They May Send Letters Free.

There are but four persons in the
Cnited States, other than those holding
public office, who are allowed to re-
ceive and send mail matter free of
postage. These four persons are the
widows of the late Presidents Polk,
Tyler, Garfield and Grant. An act of
Congress is required to grant this priv
ilege to any one, and it has been so
granted to the widow of Presidents
since 1885, when the first act was
passed conferring the distinction upon
Mrs. Dolly P. Madison.
1t Is not generally known that the
law extending the franking privilege
to these ladies also provides explicitly
that mail matter, including letters,
newspapers, and packages addressed
to them is exempt from the payment
of postage. The only explanation of
this somewhat peculiar provision of
law is that when Congress passed the
first of these private acts it failed 10
notice that free postage to the senders
of mail conferred no sort of benefit
upon the person addressed. Mrs.
Polk, for instance, is not benefited in
the slightest degree because some per-
son who wishes to write her a letter is
not required to affx stamp TO it.
Yet when the laws in favor of all the
Presidents widows who came after
Mrs. Polk were passed, the same Ian
guage was used and stands upon the
statute books to-day.

from Catarrh in the Head. Those
who don't have it suffer from those

Here are some Of the symptoms !:
Headache, obstruction of nose, dis

times profuse, .watery, and acrid,
at others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody, putrid, and often

The cure for it-for Catarrh it.
self, and all the troubles that come
from it-a perfect and permanent
cure, is DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
The worst cases yield to its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties. A record of 25 years
has proved that to its proprietors
and they're willing to prove it
to you.
They do it in this way: If they
cart cure your Catarrh, no matter
how bad your case, or of how long
standing, they'll pay you $500 in
cash. Can you have better proof of
the healing power of a medicine?

4 SLAVE BOYS STORYs
Strange Vicissitudes That Led Him
Down the Congo.

Down the Congo.
A letter from the Congo tells the
story of shave boy from Central
Africa who, by a series of strange
vicissitudes, has recently come into the
possession of Mr.. Holman Bentley, the
well-known missionary, and is now
living on the river near the west coast.
The boys name is Kayembe, and he
lived near the Congo, about 1900
miles from its mouth. A while ago a
large party of Arabs from Nyangwe
and their Manyema slaves attacked the
village adjoining that in which Kayem-
be lived. They heard the shooting
and saw the marauders seizing women
and children. Then they fled into the
Jungle, and the Arabs, coming over to
the deserted town, burned it to the
ground.
1t was three days before the villagers
ventured TO return to their ruined
homes. All was quiet then, and they
spsnt the days tilling their fields around
the place where they had lived. At
night they slept in the jungle, as they
feared night attack. They were not
without fear for a moment, but they
still fingered around their fields because
their food came from them.
One day, after they had led this
Gretched life for about three months,
gang of slave hunters suddenly
rushed upon the village, beating their
drums and firing guns. Kayembe's
father threw a spear at one Of the
slavers, woundlng him in the shoulder.
The wounded man then shot the father
dead and cut off his hand as a trophy.
Kayembe dashed into the jungle with
several men after him. They caught
him, and he was dragged away with
other prisoners to neighboring villages,
where the slavers killed the men, and
captured many women. The little
children whom many of the women
carried in their arms were snatched
away from them ard thrown into the
bushes, there to perish miserably.
Some of them, however, were struck
dead, or were stunned by blow from
stick. Others who attempted to fol
low their mothers were struck with
, switches and driven back.
In about ten DAYS the slavers with
cheir captives reached Nyangwe, and
the poor people were soon scattered far
and wide, their owners taking them in
all directions. Kayembe's master took
him 800 miles down the Congo, where
he sold him to a Zanzibari. Soon after
the boy had an attack of dysentery
and his new master, thinking he would
die. sold him for song to a Housos
soldier in the service of the Congo
State. The soldier took him 900
miles further down the river to Leo
poldville, where Sir Frances de Win
ton set the boy free and put him in
charge of the Baptist Mission.
He has learned the language of the
lower Congo, and Mr.. Bentley writes
that he is bright and interesting boy
But the tragic events in his old home
are craven in his memory. He want:
TO return to his own country when il
is safe to do SO, and the missionarie:
have promised him that when they are
able to start station far up the Con
go where he came from he shall 60

A Primeyal Street-Car,

''I rode on one of the first street
cars in America" said a resident of
Central avenue TO an indianapolis News
reporter, ''and it was queer-looking
. =, too. The 'car' was a big square
box with seats running lengthwise on
the inside.
"Small square holes were cut in the
.ides of the car for windows and the
driver was seated on top of the car.
1.-The railroad was in Cleveland,
O., and the car ran from the court
house to Euclid, a distance Of four
miles. The rails were 2x4 oak plank.

CentenarIan Snake.

Early in January OF the present year
a woodsman engaged in chopping some
Of the monster oaks IN the northern part
OF this great "Black Fore,t," Germany,
and who had built fire against large
dead oak preparatory to partaktng OF
his midday meal, was surprised to see
serpent OF gigantic proportions crawl.
from the log as soon as the rotten WOOD
Lad got well warmed through. The
day WAS bitter cJld. and the snake only
made a few yards over the frozen
ground when his convolutlons became
smaller aud smaller, and he finally
ceased to wriggle, and quietly coued up
near pile of brush.
The sturdy German chopper, who had
been more surprised than scared, waited
until the creature had become thor
oughly benlmbed with cold, and then
approached and dispatched him with an
axe. Measurements showed the Shiny
creature to be twenty seven feet six
inches In length, and nearly fif-
teen inches through the body III the
mildle.
Just back of the immense head,
which was eleven inches in length and
almost as broad, little gold ring had
been put through the skin. 1t was In
the form of two rings rather than one,
Icing shaped not unlike the figure 8.
One part of the ring was through the
skin, whils the other was through a
hole in a small copper coin bearing date
f17l2.
One side of the coin was perfectly
smooth with the exception of these let
ters and figures, which had evidently
been cut on 1t with a pocket knife, the
workmanship being very rough: Louis
K utger, b. 6. O., 1871 "
Some of the older inhabitants of the
B ack Forest" remember Of hearing
their parents tell Of "KrutZer, the SER
pent chsrmer," and they all unitein de-
clariDg tat this glgan &c serpent was
formerly tie property OF the old
''cbaruer," and that 1t was at least 1l5
years old when killed by the WOOL

Because the dog has high temper.
AZURE naturally, and an excited, ner-
vous system, he is easily tormented in
to a species of fear and frenzy. And
especially is this the case, should he
become lost, or strayed away from his
master. So at this season, and at such
times, the idle boy or man sees symp-
toms of hydrophobia in the lost and
worried dog, and chases, stones or
shoots at him, till the conclusion that
he is mad furnishes the thoughtless,
ignorant and cruel sufficient warrant
to persecute the poor frightened brute
even TO death. One hundred to one,
ne is less mad tlan his pursusrs.
