VICTOR rREvIr.s DuEL.
uslf-Bresd and n Mes Pcrcc Fight for
the Possession Of = SquRw.

Half- Bresd and n Mes Pcrco Fight for
the Possession Of Squaw.
Victor Trevit, the founder Of Lewistown,
r.. was one Of the most remarkable char.
.eters the history of the Northwest has ever
hnown. He was a half-breed.
Among the Neg Perces was a beautiful
.buayv. the daughter of Tall Pine, a noted
>bief. saws the Omaha Bee. She was known
n the Blushing Rose. Trevit conceived a
Sassionate love for her, and intimated to
Fall Pine that he desired to make her his
Wife.
The proposition pleased the old chief,
but when the plan was laid before Blushing
Rose she signified her displeasure by de-
tlaring that she would wed no man but
Leaping Panther, handsome young brave
who had distinguished himself in the chase
hnd whose intrepidity and skill in the use Of
fhe rife were the wonder Of the tribe.
The old chief, with an eye open TO his
personal interests, tried TO laugh down the
protests Of his daughter and coolly informed
her that she must throw aside her silly in
fatuation and become Trevit's wife whether
Ehe prospect pleased her or not.
She threatened to kill herself il she was
pressed into distasteful union, and Trevit
hnd Tall Pine were in a quandary as to what
move TO make, when the brave young war
rior, Leaping Panther, offered a solution
10 the difficulty by suggesting that Trevit
and he fight duel with knives, the girl to
become the wife Of the winner.
Two warriors quickly tore the shirts from
The mems bodies and strapped their left
hand behind their backs. Thus, naked to
the hips, with cleaning knife in their
'hands the men moved toward each other
with the stealth Of tiger in their move
ments and the cunning of q fox in their
eyes.
The combat was not of long duration.
,Trevit suddenly rose to the full limit of his
splendid height and rushed upon his foe
with force and yell that caused the
young squsw by the bowlder to turn pale
and tremble, but smile of exultation lit
up her face rs she saw the mas ssive form of
Trevit reel and the blood gush in q flood
from his side.
Leaping Panther's agility had served him
well, and, with spring, he was on his
wavering antagonist, who, with a wild
sweep of his long arm, sent his glittering
knife through the muscles and tendons of
the young braves shoulder, and the two
men fell together in O helpless heap.
For many days Trevit lay at the point of
death, but his powerful constitution pulled
him through, and he became himself again.
Leaping Panther never recovered the use
Of his right arm, and was obliged to re.
linquish Blusning Rose to Trevit, as the
half-breed had been declared the winner
in the fight, since he had rendered for
ever useless the fighting arm Of his antag-
onist.
In due time the young squaw became the
wife of Trevit, but she never forgot her
first love, and two years after becoming
the wife of the old pioneer, one morning
her remains, together with those of Leaping
Panther, were found at the bottom of the
Snake river.
They had deliberately gone to their death
clasped in each others arms.

A Mistake Oftan Made.

Boys and young men sometimes start out
in life with the idea that ones success de-
pends on sharpness and chicanery. They
imagine IL q man is able always to "get the
best of a bargain" no matter by what de-
ceit and meanness he carries his point, that
his prosperity is assured. This is great
mistake. Enduring prosperity can not be
founded on cunning and dishonesty. The
tricky and deceitful man is sure TO fall a
victim, sooner or later, TO the influences
which are forever working against him.
His house is built upon the sand, and its
foundation will be certain TO give way.
Young people can not give these truths too
much weight. The future of that young
man is safe who eschews every phase OF
double-dealing, and lays the foundation OF
his career in the enduring principles OF
everlasting truth.

RIDICULOUS BUT TRUE.
A ReaI.Estate Dealer and Preacher Ex.
change Laughable Yarns.


Two gentlemen We'd with each other in
my hearing on ridiculous stories, writes the
Chicago Journal sidewalk stroller The
first was o realestate man, and was pres
ent when the incident occurred and know
It was truly related. The other was q mir
lster, and OF course that makes the story
good. The first said: "We have had all
kinds OF customers to deal with, but an old
lady visitor yesterday beat US all. She was
IN search of a house to rent. In her
search she found one that suited her, and
on it was tackled large card with the name
Of our firm. The first intimation we had of
her intentions was when she appeared In
the doorway of the Office with the To Rent
card in her hand. How much for the rent
of this houser she asked, holding up the
card. OF course we asked her where she got
it. 'On the house. she said, shortly.
which houseP you ought to know that
yourselves, it's the rent want to know
The typewriter stopped to snicker, the head
Of the firm muttered something about i'd
lot while the talking member Of the firm
tried to reason with the old lady. At last
he told her she should either take him TO
the house or bring the house to him, at
which she few mad and said she would go
TO some other agent il we could not answer
50 simple q request. Where she got our
rent-card only she and the side Of the house
knows, and one is as lik, y to tell as the
other" The preachers story was short 1t
was on the hired girl. His wife got her
through an employment agency. 1--WE had
company" said he, "and had to have her.
Before retiring, the first night she was in
the house, my wife gave her instructions
about breakfast, and told her to ring the
bell when it was ready. 1t was six O'Clock
the next morning, when we were hall
awake, half asleep, that there was a ring at
the front door as IL an early messenger
brought telegram. The first ring was fol
lowed by pull after pull at the door-bell, un,
til we rushed to the window and peeked
out the screen to see if there was fire in
the vicinity We returned to our sleeping
room laughing, while our guests were in the
hall, half dressed, asking: What's the
matterr Breakfast was ready, and the
girl was obeying the last order Of the night
before. She did ring the bell, but never

Catarrah Can't be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as
they cannot reach the seat of the
disease. Catarrah is blood or con-
stitutional disease, and in order to
cure it you have to take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrah cure is
taken internally, and acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrah Cure is no quack
medicine. 1t was prescribed by
one Of the best physicians in this
country for years, and is regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the
best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting di-
rectly on the mucous surfaces. The
perfect combination of the two in
gradients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing catarrh.

A New Method Of Treating Disease
HOSPITAL Remedies.

What are they? There is a new
departure in the treatment of dis
ease. 1t consists in the collection of
the specifics used by noted special
lists of Europe aud America, and
bringing them within the reach of
all. For instance the treatment
pursured by special physicians who
treat Indigestion, stomach and liver
troubles only, was obtained and pre-
pared. The treatment of other
physicians, celebrated for curing
catarrh was procured, and so on till
these incompatible cures now in
clude disease of he lungs, kidneys,
female weakness, rheumatism and
nervous debility.
This new method of Zone remedy
for one disease" must appeal to the
common sense of all sufferers, many
of whom have experienced the i'll
effects, and thourghly realize the alb
surdity of the claims of Patent Med
lcines which ere guaranteed to cure
every i'll out of a single bottle, and
the use of which, as statistics prove,
has ruined more stomachs than alco-
hol. A circular describing these new
remedies is sent free Oh receipt of
stamp to pay postage, by Hospital
Remedy Company, Toronto, Can
