Carnegie Hero MedaL
Although awards of money have been made from the Carnegie hero fund,
there had been no distribution of medals until recently, when the commission
announced the names of recipients. The medals are all made from the same
design, which has been almost two years in making. There are three classes
ot the medals—gold, silver, and bronze—and all are made from the solid
metal. Each medal is three inches in diameter and three-sixteenths of an
inch in thickness. On one side is a likeness of Andrew Carnegie and the
date of the organization of the fund. On the reverse side is the motto,
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his
lriends,” which was selected by Mr. Carnegie.
RED MEN ON THE MOVE
BOUND FOR MEXICOWHERE THEY
WILL HAVE MORE FREEDOM.
Anticipation of Statehood for Indian
Territory and Oklahoma Causes
Uneasiness—Band Headed by
Carlisle Graduate.
Fort Worth, Tex.—Blanket 'Indians
aie on the move. During the past
week a party of them passed through
this city, headed by “Carlisle Bill,”
who seemed to be the spokesman for
the Indians. He derived his nick
name because of the fact that he is a
graduate of the Carlisle school. He
is a full-blood Cherokee and wears
the native costume.
In anticipation of both Indian Ter
ritory and Oklahoma becoming states
these Indians are uneasy and are
seeking another country. They are
going to Mexico where they say' they
can continue to live their own lives
in their own way without being both
ered by the white man under the lat
ter's civilizing influence. The Indi
ans are colonizing in Chihuahua.
The Indians were togged out in reg- |
ular redman fashion. They wore
plaited, long hair down their backs,
while their headgear consisted of
tattered hats stuck full of feathers
and gaily decorated with beads. Moc
casins were worn and their bodies
were covered with deep red blankets
of their own make. “Carlisle Bill”
spoke good English. He had with
him three squaws and one pappoose.
"Practically, all the Indians who |
have not been Americanized are going |
to Mexico to live.” said Carlisle Bill, j
“We do not care to adopt American j
customs and Mexico is the only coun- j
try we can live in in freedom. I rep
resent about 500 families of my tribe
and expect to buy from the Mexican
government from 100,000 to 200,000
acres of land in the mountains of
Chihuahua, where we will live in the
future.
"Hunting and fishing are good
there and we will have the freedom
we desire. The Indians are the rich
est people per capita in the United
States, and we are amply able to buy
our own lands. The Mexican govern
ment has guaranteed to permit us to
live as we please on the land we pur
chase. As soon as we have secured
the land I will return to the territory
and will bring all my people back
with me.”
The real “blanket” Indians are
greatly dissatisfied with the fact that
all of the Indian Territory has been
opened to white settlement. They
know it means that they must accept
the ways of the white people or be
exterminated. Mexico is offering in
ducements for them to go there. Un
der the new law the Indians have no
tribal government and can sell their
land and can go where they please,
provided they behave themselves.
Skidoo Ciub of 23 Girls.
Pittsburg, Pa.—A “Skidoo 23” club
has been organized in McKeesport,
Pa., by the Misses Gordon, Sterling
and Klingensmith. The club is com
posed of 23 women, each 23 years old.
The meeting night is the 23d of each
month. The membership of the club
will be increased every time the list
of applicants reaches 23. One purpose
of the club is to say “23” to all mar
riage proposals during the school
term, as all members are teachers.
OLDBOOKKULE
SACRED BURMESE WORK TAKEN
FROM EASTERN TEMPLE.
Given to Minnesota Man by English
Army Officer—Said to Be Over
6,000 Years Old and Worth
Small Fortune.
Fergus Falls, Minn.—In the posses
sion of E. J. Oxley, of this city, is a
Burmese book of exceeding value. It
is about 18 inches in length, and the
leaves are 2% inches in width and
much thicker than ordinary paper.
Fastened together they make a vol
ume about five inches thick. The
leaves are sections of palm leaf, paper
being unknown until centuries after
this particlar book was made, and the
characters are delicately cut into the
leaves, so that there is no such thing
as fading.
The book was given Mr. Oxley by
Sergt. Fred Stokes, of the English
army, who took it from a Burmese
temple in the English-Burman war of
25 years ago. Mr. Oxley, who is him
self an Englishman, had occasion to
visit his native land, and Sergt.
Stokes made him a present of the
book as he was returning to Amer
ica.
The sergeant had taken a small
Burmese god from the same temple,
and the temple and village were then
burned by the soldiers. Neither he
nor Mr. Oxley regarded the book as
anything more than ordinary curios
ity at the time the present was made.
The first intimation that Mr. Ox
ley had as to its real value was given
him by a Burmese lecturer to whom
he showed it a few months ago. The
man, on seeing it, bluntly told the
owner that he never came by any
such book as that honestly; that it
could not be held as private property
in Burmah, and that it was kept sa
cred and never handled except by the
higher orders of the priesthood. He
PET CAT BRINGS RICHES.
Indiana Woman Goes to Missouri to
Claim Legacy.
Knox, Ind.—Mrs. Matilda Swanson
has gone to Kansas City with a pet
cat that she will use as an exhibit to
establish her right to a legacy left by
John Lowney, who went from her to
the Missouri town several years ago.
The cat belonged to Mrs. Lowney, and
after her death her husband gave it
to Mrs. Swanson for safekeeping
while he went to Kansas City. He
never returned and Mrs. Swanson has
received a letter from a lawyer, say-,
ing Lowney had left her $500 for car
ing for the cat, but she would have toi
establish her identity and show that
she had cared for the feline.
“The old man cried when he parted:
from Tommy,” said Mrs. Swanson, in
relating the story on the eve of her
departure, “and for old time’s sake
I kept the critter ever since, though
the good Lord knows I’ve been pes
tered to death with his catching chick
ens and such as that. That was seven
years ago, and Tommy was four years
old.
“The lawyer said I would have to
prove that I was the real Mattie
Swanson and that I’d given the cat
good treatment. I guess when they
see me in the court they will know
who I am, and when they see the cat
they'll know he ain’t complainin.”
SILVEIRA LIVES AS KING.
Havana Broker Who Fled on Ship
Now Big Man in Caracas.
Caracas.—Manuel Silveira, the Hav
ana banker who fled on a cattle ship,
and who is well known here, accom
panied by his family, and bringing a
large quantity of baggage, has ar
rived here from Puerto Cabello. There
is with him also an employe named
Pino.
Silveira rented a house in a fash
ionable street and was received splen-;
didly by the powerful cattle kings.
His friends are unconscious of his
alleged defalcations. The ship Car
melina was chartered only to bring.
Silveira here and has returned to
Havana without a cargo.
He says he comes to Venezuela tem
porarily to restore his health, which,
is broken since his automobile aeci-!
dent, and declares he left his firm,
solvent, with $1,500,000 assets to
cover $700,000 owed to Ceballos &
Co. He feigns surprise at the.news
of the failure and the charges against
himself.
Our Tobacco for Italy.
Rome.—The Italian government,
which holds the tobacco monopoly,
having decided upon the experiment
of putting upon the market an enor
mous quantity of cigarettes at ten
for two cents, has ordered a large
consignment of American tobacco to
mix with the national weed. The
government also contracted this week
with the United States manufacturers
to supply a thousand railway car
riages and goods vans, out of 15,000
that Italy is now buying.

stated that it had taken at least one
man a lifetime to carve the curious
characters, and that the book was at
least 6,000 years old. He offered Mr.
Oxley $200 for it, but he had already
told him too much about it and the
offer was promptly declined. He
then offered $40, and this offer was
also declined.
The lecturer, before leaving town,

would sell for several thousand dol

Lives in an Ancient House.
_ t
Bedroom Where Rufus the Red Lay
Sick Occupied.
London.—Where is the oldest in
habited room in the world? This
question is asked by the noted writer,
Raymond Blathwayt, who thinks that
there may be chambers still used, and
mor£ ancient, than in the Deanery ol
Gloucester, where he has been stay
ing.
This house is approaching its mil
lenary, having been built by Willian
the Conqueror, and its walls are sat
urated with historical traditions.
“In my bedroom,” says Mr. Blath
wayt, “William Rufus lay in sickness
and it was in that room that
he pressed the crozier of Canterbu^j
into the unwilling hands of Archbish
op Anselin; Archbishop Laud pan
elled the lovely drawing-room; in th<
splendid study, with its dim, graj
Norman arches, have been held som<
of the great parliaments of England
and when the moonbeams stretcl
themselves across tne ancient stair
ways and passages, there can be seen
flitting restlessly to and fro the
wraith of Anne Boleyn, who, with
Bluff Harry, spent some of the early
days of her too brief honeymoon
here.”
Bells Stop Church Services.
Bradctock, Pa.—With $5,000 worth
of consecrated bells pealing and jang
ling right across the street, Rev. John
Kershaw, pastor of the Congregation
alist church, often is unable to make
his flock hear his sermon and is forced
to suspend services. The bells belong
to the Sacred Heart Polish Catholic
church, the pride of the Poles in the
Monongahela valley, for they are the
most costly and loudest. In accord
ance with the Polish customs, the
bells are rung before and after each
> mass. The Congregationalists ap
pealed to Burgess J. E Little for re
i lief, and, if be is unable to help, the
, Polish church will be taken into court
i as a nuisance.
Wireless from Honduras.
Washington.—A remarkable achieve
ment in wireless telegraphy is re
ported to the navy department from
the Pensacola station. That plant
has been able to keep in constant
communication with the United Fruit
company's steamer Preston from the
time that vessel left New York until
it arrived at Honduras. A curious
fact is that the Pensacola station has
not been able to repeat this perform
ance with any other steamer than the
Preston, notwithstanding the fact
that the plants are alike on all the
United liners.

Th» Zulu War Cry.
The Zulu war cry. used whenever
they take the field by the South Afri

puzzled our newspapers, not one of
which seems able to spell it correctly,
says Notes and Queries. The Daily
Express gives it as “Igamilzho,” and
the Daily Mail as “Gammillo.” The
cry really consists of two words, and
should be written "Igama layo.”
'Tgama” is Zulu for “name,” and
“layo" is a possessive pronoun, mean
ing either “his” or “their.” Thus the
Daily Mail, although quite wrong in
its orthography of the cry, is right in
saying that it merely means “That is
his name.” The explanation is that

Plenty More!
Russell Sage was much opposed to
drinking. He would often rail with
homely and humorous wisdom against
drink.
"Men drink,' he said one day to a
broker, "because they are happy, be
cause they are sad. because they are
too warm, because they are too cold.
Is there any logic in that? '
"When I see men drinking I think
of a little boy at the seashore.
"This little boy, at play with his
bucket and shovel in the sand, sudden
ly ran to the edge of an advancing
wave, and. scooping up a handful of
salt water and foam, drank it greed
ily.
“ ‘Oh, don’t drink that.’ said his
nurse. ‘It will make you thirsty.’
" ‘What if it does?’ said' he. ‘There’s
plenty more.’ ”
Sculptor Alleges Injustice.
Information comes from France,
where George Gray Barnard is work
‘ng on the marble groups which are
to be the chief adornment of the new
state capitol at Harrisburg, that the
sculptor has told intimate friends that
he will wreck his creations before he
will let them be taken across the
ocean without a fair compensation for
his several years of labor. He was to
have $100,000 for the work, but the
payments have been delayed. An
order to prepare replicas of his statues
for exhibition at the opening had been
nearly completed when It was coun
termanded, although Barnard had ex

Even When the Facts About Coffee
Are Plain.

It is curious how people will refuse
o believe what one can clearly see.
Tell the average man or woman
hat the slow but cumulative poison
ms effect of caffeine—the alkaloid in
:ea and coffee—tends to weaken the
heart, upset the nervous system and
j ^ause indigestion, and they may laugh
at you if they don't know the facts.
Prove it by science or by practical
demonstration in the recovery of cof
fee drinkers from the above condi
tions. and a large per cent, of the
human family will shrug their shoul
ders, take the drugs and—keep on
drinking coffee or tea.
“Coffee never agreed with me nor
with several members of our house
hold,” writes a lady. It enervates, de
presses and creates a feeling of lan
guor and heaviness. It was only by
leaving off coffee and using Postum
that we discovered the cause and care
of these ills.
“The only reason, I am sure, why
Postum is not used altogether to the
exclusion of ordinary coffee is, many
persons do not know and do not seem
willing to learn the facts and how to
prepare this nutritious beverage.
There’s only one way—according to
directions—boil it fully 15 minutes.

The Ideal Family Laxative.
is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmful
effects. It should have properties
which insure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose its effect altogether. These
properties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be
cause its ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow. We do
not believe there is a laxative on the
market that is so carefully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pills your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
a century and are for sale everywhere,
either plain or sugar-coated.
Uncanny Chinese Legend.
There are the two celebrated tow

casting of the bell in the former there
is this legend: There had been two
unsuccessful attempts and the life of
the founder was threatened in case of
a third failure. His daughter discov
ered by occult means that nothing but
the blood of a virgin mingled with
the molten metal would insure suc
cess. So at the next casting she sac
rificed her life by throwing herself -
into the molten metal, leaving only
one shoe behind. The casting was
i perfect. But when the bell was first
struck "all were horror-stricken as,
after the heavy boom of the bell,
came a low wail, as of a girl in ag
ony, distinctly saying the word ‘heish,’

they hear it, say, "There's poor Ko-ai's
