There were no churches in the whole region
around. and SO the settler used to slip his
mallet and chisel into his pocket, sly out into
the woods and chisel passages of scriptures
on the rocks. Pretty soon, so industrious

farm some holy precept, some apothegm,
some stern commandment, some helpful word

had tongues for him and others who labored

One huge bowlder he smoothed and rounded

ten commandments In letters three inches

wary hunter stealthiy awaited the approach
of game into the valley below.
The arrow points from the mud of the
swamp and from the earth from the deeper

size and inelegance not indicate that the men
who made them depended more on mass and
weight Of material than on neatness and
skill OF execution?
Those from the surface and from the shall
lower excavations are smaller, of material
better adapted to take on the desired form,

DR.. SWEET AND AARON BURR,
Vice President of the United States Under
Thomas Jefferson.
CURE OF TREODOSIA BURR.

1t was not the privilege of DR.. Sweet to save
from fatal poisoning by calomel administered
as alleged by his old fogy physicians, the i'm
mortal Washington, but it was his good for.
tune to rescue Vice President Aaron Burr's
daughter Theodosia from possible death after
all hope of recovery had been abandoned by
the eminent surgeons in attendance. Thrown
from her horse while leading holter-skelter
the bravest in the chase, the lovely and in
trepid girl received serious dislocation of
the hip. The mad gayety of the throng was
turned into mourning. Homeward and ten
derby they bore her. 1t was sad home-com-
ing for the brilliant yet audacious vice presi-
dent of the United States when the bereaved
and heart-broken father returning from the
capital, beheld his dearly beloved daughter
lying helpless upon bed of pain. Surgeons,
hard by tearfully admitted their inability to
reduce the dislocation. The fame of the great
Rhode Island natural bonesetter had filed
all the adjacent country. Why not
send for Sweet? Q some bystander ex-
claimed. Ridicule and contempt mantled the
faces of the medical wise men. 1t is ridicu-
lous, quoth one. 1t is scandalous, exclaimed
another. Thus they murmured among them
selves. 1t was q critical moment. SADDLE

over the hills to Rhode Island, the home of
the famous bonesettel. In due time the doc
tor arrived, when he found a notable con-
course of distinguished gentlemen assembled.
They proved to be the surgeons above alluded
to, who seemed anxious to witness the discom-
future Of the Rhode Island doctor. Perceiving
their purpose, DR.. Sweet, much to their cha
grin, requested to be left alone for a moment
with the patient That moment was enough:
The hip was instantly reduced, when he po-
litely invited the young lady to arise and
walk. Taking her by the hand, DR.. Sweet led
Miss Burr to the middle of the apartment,
when he threw open the door of the room
through which the surgeons had emerged,
exclaiming in his blandest tones, "Gentlc-
men, your patient"

BOneSetter Sweet Family,
OF RHODE ISLAND.

1t is not remarkable to find much that is
legendary associated with the family history
OF those who, for more than two centuries,
nave inhabited this land, and whose promin-
ence has been as conspicuous as that of the
wonderfully gifted natural Doncsetters Sweet
of Rhode Island. 1t is related that DR.. James
Sweet, landing on the Rhode Island coast in
1886, among the Narragansett Indians, was
called upon by King Philip, the wonderful
chief of that tribe, to reduce fractured limb
for his favorite daughter. Being successfully
accomplished lasting friendship resulted
therefrom between the doctor and his dusky
brother, which was rewarded by the revelation
to his benefactor of many valuable secrets in
Indian herbal medicine, which have been pre-
served as hoirlooms in the Sweet family to
this day. oCardiff Wales, was the home of the
Sweets, where for more than a century prior
to emigrating hither they attained great cele-
brity as natural bonesetters and doctors.
Tradition maintains that between DIR. Sweet
and the dusky maiden whom he CALAMITY
rescued from life of misery, the tender pas
sion attained full fruition, eliminating in
that magnificent, yet savage pageantry of
marriage so religiously observed by the chief
tains Of the kings of the forest. From this
union has descended long line of eminent
natural ply sicians, bonesetters and famous
surgeons, who strangely endowed with "the
healing power" have startled the world of
science with their almost superhuman gifts
Diseases, pronounced absolutely incurable
by ordinary methods, when falling under the
marvellous power of these great natural heal
ers. disappear as if by magic. In proof of this
the universal voice of the people of the
country is outspoksn and free.

UnAFrES XIII.

Hawkins left Ridgeley fury incarnate,
o man whose one purpose was the abase-
ment Of his enemies. He would speak
out, he told himself, if it cost him death
twice over Who was this young Allen
Fauntleroy to be setting metes and
bounds to his conduct? Truly, he had
something to lose. His race had always
held high heads, lorded it in their pride
Of place even more than the naughty
Overtons Hehad pocketed their affronts
along with their coin. Now, if he must
lose by them, they should find he had
teeth and claws
That is, his wrath was cooling q little,
If he was perfectly sure there was no
further chance of profit. Why would not
that old man die? The girl must be as
wax in hands that knew how to mold
her, for all she had stood up so sturdily
in face Of her grandfather She would
hardly marry Allen even if She were
free. Why not then-Hawkins threw
his horse upon its launches in the recoil
from the idea 1t was great 1t was su-
PERIL The wonder was he had not
thought of it before. If only he could
bring it successfully to pass, thenceforth
he could snap his fingers at niggard for
tunes frown.
Presently the road ran past a country
store. Hawkins halted, called for q
cigar, and as the storekeeper fetched q
light said, with studied indifference:
"Seems to me recollect you at the
Townley place. Who is it that's dead
there? Him or his widder?"
"'Tain't his widder, that's mighty
certain. Iseen her last week as lively as
ever. But Jim Townley, he's dead
Been dead three years She's wearin
second mournin fer him and has got a
new set of teeth" the storekeeper re-
turned, with grin. To his mind it was
evident that this "town feller" was
'spellin round" with a view to finding
out if the Widow Townley was incon-
solable. Hawkins next question con-
fEmed his opinion, for that gentleman
asked Dr1skly:
HAS she got children2 How manyr"
mary chick ner child" returned the
other, with wink.
"H-m-ml Good place there fer er lazy
man, Hawkins said "Say, has she got
any beaux9"
'"That / cain't sw'ar to ner against
