CHASED BY WOLVES.
A Russian Merchants Fearful Exper-
fence Related by Himself.

a
The following narrative, related Dy
an old merchant named Nicolai, is the
story of his own fearful ride on the
first day of long journey to Moscow
with his wife After description of
the inevitable prelimlnarles-- the FIRST
yelp. the louder answering bowls,
and the appearance of the murderous
pack in pursuit, ais sudden aiming,
resigniag the reins to his wife-he goes
on:
The terrified horses were now in a
mad gallop, their hard painting ming
ling with the quick breathing of the
wolves, now so near that | could dis
tinctly hear it. I waited until the
foremost of them were within a few
yards of me, and then fired. The
leader of the pack rolled over upon the
snow.
Again ! discharged my weapon, and
another wolf fell. Immediately the
rest of the pack fell upon their
slaughtered comrades, and tore them
to pieces and devoured them. This
gained us a few minutes of time, but
on they came again.
Again and again | fired and killed,
and again, after every brief delay, the
wolves overlook US as before. In this
way | discharged all the barrels of my
two revolYers. st the last shot my
wife cried
I see the lights of the village, Mic
OLAF; shall soon be there. Throw out
the package"
The sledge was laden with samples;
and it was hard, / confess, to toss over
all my small bales and parcels to the
wolves. But there was no help for it,
and by the time the whole freight
was on the snow the speed of our
pursuers had been considerably check
ed.
Another encouraging cry from my
wife, who held firmly to the reins,
her eyes fixed on the village now in
sight She did not realize that I had
exhausted my last resource. No, not
quite my last

stood ready as the pack rushed on
again leaving the torn bundles on the
snow. A wolf sprang at me like an
arrow, and 1 struck him with the
knife. The blood spurted on my cheek
as | flung the dying brute from me.
Another leaped at my hand, and was
received as his fellow on the same
deadly point.
But the hard "hand-to -handn fight
ing could not last long. was nearly
exhausted by my exertions. Thrusting
out, to repel fresh attack, my hand
missed its aim, and with horrible
confusion in my head, [ sank down
ID the bottom of the sIedge, grasping
a huge wolfe by the throat I just
heard my wife's words family, as in a
dream:
I'VE are saved, Nicolai, husband !
We are saved !" and then I lost CON

I afterward learned that the vilIag-
ers, at our approach, rushed out with
guns, and the wolves fed I'm an

For centuries 1t has been contended that
cough medicine to be effective must contain
morphia, opium, or some other equally dam
gerous drug, and to-day nearly every cough
mixture in the market has for its base some
one of these deadly poisons. A purely
vegetable and at the same time effcacious
cough cure has been considered an impoe-
I sibility. The harmful and at times fatal re-
suits attending the use Of morphia and opium
cough mixtures are of common occurrence
everywhere, and in every part of the Union
deaths have, according to the testimony of
physicians and cOroners, resulted from the
use OF these dangerous preparations. 1t IS
Tor this reason that medical authorities and
leading public men speak so enthusiastically
OF the Importance and value Of the discovery
OF Red Star Cough Cure. Governor McLane
and Attorney General Roberts, Of Maryland;
Mayor Latrobe and Postmaster AdreOn, Of
Baltimore, and other well-known officials of
Federal, State and municipal governments
have publicly certified to the harmlessness
and marked efficacy of Red Star Cough Cure.
Every one will find it a safe, sure cure. 1t is
entirely free from opiates, narcotics, emetics,
and poisons. 1t leaves no bad effects.
1t does not derange the system. It
is pure, pleasant, prompt. Sold by drug
gists and dealers in medicine throughout the
United States at fifty cents bottle. THE

WE, TOO, HAVE TESTED 1T,


In view of the harmful results which so
frequently attend the use of so-called patent
or proprietary cough syrups containing NOR
phia, opium, and other equally dangerous
drugs the undersigned, physicians of Mary
land, take pleasure in endorsing the official
opinions expressed by the Commissioner of
Health of Baltimore, DIR. Samuel K. Cox,
analytical chemist, of Washington, and other
authorities, to the effect that the RED STAK
Cough CURE is not only perfectly harm
less, but at the same time an original ana
most effective remedy, and that it commends
itself alike for being entirely vegetable-free
from opiates, poIsOns, and narcotcs-and for
its prompt efficacy, as demonstrated by prac
teal tests.
