Misuse of Horse Power.

Nearly twenty years ago two BROTH
ers purchased each team of Canadian
ponies for work upon their farms; they
were as nearly alike as two teams could
be, and under the same management
would have lived and done service an
equal length of time. One brother al
ways drove rapidly and would
reach his home-four miles distant
from the railroad-iu fifteen or twenty
minutes less than his brother, although
he lived quarter of a mile beyond his
brothers house. The other brother
never urged his horses off walk if he
had load on. If the horses chose to
trot down the lower slope of hill he
would allow them to do So In guiding
them he strove to avoid all stones,
heavy ruts and bits of sand. 1t seemed
to be his constant aim to husband the
resources of his team. The result was
that, after twelve years of constant
use, the slow and careful driver still
had the same team, and a good team,
too Meanwhile the other brother had
had eight different horses and spent
over nine hundred dollars in horse.

Jim's first impulse was to secrete the

in the gulch, but he remembered that
he had hired himself to the stage COM

slowly up the grade of Kenosha noun
tain, preparatory to wild dash down
the other side into the South park,
remarked to him that it was going to
be a pleasant night. He replied that
you never could tell much about nights
in that country until the next day; he
had seen nights just as promising as
this one turn out real bad before day
break. The very best of meteorologi-
cal predictions were likely to fail in a
country so thickly infested with gen.

added that he had known of peoples

We're going up Red hill now; help

to see more things than scenery"

place beside him in time to see the
other passengers descend one by on,
from the inside of the coac h with their
hands above their heads and take a
place in line beside us.
There were but two of the road
agents. While one of them relieved
the passen gers of their weapons and
all art icles of value the other was in
the front boot of the stage securing
the treasure box.
When the first robber came opposite
to jim, he drew back in surprise, ex-
claiming: We'll, I'll be darned"
For a second only he was off his
guard, but that brief space of time was
a fatal one A pistol cracked and he
fell shot through the head.
Bang, crack" went two more shots.
Both took effect; the second road
agent reeled and fell from the boot of
the stage and Jim was lying beside the
first robber. 1t was the big six-shooter
of the man on the stage that had an
swered Jim's first shot and it was the
crack of a derringer that had termi-
mated the brief battle.
Jim was wounded in the leg. A
young doctor in the party stanched
the flow of blood and we proceeded on
our way with the bodies of the two
bandits thrown into the hind boot

cerned They ha d seen Jim's six-shooter
taken from his holster by one of the
bandits, after which a careful search
had been made to see that he had nc
other weapon, but when we picked hin,
up a derringer was clasped in either
hand. The question was how had he
managed to conceal them and bring
them into action at such an opportune
time? The mystery was solved when
his clothing was removed at the hotel
in Fairplay. Under his waistcoat was
the wire and elastic poker hold-out
formerly belonging to the gentleman
from Texas. The nippers for holding
the cards had been removed and a cir
cular clasp large enough to securely
hold the handle of a derringer had
been attached in their place The gen.
tleman to whom the continuance origi-
nally belonged was in the hind boot.
His surprise on recognizing Jim ac-
counted for his presence there.
Jim's leg was broken and the doctor
informed him that when he recovered
that leg would be shorter than the
other; that he would always limp when
he walked.

Health Rules for Women.

There are three things that give a
woman perfect form, movement and
disposition. Resolved into rules, they
are as follows: Don't fret, keep clean,
and, finally, keep supple. TO keep sup
Pile woman must begin by breathing
right; then she must walk with her
muscles instead of her bones. and, last
ly, She must exercise regularly. The
best way to keep clean is to rub nice,
soft cream into your skin before taking
bath, and then take that bath just as
hot as possible. The cream feeds the
skin and the hot water cleauscs and
softens it. The way to keep from fret
ting is to put your thoughts upon some
thing else than yourself, and, above all,
to have an interest or object in life.
No woman need fear old age if she mas

hill, doubly significant title by rea-
son of the color of the soil and the
bloody murders committed there by the
Mexican bandits, the Espinosos. From
Red hill the road again enters the
South park. passes through the old
town of Fairplay, once boisterous with
the gayety of pioneer gold diggers, and
now given over to Cinnamon, thence to
Buclskin Joe and over the Mosquito
pass.
Red hill was the danger point on the
first division of the road. Near the
summit is a little basin where the road
is completely hidden from view on all
sides. Little gulches lead up to this
spot from the South park, atfording
every opportunity for road agents to
reach the place unseen and to likewise
make their escape. Pilgrims" for
Leadville usually were supplied with
money, and great deal of wealth
originally intended for investment in
the carbonate camp was turned over to
gentlemanly persons who encountered
the stage in the little basin on Red hill.
The individual who sat on the dusty
old Concord coach and pulled the rib
bons over SIX bronchos between Web
ster and Fairplay was known as Jim.
/ made his acquaintance while we were
at dinner in the rough board eating
house" at Webster. He was a tall,
slim. muscular man with a swarthy
complexion, dark eyes, and heavy
mustache black as jet from the copious
use of dye. He wore high-topped
boots with extremely high heels, and
his feet were small and delicately
shaped. His trousers were of gorgeous
plaid material, the bottoms being worn
inside his boot-tops. A widebrimmed,
white SLOUGH hat was cooked rakishlv
on the side of his head. Some garish
jewelry adorned the front of his waist
coat. There was a jaunty air about
him which was less pronounced by rea-
son of the stiff and awkward way he
carried his arms; | attributed this to
the natural effect of driving six spirited
horses for years over a mountain road.
He had formerly been a gentleman
of fortune, and at one time in his ca
reer had amassed a considerable sum of
money in the game of chance known
as draw poker. When he was at the
height of his prosperity another gen
tleman of fortune, late of Texas, drifted
unostentatiously into camp and caused
the report to be circulated that he was
aching for game. Jim undertook to
relieve the gentleman of the pain
he was suffering ON that account.
and they met in the back room of
Uncle Billy Coleman's Palace of Fash
ion on Main street.
There was a silent controversy in
the early part of the game caused by
a remark of Jim's to the effect that
people from Texas seemed to have
more luck than Chinaman."
The gentleman from Texas demurred
to this and said there was no such
thing as luck in draw poker: the
chance features of the game, he said,
had all been eliminated by the applica-

THE MORTUARY URN.


placed Comment.
More than one man and quite d num-
Der of women turned round to look at
the curious adaptation of old to new
methods. A hearse was being driven
slowly up Broadway above Twenty
third street with the curtain raised so
that the whole interior could be seen.
There was no coffin there, but right in
the middle of the inside platform there
stood small black vase about eight
inches high and perhaps as many
inches in width across the handles.
WELL" said one gentleman, swing
ing round his companion to look at the
hearse, II knew cremation was get
ting to be more and more practiced,
but I'd no idea that the cremationists
ever made funeral of the ashes.
There's the mortuary urn, you see, and
in it, suppose, is the handful of dust
that represents the dear departed. I
wonder, by the by, who the dear de-
parted was"
There were no mourning coaches
that could be distinguished in the jam
of cars and carriages, and as the hearse
went slowly along with its curious
little load the general composite ex-
preston on the faces of those that
watched it indicated that the whole
thing might be all right from Il n.y.
gienic point of view, but that as a
funeral it was strange, cold and heart
less.
And when the hearse stopped at the
undertaker's rooms the driver pulled
out the vase and handed it to The pro-
prietor.

ton, which he did to perfection. At
the end of six hours Jim's earthly pos
sessions consisted of the suit of clothes
he was wearing; everything else he
had owned in the world had passed
into the hands of the skillful and
scientific gentlem man from Texas.
The Fairplay gambler arose from the
table and relieved himself of some
choice profanity, most of which was
directed against himself. He declared
that he was better qualified to drive a
stage than to pose as gentleman of
fortune" The superintendent of the
stage line, who was present, loosely
offered jim job, and the penniless
gambler in a spirit of bravado accepted
it, and declared then and there that he
would never touch the paste boards"
again as long as he lived.

departure as unostentatiously as he
had come, but leaving behind him b.

and elastic cuntrivance which puzzled
the brain of the landlord to determine
its use. Several persons to whom he

STRONG Nerves

Depend upon pure, rich, red, nourishing,
strengthening blood. The nerves derive
:heir sustenance from the blood and when
they are weak it is because they do not re-
ceive the nourishment needed. The true
cure for nervousness will not be found in
opiate or sedative compounds. These only
allay the symptoms.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1895-04-04

Removes the cause by purifying and en-
riching the blood, giving to it just those
qualities which are demanded for the
proper support of the nervous system.
Hundreds of women who once suffered
from nervousness, write that they have
taken Hoods Sarsaparilla and nervousness
has disappeared. This was because Hoods
Sarsaparilla purified their blood.
