Away back in the early sixties Mr.
Ferguson was defending man accused
of beating his wife. The case was on
trial before justice of the peace, prob
ably the same justice who decided that
stealing sack of potatoes out of a canoe
was PIRACY on the high seas" The ac-
cused was convicted, and the justice
promptly sentenced him to be hanged.
But you can't hang a man for beat
ing his wife," expostulated Ferguson.
The devil can't said the justice,
bridling up. Amt he guilty. Oughtnt
any man to be hung who would beat a
woman and that woman his wife? And
amt the only judge in this county? If
| haven't got the power to hang a man,
who has, eb? I'll hang him within an
hour; won't we, boys" he concluded,
addressing the crowd standing around,
whose sympathies were evidently with
the woman.
THAT we WILL" shouted the crowd.
Seeing that the case was beginning to
look serious for his client, Ferguson said:
well, your honor, before the man is
hanged I'd like to take him out behind
that big tree and pray with him."
"All right" said the justice, and off
went the prisoner and Ferguson. When
they got behind the tree Ferguson said
in an undertone:

with the ceremony, he must declare

Pottery of the American Indians.

The pottery of the North American
Indian is in some respects like the dol
men pottery of Europe, although it diff
fers in many details of form, mode of
manufacture and ornamentation. The
North American Indian used neither
wheel nor furnace, nor did he, except
rarely, decorate it with colors. The clay
was frequently mixed with powdered
shells. The decoration of pottery made
in the eastern portion of the United
States was effected by incised lines and
dots with various combinations. The
spiral and volute were employed
Among the southern Indians much of
the decoration was made by the i'm
press of textile fabrics, sometimes with
only string or cord. In the interior and
principally on the Mississippi river the
pottery vessels were made to represent
sometimes the human face, sometimes
animals. There was a much greater
prevalence of the bottle form in the
United States than in Europe. The pre-.
historic pottery of Mexico and Central
America forms special group; that
from the pueblos of Arizona and New
Mexico another, while that made by the
North American Indian constitutes a
third group. Each of these has dis
tinctive characteristics Divide

Two large apple trees stand side by

and he followed them out among the
trees to see that the work was properly

packed in the barrels, the fruitgrower
decided that those two barrels should
separate in the orchard and not meet
again until on the exhibition table in the
Horticultural building at the fair. The
ED apples were to go east, and the yell

reached London. Here it was taken
from the boat and sent by railroad to
Liverpool. Then the barrel of New
South Wales fruit was loaded into an
ocean racer and started on its way
across the Atlantic to New York, whence
it came to Chicago by railroad. 1t was
just 66 days to an hour when Thomas
Pugh the assistant general superin-
tendent Of the New South Wales ex-
hibit, received it.
In the meantime the red apples had
crossed the Pacific ocean to San Fran

by freight to Chicago. After numerous
delays along the way the apples arrived.
They had been SO days on the way and

Teeth OF the Beaver.

The beaver is armed with two long
chisellike teeth in each jaw. These
teeth are exceedingly powerful and are
to q beaver what an AK is to woods
man. One such tooth taken from the
lower jaw of a medium sized skull (they
can be removed without difficulty, I'M
like the most of ours) is bent into near
ly semicircle and measures inches
along its outer curve. Only one inch of
this length projects from the skull. The
corresponding one from the upper jaw
is bent into more than a complete half
circle and measures upon its outer face
4 inches, of which less than an inch
protrudes from its bone casing. In
width each tooth is five-eighths of an
inch. Examination of one of them re-
veals the secret of how beaver can per-
form such feats as chopping down a
birch tree 16 inches in diameter, not to
speak of softer woods, like the bass.

Interesting experiments are now being
tried in England by royal commission
on tuberculosis. A COW is selected and
for considerable time is watched care
fully to see that it is free from disease
1t is then fed for some days on food in
fected with the bacteria and tuberculosis,
and afterward time is allowed for the
development of the infection.
The commission is to report whether
meat and milk from such animals are in
fective, and if SO the degree to which the
use of them is likely to affect public
health.
The experiments, which are necessarily
slow, have consumed much time. The
commission met recently to consider the
results SO far arrived at, but the final re-
port will probably not be made before

In view of the care with which this

KING RHEUMATISM.
HIS REIGN is OVER AT LAST.
Medical Science Drives Him From His
Throne. A Medicine Discovered that
Rheumatism Cannot Resist. A
Boon for Sufferers.
From The 81. Louis, No., Chronicle

IRON me 81. LOUIS, NO., Chr0n1cte.)
The effect of using DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for rheumatism was brought to
light lately by Chronicle reporter who
interviewed John Ferguson of 1899 South
Broadway, St. Louis, who had been
sufferer with this incapacitating disease.
"Those pills." he said, "have proved
of great benefit not only to me, but to
my wife. Strange to say, we both suf-
fered from the same ailment, although
my wife's condition was much worse
than mine. Neither of us could sleep at
night; we had sharp, shooting pains in
our arms, sides and limbs, and con-
tinual soreness all over the body. What
we suffered from was nothing more or
less than rheumatism. At times my
wife had to crawl upstairs on her hands
and knees, and as for me, | would at
night twitch and jerk despite my utmost
efforts to control myself. We suffered
the torture OF the damned.
"But in three weeks the pain began
to leave us. My case not being as severe
as my wife's | soon got well, but it took
nearly three months before Mrs. Fergu-
son could say she was entirely free from
rheumatic pains. OF course, recon-
mend DR.. Williams Pink Pills to all my
friends"
Mr.. Ferguson's words are Endorsed by
T. A. Campbell, an iron worker living
on Chouteau avenue. He, too, had been
afflicted with rheumatism contracted
from working in damp foundry. He
said: zone day ! was seized with chills
