In a pretty chalet that nestled high
sgaint the shaggy breast OF Mount Obgadin
lived the Widow Neur and her daughter
Marie
A lonely home you would have thought
it, but the fir trees that walled 30 in your
ears whispered good cheer to Marie.
Very lovely was the little Swiss maid,
with violet eyes that now danced and
sparkled and then grew soft and tender as
a little child. Two rose red lips shut in her
pearly teeth and when she smiled tiny
dimple danced for q moment on her peachy
cheek. Her hair chung in caressing curls
around her low white forehead and fell in
ripples Of golden sunshine far below her
slender waist.
And her voicel All, that was Marie's
greatest charm. Soft and clear, not dis
cordant note married its sweet, pure har-
mouy.
Sometimes as she sang at her evening de-
votIon the herdsmen far below In the val
ley, catching faint notes IN her song:
looked up and crossed themselves, half
believing they heard the echo OF an angel
choir.
But very few knew Of Marie's beauty.
For when she went with her mother on
one of her rare visits to the hamlet below
she brushed her wavy hair straight and
smooth back from her forehead and braided
iJ in long stiff plairs which fell down her
back.
And her sweet voice, frightened at its
own sound 90 far from home, grew faint
and husky, until, In this shrinking. sober
damsel, walking 80 timidly beside the
Widow Neur, you would have found 1t hard
to recognize the beautiful Marie or she
mountain.
SO 1t happened that only her mother and
one other person knew how GOOD and SWEEP
and how fair Marie was.
This other was a stranger VINO cams from
PARKWAY country and spent his summers
in a little house on the mountains very top.
The simple villagers called him The
wizard and told strange tales OF how he
spent whole nights gazing at the heavens
through long tube; that he could foretell
to an hour when the sun would cover itself
with darkness.
But, stranRest of all, he had a little wire
stretched for miles over hills and valleys TO
the great city. This wire talked to him In
queer language which no one else could
understand.
Marie did not know how wise the wizard
was when he came to her house one morn"
ing and asked for drink of water.

thus strong friendship between the Two
was begun.
After this the wizard came often to the
widows chalet for rest aud retreshment on

LAST OF THE MoHAWKs.

Giant James Hartley, Who Pebbles
Roots and Herbs In schenectady.
From the New York Sun.
SCHENECTADY, Dec. 1.--Nearly every
day, no matter what the season or the
weather, there may be seen on the streets of
Schenectady one of the most picturesque
figures in the Mohawk valley. II is that of
James Hartley, who. more than any one be
met, attracted Edward Freeman on his visit
TO this country many years ago, and whose
personality figured oonspicuously In one of
the historians lectures as THE Last of the
Mohawks."
The giant form, once straight as an ar
row of his forefathers. now slightly stopped
with age, the prominent aquiline nose, the
keen eyes, the tightly closed lips, the long,
thick hair, all make him q man to be re-
marked of men. OF all the chiefs who
went to Washington after the ghost dance
uprising had been suppressed not one on
crowded Broadway would draw 30 curious
a gaze upon himself as James Hartley,
whom the iconoclasts of this old burg have
dubbed Jim Cuff" When or why no one
knows, for Jim Is nearly as old as the old
est inhabitant.
Jim ia remarkable character. He was
born on the outskirts Of Schenectady near
where the electric car barns now stand on
upper State street, and his sense OF locality
must be strong, for his cabin In now within
a short distance from the spot where he first
saw the light. His father, James, who
died about half century ago, was mag
nificent specimen Of manhood, but he did
not compare with the son when the latter
was in his prime. Just how old Jim ID
no one knows; heldoes not know himself
Old residents estimate his age at from 50 t.
30 years. William II. Helmer, who Is spoken
of as the next democratic candidate for
mayor, says he first became ac-
quinted with Jim forsy-fve years ago He
was then nearly z feet high; he is now

Diseases That Affiict Telephone Girls,
Cyclists and Gum Chewers.
From The Netc York Herald.
"In this fast age we are q prey 30 some
mighty funny diseases"
The man VINO said this. one OF the widely
known physicIans of New York. went on to
explain as follows:
'The other day my son asked me TO buy

it, have been hesitating because l know
that IL he rides very much he VIII become
afflicted with the safety stoop. Catarrhal
laryngitis is the latest disease charged up
against the bicycle.
II was going along the street the other
day aud saw half q dozen young men who
were neither straight nor crooked. They
were all bicycle riders, as could tell at q
glance, and they were all afflicted with the
safety stoop.' Now the safety stoop' is a
mighty bad thing.

1.-THE other day. went on the doctor, "a
young woman called on me at my office and
said: Doctor, don't know what Ia the
matter with my ear. am getting deaf In

III inquired into the case and found that
the young lady had been troubled only about
six months. Iapplied the usual Instruments
and found that the inner ear was perfectly
normal.
II then asked the young lady IL her
mother had ever boxed her ears excessively
In her youth and she said no, although she
admitted while she was at school tne school
ma'am used to twist and screw her ears
considerably.
"Well il was q case of the telephone ear.

many of our young women are becoming

Courage, little one." the wizard an
swered. "Tell your mother" he added
suddenly, that / am going TO lend you a
silver belt to wear, and that my knowledge
tells me that the bravest, handsomest youth
In all the land will dance with you"
The happy Marie thanked the wizard as
Gustavus had done, and ran off 10 tell the
wonderful news to her mother.
Early next morning Gustavus went for
his charm. He found the wizard waiting
for him, and taking him into his strange
room, the wise man said smiling, as he had
the day before, half quizzically, half SYM
pathetically:
Heres the charm, my good fellow. You
see it is a magic ring. Put it on before you
90 to the fese, and be sure you dance with
every maiden there. When you place your
arm about the waist of the one whose heart
is true and good a strange feeling will run
through you and your hand will cling to
her. But you must be sure You dance with
ALL"
Il was curious circlet of iron, and with
fat extension, which the wizard babe him
wear pointing toward his palm.
When the fete day came Gustavus was
there among the other young men, eager
to try his charm.
All the maidens of Obgadin canton were
there also, and on the outskirts OF one Of
the gay crowds little Marie lowered timidly
beside her mother.
Marie nestled close TO her mothers side,
and as the hours fed and no youth asked
her to dance her head dropped lower and
lower, and she wondered IL the wise man
| had made q mistake.
In the meantime Gustavus danced with
one after another of che maids, but though
| he watched with intense eagerness not once
| did he feel the strange thrill for which he
| waited.
II have danced with them ALL" he said at
| last to himself, Except that shy one over
there; surely she is not the grill But as
| have promised to dance with them all i will
| try her too"
| He asked her name OF one Of the girls,
and then going Co her said simply:
"Marie, wilt thou dance with mep'
Astonishment and delight made Marie
| for moment forget her shyness. The
| wizards words had come true.
| AS he placed his arm around her his hand
| touched her shining belt.
Instantly a strange thrill ran through
! them both, and Gustavus arm seems TO
cling to Maries waist
"Marie, did'st thou feel thasf" he cried,
| earnestly.
And Marie smilingly answered:
"Yes.n
So they began dancing, and as they
danced IL seemed TO those watching them
that wonderful transformation came over
Marie.

When approached by reporter with the
query, are you taking medical treatment
at the Copeland Medical Instituted Mrs.
Cochran frankly says, yes l am being
treated by Drs. Mansfield and De Monco
for catarrh.
What prompted you to place yourself I'M
der their care!
First because of the noted improvement
in the health OF nelghbor, who was taking
treatment of them. Second from my own
convictions, after reading their testimo-
malls from many we'll known people who
are residents OF the city.
Would you kindly state in your own
words how you felt before taking their
treatments
For seven long yenrs I was never free
from headache, produced by catarrh. L
was compelled to deny myself OF all pleas
ures and society. For days would wish
to be alone. / candidly believe had this
condition existed much longer | would have
been q ut subject for the insane asylum.
My formerly strong constitution was being
rapidly undermined | was losing flesh,
my appetite was nearly destroyed, nothing
seemed to possess that delicious flavor, I
enjoyed so much previous to the attack of
this horrible disease, | say horrible be-
cause think there is no disease which per-
meates the system so thoroughly and be-
comes 90 offensive. not only TO yourself but
to all with whom you como in contact, as
catarrh.
Do you think your health is improving
under Drs. Mansfield and De Monco's
treatment.
Yes do.
Are you-s
Please do not ask me any more questions
as l shall give statement to them for pub
LEGATION and shall describe my case in full,

and hesitate to speak in favor OF their
benefactor but l certainly appreciate all
Drs Mansfield aud De Monco have done
for me and an glad of this opportunity OF

AT CANADIAN PORTS.
No Action Taken Yet Prohibiting Immigra-
ton Into Canada.

QUEBEC Sept. .3.-The federal authori-
ties have notified the mayor and provincial
government that they cannot entertain the
idea Of placing the old immigrant sheds on
the Louise embarkment at their disposal
for cholera hospital. The establishment
of hospital there would be in the way of
immigration. This is taken to indicate
that the government has no intention yet
of prohibiting immigration into Canada.
The delegates of the international con-
ference quarantine inspection, as a result
of q visit to the Crosse Island quarantine
station, have concluded, on account of the
deficiencies existing at that station that
nothing short of total exclusion of immi-
grants and effects of vessels coming from
infected ports will furnish efficient pro-
lection against the Introduction of cholera
or other contagious diseases through this
