o stream close by we decided to bring
our large canoe up the stream and carry
our captive away in that.
While I was sleeping at the spring
Sam had strayed away after partridge
which few up close by and had discov-
cred the stream. He was returning to
the spring when he saw Crazy Burk car
rying me through the woods on his
shoulder. He followed as cautiously as
possible, and when we were within the
hut he stole forward and gained the roof
By the aid of convenient tree. He
covered the chimney with his coat, hav-
ing resolved to slide down into the hut
when my captor came out to see what
the trouble was. His plan worked to
perfection.
We succeeded in getting the mailman
to our camp that night, but did not
start to cross the pond and run down
the stream for home till the following
morning. While on our journey we
came upon Jack Thorne padding leis-
urely along the south shore.
Hello, youn'kers. " he cried, cheeri-
ly. $50 old Burk didn't get you after
all. Did you find any game!'
You bet." was Sans ready reply.
"Just come alongside and we will show
you stable animal that we captured.
How is that for game?'

hunter; ''if it amt Crazy Burk him

When he heard our story, he looked his
admiration and declared that we were
two ''harkers," which we accepted as q
compliment
As soon as possible we delivered our
captive into the hands of the proper au-
thorities. He was adjudged insane and
sent to an asylum, but he lived less than
a year after being confined. He often
boosted that he had killed and eaten
Mart Simpson, the missing peddler.

DO FISHES SUFFER PAINq

An Expert Says They Are Not as SensI-
tive as Warm-BloOded Animals.
have read many articles on the sub.
ject of whether fish, when caught on the
hook, feel any pain, or whether their
struggles were merely the result Of find
ing themselves fast. fish great deal
in the summer months for trout, bass
and pickerel, and have done so for many
years. have studied the matter very
carefully, and have made up my mind,
from various incidents that have come
under my observation, that fish are not
sensitive to pain as are warm-blooded
animals. will cite two instances that
show to me plainly that must be right
in my conclusions on this subject.
Last October, while fishing for pick
erel on Lake Cary, Wyoming County,
Pa, in company with q companion,
among other fish that we caught was q
pickerel that would weigh nearly, If not
quite, three pounds. My friend pulled
it up, and as it came on to the top I
saw about twelve feet of very coarse
brown line hanging to it. Upon in
specting it more closely l found that tho
fish had in its side "a very strong and
coarse hook, TO which the piece OF line
was ATTACHED. The wound must have
been made very short time previous
to our catching the fish, for it was
bleeding quite freely and looked very
fresh, and il the fish could.feel, it would
certainly have deferred 1t from tax
ing our hook so soon after such an
injury. There was only one other party
fishing on the lake that daY, as 1t was
cold and windy, and that pickerel must
have received his injury from them and
have come nearly across the lake to US,
dragging that piece Of heavy line with
him.
The other instance occurred in this
way: was fishing for pickerel with Q
skipping bait"-most of your readers
know what that is-a piece Of pork rind
or q pickerel belly, and had with me q
friend who. though he could handle 9
brigade under heavy fire, was not up
to the trick Of catching fish that way. I
was having fairly good sport, but he got
impatient and finally, when he had .
good strike, he jerked so hard as to
break his line, and away went the fish,
and he at once proposed to 60 home; but
told him in joke if he would wait i've
or ten minutes would catch that fish
and get back his hook. So we sat dOwn
and had q short smoke. ! soon COM
menced to cast my hook near where he
lost his fish. Thad = strike. and 10 our
mutual surprise out came the Generals
6sh, with his hook we'll fastened in its
mouth. Now, 1 don't think the fish
would have taken the bait so soon again
had It been in any pain from the hook.

a rash courage and love of adventure.

us, he will get into trouble"
Jack Thorne smiled grimly.

his eyes rested half-scornfully on the

EXPLOSIVES IN DOSES.
The Use of Gun Cotton and Nitr0-Glycel
Inc In Medical Practices.


The Use of Gun Cotton and NitrO-GlyceE.
Inc In Medical Practices.
DIR. II. II. Burchard, famous Phila-
delphia physician, speaking Of the
progress OF medical science in these
later years, said to reporter the other
day:
''Iiave you any idea Of how far high
explosives are used in medicines? You
can not get your knowledge from books
unless you ransack five hundred vol
umes and pick up the scattered items
here and there. It may surprise you to
know that they are in daily use and Of
the greatest value in all sorts Of dis
eases and injuries.
'There is, for example, gun cotton,
or, as we call 1t, proxylin. 1t Is twice as
powerful as gunpowder, but very much
inferior tOdynamite or nitro-glycerine.
Dissolved in ether, it makes that won
derful compound we call collodion. In
this shape it is employed to protect raw
or injured surfaces. 1t dries rapidly
in fact, almost as fast as 1t is employed
and leaves behind fine, elastic arti-
fetal skin, which Is mir and waterproof
against microbes and disease germs.
Mixed with cantharides, collodion makes
the best blistering plaster known to
science. Mixed with tannin or fannie
acid, 1t makes q wonderful remedy for
stopping the flow Of blood from wounds.
In cases Of scalding and burning col
lodion enables the profession to cover
the exposed flesh in manner never be-
fore possible. No secretion OF the body
affects it, nor, on the other hand, does
it exert any unpleasant or Objectionable
influence upon the system.
''But of even greater value is nitro
glycerine. When used in medicine 1t is
largely diluted, one part being mixed
with one hundred parts Of alcohol, and
one drop of the resultant mixture Is a
dose. In this form 1t is an admirable
antidote in cases OF neuralgia Of the
heart and many cases Of nervous dis.
turbances of the human body. Thus 1t
has been used and given wonderful re.
lief in nervous asthma, hiccoughs, head
aches and similar disorders. 1t has re.
peatedly cut short an attack of the
chills and fever, and so eminent an au-
thority as DR. Robert Bartholow recon-
mends it in certain forms Of Bright's
disease, and also for that most misera.
BILE of earthly ailments, sea-sickness.
''Thus far we have only begun to know
the medical virtues Of gun-cotton, nitro
glycerine and amyl-nitride. Beyond
these there are over six high explosives
of which we know little or nothing as to
their real character, and nothing at all
regarding their action upon the physical
organizations. 1t does seem curious,
however, that substances which in
large quantities are destructive OF life
and property should, in small ones, be
beneficial to the sick and injured. Tho
gun-cotton which blows a man up en-
ables the physician to destroy the pain
OF his raw members and to heal them in
less time than was ever before possible
with other remedies. - Washington
