FOREST CITY. Will J. McConnell will be In the For est City Opera house every night this week and next Sunday afternoon and night. YUKON INDIANS. Good-Natured and Patient in Their Sad Environment. From Forest und Stream. The Indians on the Yukon are good natured and harmless. In many ways they remind one of the southern negro. They sing "My Girl's a High Born Lady" and all the latest Bowery airs. It is said that the British drumbeat sounds arouncl the world, but nowa days popular songs do the same thing, and In a much more thorough way. At Guam, our new possession in the. La drones, the newspapers tell us the na tives sing "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-aye," and this air Is often heard alonir the Yukon. No doubt It has penetrated to TImbuctoo nnd the sacred city of Thi bet. Judging from the Yukon, native music seems to be dying out. The catchy airs of the music hall are sup plying a world music. The Indians have keen cars, though their voices can hardly be called melo dious. Some of them will catch an air after hearing It once, and reproduce It correctly by humming or on the mouth organ. I never heard an Indian whistle or sing at tho full extent of his luifgs, though likely they do both. Give an Indian a mouth organ, "Juice harp," ns Huckleberry Finn's negro had it, or an accordion, and you will Insure his happiness, no matter It ho Is cold or starving. Tho Indian 1s ns yet Ignorant of tho banjo, but when he is once Introduced to it I think It will bo his favorite Instrument, ns It Is with his sable brother. It must be borne In mind that I am speaking of the In terior Indians. The coast Indians are a different breed. They aro fighters nnd quarrelsome, robbing tho white man by exorbitant packing charges now that they have learned it isn't wise to do the thing by force of arms. It was these Indians who. by right of their possession of' the passes, made tho Interior an unknown country for so long to the- white man. Up to a re cent date they effectually monopolized the trade of the ukon. They even checkmated the Hudson Bay company when It attempted to gaf.i an entrance Into the country from the east, captur ing and burning tho post established at Fort SelHrk in 1532. These Indians are powerfully built, and a twelve-year-old girl will trudge along with as heavy a p.vk as tho average white man can carry, whllo their skookum packers carry as much as a horse. Indians nro not particular about the condition of their food, and will dis pose of soma pretty rank messes, but one thing they will not eat Is wolf. More mrprlFlng still, if true, is the reported fact that Indian dogs will not eat wolf. These dogs rob white men's caches, tearing open sacks and gorging on raw Hour ami oatmeal, and nothing from sonp to sulphwpfjinatches Is safe from their depredations. Want ing to dispose of the cnrrussi's of the wolves we killed below Selkirk, I nsktd tho Indians If they could use thein. They tald nn. I suggested feeding to the dogs, nnd they shook their heads again. "Dag no muck much wolf," they f,ald. "Tedder way. wolf muck miick dog." Wh.n the tlmo comes for starving, the Indian takes It as 11 mutter of fact, and contentedly. Only once In n while Is there a wenk-livered one who cries and says: 'Muck muck all gone. 'Frald poor Indian will die." They peal the bark from pine and even pop ple trees and eat the softer Inner por tion. Tho pine bark Is full of rosin and nasty stuff, and there Is certainly no nutriment In It. It serves, however, to tilt the stomach and lesren the gnawing at the Inwards. Ono can travel for miles along the Yukon nnd never bo out of sight of peeled trees, marked with the characteristic arrow shaped blaze. The fact signified the frequency of nerlods of stnrvutlon, for there nro . a few hundred Indians In nil on (ho whole Ienfl of the up per river. Eating Against Time THfi PICTURE DICKENS DREW OF AMERICANS AT TABLE. It Is ft long time since "Martin Chtiz zlewlt" stirred up Yankee Indignation. We nro beginning to admit that tho "thriving City of Eden" might have been located In more states than one, and that Jefferson Brick and Elijah Pogram havo "fretted their hour upon the stage" under many aliases, which failed to conceal their Identity. But however wo might deny tho general fidelity of Dickens' sketches of Amer ican llfo and character, wo cannot deny that his picture of tho American nt his meals, minus the touch of car icature which Is tho only emphasis of humor, Is almost as accurate today as It was when tho greut author penned his novel. Hero Is the picture ns Dickens palnt- ed it: Murtln C'huzzlewlt hua Just landed, He has presented his cred entials and met several "prominent citizens.' In company with tuo of these he is leisurely walking down the street, engaged In conversation. Sud denly the clanging of a bell Is heard and the estimable citizens start off ut break-neck speed In the direction ot the sound. Other people are seen run ning In the same direction, Martin conjectures that It Is a lire and quick ens hlu step. Around the corner he comes on a brawny negro ringing u bell with great industry and sees a crowd lighting their way through a narrow door eager to reach the dinner table. Martin finds, by the courtesy of tho colonel, a seat turned down for him and he watches the scene In amazement. Everybody scrambling, bolting and gulping as If life depend ed on swallowing nil the food possible in the most Indigestible condition. "The poultry flew as rapidly as If every bird had the use of Its wings and had Mown In desperation down a human throat. The oysteis slid by seotes Into the mouths of the assem bly. The sharpest pickles vanished ltko sugar plums. Great heaps of In digestible matter melted away as Ice before the sun. It was a solemn and awful thing to see dyspeptic Individ uals bolting food In wedges: feeding not themselves but brood ot night mares. Spare men with lank nnd ri gid cheeks ennio out unsatisfied from the destruction of heavy dishes and glared with watchful eyes upon the pastry," Ot course this Is caricature. But it is caricature which impresses on us that we eat too much and too rapidly. Thut we eat -without regard to thp fitneso of our fond for tho nourishment of the body. That we over-load the stomach, crush the digestive and nu tritive organs under a burden they cannot carry, and recruit the ranks of that great army of men and women who are victims of "stomach trouble." The sanitariums are full of such peo ple. The springs nnd baths In this country and Europe are largely sup ported by them. They are tormented day and night and are constanct vic tims of quackery In their struggle to escapn their torment. America Is known today as a dyspeptic nation, it it bo true, as crusty old Dr. Aber nethy used to say, that the llrst place to look for tho cause of disease un der ordinary conditions Is In the stom ach, how much more true must that statement be under the extraordinary conditions when a man abuses his utomach as he would abuse a beast ot burden, when he scalds it at one mo ment and freezes It tho next, stuffs It and starves It at tho same time, Irritates It with condiments, sluices It with nil kinds ot llulds and loads It with substances of as little food value as wood puip? That Is the actual condition of things which Dr. Pierce undertook to cope with when he prepared his "Golden Medical Discovery" for discards ot the stomach nnd organs ot digestion and nutrition. The theory that "diseases which miginato In .the stomach must bo cured through the "stomach" was tho fundamental theory on which Dr. lierco wojked, nnd In n practice ot more than thirty years, cures of di sease in heart, head, lungs, liver, nerves and other organs, by tho curo of tho diseased condition of tho diges tive nnd nutrltlvo system, havo abun dantly demonstrated tho soundness of the Doctor's theory and the perfection of tho remedy he prepared to meet the required conditions. These cures can be numbered by hundreds of thousands nnd tho beneficiaries of Dr. Plerco's skill are found In every walk of life. As tin Illustration of these state ments and claims, tako the case of Mr. John L. Coughenour, of Glensavnge, Somerset county, Pa. Ho writes; "I had been doctoring and using pat ent medicines for about a year nnd a half, being unablo to work most of the time. Tho doctor said I had heart di sease nnd Indigestion. I began with a choking and oppressed feeling In tho chest; later on I was troubled with a hungry feeling, and I seemed to be raw from my throat clear down Into my stomach. My appetlta was unus ually poor, nnd I was weak and ner vous as though I had been starved out for months. My heart kept throbbing continually and I was short of breath. Finally I wroto to you for advice and you Informed mo that I had Indiges tion and a torpid Hvor. I did not think your diagnosis wns right, but I ordered I six bottles of 'Golden Medical Dig- covery' from you nnd began Its use. After using thrco bottles I began to lmprovo slowly and soon went to work nnd I have been working ever since," Similar cases could bo multiplied. It Is noticeable that In almost nil theso cases, resort has been had to Doctor Pierce's treatment nfter other medi cines hnd failed to give relief and doc tors' fees had been paid In vnln. "It Is with pleasure that I tell you what Dr. Pierce's 'Golden Medical Discovery' nnd 'Pellets' have dono for me," writes Mrs. T. M. Palmer, of Peede, Kaufman Co., Texas, "Two years ago I was taken with stomach and bowel trouble. Everything I ate would put mo In distress. I lived two weeks on milk and even that gave mo pain. I felt ns though I would starve to death. Three doc tors attended me one said I had dy spepsla, two said catarrh of the stom ach and bowels. They nttended me (one nt a time) for one yenr. I stop ped tnklng their medicine nnd tried other medicine; but I got no better, and I grew so weak and nervous my heart would (luttcr. I could not do any kind of work. Now I can do my house-work very well, am gaining In flesh and strength and can eat any thing I wunt." The symptoms of disease vary with different people. A great many times as in the case of Mr. Coughenour given nbove, Dr. Pierce's diagnosis does not seem to agree with the symptoms the patient feels any more than It agrees with the diagnosis of the local physi cians. But the event justifies tho judgment of Dr. Pierce and ninety eight per cent, of those who give "Gol den Medical Discovery" a fair and faithful trial are perfectly and per manently cured. "Golden Medical Discovery" Is not n cure-all. It is medicine specially prepared to cure all diseases ot the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition. It cures many forms ot di sease seemingly remote from the stomach because these ailments have their origin in a diseased condition of the stomach, and because diseases originating In the stomach aro cured through the stomach. There Is no whiskey, or alcohol in any form In tho "Discovery" and It contains no opium, cocaine, or other nurcotlc. It does not give the body the false strength of a stimulant, but the real strength of a nourishment. The weight Invariably gained by those who use It Is all sound flesh and firm muscle, and not flabby flesh and un healthy fa.t Sick people suffering with chronic forms of disease nre invited to con sult Dr. Pierce by letter, free of charge. All correspondence Is treat ed ns strictly private and absolutely confidential, and all answers are mailed in plain envelopes bearing on them no advertising or other printing. Ad dress Dr. R. V.
