The story is current In the Bouth
end of & young married man and his
wife who, with a three-months' baby,
went Into one of the large department
stores to buy a baby carriage. After
purchasing the carriage they decided
to put the baby Into it and walk home.
On their journey home they noticed
the people smiling as they passed.
To find the cause the husband stepped
In front of the vehicle and found the
factory label had not been r%-noved:

NO TONGUE CAN TELL
Hew I Suffered with Itching and
Bleeding Eczema Until Cured
by Cuticura.
"No tongue can tell how'I suffered
for five years with a terribly painful,
itching, and bleeding eczema, my
body and face being covered with
sores. Never In my life did I expert
enco such awful suffering, and 1
longed for death, which I felt was
near. I had tried doctors and medi
clnes without success, but my mother
insisted that I try Cuticura. I felt
better after the first bath with Cuti
cura Soap and one application of Cuti
cura Ointment, and was soon entirel)
well. (Signed) Mrs. A. Etson, Belle

OLDEST IN UNITED STATES.
Belfry of St. Peter's Church, In Ta-
coma, Washington.
The oldest belfry In the United
States and one of the oldest church
towers in the world is the spire of St
Peter's Protestant Episcopal church
in the outskirts of Tacorna.
The church supplies also what Is
perhaps the first case on record in
which a congregation selected a bel
fry and built the rest of the church
arcund it. Although the spire is
made entirely of wood, ic is now 700
years old, and will probably be stand-
ing when many comparatively new
iron and steel belfries have been
razed.
Forty years ago the pioneers of Ta-
coma organized a church society. They
selected a site for their place of wor-
ship in a fore3t of Douglas fir trees
that skirted the shore of Puget sound,
and stretched inward for many miles.
Out of these immense, shaggy-barked
trees that towered upward for 200
feet without a branch below the up-
per half, they chose one eight feet in
diameter to serve as the steeple.
When the branch bearing portion of
the tree had been cut away to pre-
vent the falling of limbs in case of a
storm, there was left a bare trunk
nearly 100 feet high. Beside It there
was built a piain little structure. The
bell was fastened to the tree and the
little church, with its enduring steeple,
was complete.
Although St. Peter's was at one time
in the heart of the village of Tacoma,
unfriendly Siwash Indians manifested
such strong disapproval of church-go-
ing pioneers that a trusty shotgun
came to be regarded as necessary to
the church service as the Bible and
hymn book.
To-day the hostile Indians have dis-
appeared, and even the city of Taco-
ma itself seems to have abandoned the
church with its ancient tower. It is
surrounded by a few little dwellings,
occupying the section of Tacoma
known as Old Town. The business
part of Tacoma Is three miles away,
but one of the buildings to which Ta-
comans point with pride when ex-
plaining the superiority of their city
over Seattle is St. Peter's church.
Beautiful Hand to Hold.
m
Old "Copperhead" in Trouble.
Moses Stannard of Madison. Conn.,
who is about 85 years old, was a de-
fendant in a civil suit in the court
of common pleas at New Haven the
other day. During the civil war he
was a "copperhead" and raised a con-
federate flag on his house In the north-
ern part of the town. The action led
(o his arrest and his Imprisonment
for a time In Fort Lafayette.
BIQ PASTURE BIDS TOO LOW
Only Five Received, and They Were
Below 26-Cent Minimum
WASHINGTON: Only five bids
were submitted at the office of the
commissioner of Indian affairs for
pasturage leases in tho Kiowa-Co
manche reservation in Oklahoma
None of these bidders will receive a
lease, for the reason that nil were be-
low the minimum limit fixed by the
interior department. That limit was
twenty-five cents per acre per year.
In consequence all the bids will be re-
jected by the secretary of the interior,
who may or may not readvertise the
pasture for rent.
Bidding seems to be slow, not only
on pasturage, but for the segregated
coal aad asphalt land leases In the
Indian Territory. April 3 was the
date fixed for receiving bids for un-
leased segregated coal lands in the
McCurtain-Massey district, Choctaw
nation. It was the fourth opening
under the rules and regulations pre-
scribed by the secretary of the In-
terior last year. All bids received at
the three previous openings were re-
jected because they were not up to
the minimum prescribed by the de-
partment, and because the bidders de-
sired the privilege of prospecting on
the lands before buying them, to as-
certain whether or not they are coal-
produclng.
The Choctaw and Chickasaw segre-
gated coal and asphalt lands were di-
vided into six districts, and bids were
received on three districts. When the
time came for proposals to be opened
on the fourth district none appeared,
and it Is probable that there will be
none for the remaining districts.
The nnleased asphalt lands are all
in the Chickasaw nation, and com-
prise about 400 acres.
COMMISSION MAKES CHOiCE
Indians Who Will Not Select Land
Must Take What Is Given Them
MUSKOGEE: The Dawes commis-
sion is sending out personal letters to
Cherokee citizens who have not filed
for allotment, requesting them to ap-
pear before the commission to file be-
fore a given date, which varies in the
different notices. If the request is
not complied with the commission will
proceed to make arbitrary allotment.
In case the applicant for allotment
cannot appear In person the commis-
sion requests him to send a complete
description of the land he wishes to
select for his allotment, so that the
commissioners may make the selec-
tion for him intelligently. The com-
mission is making every effort to com-
plete the allotment of lands in the
Cherokee nation by June 1 of this
year.
PAYMENT IN FULL
Delawares to Receive Claims, Less
$37,200 Attorney's Fees
MUSKOGEE: J. B. Shoenfelt, the
United States Indian agent, has been
designated to disburse $150,000, appro-
priated by act of congress of April 21,
1904, In full payment of all claims of
the Delaware Indians against the
government. Of this payment, $37,-
200 has been allowed for attorney's
fees, leaving to be disbursed to the
Delawares $112,800. The Indians who
are to receive a share of this money
are such Delawares as elected to pre-
serve their tribal relations, and who
entered into and carried out their
agreement with the Cherokee Indians
under the act of April 8, 18G7. The
roll for the payment is to be made up
from the records of the Dawes com-
mission, and after being approved by
the Delaware committee, is to be sub-
mitted to the department for approval,
after which It is to be returned to
the Indian agent for payment.

titioned the czar for freedom from
provincial press censorship and for

OPERATION AVOIDED
EXPERIENCE OF MISS MERKLEV
She Was Told That an Operation Wa
inevitable. How She Escaped It
When a physician tells a woman suf-
fering with ovarian or woUib trouble
that an operation is necessary, the very
thought of the knife and the operating
table strikes terror to her heart, and
our hospitals are full of women coming
for ovarian or womb operations.
JWtff/MarjJret Aferkley
There are cases where an operation
is the only resource, but when one con-
siders the great number of cases of
ovarian and womb trouble cured by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound after physicians have advised
operations, no woman should submit to
one without first trying the Vegetable
Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, ftfass., for advice, which is free.
Miss Margret Merkley of 273 Third
Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkbam:—
" Loss of strength, extreme nervousness
shooting pains through the pelvic organs,
bearing down pains and cramps compelled
me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after
mat ing an examination, said I had ovarian
trouble and ulceration and advised an opera-
tion. To this I strongly objected and decided
to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound. The ulceration quickly healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared and I am
onoe more strong, vigorous and well."
Ovarian and womb troubles are stead-
ily on the increase among women. If
the monthly periods are very painful,
or too frequent and excessive—if you
have pain or swelling low down in the
left side, bearing down pains, leucor-
rhoea, don't neglect yourself : try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
