Rensselaer Republican, Volume 21, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 June 1889 — An Energetic Squaw. [ARTICLE]
An Energetic Squaw.
The Bangor, Me., Commercial relates this incident: “A few days ago an Oldtown squaw went into an Oldtown dry goods Etore, where she purchased a cheap dress pattern, together with needles, thread and a thimble. After the purchase she asked to be fallowed to go into a rear room to 'sew somethin’ little,’ as she expressed it, but the room being occupied, she was told to pass up the stairs and into a vacant room. After a while a clerk softly stole up to see what she was about, but as she was seated on the floor, and busily engaged in plying a needle,he did not disturb her. In one hour she made her appearance, and, to the snrpiise of all, she wore the dress, and also a very triumphant air. JBhe said nothing, but walked off, evidently well satisfied with herself and her raiment.” Promising opens the eyes of expectation. We promise that if any housekeeper will use Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder for lightening and raising her biscuits, cakes and breads, she will find that no other article of its kind will produce such nice results. There is no powd»r stronger; none purer; none so health ful. Teat it in the oven.
