A Scout Tells How Hs Was Initiated Into

Frank Grouard, the Indian scout, was
captured, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, by Sitting Bull and small
band Of followers when nineteen years
old, and remained with the Indians
during the next six years, greater
portion of the time In the camp of Sit
ting Bull, through whose influence he
was saved from torture and death.

From the Battle Creek, Mich, Noon.

This is indeed an inventive age Science
and art have Wed with each other in an en-
deavor to gee which could outstretch the
other. Every day the world is astonished
by the announcement Of some wonderful dis
cOvery or invention. Medical science has
made as great if not greater, sdvancements
in the past century than any other science
or art. Cures have been performed the past
quarter of century that in the days of our
fathers were deemed impossible. Miracles
have been performed the past few years that
are almost incredible, and which seem al
most as marvellous As those performed in the
olden time.
A Noon reporter, hearing an almost in
credible story Of the restoration TO health of
Mary G.. Gould, wife of John Gould, who

count satisfactorily for this. One per-
son says that the burglars don't hide

that seems a pretty vague sort of state

the idea that perhaps burglars never

CANNOT PASS THEM BY.
Even bargains In Which shs Has No Idea
of Investing Attract a Woman.

1t really might interest a psychologist
to determine why the large ma jority of
women cannot pass a counter of loosely
displayed dress goods, especially silks,
and still more especially II they are
marked as a bargain. without stopping
to finger one or more pieces. 1t doesn't
seem to matter in the least, says an ex-
change, whether or not she has the re-
hottest intention OF purchasing, her
hand goes out instinctively and fold
of the stuff Is rubbed critically between
her thumb and finger, sometimes ac-
companied by searching glance, but
quite ns often not. Perhaps the gloved
thumb and finger of the shopping wom-
an through long practice acquire a
familiar sensitiveness like the finger
tips OF the treasury girls who detect
counterfeit bills by highly developed
sense of touch. At any rate the most
casual observer of the shopping woman
must have noticed this almost universal
peculiarity-if not, let him station him
self for five minutes near a bargain
counter OF taffeta silks, for instance,
from a beautiful stock and marked
their price ninety-eight cents, ours
thirty-nine cents" and see how many
of the surging throng of women will
pass that counter without lingering the
silks, providing they can get within
arms length of the counter.

Sympathetic Heart Disease OFTEN At
tends L..


tends IL.
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 ! was a con-
slant sufferer from acute stomach trouble.
| had all the manifold symptoms Of acute
dyspepsia, and at times other troubles were
present in complication-l did not know
what il was to enjoy meal. No matter how
careful might be as to the quality, quantity
and preparation of my food, distress always
followed eating. | was respondent and blue,
almost TO the point of insanity at times and
would have been glad to die. Often and
often | could not sleep. Sympathetic heart
trouble set in, aud time and again ] was
obliged to call doctor in the night 10 re-
lieve sudden attacks Of sufocation which
would come on without moments warning.
MY troubles increased as time wore on,
and | spent large sums in doctor bills, being
compelled to have medical attendants al
most constantly. During 1892 and 1898 il
was impossible for me TO retain food, and
water brashes plagued me. | was reduced to
a skeleton. A consultation Of physicians
was unable TO determine just what did all
me. The doctors gave us as their opinion
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.
Samantha 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 friend to take DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. The result was almost
magical.
81 was led to try them from her experience,
and before many months | felt better than
| had for dozen years | am now almost
free from trouble, and if through some error
of diet | feel badly, this splendid remedy
sets me right again. / have regaincd my
strength and am once more in my usual
flesh. | sleep well and can eat without dis
tress. | have no doubt that | owe my re-
covery TO DR.. Williams Pink Pills / only
wish that i had heard of them years ago
thereby saving myself ten years of suffering
and much money"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all. the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
or may be had by mail from DIR. Williams

One hears some weird and uncanny
stories among the people who pass
through the Union depot from day to
day, says the Atlanta Constitution. Il
once knew a doctor who had very
thrilling experience" said a great tall
man in the waiting-room. THE doe
tor friend Of mine when he was
young man practiced medicine In one
of the towns Of the west. A very
beautiful daughter of one OF the
wealthiest men of the little town-and
the family was a cultured and refined
one, too-was taken sick with some
sort Of disease, and gradually tottered
down the hill till she died. This young
doctor attended the case from the be-
ginning He didn't understand the dis
ease bit. The young woman simply
began to fade, growing paler every
day, and finally becoming so weak that
she had 60 have assistance TO raise her
self the slightest bit from her pillow.
II was disease that puzzled all the
doctors None Of them could tell what
it was preying on her vitals so, and
finally when she died this young doc
tor, being ambitious in his profession
and wanting to learn all there was to
be learned, determined to ROB the grave
and make a post-mortem examination
of the subject, this having been refused
by the young woman's parents while she
was alive. One night he took his Office
boy and another person, whom he en-
ployed to help, and dug the body from
the grave. He made study OF the
case, and perhaps learned something
more about il than he would have ever
known from simple diagnosis while she
was alive. But that wasn't all. He
decided to make a skeleton of the sub
ject-as he had none-and was one day
scraping the skull and polishing it
when in stepped the father OF the girl
to pay the doctor his bill for attending
his daughter during her Hines. His
agitation and distur bance OF spirits can
more easily be imagined than told when
he arose to face the father Of the wom-
