble about agreeing," said the smiling foieman, and his 11 confreies smiled with him, "as soon as o established one point-, your honor."

Our I's are just as strong as they were fifty years ago, when we have cause to use them. But we have less and less cause to praise ourselves, since others do the praising-, and we are more than willing for you to see us through other eyes. This is how we look to S. F. Loyce, whole sale and retail druggist, Duluth, Minn., who after a quarter of a century of observation writes: " I have sold Ayer's Sarsaparilla for more than 25 years, both at wholesale and retail, and have never heard any thing but words of praise from my customers ; not a single complaint has ever reached me. I believe Ayer's Sar saparilla to be the best blood purifier that has been intro duced to the general public." This, from a man who has sold thousands of dozens of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, is strong testimony. But it only echoes popular sentiment the world over, which has Nothing but words of praise for Ayer's Sarsaparilla." Any doubt about It ? Send for the " Curcbcok." It kills doubts nnd cured doubters.
