BEN BUTLER.

Ben Butler in his new book just
issued from the press says that he
came very near dying from a cold
contracted by taking a bath in a river
in Maine when it was so inclement
that he had to dress on a cake of ice.
He was obliged to take a sea voyage
in order to recover his health. This
shows how reckless some people are
in regard to their health. When you
catch cold do not neglect it but get a
bottle of REDS GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE and take it at
once. 1t contains no poison but is the
best thing nthe world for all maladies
that arise from a cold. You can not
take cold without affecting the whole
excretory system, the skin, the lungs,
and the kidneys. REDS GERMAN
COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE
recognizes this fact and treats the sys-
tenn accordingly. No one who has
ever tried it has failed to be benefited
by it. Get it of any dealer.

SHE SPED THROUGH THE NIGHT AND THE STORM.

But how will you do it?" asked her

Wrapping herself in mantle and
nubia, Rachel Ewing kissed her moth

herself out at a small back window at
a remote quarter from the kitchen.

find a way to have my revenge and
humble your pride, Rachel EWING"
He darted her a look of naughty an
ger, then sprang into his saddle and
rode away down the bluff.
Robert Wayland, an officer in the
colonial service with Washington, was
a handsome young man. gentle, manly
and possessing many excellent quail
ties. His WI parents had died when
he was very young and he had been
raised and educated by his grand
parents, who lived some six miles dis.
tant from Mrs. Ewing's cabin.
1t had been Robert Wayland who
| had brought them the first tidings OF
Mr.. Ewing's death, and the Young of
fcer's kindness and gentle considera.
ton during the sad period which fol,
lowed had quite won the motherly es'
TEEN of the widow and the heart of the
| daughter.
A week went by and Rachel Ewing
had nearly ceased to think of Rigney's
threat to have revenge.
He would surely have enough man
hood not to injure two d~efenseless
women; then how could he find an op'
%portunity to harm the young officer in
| Washington's camp?
A cold, stormy day was drawing to a
| close, as Rachel stood at a window o.
her mothers cabin and watched the
descent of the s~nowiakes.
| Her thoughts were of Robert Way
land, and she hoped that he and a.
his brave comrades in the patriot serv-
ice were we'll and comfortable.
Suddenly four horsemen galloped
through the falling snow and drew
rein before the little rack of fodder
where the cow was feeding.
1t needed no one to tell Rachel Ewing
and her mother that they were British
soldiers
Hitching their horses where they
| would be as little exposed to the storm
as possible, the British troopers strobe
boldly into the cabin and up to the
| pleasant fireplace where a log burned
cheerfully.
They were coarse-faced men, and
their evident disrespect caused Mrs.
Ewing and her daughter to shrink
away in apprehension and loathing.

hearth. Here, girl, you and the old

! With as good a grace as it was posi-
BILE. under the circumstances. for them
to command, the mother and daughter
prepared supper for their unbidden
guests.
As the British troopers arranged
themselves around the table, the leader
addressed the women in these words:
.swe will excuse you now, ladies, and
will wait upon ourselves, as we have a
little private business to discuss"
Only too glad to leave the hateful
presence of their visitors, Mrs Ewing
and Rachel mounted a little ladder II

Scarcely had they gained this retreat

ARTIFICIAL ~BEAUTIFIERS.
World Ia All n Fleeting Show {
Mans Illusion Given"

This World Ia All n Fleeing Show to
Mans Illusion Given"
The art of identifying the complex
ion by artificial means is very old.
The women of gray antiquity knew
how to give their cheeks the rosy hue
which nature had denied them. In
Nineveh the practice of enameling vas
quite common. The skin was made
smooth and clear with pumice-stone
and then covered with a layer of white
chemical preparations. A toilet case
found in the ruins of Thebes contained
a whole arsenal full of little bottles of
perfumes and complexion medicines
The custom of painting the face was
brought to Gaul and Germany by the
Romans. A few centuries later one
hundred different salves for the COM
plexion were sold in the German
market.
In modern times France has been the
great manufacturer and of
cosmetics In England, too, the use of
them has been general. In 1870 the
English parliament found it expedient
to consider a bill to the effect that ''all
women, without distinction as to the
age or rank. maidens as we'll as wild
ows, who should deceive the male sub
jects of his majesty and mislead them
into marriage by lei of paint, salve,
beauty water, false teeth, false Span
ish wool, corsets or padded hips should
be punished under the provisions of
the law against sorcery and the mar
riage should be declared null" That
old law was just too innocent for any
thing.
1t undoubtedly fell into innocuous
desuetude when it was found how the
miserable old Sir Harcourt Courtleys
were deceiving the female subjects of
his majesty with bumpers, wigs,
false teeth, dyed ~mustaches, corsets
and the giddy manners of youth, as
sumed with great pain in company
with the rheumatism of old age. A
German statisticiau who is said to
have accurate data concerning the use
of cosmetics throughout the civilized
world. estimates that the money which
American women pay every year for
cosmetics would pay for the painting
of twenty-seven thousand houses at
the expense of seventy-five dollars per
house. This is held to be a Islander
from men of science whose faces are
made ruddy by beer. The faces of
women are their own and if they can
be harmlessly improved by the use of
an artificial bloom of youth it is strict

girl whispered, land some vile plot is

So saying, she descended to the little
hallway below, and entered q small
closet, adjoining the kitchen.
only a few feet from where the girl
crouched, and inclining her ear she
could distinctly hear all their CONVEX
sation.
Rigney had made himself comfort
able before the fireplace, when the
leader asked him:
well. what news?"
Good" returned Rigney, a triumph
ant ring in his voice.

the same time capture one who can
tell you all Washington's plans which
he is no doubt Matching up we at

Good! Goodr' cried the leader.
That's what CORVALLIS would give a
deal TO know, just the precise plans
that are connecting in the brain of that
sly old fox. The young officer can
supply that information, il we have to
torture it out of him. But how did you
manage the business?"
Listen. You remember i told you I
was watching the majors movements
closely. Well, to-day he has been Wis

much attention from his precious ma

over to see the old people who raised
him. He'll be here in an hour at least.
Keep an eye open, and let the game
walk right into the sack"
Rachel Ewing waited to hear no
more, but crept noiseiessly back up the
ladder and reported what she had
heard to her mother.

named Fraunces, who liked good living
and with whom Washington contin-
ually quarreled about the marketing.
One time he bought a shad in Feb

charmed and asked what fish it was.
1T is a shad," replied the steward.
"a very fine shad 1t was the only
one in the market and l bought it for
you"
"But what did you pay for it?" said
Washington. sternly.

the steward, land it is cooked to a

And with that he drove the steward
