Their Only Medicine Chest.

William W. B. Miller, Deerlodge, Montana,
writes:
Il have been using Brandreth's Pills for the
last thirteen years, and though have had nine
children I have never had a doctor in the
house, except three times when we had
epidemic of scarlet fever, which we soon BAN
ished by vigorous use of Brandreth's Pills. 1
have used them for myself, two or three a
night for a month, for liver complaint, dyspep-
sia and constipation. In diarrhga, cramps,
wind collie, indigestion, one or two Brandreth's
Pills fixed the children at once. A box of pills
is all the medicine chest we require in the
house. We use them for rheumatism, colds,
catarrh, biliousness and impure blood. They
never have failed to cure all the above COM
plants in a very few days" Th

WITHOUT A PRECEDENT.
A Liquor Dealer Forced to Plead Guilty for
Selling to a Druukard.

Liquor Dealer Forced to Plead Guilty for
Selling to a Drunkard.
Joseph Anderson yesterday pleaded guilty
before Judge Collier to the charge of selling
liquor to person visibly affected by intoxi-
eating drink. Anderson was bartender for
"Oyster Paddy" at the time that Joseph Evans
murdered Sadie Pruener. When the murder
trial was on before Judge Ewing, Anderson
testified that Evans, the murderer convicted
in the second degree), had been in the saloon
on the night in question, just before the mur-
der, and that he was intoxicated and he had
sold him liquor.
When Anderson was brought into court yes
terday he was placed in peculiar position. If
he denied the accusation he laid himself open
to the charge of perjury on the testimony he
gave at the trial of Evans No recourse was
left him, therefore, but to plead guilty. He
will be sentenced on Saturday.
This is the first time in the history of some of
the oldest court officials that there has been a
conviction for this offense.

In the little pocket book which the late
Emperor Frederick, then crown prince
of Germany, carried on the day of the
queens jubilee is the following entry:
THE ambulance arrangements on the
day of the jubilee, the drinking troughs
for dogs and horses and the cabmen's
shelters in the streets Of London" II
was his habit to jot down whatever
he saw in foreign countries which he
thought might be adyantageously in
troduced into Germany.
All c rainy, foggy London at con-
venient distances are cab stands where
hansoms and four wheelers wait in a
row for patrons. Until the erection OF
the shelters" the cabman had no place
of refuge from cold and damp except
behind the apron of his cab. These
shelters" stand directly In the middle
of the streets, and with their rows of
little windows all around look more like
playhouses for children than establish
ments for the comfort of cabmen. They
are picturesque little wooden buildings,
all over gables and miniature balconies
from which are suspended hanging
plants. Plants also blossom in pots in
b windows. Here the cabman canpot
only warm his benumbed fingers, but can
get a hot steak and q steaming cup of
tea; 80 a policeman told me one morning
on the top of the omnibus as we trundled
along by the cabmen's shelter on Regent
street.-Aprl Wide Awake.

Caught by an Engine.

AS n southern railroad train was sweep
ing round a curve near Chattanooga,
the fireman espied an enormous bald
eagle on the track, and before the
bird could fly the engine was upon him.
He was struck and lifted upon the COW
catcher, where he clutched a beam with
his great big claws, and held fast. Be
fore he had time to recover from his
fright and the shock of the collision, the
fireman had climbed along the footway
and attacked him. The man was deter
mined to take him prisoner and the
eagle was equally determined not to be
captured.
The struggle was something unique
and terrible. The train was going at the
rate of forty-hye miles an hour. The
nan had to hold by one hand with all
his power to one of the iron guards be-
low the headlight to keep his footing, as
the engine swayed from side to side and
bounded over the inequalities of the
track, while he managed the eagle with
the other hand.
But his birdship was finally secured
after ne had nearly torn the mans over
ais to shreds with his powerful talons,
which are fully four inches long. He
was carried back over the footway, fight
ing like q demon
Once in the cab, the engineer went to
the fireman's aid, and by hard work they
tied ''the king of the upper ether" So
curely, though their task was no easy
one. as the eagle fought savagely with
beak and claws as long as one of his cap
OTIS was within reach.
When tied he was spread put on the
cab floor. and found to measure seven
