Reds German Cough and Kidney
Cure.

A summer cold is a disagreeable
thing. It comes from exposure to the
dews of evening or to the night air,
and it is almost always followed by
an attack of malaria or by cholera
morbus. When you feel chilly, which
is the first symptom, take a dose of
Reds GERMAN Cough AND KIDNEY
CURE. This great remedy is the best
thing for throat complaints and OBJ
stinate maIadies that arise from a
cold, such as asthma, catarrh, and
bronchitis. All of these begin with
cold that is neglected, until it devel-
OPS into a settled disease. Reds
GERMAN COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE

A Little Ghost Story.

In the western part of West Salem
Township, this (Mercer) county. and
within half mile of the Ohio line,
stands the skeleton of q house that for
months has been haunted. 1t was for
merly occupied by G. Burns, writes a
correspondent of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. He raised his large family
in it; and it is only since the separation
Of him and his wife, some months ago,
that the story of the ghosts became
public.
Burns sold the house to Mr.. Simpkins
some time after he and his wife separ-
ated. Since then he has told Of the dis
turbances.
For weeks before he and his wife left
the house, he says, the nights were
nights of horror. A sound as of child
crying and moaning in pitiful distress
would be heard at times, although he
and his wife were all alone there.
Mr.. Burns is man who is we'll
known for his pluck and courage, yet
he declares he would not stay in the old
house again over night for $500, SO ter
rible have been the rights he has re-
ceived. At times before he and his
wife separated the noise would keep
them both from sleeping, aud they
more than once got up in tile middle Of
the night and busted themselves about
some work to take their minds from the
moaning and crying.
The noise ives not heard at night on
ly, or at any stated season. but was liza
BILE to break forth at any time, and only
the strongest nerves could stand it,
even in daylight. Burns told the facts
as narrated to Simpkins, after the latter
had purchased the property. Some in
vestigation was made, and the noises
were heard by score or more at vari-
Gus times after the house had changed
owners, but no one solved the mys-
terry.
Simpkins has since torn down the old
house, so that little more than the

An Incident Told by Traveller in the
Dark Continent.

An Incident Told by Traveller in the
Dark Continent.
In Dr. Peters book telling how he
fought his way in Africa, he narrates a
curious story of the killing of two ma
tives by Lieut.. Tiedeman not far from
Victoria Nyanza. The white expedi-
ton had been received with much hos
pitality by Wachore, an important sui
tan, who invited Peters and Tiedemann
to his audience hall, where, surround
ed by his chiefs and women, he re-
ceived them. To impress his guests
with his power he had on hand large
collection of the weapons used by his
warriors, including considerable num-
Der of rifles and other guns. Among
them was Martini rife, which Wachore
handed to Peters to examine. Peters,
after examining the weapon, handed it
dentallv. The ball passed through the
head of one of the men in attendance,
killing him instantly, and struck the
throat Of man who was behind him,
and wounded him so severely that he
filed to death in a few minutes.
Peters endeavored to apologize for
the fearful accident.
"My FRIEND" he said, els over
whelmed with grief. He did not know
that the gun was loaded, and he was not
even trying to fire 1t. l think he is not
to blame"
The sultan, much to the surprise of
the white men, burst out laughing.
"Oh, it is nothing" he said, they're
only slaves. 1t is no matter whatever.
Besides, it was not your friend, but the
gun that was to blame. Y on friend has
done nothing wrong at ALL"

their master. They said it was nothing
and they tried to make merry, al
though Peters thought their laughter
was little forced. Some men bore the
bodies out of the hall. They sprinkled
sand over the pools of blood and
brought in another bucketful of banana
wine, with which the King and his
guests RECALLED themselves after the
tragical spectacle. Peters said it was a
good deal like the accidental breaking

to relieve Embarrassment and asserting

try or the west
A thrilling story of adventure and
peril comes from Johnson County,
Wyo., the seat of the late cattle war.
During the entire winter, says the
Omaha Bee, Contractor Stringer has
been unable to carry the mail across
the Big Horn Mountains from Buffalo to
Ten Sleep. In the belief that the
summer season was sufficiently adj
vanced to allow the trip to be made, he
started from Buffalo on strong saddle
horse and with four mules packed with
mail pouches.
Twenty-Five miles of hard travelling
landed Stringer at an emergency cabin
with his stock completely played out.
Then he placed some mail on tobog-
gan, and, strapping on pair of snow
shoes, made another start for Ten
Sleep. In about fifteen miles one of
the snowshoes was broken. The nearest
haven was Stringer's own ranch, twelve
miles distant. He was five days get
ting to 1t. Most of the way he crawled
on his hands and knees. With hunger
and exposure he was all but dead /.
Resting three days at his ranch, and
making new shoe, Strlnger returned
to the station for the abandoned stock
and mail, and in week went through
to Ten Sleep. He returned to Buffalo,

A Few Hints on Good Behavior in TIL

Few Hints GOOD benRVlOr In the
Open Air.
1t is decidedly i'll bred to eat any
thing, even confectionery, in the
street.
No woman, unless in feeble health,
should cling to q mans arm during q
daylight stroll.
Look out that you do not discuss poll
tics, religion or love affairs in public
conveyance.
Personal matters should never be in
troduced at a chance meeting if the
third party is not conversant with the
facts.
No lady will accept seat vacated by a
gentleman for her convenience with
out giving in return smile, a bow, or
thanks.
1t is optional with lady to recognize
at the second meeting gentleman who
has upon a previous occasion rendered
her a service.
Never swing your arms when walk
ing, unless quite outside the town. Ii
free from observation this will be found
an excellent means to help locOmOtion.
Remember that the knob of your
parasol is not bonbon, although, from
the industrious manner in which some
women feast upon It, one might be led
to think so.
Bandying words with an employe of q
company is pure waste of time.
Should he be insolent or unreasonable,
take his number and complain to those
IN authority.
Street fiirtations are in this enlighten-
ed age regarded as the height of vulgar
ity. One breach of good taste in this
direction is enough to destroy your
claims of good breeding Chicago Mail.
