drinking of ginger affect the personal ap-
pearance of man as whisky does?"
Il whisky drinking makes mans face
red. Ginger drinking makes it pale, as
the ginger draws the blood away from the
surface to the center of the body. I've
watched these ginger drinkers closely and
I've studied them a good deal. I've
learned that habitual ginger drinker,
like morphine eater, loses su regard
for the truth and would rather lie than
tell the truth. They also become hippo
chondriacs and imagine they are effected
with every disease under the sun. One
day they'll come In with a long face de-
claring tn sy'ye got cramp collie and must
have ginger. An9ther day they'll have
heart disease and will urely die unless
they can get ginger. The next time they
have dyspepsia or rheumatism. but no
matter what they have they seem to thin
ginger the sovereign remedy, and nothing
else will do them. The trouble wish them
is the ginger drinking, for it ru.As the
digestion, inhamas the stomach, and
throws the whole system into disorder"
'Is there sny advantage in buying
ginger?"
"Ginger costs 81 pint, while whisky
sells at from so cents up. The people
who drink it, and they are numerous, both
men and womep, are for the most part
mere physical wrecks who were confirmed
drunkards when prohibition came upon
us, and their unnatural appetite must be
satisfied, SO they bought ginger as the
next best substitute for whisky. We ship
ginger by the barrel to prohibition towns,
as the old topers think il the best substi-
tute for whisky, and once they get &C.
customed to it they prefer it to whisky.

other would kill him. Then the man who
owned the dog at last spoke and proposed
that, to give each chance for his life,
they should separate. He would take
half of the handful of -four that was left
and start of to try to get home; the other
should stay where he was; and if he tried
to follow the fist, he was warned that he
would be shot without mercy. A like fate
was to be the portion Of this wanderer if
driven to return to the hut.
The arrangement was agreed to and
the two men separated, neither daring to
turn his back while they we're in rifle
shot of each Other. For two days the one
who went Off toiled on with weary weak
ness through the snow drifts. Late OF
the second afternoon as he looked back
from high ridge, he saw in the far dis
lance black speck against the snow
along on his trail. His COM
panion was DIGGING his footsteps. I'm
medlately he followed his own trail back
little bit and lay in ambush. At dusk
his companion came stealthily up, rifle
in hand, peering cautiously ahead, his
drawn face sho wing the starved, eager
ferocity of a wild beast, and the man he
was hunting shot him down exactly az if
he had been one. Leaving the body
where it had fell the wanderer continued
his journey, the dog staggering painfully
behind him.
The next evening he baked his les!
cake and divided it with the dog. In the
morning, with lis belt drawn still tighter
around his skeleton body, he once more
set out, with apparently only few hours
of dull misery between him and death.
At noon he crossed the track of huge
timber wolf; instantly the dog gave
togue and raliying it's strength ran along
the trail. The man struggled after. At
last his strength gave out and he lay
down to die; but while sitting still, slowly
stiffening with the cold, he heard the dog
baying in the woods. Shaking off his
mortal numbness he crawled toward the
sound, and found the wolf over the Iody
of a deer that ne had just killed and
keeping the dog from it. At % ap-
proach of tie new assailant the wolf
sullenly drew off and man and dog tore
the raw deer flesh with hidious eagerness.
It made them sick for the next twenty
four houcs, but lying blythe carcass for
two or three days, they recovered
strength.

"You have no idea of the annoyauces

train travelling out of the city, to Bos-
ton Courier man. "Only the other day
two statesmen entered a compartment.

the two placed pretty heavy trunk on

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
What the Convention did Thursday.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 22.-The session
this morning of the Knights of Labor
general assembly was taken up discus
sion of the SkeIIington trouble and the
report of the committee was to the effect
that he be held guilty of INSTRUMENTATION
and be suspended for one year. A pro-
longed and at times heated debate
preceded this action in which
SkeiIington and Cavanaugh led the
opposing forces, the latter taking
the ground that the action should be up
held or it would be putting premium on
insubordination. Skellington reported
his claim that his action was justified by
circumstances. Others Joined warmly in
the fight, and it was only settled after
four hours contest.
It was decided to send a representa-
tive of the order to the Paris exposition
aud then Ga hour and half of the con-
vention time was devoted to the consid-
Grafton of secret work of the order. The
finance committee, Hugh Cavanaugh,
chairman, reported that it had found the
methods of disbursing funds very loose,
bills had not been countersigned before
being paid. They further recommend
that some officer should be given the
veto power in regard to the expenditures
of money, and under such plan more
money would nov be In the treasury.
They further recommend that more
business-like measures be established,
and the report states that the re-
ductions already decided upon by the
consolidation and reduction of the officers
would foot up $4,000. The salaries will
remain the came as heretofore. Power
is given to the general secretary treasur

expenditures. By vote Of So

THE PARNELL CASE,
Resume of Test;monvTsysn

htsuWe or testimony TAKEN.
LONDON, Nov. 22.--The examination of
witnesses fiom the county Kerry was
continued at the session of the Parnell
commission to day. Mr.. Leonard, agent
of the estates of the Earl of Kenmar said
the league was as active as ever. He
thoroughly disagreed with the statement
of Mr.. balfour, chief secretary for Ire
land that the league was thing of the
past. In his part of Kerry the fight the
league was making was at its hottest.
The plan of the campaign was all power
full. Formerly writ could be executed
by the sheriff with the aid
of four policemen but now
four hundred soldiers were required.
The members OF the league met every
Sunday after attending mass to arrange
the weeks programme of rent resistance
and intimidation. Resistance came from
well-to-do people. Until within year
the tenants had been friendly but after
the league was formed they scoffed at
him and the landlord. On cross-examin-
alton the witness admitted that in 1880 il
was necessary to give tenants assistance
as some of them we're blue with hunger.
There were two thousand tenants
on the Kenmare estate, two hun
dred of whom though very poor
had always tried to pay their rents.
Since 1850 the earl of Kenmare had ex-
pended 9173,0 in the improvement of
the estate. His bill for labor now
amounted to $500 weekly, only such rents
were taken from tenants as they could
afford to give. Witness did not seek to
collect rent from persons blue with
hunger apd law was never enforced
against tenants of that class. Adjourned.

A STORM THE PRAIRIE
wild Picture of Terrible but Enhancing
Scene

Wild Picture of Terrible but Enhancing
Scene.
There is one thing beyond mans con-
troll, and the grandeur of prairie storm
can only be imagined by those who have
seen it or witnessed a storm at sea. Such
a storm swept over the prairies in August
last. The morning was warm and bright,
but shortly after noon there came an un-
definable change. The sun still shone
but its rays threw an altered light, and
brought the prairie flowers into brighter
relief, while it cast a darker shadow
where shadows fell. Away towards the
horizon the waving glimmering that cur
tanned the meeting place of the sky and
plain became more tangible, and thin
black line framed the landscape. Gradu-
ally it grew broader and higher, and as it
overlapped the bright blue sky the birds
flew hurriedly from before it and such
cattle as were in sight drew closer tOgeth-
er for protection. Gusts of wind that
shook the train followed each other at in
tervals that grew shorter and shorter, and
the frame of black was once in a while
iIlumined with flashes of summer light
ming, which, as they came nearer, threw
heavy banks of sulPhurous-looking clouds
into bold relief. Still there was no rain,
and the thunder of the train was ell that
broke the stiffness. For nearly two hours
the clouds maintained the same slow ap-
proach, and led the spectator to run
fancy free and imagine the outstretched
fingers of some great ghoul to be slowly
closing in to crush him. So strong did
the feeling become that the more ner-
vo1s passengers drew back and shudder-
ed at each succeeding gust, while others
clustered round windows and gazed,
fascinated, at the coming storm. At last
it came. One huge cloud shot out from
the approaching bank, and for a mo-
ment poised in mid-air. Fleecy clouds,
that looked CHASTITY by contrast, hung
round it like fringes on a funeral pail,
till with a crash that outweighed the roar
of the train it seemed to be rent in two
with one streak of fire that turned the en-
tire cloud into gold. From that one and
for nearly an hour it was one continuous
rumble, broken occasionally with sharp
er crash, and accompanied by the patter
of the rain that fell in torrents. Both
sheet and forked lightning played con-
tinuousIy and while the former turned
the clouds from blackness into light the
latter seemed to rend them in fragments
and stand Qua in lines of fire for seconds
at time. At last it passed away, and
the Pickering flames that illumined the
southern horizon seemed like the volley-
firing of a retreating army; but so great
was the expanse of prairie that they
were never entirely lost sight of, but
again grew more and more vivid until
eighty miles further west the storm again
crossed the track, moving northward with
diminishing force. Slowly as i. appear
ed to move, it had in five short hours ira
versed the half of circle not less than
100 miles in diameter, which would give
it rate of upwards of thirty miles an

AN AWFUL PERIL.
l Man Hunted Like Wild Animal by Can

EibaliStic Companion.
Once or twice he showed a curious re-
luctance about allowing a man to ap-
prosch MIN suddenly from behind" says
Theodore Roosevelt of ole of his trap
pers in Frontier Types in the October
Century. Altogether his actions we're SO
odd, that felt some curiosity to learn
lis history. It turned out that he had
been through a rather uncanny expert
ence the winter before. He and mother
man had gone into remote basin or ell
closed valley, in the heart of the noun
tains, where game was plentiful; indeed,
it was so abundant they decided to pass
the winter there. Accordingly they put
up a log cabin, working hard and merely
killing enough game for their immediate
use. just as it was finished winter set in
with tremendous snowstorms. Going out
to hunt, in the first lul, they found to
their CONSERVATION, that every head of
game had left the valley. Not an ami
NAL was to be found therein, they had
abandoned it for their winter hauRts.
The outlook for the two adventurers
was appalling. They were afraid of try
ing to break through the deep snow
drifts, and starvation stared them in the
face il they staid. They put themselves
on short commons, so as to use up their
-four as slowly as possible, and hunted
unwearIngly, but saw nothing. Soon
violent quarrel brose out between them.
The other man, fierce, sullen fellow, in
sisted that the dog should be killed, but
the owner vas exceedingly attached to it,
and refused. For pie of weeks they
spoke no words to each other, though
coopeo up in the little, narrow pen of
logs.
Then one night the owner of the dog
was awakened by the animal crying out,
the other man had tried to kill it with
his knife, but failed. The provisions
we're now almost exhausted, and the two
men were glazing at each other with the
rage of maddened, ravenous hunger.
Neither dared to sleep for fear that the
