THE GROVE ON PIXIES PEAK.
One of the Humorous Fnncies Of the
Signal Service Men There.

One of the Humorous Fnncies Of the
Signal Service Men There.
A few rods from the signal observ-
ers' hut a lot of small stones had been
piled up to resemble a grave, and a
wooden headboard throws a shadow on
them when the western is low.
The average visitor approaches 1t with
a solemn air, and when he reads the
inscription he turns a glance Of surpris-
ed inquiry upon whoever may be stand
ing by. The inscription represents the
grave to be that Of n lady who was
eaten by rats on the summit of Pixies
Peak. one night In 1876, which. Of
course, Is something that never happen.
ed. Along about that time some news
paper fakir published a yarn in the
East about the horrible death of a
woman who was spending the night
on the top of this mountain, and it
was generally copied by the press OF
the country. There was no foundation
for Ii, and II created q great deal of
Indignation here. When the railroad
was first opened the influence Of the
press was demonstrated by the number
Of inquiries that We're made of the
weather observers concerning this un-
fortunate woman. and the signal SER
vice officers, who have very little to oc-
cupy them, displayed their humor and
spent their spare time In fixing up this
grave and painting the inscription on
the headstOne.
1t Is a fact. however, that there are
lots Of rats on the top of Pixies Peak,
and where they come from and how
they live nobody can explain. The man
In charge of the restaurant told me
they had to set traps every night, and
generally caught two or three, but this
did not seem to diminish the number.
Down on the mountain woodchucks,
squirrels. chipmunks and other burrow-
ing game can be foand but the rats that
haunt the signal station are n mystery.

The following from an exchange H.
Illustrates a pigs intelligence.
We call pigs stupid creatures. This
Is not fair. They are really as intelli-
gent as the majority Of domestic ami
mails. but the lives we allow them
are too short and their opportunities
too few for them to show their abili-
ties to advantage. The pig Of which I
nave o particularly to tell was by
no means a handsome specimen, but
what b wanted In beauty she made
up in intelligence.
AS a baby pig she belonged to n per-
son named Toomer. and she was raised
with a family Of young pointer puppies.
She took kindly to her playfellows. and
wne they became old enough TO follow
II keeper in his walks, she, TOO, would
come trotting and granting after. When
MT. Toomer began 10 train his young
charges Tor their work OF finding and
pointing out game there was danger
n a piggy might make mischief. But
the Keeper would not leave her shut up
ut home. He had, he said, brokCA
many dogs as obstinate as pigs and
could surely break a pig that was so
much more tractable than the rest of
her kind.
So he taught her 10 "baCk"-that IL.
to stand perfectly still whenever Il dog
had found game and was pointing at
1t. To teach her this he used both re,
wards and punishmcnts: when she did
wrong he pelted her with tiny stones,
Tor he could not catch her and chastise
her as he did naughty puppies, and
when h behaved herself we'll he had
always barley meal pudding in his
pocket for her. But this was not all.
He discovered that piggy. like many
other pigs, and a keen sense Of smell.
She learned TO scent the game and
point at 1t for herself but not quite like
a dog. A pointer dog when he has
found game stands generally with one
Of his forepaws held up until his mas.

She was sure that she had found a

drop on her knees and so remain for

Unfortunately, before her schoOlmas-
ter had time to teach her any further
accomplishments he died. His widow
sent piggy 10 a man with whom she
lived for three years. But, alas! piggy
did not escape the common doom Of

of all cases of consumption can, If taken In
the earlier stages of the disease, be cured
This may seem like a bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means gener-
ally in use for its treatment as, nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emissions, extract
Of malt, whiskey, different preparations OF
hypophosplites and such like pdNtdIfSrS.
Although by many believed to be incura-
bic, there is the evidence of hundreds OF
living witnesses to the fact that, In all its
earlier stages, consumption IS a durable
disease. Not every case, but a large per-
ceRkage of eases, and we believe. fully 81
per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so FAR as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular natter), great loss of flesh
and extreme enaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery +" were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal diseasel You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever III mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial Of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
1t surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little foi
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the h~ypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a large number OF
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
You can then write those cured and learn
their experience.
