POT LUCK IN THE MOUNTAINS.
A Grouse Shot with Revolver and Trout
Caught with Improyised Tackle.

A Grouse Shot with q Revolver and Trout
Caught with Improvised Tackle.
Talking of good eating, one of the
best meals ever had was in the south
ern Colorado mountains. was on the
last stretch of a two hundred mile
journey alone on horseback. To save
my horse 1 had taken along as little
truck as could do with, SO that on the
morning when started out to make
the last fifty miles of my route my
total provisions consisted of some cof-
fee and part of a can of condensed milk.
knew that if / couldn't raise some
thing to eat on my way was going to
go hungry for the rest of my long days
journey. As luck would have it came
upon Mexican shepherds house in a
little valley about the middle of the
forenoon, and turned off to see what l
might find there. The men were away
from home with their sheep so l could
could get no meat and all could buy
was a half loaf of bread.
Noontime found me with thirty miles
to go and wolfshly hungry. Right
ahead was just the sort of a place for
trees with plenty of cool green grass,
and a mountain stream coming down
out of a canyon. l had made up my
mind to dinner of dry bread and cof
fee, when, directly ahead, a plump
young mountain grouse flew up from
the ground and lighted upon a low
limb that overhung the path, and sat
there looking at me as much as to say
I've come to make you a dinner He
was so near and stood so still that 1
shot his head off with my revolver.
Feeling better on the subject of din
ner, l picketed my horse out to Craze
among the trees, started little fire,
and picked my grouse. The ripple of
the stream suggested the thought: Il
wonder if there isn't a trout waiting
for me in that eddy under the bank?'
l crawled to the edge and looked down
into the little pool. Under the shadow
of the bank half dozen fine trout
were lying side by side as close as sar-
dimes in box. 1 worked back to my
saddle, got out fish hook and line,
which every Colorado mountain trav-
eler should carry, caught grasshOpper
for bait, and with a dead tree branch
for rod dropped my line into the pool
The biggest trout-a pound and half
fellow-rose to it and in a moment
more was Hopping upon the grass.
l let the fire down to a bed of hot
Goals. The trout opened along the
back, basted him with the fat of the
grouse, then stuck the bird and the
trout upon sticks over the Goals to
roast. There was no lack of salt for
seasoning; and my dinner of trout,
grouse, bread. and coffee was great
one. l picked the fish's bones clean
and then those of the grouse. The
bread was dark and sOggy, but sweet,
and l ate it to the last crumb. My cof-
fee made in the tin cup from which
drank it was delicious. As 1 smoked
my after dinner pipe, watching my
horse fill up on the green grass, felt
that 1 could say with the epicurean
rhymster: Fate cannot harm me,
have dined to-day."-N. Y. Sun.

ACUTE DYSPEPSIA.
Sympathetic Heart Disease Often
Attends It.
The Modern Treatment Consists in Re-
moving the Cause.

(From the Republican, Cedar Rapids, TolrG)
Mrs. V. Curley, who has resided in Clar-
ence, Iowa, for the past twenty-five years,
tells an interesting story of what she con-
siders rescue from premature death. Her
narrative is as follows:
''For ten years prior to 1894 I was con-
slant sufferer from acute stomach trouble.
1 had all the manifold symptoms of acute
dyspepsia, and at times other troubles were
present in complicatiOn-I did not know
what it was to enjoy meal No matter
how careful l might be as to the quality,
quantity and preparation of my food, dis
tress always followed eating. l was de-
spondent and blue Almost to the point Of
insanity at times, and would have been glad
to die. Often and often 1 could not sleep.
Sympathetic heart trouble set in, and time
and again was obliged to call doctor in
the night to relieve sudden attacks of suffo-
cation which would come on without a
moments warning.
NY troubles increased as time wore on,
and 1 spent large sums in doctor bills,
being compelled to have medical attendants
almost constantly. During 1892 and 1898 it
was impossible for me to retain food, and
water brashes plagued me. Twas reduced
TO a skeleton. A consultation of physicians
was unable to determine just what did all
me- The doctors gave US as their opinion
that the probable trouble was liberation of
the coats of the stomach, and held out no
hope of recovery. One doctor said: ''All
can do to relieve your suffering is by the use
of opium.
About this time a friend of mine, Mrs.
Symantha Smith, of Glidden, Iowa, told
me about the case of Mrs. Thurston, of Ok
ford Junction, Iowa. This lady said she
had been afflicted much the same as had.
She had consulted local physicians without
relief, and had gone to Davenport for treat
ment. Giving up all hope of recovery, she
was persuaded by a friend to take DR..
Williams Pink Pills. The result was al
most magical.

By not sowing Salzer's seeds! That Is.
what jolly farmer said as he entered
our sanctum. How is that? Why.
says he, Salzer's seeds not only grow
but they produce enormously. Had T
planted few acres more of his oats,
wheat, corn, potatoes, grass and clover
seeds, would have had to double the
capacity of my barns; that would have
cost me 81 200. 1t is fact that if you
want big, rousing farm, grass and vege-
table crops, you must sow Salzer's seeds

about the matter, leaving out all the

There were then existing In Geneva a
society called the Society OF Public IT'LL

decided to call upon this society for help.
