possessors of that beautiful section,
were numerous Not the least pleasure
of these trips was that of listening to
the old mans tales of those early days.

worked on them was one | played on
couple of Sioux one summer in the for

Il had frozen my feet the winter be-
fore, and was not well able to get
round on the prairie so made up my
mind to take good long rest and get
ready for the fall trapping. With that
idea l rugged up brush camp on the
creek that joins these two big lakes,
and took things easy.
II had been having nice quiet time

trouble me bit. / had had so many
brushes with the Sioux, and had always
made them suffer so much and then
got out of their way so mysteriously,
that they had sized me up as great
medicine man, with special manitou
to look out for me. They meant to
keep out of my way; and knew it.
But didn't go round with my eyes
shut, l can tell you, for l knew too
much about Indians to expect them to
stay in one mind.

canoe and started for the upper lake.
You know there are lots of bulrushes
round that lake, and l needed about a
canoe load of them to stop the leaks III

After | had cut lot of the bull
rushes and tied them in bundles about
as big around as my body, laid them
in the bottom of the canoe and padded
farther up the lake for little fishing.
You recollcct that place betwixt the
island and the point of timber where
we struck that school of big black bass
last summer? Well, there were far
more bass there forty years ago.
Il cut me good pole among the will
lows on the island, and tied a big rock
fast to the rope at the bow of my canoe.
Then l padded close to the island,
hoisted the rock overheard for an
anchor and began fishing.

the hot sun made me sleepy. There |
sat, nodding, and starting awake to
pull in fish whenever l felt

He had my hatchet and knife, and
I'll be hanged if he wasn't coming

my own weapons.

lifted my gun and put the butt to my

''He laughed in ridicule and showed
the canoe ashore. At that instant

the canoe. He had seen me loading. and
his word told the young brave the fix he

hatchet so suddenly at my head that 1

instant he sprang at me with the knife.
But he jumped straight at the
muzzle of my gun, and the force of the
blow that he got took the breath out
of him. He grabbed himself with both

A Confederate War Story.

Hugh Brent, late of company A, 7th
Virginia cavalry, tells the Baltimore
american the following interesting lit
tie war story:
During the retreat from Petersburg
my company-cos A,7th Virginia
cavalry, Rosser's brigade was de-
tached and sent to Gen. Gordon's head
quarters. When we reached the vicini-
ty of Amelia Court House the column
was halted and the tired men lay down
in the road to rest.
A comrade named Owens and my
self were sent out to picket road run
ming into the one upon which we were
marching. We had not been on post
more than half an hour when we heard
the tramp OF horses coming toward us.
When they got in hailing distance we
halted them and asked the usual ques-
ton: WHO goes there?"
The reply was some federal regi-
ment. | do not remember the name
how. They in turn demanded to know
who we We're. The answer was:
Eight Illinois, with an order to adj
vance" When they came up we dis
mounted and disarmed them without
the slightest resistance on their part.
One of the men was dressed in Il
handsome new uniform of a confeder-
ate captain, the other as a private.
The one dressed as captain was
about my size, and his handsome suit
attracted my attention. According tC
the usages of war l Immediately pro.
posed an exchange of clothes, and as he
was not in n position to decline my
polite proposition, the trade was soon
effected, and the prisoner was carried
to Gen. Gordon's headquarters minus
his fine plumage. When we got there
the general required me to return the
clothes, saying that he wanted to send
him to Gen. Lees headquarters just as
he had been captured, but assured me
that should have the clothes after a
proper disposition had been made of
him, which, l think, according to Gen.
Gordon's Interpretation, meant hang
ing.
never saw the prisoners afterwara.
Gen. Lees humanity may have saved
their lives, but it certainly deprived
me of a handsome suit of clothes.

If you have wife and a half-a-
dozen daughters, you can keep them
all we'll by very simple means. Let
them use DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pres
cription. 1t is good for women of all
ages. You will not need to spend all
your wages for it. Those ancient
sages, the M. DIS of century since,
did nothing but dose and bleed their
patients. We do better to-day: We
use DR.. Pieroe's remedies. For wo-
mankind, DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pres
cription is simply indispensable.
The young girl needs its strengthen
ing help at that critical period when
she is poisoning into womanhood.
The matron and mother find in it in

SAM CLENN'S BAD LUCK,
He Thought He Had "Ciucb," but
Found Out His Mistake Later.

There goes man who once sold a
common brass key for $4,000 aud
lived to repent his bargain"
The speaker was John Barron, a
theatrical manager of long and varied
experiences, but who is rs nimble and
as full of business as the kecnest lat
tar-day Snowman. He addressed a
gathering of players and agents on
Upper Broadway day or two ago,
and, except himself, not one of them
knew the person he referred to, al
though he had just passed the group.
He was tall and very lean, with a
strong face and white hair. Those
who heard Barron's words, among
them New York AdUertiser man, gave
shifts of doubts as they stared at the
old codgar.
Its true, nevertheless, boys, and he
is but another illustration of the ups
and downs of theatrical management.
The old gentleman is Sam Glenn, a
capital actor in old stock DAYS, and
still a good one. if he could but con-
vince managers that he is not too old.
He achieved some fame in the fifties
in q burlesque of Richard Ill, in which
he played the duke with n German
dialect and fought a terrific sword
combat with an imaginary antagonist.
but this is how he came to sell the
key: With little money be drifted
into Norfolk in the early days of the
war, and finding the theater closed,
leased it; but actors were little skit-
fish about going to the front, as they
called it in those days, so Sam had the
theater on his hands. He sat down to
wait for something to turn up in his
favor. Just as he was about to leave
town in disgust, along came old Bill
Spaulding and his partner, whose
name | don't recall. and they began
to dicker for the house. He told them
that they could buy tie kew fc- S25,-
900.
Wen give S20,0 00' said Spauld-
ing It's go. replied Sam. They
forked over the money. took the
key, and within week had q company
coming from Washington. Sam fairly
flew north for fear they would repent
and try to get their money back when
they learned the general stagnation
prevailing in Norfolk. He had no
cause to fear, for the town filled up
with soldiers and the theater became
gold mine. 1t made Spaulding rich.
and the next lessee also made a for
tune before the bottom dropped out.
Sam lost his money, and when he
heard how the men that bought the
Key were getting S. and s. seat and
lamming the house every night. he saw
that he had got the hos end of the
poker in the trade. After that he had
no luck. He tried managing, but
everything he touched went wrong.
He played now and then; but of late
years he has been crowded out of the
swim, and is now, in his old age, glad

IMPORTANCE OF TWO LITTLE
THINGS

1t has often been wondered what be-
comes of the pins that are lost, but it
is hard to say. There are fourteen
distinct operations in making a pin,
and lots of trouble attached to the
process. Pins are made of brass and
then timed and blanched, and mil
lions of them are manufactured daily.
As pin can be used more than once
the number used does not equal that
of matches, but still miles upon miles
of wire is used annually in their man
ufacture. Like matches, the are little
things and not thought much of, but
when you need pin or a match, and
there is none to be found, then you
realize what an important part they
play in daily life.
