Ten days loss of time on account of
sickness and doctor bill to pay, is any
thing but pleasant for man of family
to contemplate, whether he is laborer,
mechanic, merchant or publisher. Jas.
o. Jones, publisher of the Leader,
Mexia, Texas, was sick in bed for ten
days with the grip during its prevalence
a year or two ago. Later in the season
he had second attack. He says: SIN
the latter case 1 used Cham berlain's g
Cough Remedy with considerable sue
cess, I think. only being in bed little
over two days. The second attack am
satisfied would have been equally as bad
as the first but for the use of the remedy" !"
1t should be borne in mind that the grip
is much the same as very severe cold
and requires precisely the same treat.

EITHER TONIC OR INToxIcANT.
Peculiar Qualities OF p Cactus Eaten by
Prairie Indian Tribes.

Peculiar Qualities OF Cactus Eaten by
Prairie Indian Tribes
The bureau of ethnology has for
warded to Johns Hopkins university
for analysis a quantity of the hearts
of a certain species of cactus native
to the Indian territory. These are
eaten by the ziowas and other south
crn prairie tribes, producing an lntox-
ication somewhat like that of hash
eesh. Used in moderation, they
are said by the Washington Star to be
a most powerful tonic. Like the
famous coca of Peru, they check waste
and so stimulate bodily activity as to
enable man to work hard without
sleep for days together. The Indians
chew these cactus hearts and swallow
them. They induce condition of ex-
altation. While under theiIs influence
a man is lifted out of himself, as it
were. He is wide awake, yet dream
ing. The intellect is not clouded, but
stimulated in high degree.
The most remarkable thing about
this plant is tn It its peculiar effect is
not followed by any reaction. On that
account it might be ideally adapted
for sprees. 1t Immediately arrests the
reaction which makes the topper SO sad
after a s'jamboree.'' At the same time it
is neither narcotic nor an opiate. The
southern prairie Indians, with whom
the eating of the plant is a religion.
regard it as a cure Coz all diseases, ,espe-
cially for consumption. At their sacred
festivals they remain for days in the
state of ecstasy described. Each man
consumes the cactus hearts at the rate
of about one an hour. The songs and
ceremonies are of dreary kind, ap-
propriate to the method of inspiration.
Experts at Johns Hopkins university
will obtain from the material fur
nished the active principle of the
plant. Thus it is expected that a new
medicine, valuable, perhaps, for many
remedial purposes, will be added to
the pharmacopeia. DIR. Carl Lumholtz
has recently discovered that four va
rieties of this cactus are known to the
aborigines in northern Mexico. One
giant kind is regarded by the Indians
in that part of the country as their
greatest medicine, being much more
powerful than the plant employed by
the Kiowas. They can drink any
amount of corn beer. and this remedy
will take away all i'll effects. The
name in use among them for this big
sort of cactus is ''hicurri.''

Great Fighters.

King Lobengula, of the Matabele, a
greater man than his people, had the
satisfaction of knowing that mis- men
were no mean warriors and that he had
trained them to go against, and
stand it, too, almost anything but ma
chine guns and repeating rifles con-
stantly emptied. British defenses in
South African warfare are the laager,
a fortification formed by throwing
wagons into circle. In one battle
some of the Matabele gallantly pressed
up to within fifty yards of the British
position, but having poor arms and be-
ing poor marksmen, they We're no
match for the well-armed whites.
Within two hours and a half the Mata-
belle attacked the British laager three
times. In retreat the Matabele hung
some of their wounded to trees and
drowned others, it being their princi-
pie, apparently, that the only good
Matabele is sound one.

HIS FIRST VOLUME.
How . Young Poet Made His First Lit
erary Capital.


Mr.. James Payn tells story which
he thinks is new of the manner in which
a young poet made money out of his
first volume of poetry, The anecdote,
it must be said, is much like one that
is told of the late James Russell
Lowell; but here it is in Mr.. Payn's
version:
The youthful adventurer had his
doubts whether the book would pay for
itself, and when good natured friends
whose good nature, we may be sure,
stopped on the wrong side of buying
said: you'll be half ruined he was
rather inclined to agree with them.
At last, in fear and trembling, he
wrote to the publisher to know the
worst-which he himself had calculat-
ed at about eighty pounds.
"Let me know how many have gone
off, he wrote in all modcsty, s'and
wnat Is Une paIance / owe YOU
The publisher wrote back:
'tDEAR SIR: Your whole edition has
gone off, leaving balance of twenty
pounds in your favor; check inclosed.' .
The poet was in the seventh heaven,
and yet not satisfied. He rushed to the
publishers to inquire who had bought
the book-friends, enemies, Nude, or
who?
my dear sir" said the publisher, 81
think you had better not ask
Not ask? Why not? You wrote to
say that the edition was all sold; it
must have been sold to somebody"
Pardon me. 1 wrote that it had
gone off, so it had, the whole of it.
There was fire in the warehouse, and
the contents were insured

The experience of Geo. A. Apgar, of
German Valley, N. j., is well worth re-
membering. He was troubled with
chronic diarrhea and doctored for five
months and was treated by four differ

began using Cbamberlain's Collie. Chol-

bottle effected complete cure. 1t is

LIKE a BRAVE MAN.
Death OF One of vrrsinia's Most Fearless
Pioneers

Death OF One OF vIreinia's Most Fearless
Pioneers
John Weitzel was one of the boldest
pioneers OF West Virginia "a man
absolutely without fear one of the
ehroniclers of those times calls him.
The manner of his death was worthy
of that eulogy. In the pursuit of his
occupation, that of hunter and survey
or, he often undertook long journeys
aione-a reckless proceeding, when
time and place are considered-and
was never accompanied by more than
one or two friends
One day, while returning in canoe
with one companion from an excur-
sion to Middle Island creek, he was
hailed by large party of Indians, and
ordered to put ashore. Without MAX
ing any reply .he headed the boat for
the middle of the stream, and, with his
companion, made every effort to es-
cape.
The Indians fired on the instant. and
one of the bullets struck Weitzel in the
body. Seeing at once that the wound
was mortal, he ordered the other man
to lie down in the canoe, and then,
with renewed vigor, though his life
was ebbing fast, he pulled for the OPP
posite shore.
The Indians fired another volley, but
without effect, and before they could
reload the boat was out of range.
Weitzel expired soon after reaching
the bank, and was buried -by his com
panion. His grave may still be seen,
marked by rough stone on which is
traced in rude characters, 81. W.,

patching the brute l only inflicted a
wound that msddened the monster tho
more, and the battle then became one Of
life or death between US.
"A couple more Of the arms Of the octo-
pus had by this time been wound around
the boat, and they reached from stem to
stern. Oars and boathooks were our only
weapons but 1t was almost useless to at
tempt to pry the suckers from the boat
They would no sooner become loosened at
one spot than they wguld fasten them
selves on another. The boat was complete
ly enveloped by them, and all hands were
kept busy to escape being caught in the
clutches Of the relentless suckers. The
small craft rolled and rocked in the arms
Of the monster, and every moment 1t
threatened to throw all five Of us into the
water. The only hope we had was to
deal the monster the deathblow, but it
seemed the opportunity would not again
be offered Blows had no effect on the
huge tentaclss. The men belabored what
parts of the fish they could reach with
clubs, but the effect was like pounding a
piece of rubber. Several times the boat
was tipped by the struggles Of the monster
SO that water came over the gunwales,
and in desperation the men fought for
their lives, but expecting every moment to
be drawn below the surface of the ocean to
q horrible death.
"Ono Of the stout fGhhooEs had caught
securely In the body Of the brute, and u
couple Of the men began to haul in on the
stout line, Slowly they gained on the cord
as they pulled, and Eowly the body Of the
monster was being dragged from the keel
Of the boat, where II had been impossible
to reach 1t with any weapon TINT would
put stop to the battle, Steadily the men
hauled away until the body came In sight.
The huge eyes glared savagely up through
the water, but the vital spot was yet out
of the reach of the weapon poised to deal
the deathblow when the opportunity came.
Slowly the monsters body was being
dragged upward, and as it reached the sur
face the sharp spike Of the boathook was
driven with hand Of desperation deep
into the brutes body just below the eye,
and the victory was won. Gradually the
long arms unwound themselves, and the
most terrible Of all sea monsters was sooN
dead and on the deck Of the little fishing
