The man whom thoroughly and pos
itively hate and against whom as type
| would warn young women, as the
board of health officers warn the public
against infection with scarlet fever
card, is the domestic tyrant, the man
who is bully in his own family, the
man who is hero at home and coward
among bigger men than he. When he
was boy, he loved to torture kittens,
trap rabbits and tease birds by breaking
up their nests and cracking their eggs.
But a yearling calf or sitting hen would
always make him run. Now he is man,
he swears at his wife and nags her life
away, He sends the cold chills down
the children's spines whenever his steps
draw nigh and is as pompous and big
feeling among the women folks and the
helpless boys and girls as a fussy old
turkey gobbler with his hens.
Fun can no more thrive where he is
than pansies can live in coal gas. He is
civil to the black man who gives him his
dinner, to the boy-provided he is full
sized-who blacks his boots and to who
ever is richer and stronger than he but
politeness for his wife was laid away
with his wedding garments, and he curses
his daughters and his sons for every
trifiing misdemeanor in way that would
rouse a newsboy to thrash him if he
spoke to the lad with equal insolence.-

II has been the practice among dentists
for many years to stop hemorrhage after

Of cold water to the wound Practitioners
started with the idea that heat caused ex-

from the vessels; but, on the other hand,
that cold caused contraction. An advanced
advocate Of the modern school of dentistry
now recommends strongly the use of no,
water for arr sting bleeding.
DIR. Schctf cf Vienna adduces three cases
In his own experience in which the superb
ority OF this method was demonstrated. He
allowed one patient to take a large quaint

various stypiics had been applied in vain,

| che tribe he Is said to be part Mexican. He
| formerly served as a scout in the army and
reached the rank of sergeant. During the
San Carlos outbreak in 1886 he sided with
his own people, and when his arrest was
attempted he and several other Indians
opened fire upon the soldiers, killing sever
al of them. His principal abettor In the
mutiny was Masse, another Indian, and to
getber they effected their escape.
| For a long time afterward Kid and Masse
| skulked about the mountains, robbing and
numbering whenever the opportunity pre-
sented itself, torturing their victims most in
humanity and mutilating their bodies In a
manner too frightful for description They
were both captured at last, tried for killing
the soldiers and sentenced to life imprison-
ment at Columbus, o. For some unex-
planned reason they were taken back to
Arizona, tried on another charge and sen
fenced to imprisonment at San Quentin,
Cal. This sentence was allowed to super
sede the other, and they were taken to Cali
fornia. During the same year they were
taken back to Giia county ard tried for
murder again, being sentenced this time to
imprisonment in the Yuma penitentiary.
Kid is said to have remarked during the
trial that he had travelled about rs much
ms he was going to- and when Sheriff Rey-
nolds started to take them to Yuma he
was warned to be watchful. The warning
was unheeded, and his carelessness cost
him and his deputy their lives, while the
driver of their wagon had u very narrow
escape. There were three Indians and a
Mexican prisoner, the sheriff, his deputy
and the driver in the party. While going
through narrow canyon where the sand
made progress difficult, the Indians were
ordered to dismount to relieve the horses.
Although shackled, they attacked the
sheriff and deputy, killing both of them
with their own weapons and putting a ball
through the drivers cheek. The Mexican
escaped in the bush. Kid took the keys
from Sheriff Reynolds pockets and relieved
himself and his companions of their letters,
and arming themselves with the officers
weapons the Indians set out for the Mexi
can line. Masse was subsequently killed
by soldiers in the White mountains
Since then Kids career has been one of
ceaseless brutality and crime. He has com
mitted murders and robberies too numer-
GUS to specify, always, when circumstances
permitted, torturing and mutilating his
victims. He ia cool in action and full OF
| strategy, but fights only when the odds are
greatly in his favor. lie is unusually dar-
ing and often enters the Indian reservation

him TO understand the movements OF
troops and though they have followed him
closely for hundreds of miles he has always
got away. He has travelled often 20 miles
day when pursued, and many times has

He is only about 81 years old and is the
only member of his original band alive.

FIGHTING A MAD WOLF.



Hidden In a House.
NV room was at the end of long hall. I
was familiar with every crook and turn
about the house and didn't need light, so
| passed into my room and closed the door.
It occurred to me then to take asmoke, so
I felt around Ia IT, dark aud found cigar
and struck match to light It, The next
minute think you could have knocked
me down with feather. Away down In
the darkness under tho bed two fiery eyes
shone out like burning Goals just for that
brief moment that the match was burning
and then 1t went out. Before had time to
think the creature was upon me and was
springing for my throat, the most savage
animal had ever met. l felt rather than
saw what it was. The creature was a wolf,
and 1t was mad.
Several animals afflicted with hydropho
bia had been seen in the neighborhood
during the past few months There is no
animal more formidable than wolf when
it has rabies, and | knew with what ! had
to contend had to struggle with large
wolf shut up in dark room, and the
slightest wound from its sharp teeth meant
certain and horrible death TO me. As il
came to me first | threw out my hands,
and by some good fortune happened to
strike it's neck. | got both my hands
around it's throat and managed to hold 1t
away from my face, but it was all that
could do.
Twas nervous, | suppose, and the wolf
was far stronger than 1t would have been
under ordinary circ,' instances. The froth
was dripping from its mouth and flew into
my face as it struggled. 1t was the most
desperate struggle of my life just to hold
that wolf and keep it from my face and
throat, at which 1t constantly leaped in
the most furious manner. All the time,
from the moment it sprang at me first,
had been shouting and calling at the top
of my voice. There was very little hope
Of doing any good with it, as the servants
were too far away, and my room was on
the opposite side of the house from their
quarters, but that was the only chance.
1t was very evident that couldn't let go
my hold for an instant. 1t was just as evil
dent that couldn't hold out this way long,
and that unless help came after awhile my
strength would eventually give way and
the wolf would tear my throat, as it was
struggling then to do. And how long do
you think this kept up? For two hours
for two mortal hours by the cloek-I stood
there, fighting for my life with the savage
wolf and shouting for help every moment
of the time. A hundred times | thought
my strength was gone and that my arm
would surely sink down powerless the next
moment. and yet always managed to hold
him off little longer
At last, just as l was almost in complete
despair, one of the servants was aroused
by my continued shouting, and came run
ming with his gun in his hand. managed
to hold the wolf until he made light, and
then held him while the man put the
muzzle Of his gun against the VOLTS head
and killed him as dead as Hector And
then went to my sisters room and had

Sugar. Molasses and Honey Are Nowhere
In Comparison With Sacchartne.

|
| In Comparison with Sacchartne.
An industry still young, but unques-
tionably with great mercantile future,
is that of saccharine, a product OF coal
tar 1t is substitute for sugar, has
none of its bulk and is SO powerful that
| it is 800 times sweeter. The history OF
its discovery is interesting.
| In 1879 Dr. Constantine Fahlberg, a
Russian by birth, but who had been ed
ucated in Germany, became connected
with the Johns Hopkins university in
| Baltimore. There he conducted series
of experiments on the toluene sulpha-
mides. in order to investigate their oxi-
dation products.
The outgrowth of this investigation
was the discovery of saccharine by
oxidizing pure orthotoluene sulphamide
| it was found that it would yield re-
markably sweet compound. The amount
obtained, however, was too small to be
of any practical value for manufacture
| ing purposes. The problem thenceforth
was to find other reactions which would
give better yield of the sweet body. A
long and exhaustive series of laboratory
experiments extending through several
years were necessary for the satisfac-
tory development of the chemical proc
ess of production.
As might be expected, a discovery of
such practical utility had to run the
gauntlet of much hostile criticism. 1t
formed fruitful subject for discussion
in various scientific societies and jour
nails. Attempts were made to show that
it was not only deleterious, but danger
ous 1t is only fair to say, however, that
these arguments seem to have been sue
cessfully controverted. An overwhelm-
ing mass of expert testimony is recorded
in favor of saccharine Eminent profess
ors, like Sir H. E. Roscoe in London,
Leyden in Berlin, Paul in Paris, Won
Barth in Vienna, and a host of others,
after thorough tests, have certified that
the effects of saccharine upon the phys
cal and psychical functions of the brute
| and human systems are entirely harm
less.
Saccharine in its pure condition is a

merate few: 1t is so small in bulk that
the saving in storage and freight is of
course very great; its valuable antiseptic
qualities make it especially available in
preserving as well as sweetening articles
of food, such as jellies, fruits, etc. In the
distilling of brandies and liquors and in
the brewing of beer saccharine has been
used with signal success. Mixed with
glucose. saccharine has a sweetness equal
to the finest refined sugar Further,
saccharine serves distinctly medical
purpose. 1t is employed to disguise the
unpleasant taste of medicine and in the
preparation of medicated wines and 9th
er cordials 1t has also been highly in
dorsed rs q substitute for sugar for those
suffering from diabetes and from fat
