hundred miles IN tac lwenty-four hours.
The system followed was to ride on
so long as could get horses and to rest
when waiting for them. In this way
one is pretty sure 10 get at least six or
seven hours for sleep out OF the twenty
four. Once, however. 1t happened to
me that there were fewer delays than
usual. and went on continuously for
over thirty hours with no Falts beyond
those required for changing horses OF
course. this system can only DO adopted
by one who is pretty tough, and who
possesses the faculty of being able i'm
mediately to go TO sleep anywhere and
Mt any hour OF tho night or day.
The horses are supposed, as / have
said. to go about eight miles an hour,
but there are great variations from this
average. When tho poor animals are
in bad condition or tired, they can
hardly be induced to go beyond walk
or jog-trot, and they sometimes abso-
lutely break down, In which case fresh
ones have TO be procured from the next
station. On the other hand, they will
sometimes 60 at good hard gallop the
whole way, with only one or two halts
OF a few minutes to let them recover
breath. 1t is In these circumstances
that one thoroughly enjoys. this kind Of
travelling. and the excitement OF 1t is
Increased by the probability of fall.
for even the good horses are not always
sure-footed, and In a long journey one
must always expect u few ''croppers."--

BE ABOVE SUSPICION,

Git is q gratifying feeling among
many that their lives are above susp,.
cion. Yet how many good people on
account Of circumstantial surround
ings have had the finger of unjust sus-
picion directed towards them. Car
buncles, unyielding sores pimples on
the face, rough skin having an erupt-
i've appearance, etc, are in the eyes of
so many regarded suspiciously as in
dicating the presence Of some contae
ious blood disease, aud pointed ques-
tons that are productive of consider
able annoyance. These skin blem-
ishes and eruptive tendencies OF
course tind their origin in the blood,
but not necessarily the result Of con-
tagion. Tho blood may have become
impure on account Of colds and ex-
posure, improper food, weak digestion,
urinary disorders, etc. However, it is
well TO remove the unnatural condi-
tion Of the blood and the flesh by a
prompt use Of DIR. John Bulls Sar-
saparilla. 1t regulates affairs inter
nally and externally, beauties the
skin and restores impaired organic
functions to their normal strength and
activity.

ONE OF cLAY's PETS.

a Baby's Adventures with tho Great
Kentucky statesmsn.
Ono OF the brightest OF the new
United States Senators is Mr.. Nathan
Fellows Dixon. OF Rhode Island,
bright-eyed. dark-faced Republican
forty-three years OF age. lio comes
from line of statesmen. His grand
father was In the Senate when John
Tyler was President and his father
brought him here as three-year-old
baby during his first Congressional torn
In is49 and 80. Senator Dixon stopped
with his father at this time at the Ma
tional Hotel. and young as he was no Is
able to remember some OF the incidents
OF this part OF his life. Henry Clay
was stopping At the samo hotel and he
was very fond Of children Senator
Dixon says he distinctly remembers one
day going down the steps and meeting
Henry Clay coming up The great Ken
tuchian grasped tho Rhode Island baby
by the arms and lifted him up TO his
face Little Dixen yelled out:
LET me go!"
Mr.. Clay, however. putting his arms
around the boy anil holding him to his
breast said; "I can't do that because
want TO kiss you, and wonder II you
know who am"
"Yos, know" said the boy, 'but
want TO GO"
"well, who am ~" said Clay.
"oh!" said young Dixon. "you are
Mister Harry Clay. Now let mo 60"
With this the great statesman kissed
the boy, gave hearty laugh with his
big mouth and put him down.
From this time on Baby Dixon and
Senator Clay continued their acquaint-
ance, and Baby Dixon ofton came into
Senator Gays room and was made much
OF by the Senator. One day. however,
he was present when Henry Clay had
some important callers. lie had no time
10 talk to Baby Dixon and he took him
from his knee, placed him upon his
foet and said: Nov, Natey, run down
stairs to your mamma"
The future senator was rather indig-
nant at this treatment and he slammed
the door heartily as no stamped out
Senator Clay told the story u number
OF times afterward- He said he could
hear little Nathan's footsteps as no
went down tho stairs. At first his tread
was loud and boisteeous. As he went
toward the bottom it grew fainter, and
at last the noise stopped at the foot OF
the stairs. A moment later he heard
tho little feet pattering back. again and
n gentle knock was made upon the door.
Henry Clay called out:
Como in, xirr
Tho door opened and little Nathan
Dixon's pretty facc looked in and his
cherry lips voiced forth the words
MY love to you. Mr. Clay ~
With that he turned and ran down
tho stairs Co his mother. lie had owl
IDENTIFY appreciated that his 'action In
slamming the door and leaving tho
room was ungentlemanly. and though
only boy Of three years no had repent-
ed before he had reached tho foot OF tho
stairs and hurried back to mako his,
baby apology.
Senator Dixon told his story in,con-
versatlon the other day. and he ought
not to object to seeing 1t in print, as 1t is,
certainly complimentary TO him.--E. G..
