NO COUNTRY FOR CHILLS.

And the Kind Samaritan Found Thnt
His Little Package Was Not Needed.
From the Detroit Free Press
The colonel suggested that take along
package Of quinine in my ride through
the swamp country, as the towns were
far apart and the drug beyond the reach
of many settlers. At 8 o'clock in the morn
ing l reached a cabin, to find the owner
and his wife and three children sitting out
in the sun. All had blue lips and haggard
faces, and all were shivering with a chill.

nine, and was about to undo the package
when he stopped me with a gesture and
said:
Stranger, we amt chillin' fur shucks,
but thar is them beyond us that ar. Leave
me plug of terbacker ard save yer kee
nine fur wusser cases"
On the doorstep of the next cabin sat
lone man. He was trying to scrape the
bark off sassafras root. but he shook and
shivered so hard that he could make no
progress. l told him l had some quinine
free gift, but he held up his shaking
hands and replied:
Stranger. this rain't no chillin' to be
cured by keenine, but is jst nervousness
for the want of sip of whisky. You'll
find chiin' further down the read"
gave him a sip from my flask, and at
Il sxt cabin found woman and two

and shivered and shook and clicked her
teeth together and / explained the OBJ

But haven't you chills and fever?"
"Wail, Sorter, but nuthin to brag of.

his shakes not only shook the bed, but the
whole cabin as well.
Tied h. 'un he 'un couldn't shake
off," explained his wife.
II see. He has it pretty bad. I will
leave all this quinine with you. and it
ought to cure him in a week or two"
"Keenine! What's that fur?"
ITO cure chills and fever. I'll fix dose

all about me. They shot my horse through

versary of his ministry the Rev. Dr. Hora-
ito Stebbins, pastor of the First Unitarian
Church, delivered an address to his congre-
cation yesterday morning that was rather
more of a retrosr ective and historical lee
ture than an orthodox Unitarian sermon.
After pointing to the mineral and agricul-
tural development of California, DIR. Steb-
bins said: Il think that dispassonate,
judicial historic mind, If you please, will
confess that the growth of California has
been disappointment. 1t has not been as
great as We expected: certainly not as
great as we hoped. Indeed, l think this
may be said of the whole western coast,
though the causes are not the same as
with US here.
There are encouraging signs of increaS
ing industry and economy, though We still
affect to deSpiSe a cent while the Treas
ury Of the United States can count it and
keep it. Let us remember, when We see,
in prophetic vision, the noble future before
us, that no people on earth are induStrially

dant room in their pockets for cent. and
time enough to count it before they let it

Thousands of tons of this mock marble
are made annually, and even men in the
trade can scarcely tell the difference be-
tween the real and the false article, for
the markings, or markings, go wholly
through the block, and are not merely
superficial. The basis Of the whole is
combination of limestone and chalk, which,
chemically treated. can be made of any
shade desired. The artificial marble in the
rough is placed in a water bath, and upon
this is sprinkled sort of varnsh, con-
sistng of sesquioxide of iron, gum and tur-
rentine, and all manner of marhled designs
are produced when the turpentine is broken
up By the addition of water.
Any pattern of marbling can be pro-
duced to order. One such pattern appears.

colors are fixed by the immersion of the

On nly first trip we had no particular

very large. All were we'll armed. Some
of them had had a chance to make such
name in border warfare as to cause the
evil-mnded reds to regard them with
Wholesome sort of respect and to be quite

the life of an Indian. / never quite under

He paused. There was a minute of per
feet silence. Two minutes. Inside the cir
Gle of wagons there was the support of
numbers-the blessing of companionship-
the hope of delay Outside there was tho
loneliness of the deSert-peopled with devils
i incarnate. Outside the chances for sudden
and cruel death were thousand to one.
No wonder brave men hesitated. 1 am
glad, however, to have 1t to say that

"Tige Black" said, turning to that in
dvidual, there is bad blood between us.
You challenged me, today, 10 life and

He looked out toward the night-toward
the unseen and unguessed dangers of the
distance-toward the fort so hopelessly far

danger better than l did, as much better as
his knowledge of life on the plains had been

Sides 1 think the animal man, in the ex-
tremity of danger, shrinks from death more
than the spiritual man. He had, too, un-

all who were left of them-were upon him.
