MUD CREEKS TERROR.
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt's Story OF "a
Dakota NiraEO.


To-day several newspaper men came
in to see him. among them one he had
known when he was running q ranch
out in Dakota. The conversation
naturally driGted to the Iynching OF
Queen Kate and Mr.. Roosevelt
laughed as he said; Il met her once,
and | didn't attempt any foolishuess
while I was there. In my most polite
manner I greeted her as madam, and
observed the utmost pOlitencss while
was in her presence. You couldn't
fool with her, and She at that time
wasn't such a bad woman after all.
But there was a woman up on Third
Mud creek who was a second Kate
after her fashion.
"She was small, but, O my! she had
husband about her own size, but he
hadn't the nerve, and She ruled the
house. They had kid, TOO; not their
own child, but yOungster they had
picked up and adopted. Mrs. - q
dare not mention her name because she
is living yeD made fine buckskin
shirts, and one day | rode over to have
one made. AS soon as | reached the
house | saw that there had been fam
ilv souall, and l acted accordingly. |
sat down on the porch and waited for
Mrs. -. She came along directly
and stumbled over my feet. Keep
those big feet out of my road, was the
command she gave, and | got them
under my chair quickly. Anyhow L
left my order for the shirt and rode
away.
Some weeks afterward | went over
after it. Instead Of the husband and
the kid | found Cherokee Jim in
stalled as the proprietor. | didn't dare
ask Mrs - what was the matter.
but pumped it out of Jim. 1t seems
that a few days before a bull-whaCke
wagon came along and stopped for
dinner. In the wagon was 4 jug OF
whisky, which the kid stole and drank
half of it. That spoke volumes for his
constitution. Then the kid started to
clean out the old man, and was abo ut
to split his head open, when he was
shot in the side, but not fatally, The
old man then cmptied the jug OF
whisky, and feeling brave, thought II
a good opportunity to assert his rights.
He took the wooden ramrod Of his
gun and started for his wife, She wait
ed till he was almost on her, and then
with one of those things you lift the
lids off stove hit him full in the face.
Then she jumped hstride the proStrate
form, took it by the ears, and banged
his head against the floor till he was
reduced to a state of insensibillty; all
this to the intense amusement OF the
bullwhackers who were watching her
through the window. She then picked
up the body and threw it through the
window. The old man lifted the kid
and the empty bottles into the wagon
and drove off tell you, those women
have to be treated with respect"

HOT WATER TREATMENT,
Its Beneficial Results outlined by Med
ical Authority.

Opinions differ as to the effect OF the
Tree ingestion of water at meal-times,
but the view generally received is prob
ably that it dilutes the gastric juice,
and so retards indigestion. Apart
from the fact that moderate delay IN
the process is by no means disad-
vantage, as Sir William Roberts has
shown in his explanation OF the
popularity Of tea and coffee, it is more
than doubtful whether any such effect
is in reality produced. When ingested
during meals, water may do good by
washing out the digested food, and by
exposing the undigested part more
thoroughly to the action OF the digest
i've ferments. Pepsin is a catalytic
body, and given quantity will work
almost indefinitely, provided the
peptones are removed as they
are formed. The good effects
of water, drunk freely before meals
have, however, another beneficial re-
sult-it washes away the mucus which
is secreted by the mucuos membrane
during the intervals Of repose, ant
favors peristalsis of the whole alimen
tary tract. The membrane thu
cleansed is in a much better condition
to receive food and convert 1t int
soluble compounds The accumula
tion of mucus is specially marked
the morning, when the gastric wall

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
I desire TO call the attention OF your
cultured readers to what ] conceive to
be An important literary discovery and
one that will be OF interest to Shaks-
pearesn scholars. The fact that Mr..
Bartlett quotes without reference to
other authorship Implies at least that
the discovery originated with the Rev.
DIR. d. +. Sprigg, who writes as follows
in the Southern Chachm0a Of April
4th:
"The homily against Contention
SAYS Now here consider that st. Paul
numbereth a solder, brawler, or a
picker of quarrels among thieves and
idolators and many times there cOmeth
less hurt Of thief than of railing
tongue, for the one taketh away a man s
good name. the other taketh but his
riches. which is of much less value and
estimation than his good name.
"yhis homily, published in 1862, as
all in book first We're, was read in the
churches. 1t is evident that Shakespeare
must have been in the church on some
occasion when this homily was read. for
it speaks the same language rs his oit-
quoted
"Who steals my purse, steols trash:
But he Who Gche3 from mo my good name
Robs me Of that which not onriches him,
But makes me poor indeed"
Who can enlighten Us on this subject ?

Old Oliver trudged down the road
from the little town on the hill, with his
fairiDg under his arm, thinking OF his
old wife sitting in her chimney corner,
and of the old days when he bought the
pretty Young farm servant her first fair
ing. In that same town and on that very
same day in May, some tive-snd-forty
wears ago. Straight before him were the
Cotswold hills, and on their slope he
could see the spire of Hightield church,
and further down and nearer YVES the
great dark mass of Truerne wood, hiding
the hamlet where be had lived all his life.
The sight of the wood made him think
of the owls, and he unconsciously quick
ened his pace, as if to make haste and
see that all was right with them as yet.
Down the long sloping road he went,
and then turning off by bridle-path,
passed through another wood-not bis,
and therefore no place for dallying in
and crossing the river by an old Hood
beaten bridge. took his way through a
wealth OF buttercups that gilded his old
boots with yellow dust, to tho further
side of the water-meadows, where his
own beloved wood came down in gentle
slopes TO the valley. Evening was
coming on and the light was sub
dued and all was quiet and peaceful
unless O nightingale broke out suddenly
in song from thicket, or the voice OF
the chiff-chsff rang out from overhead.
Over the bluebells the shadows were
lenpthening, and against their deep blue,
as ID mingled in the distance with the
blue of the sky peeping through the
branches. rose the straight and darkening
stem OF many an ancient tree. What q
change from the noise and worry and i'll
dealing and cruelty OF the fair
When he came to his own old oak he
paused and listened, but no sound was
heard but the song OF the woodwren In
the higher foliage.
"'Tis all right rs YET" he said to him

I'll get bit OF Gupper, and come and

up the ride.
Close behind was the gamekeeper,
Mr.. McNab, finding that there were no
spaniel puppies at the fair. had no
further reason 10 stay there, for hs had

parts, and did not even care TO listen TO

IL.

1t was high tide at Northstow fair.
The broad, sloping street WAS crowded
with pens of sheep aud pigs. and re-
sounded with the noises OF oppressed
animals, with the loud voices OF their
tyrants, and with the hideous braying of
the organs, which Of late years have
added new attractions TO the merry-go-
rounds. Old Oliver, soon wearied OF the
crowd and the hubbub, had bought his
wife's new shawl early, and was about 70
turn his steps homewsrd when it oc-
CURED 10 him that it would be as well,
IL circumstances were favorable, to get q
comfortable shave before leaving.
The Norihstow barber had double
shop, one window of which was deco
rated with his own wigs and perfumery,
while the other showed caps and bon
nets, aud was the domain of the milli-
ner, his wife. AS Oliver passed this lat
ter window and was about TO step into
the shop, his eye caught the wel[known
form OF an owi--a young one, perched
IA al uneasy attitude on lady's hat.
He stopped 10 look at il, and then dis
covered placsrd conspicuously placed
just underneath the bat, and bearing
the following inscription:
Wanted. ~ onco, by London arm.

The old fellow stood rooted 10 the
4 pavement spelling out this placsrd again
and again. What could il mean? and
what the owlet on tho lady's hat? As
lac fingered two men came up behind
him, and there Jared suddenly on his
senses the loud, coarse voice Of Mr.. Pog-
