| met a hero of the highest type q
year ago among the mountaineers of
the Southwest, where one would hard
ly expect to find this particular sort.
He had killed a nan or two, and had
the reputation of being the gameSt man
in the mountains. He was extremely
handy with a gun, too, and everybody
gave him a wide berth whenever there
was a prospect of a row. Before | left
the neighborhood, however, he got into
difficulty with another man, and when
the shooting began he cut and run like
a deer. Two days later l met him Oh
the road and we talked about the affair.
II was rather surprised at the way
you acted" l said, as mildly as | could.
for even then l had no wish to stir
him up.
Il reckon most folks wuz," he re
piled briefly.
II know they were, and they don't
understand it. Neither do l."
We'll" he said, half alphabetically,
81 reckon | just run, and that was all
thar wuz to it,"
There was more than that: you lost
your reputation by it,"
"Mebbe, 1 did, colonel" and he swal-
lowed a lump in his throat; but that
thar Teller had seven little children de-
pendin' on him, an l kinder had an
idee jist afore l pulled trigger that
mebbe l could git along better with
out my reppertation than they could
without their daddy, so l run"
He stopped as if uncertain what to
say next, and l took him by the hand
and shook it with a vigor that 1 knew

into his eyes.

SUMMERS EVENING REVERE.

How sweetly serene was that sunset
scene;
The sky in the west was bright,
With a crimson glow, for the sun was
low;
Giving place to the shades of night.
Not a leaf was stirred, not a sound
was heard,
To mar that silent calm,
Save the plaintive wall of the nightin-
gale,
AS she chanted her evening psalm.
Then I wandered not from that sylvan
spot,
For in solitude I rejoice,
When methink l heard, from the prais-
ing bird,
A solemn-"still small voice!''
In a trembling frame, I breathed the
name
Of the Lord omnipotent.
And with appraised eyes to the vaulted
Were my knees devoutly bent.
In hat silent hour, in that woodland
I knew that my God was there;
And then on the sward, to my Savior
Lord.
Did my soul burst forth in prayer.
So my heart was stayed, In that upland
glade,
And a holy calm came DER me.
And a Savior's love, from the dome
above,
Revealed his pleading for me.
AS I homeward turned, how my spirit
burned,
To be up and to serve my God,
And l prayed that night to be kept
Alright
And to follow the footsteps he trod.
Ever since that night, is my journey
bright,
AS all nature with gladness teemed,
And l tread the earth in my new found
birth,
AS one of the Lords redeemed.
&C, Winnipeg.

from the Atlanta, Ga, constitutional

Foremost among the best known lawyers
And farmers of North Carolina stands Col.
Isaac A. Sugg of Greenville. Mr.. Sugg has
resided in Greenville twenty-five years.
While nearly every one in Pitt county
knows Mr., SIS history, perhaps all do not
know Of his return to business again after
an illness of sixteen years. No man has
gone through more than he and lived. It
was a case of the entire breaking down of
the nervous system, attended by excruciat-
ing, agonizing, uncomfortable pain. Opiates
and stimulants only quieted temporarily,
and all treatments failed him. Only his love
of family and friends prevented suicide.
He told a reporter the following interesting
story:
81 kept at my work as long as I could,
but nature gave way at last and l sue
Gus system had been shattered by the
stimulants and opiates 1 had taken, my
blood had actually turned to water, my
weight had dropped from 173 pounds to 1913
and it seemed to everybody that the end
was in sight. Why, I could not bear the gem
tie hand OF my wife to battle mylimbs with
tepil water. Twas simply living from hour
to hour l had made my will, settled my
business and waited for the last strand Of
life to snap.
"It was at this time that q somewhat
similar case as my own was brought to my
nOIlCo. In1S man mad suffered very much
as | had, his life had been despaired of as
mine had, and yet he had been cured.
Think what that little word meant to me-
CURED. The report stated that the work
had been accomplished by a medicine
known as DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. l investigated the report thor
oughly and oun that it was true in detail.
Then I procured some of DR.. Williams PINK
Pills and began taking them and began to
get better. l began to sleep like a health
full child, sould, calm and peaceful. My
appetite came back and my nerves were
soothed and restored to their normal condi-
ton and l felt lii a new man. But the
greatest blessing was the mental improve
ment. l began to read and digest, to formu-
late new plans, to take an interest in my
law practice, which began to come back to
me as soon as my clients realized that I
was again myself. After a lapse of ten
years l ride horseback every day without
fatigue.
"That DR.. Williams Pink Pills saved my
life is beyond doubt, and I am spreading
their praises far and wide"

fitted by DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

A Travelled st. bernard.

A st. Bernard dog whose acquaint-
ance any one might be proud to make
has lately given evidence of unusual
canine intelligence. Once or twice he
has accompanied his master to Newton
vile, the latter riding out on his wheel,
and both returning by rail and getting
off at Huntington Avenue station. The
other day the dog in some way missed
his master in the park and proceeded
on to Newtonville as had been his wont.
Whether he did not enjoy his call, OF
perhaps felt anxious about the one who
always looked to his welfare, is uncer-
tain, but after waiting a proper time
Mr.. Dog trotted off to the station, jump
ed on the first inward train that stopped
and when it reached Huntington ave-
nue., got off and went home like other
folks. The only thing about the per-
Torrance that reflects discredit on his
dogship is that he didn't buy a ticket,
but just hooked" his ride.-New York

A Faithful Veteran Fire Horse.

-
The intelligence of the horse under
systematic and careful training was
strikingly illustrated at the house Of
Pioneer Hose Company, No. 1, or Mon
day. Having an extra horse which
was idle, and desiring to gradually
train him for fire purposes. he was
substituted for the veteran fire horse,
Samuel.
For five years Samuel has been call
ed out by an alarm Grill each day at
noon by Driver Albert Glatz, but on
this day was taken out and securely
tied in the stable about 100 feet in the
rear Of the engine house, where he
seemed to feel lonely, dispirited and
forgotten.
When the usual noon alarm was
turned in and the firemen were in
structfng the new horse, a struggle was
heard outside, and through the rear
doors, the middle room and his stall,
Numbered Sam with broken halter.
Straight to his place he ran, pushed the
new horse out Of the way and placed
himself beneath the harness.
He seemed to resent the intrusion Of
The late arrival, and anxious to do his
duty. 1t is the intention to break the
new horse in and use him while rest
ing the others. Neither horse in the
department has been relieved from
duty n hour in over five y~ears.-San

II II now In Operation on the Streets
of London.
The latest development of electric
traction is the new electric parcel and
advertising van for ordinary roads, now
in use in London, BY a careful ar
rangement the working parts are re-
duced to a minimum. leaving the whole
Of the interior of the body free for
passenger or goods. The accumulators
supplying the motive power are sus-
pended in a special carrier beneath the
body of the van, so that a recharged
set may be substituted in two minutes
without interfering with the contents of
the van. The steering gear, which is
of the, greatest importance, is said to
be satisfactory, the driver having per-
feet control of the vehicle. The van
is also lighted by electricity, and is con-
trollcd by a single switch, giving six
degrees of speed. An estimate shows
that the cost of working a van by
electricity, equal to a two-horse vehicle,
including charging, maintenance, etc,
is about 4 cents per mile. The car
runs about thirty miles with each

JOHN BOYD THATCHER A WITNESS.
He Fully Verifies IA Disputed Worlds
Fair Aware.

John Boyd Thatcher is laconic and
decisive in his statements. During the
lively campaign just closed in New
York, this marked him especially as
chairman the Democratic State Com
mittee. 1t was equally true of him as
Chairman of the Executive Committee
Oh Awards at the Worlds Fair. This
is the positive and contentious way in
which he veri : in an official letter,
the honors won by DR.. Prices Baking
Powder: 81 herewith enclose you an
official copy of the award, which in
due time will be inscribed in the di-
ploma and forwarded" Thus the ques-
ton respecting the award, raised by
az envious New York rival, is settled
beyond cavil. This same rival. by the
way is widely advertising an award
for itself. The official records prove
this claim wholly false, as they show
the New York prctender was not so
u1h as an exhibitor at the World s
Fair.

A MORAL.

I had a little spot of ground
Where blade nor blossom grew;
Though the bright sunshine all around,
Life giving radiance threw,
| mourned to see a spot so bare
Of leaves of healthful green
And thought Of bowers, and blossoms
fair,
I frequently had seen.
Some seeds of various kinds lay by
| knew not what they were
But, rudely turning DER the soil,
l strewed them thickly there.
And day by day l watched them spring
From out the fertile earth,
And hoped for many a lovely thing
OF beauty and of worth.
But as 1 marked their leaves unfold
AS weeds before my view,
And saw how stubbornly and bold
The thorns and nettles grew
I sighed to think that 1 had done,
Unwittingly, a thing
That, where a beauteous bower should
thrive,
But worthless weeds did bring.
And thus l unused: The things we do
With little heed or ken
May prove of worthless growth, and
strew
With thorns the paths of men.
For little deeds, like little seeds,
May flowers prove, Obnoxious weeds.

A railroad to the top of the Jungfrau
has at last been authorized by the
Swiss government. 1t is to go up the
interior of the mountain in spiral tun-
nels, such al are used on the st. Go
thard line, to a point 1000 feet from
the summit. There the great needle
will be bored and provided with an
elevator carrying the traveller to the
peak. A narrow ridge at the top will
be leveled by blasting, and on the
space thus secured a hotel or restau-
rant will probably be built. And now
engineers are also thinking of a rail-
road up the Ma%tterhorn.

of which was designed by the late

eagle caused considerable excitement
In Evanston, Ind, the other day. The
bird was first seen in the neighbor-

Rocky mountains, and its wings meas
