This dreadful animal keeps to the

came to village in which one hut
had been built apart from the rest.
We inquired for the reason OF this and
found that it had been dedicated to O
witch. This witch was greatly re-
vercd.. She had been the wife OF a
/ gorilla. The woman had lived in the
village in a house which stood on the
edge OF the forest. A great tree over
hung her shanty. In the village all
the trees had been cut down rs d
precaution against the gorillas. One
night one OF these animals came out oil
the forest, got mp into the big tree
which overhurg the woman's house,
climbed down onto the roof, threw the
roof off, swung down into the hut,
seized the woman. climbed up through
the hole in the roof up in the tree and
went away into the woods. carrying
the woman with him. His great
strength made this an easy thing fol-
him to do. He could hold her in one arm
and with his two hind legs and his one
free forearm make his way up and down
trees or through the woods. The
woman was gone for many days. The
people saw that her. house roof had
been torn off. They looked carefully
around the house and saw that there
were no tracks whatever. They Their
knew that the drend enemy had car
ried her off. One day she came back,
She told wopderful story. The 60.
rilla had carried her for miles into the
woods, and finally had climbed grea,
tree and deposited her In his home.
There he treated her kindly, brought
her food and drink. but would not per.
init her to leave After watching heI
carefully for many days he finally lef,
her, probably intending to.return in a
short time, convinced that she would
remain. The woman came down to
the ground. and after wandering in
the forest for several days made her
way back to the village. The people
at first were about to kill her. but they
finally concluded that she was pos.
sessed Of extraordinary powers. They

An Abominablc Legacy.

A tendency to rheumatism is undoubtedly
Inherited. Unlike many ether legaeses, Il
remains in the family. The most effectual
means Of checking this tendency, or Of re-
moving incipient rheumatism, whether pre-
existentin the blood or not, Is to resort to
Hostetter's stomach bitters as soon as the
premonitory twinges are felt. Multiplying
the influences of cold, exposure and fatigue,
the Bitters not only fortifies the system
against their hurtful consequences, but sub
jugates malaria, liver and kidney complaint,
dyspepsia and nerve disquietude.
