asked of or imposed upon him from that
quarter.
But there was one medicine Clark could
not get him to take: and it was a tonic
upon which he placed the most reliance in
such a case-plenty of good whisky.

why, Lefty. that's mighty queer 1
know you've drank plenty OF whisky before

Yes, sir, an it's what I'll never do again
it's been my worst enemy. I've been in
with rustlers an all kinds o. thieves when
l was drinkin', an didn't get no good by
my meanness, neither. Whisky starved me
an froze me long as i stuck to it, an
that's what it'll do for any man that loves

AS Lefty said this he looked carefully
away from his employer. ClarkS drinking
habit was the one gnawing anxiety and dis
tress that he had.
1t had been growing steadily worse since
Lefty came to the Rita Blanca. 1t used to
be that Clark only drank to excess when he
went to Antelope, where there were bar
rooms and convivial companions: but now
the blackboard could not be got ready for a
drive of day or two across the country
without jug of whisky in it.
Lefty's own bitter experience, to certain
passages in which-the most shameful and
criminal-he always referred with open SIM
plicity. gave him an appreciation and hor-
ror of the declivity upon which the other
was starting; and he only lacked the cour-
age to speak.

A Remarkable Adventure.
Ex-Congressman Charles Dougherty of
Florida tells remarkable story of adven-
ture on Christmas day. He said he had
been camping on Ship Yard Island near
Turtle Mound. with Captain Frank Sans,
Lee Childs and other acquaintance in Vo-
lusia county. On Christmas eve they had
set four bear traps at bear wells on the
beach. These wells were in the thick scrub
palmetto. The roots of the beach palmetto
rise above the ground from two t. four feet
high. They are gnarled and twisted IN
every direction. In crawling beneath these
roots in the search for wells, a great well
was discovered beneath a lone cabbage
tree. The track Of a bear was seen in the
sand on the brink of The well. With al

Even while his poor spent frame dropped
shuddering against the gate, his single and
undertaking mind ran desperately through
every possible scheme for saving Clark.
They were of much the same height and
size-enough 50 to be mistaken in the semi
darkness. Why not make it seem-vny
not.
He tore the gate open with a Iurch, and
flung 1t wide - Lefty he screamed

the excitabe team of COW ponies, trained to
run at the shout, swept through at a gallop,
he SlaShed the near horse with his whip.
The outfit whirled away like cloud, while
Lefty turned to face Clarks fate.
He accounted for himself pluckily with
that whip: but it was OF small use against
two long knives.
When Clark Sargent. thoroughly sobered
got the wild ponies pulled down, turned
around and driven back to the gate, there
was nothing in sight on the great, gray
glimmering level but dark, motionless
heap by one of the gate posts.
He flung his lines over the other post

The Pulse and Temperature.

From st. Nicholas.
If you take a thermometer on hot sum-
mer day and watch it until it runs Up under
the influence of the sun shine to 9S.4, you
will see it, when it reaches that point, at
the exact temperature of your body, il
you are in normal health. Your tempera-
ture may fluctuate fraction above or be-
low 9S.4, according to the time of day or
night, but it never varies to any extent
until fever or some other kind of disrase
sets in. Then the temperature begins to
do what the pulse would not do-tell how
dangerously sick the person is And one
of the strange things about 1t is that 1t
does not vary many degrees from this nor
NAL point Of 9S.4, no matter how ill the
patient may become. If there is high
fever it may run up to 1O4 or :O5 and sorne-
times to 1O6 but 1t seldom stays at this
last point for any length of time. If it
goes up to 10S the good physician who is
watching at the bedside of the sick person
concludes that death will soon put IN end
to the suffering. Sometimes, as in cases
of cholera, it may drop several degrees
below 9S.4 but it seems to be impossible
: for it to change many degrees from the
normal point There are cases recorded
where the temperature ran up to 10 or
III and the patient recovered.
The pulse, on the contrary, may change
many beats and still the sick person will
not be in danger of death. But, rs rule,

Alexander b. Montgomery of Kentucky
gives a good idea of Christmas celebrations
in his state In some of the congressional
districts the day is ushered in with horn
blowing, bursting of anvils and the snap
ping of firecrackers. Kentucky nectar flows
very freely, even before breakfast, but never
so freely as to prevent the truly pious man
from attending church and paying devout
attention to the sermon. In the afternoon
there are horse races and occa sionally a
chicken dispute. AT night the air is filled
with music. Uncle Tom thrumS the ban 10,

Campbellite preachers celebrate the day in

A story told by Asher G. Caruth is worth
repeating here. 1t was before the war. a
negro preacher had been holding a powerful
revival meeting. Many negroes some bad
and others worse, had been converted. All
were to be baptized on Christmas day. The
immersion was in Blue Lick creek. Several
colored women had been baptized, when a
tall, powerful Ethiop was led into the

having a squirrel tail in his sombrero. On
the stand was that great statesman and
magnificent orator, Nat Q. Henderson. As
Judge Culberson closed his speech and Hen
derson arose to deluge the crowd with his
eloquence, the audience quailed. An extra
ordinary scene occurred. The cowboys
drew their lariats and tried to lasso each
other. Then there were repeated fusillades
of revolvers. One of the lariats reached the
platform, and Henderson gave way. He
evidently felt that his eloquence would be
wasted on such a crowd. Many man was
