The Story of a Robust Boy.

Willie White, a boy of seven years,
has been afflicted with scrofula ever
since he was three months old. His
scalp was last year almost mass of
sores. One of his eyes was perma-
nently injured, and his jaw running
in huge sores. In September last he
commenced to take Swifts Specific
under my direction. To-day he is a
fat, squabby, robust boy. His jaw is
well, and his head is covered with
fine coat of hair. There is o little
dryness about the scalp. This is the
only sign of the terrible disease left.
His mother desires me to thank the
proprietors of Swift's Specific very
heartily, and says she is so grateful
that words cannot express it. This
is remarkable cure.

A Narrow Escape.

On one occasion Mr.. Adams imperlled
his life by attempting to cross the Poto-
mac in a small boat, accompanied by his son
John and his steward, Michael Antonine
Giusta. who had entered his service at
Amsterdam in 1914. Intending to swim
back, they had taken off nearly all of
their clothes, which were in the boat
When about half way across, gust Of
wind came sweeping down the Potomac ;
the boat filed with water, and they We're
forced to abandon it and swim for their
lives to the Virginia shore. BY taking
what garments each one had on, Antonine
managed to clothe himself decently, and
started across the bridge to Washington.
During his absence Mr.. Adams and his
son swan the river or walked to and fro on
the shore. At last, after they had been
about three hours undressed, Antonine
made his appearance with a carriage and
clothing. so they were able to return to
Washington. Mr.. Adams purchased that
day watch which he gave Antonine to
replace one which he had lost in the boat,
and he alluded to the adventure in his
journal that night as "a hCmiliatng lesson
and a solemn warning not to trifie with
danger" A few weeks later a Revolu-
tionary veteran named Shoemaker, who
had been tor 80 years clerk in the Gen
eral Post-office, went in to battle at Mr.
Adams's favorlte spot, the Sycamores. was
seized with cramp and was drowned. The
body was not recovered until the next
morning, while MIR. Adams was in the
water; but the incident did not deter him
from taking his solitary morning baths.

Romance of a Solitary Gulch.

In one of the gulches of the gold mining
district of the Divide, perhaps % miles
from Denver, stand the remains of cabin,
if few blackened and charred timbers
and a pile of stones, evidently at one time
a chimney, can be called remains. To
the miners and prospectors who pass over
the rough trail to-day the place has lone
ly and mournful look, and many specula-
tons are INDUCED in as to the history and
fate of its former occupants.
From 1858 until 1864 this wild and al
most uninhabited country was filled with
busy population, who had left comfort
able homes and loving friends in the East
in the wild pursuit of gold in these rich
diggings. In the latter year. however,
the number dwindled from several thous-
and to perhaps less than score of white
men, newer excitements having carried
the restless tide. in other directions.
Among the few who remained were two
brothers who had left their home in a
pleasant town in Illinois to make their
fortunes in these marvelously rich places.
These were Thomas and William Cole
man. who, though so closely related, were
as utterly different in disposition and man.
ner as could well be imagined. Thomas,
who was of dark and swarthy complex
ion, was always morose and disagreeable.
and generally disliked by his neighbors
William. however, with his bright. blue
eyes and sunny hair, was ever a favorite
with all. But little was known of their
previous history save that the elder was
unmarried. but that William had left a
young wife and one child in the East
1t was known also, to few, that this
marriage was continual source of conten-
ton between the two, and it was general
ly understood that the brothers had been
formerly rivals for the hand of the girl
whom William afterward married. One
day in the summer of 1864, the stage,
which was still running in that section.
brought, as IA passenger, a beautiful wO-
man to the cabin, who proved to be the
wife of William Coleman. The meeting
of the young couple was Joyous to degree,
she explaining that parents and child hav-
ing both died, she had resolved to loin
her husband, and individually share his
fortunes and hardships. Upon her arrival
Thomas went out of the house and wan
dered long distance over ridges and
through gulches, not returning till long
after dark. Just exactly what happened
alter he reached the cabin was never
known, but it is surmised that fierce
quarrel and double murder ensued, as late
that night man passing near there on
horseback, thought he heard loud and
angry words followed by two reports
from pistol, and looking back after get
ting on top of the ridge, he saw the bright
light of a conflagration. Upon reaching
the nearest settlement he reported what
he had seen. A party Of men started the
next day to investigate the matter, and
found the charred remains of the cabin,
and beneath the still smoking ruins the
burned bodies of William Coleman and
his wife Thomas Coleman was never
afterward heard of. The place today has
moulnful loneliness and silence, unbrok-
en- save by the twitter of birds by day, and
the bowling of the cayote at night.

Coleus thrive well in warm rooms, but

Pot itineraries now need ample pot room

Remember that dust is great enemy
to house plants. Throw light cloth over

sponge off the leaves occasionally.

of bloom of hardy plants, shrubs, ETC.,
next spring. Where there are ample
sized patches of hardy garden pinks, white
lilies. Dutch bulbs, ETC., or number of
any one kind of Towering shrubs, by APP
plying mulch to part of these in the
winter when the ground is deeply frozen,
for the purpose of causing it to thaw out
slowly in places next spring. difference
of more than week in favor OF lateness
may be had in the Towering of the plants
in such mulched parts. By this means, IN
stead of having the flowers of any one
kind all at once, they come over consid-
