A FATAL TURKEY SHOOT.

It Had Sad Ending to the Dearest
Friend of One of the Gunners.
From the Minneapolis Journal.
To the pioneers of North Dakota, par
ticularly that class who had occasion to
"stage it" back in the days when the
snort of the iron horse had not been
heard on the then sparsely-settled prai-
ries, the name of "Bill' Gidley was as
familiar as that of Colonel H. Stevens is
to the Minneapolitan. Bill was a stage
driver, one of those great, good ma tured
souls, whose face dilated between a broad
grin and hearty guffaw. His arrival at
stage station was a signal for merri-
ment from the Office to the kitchen, from
cellar to garret. He was a privileged
character Bill Gidley, notwithsta nding
his rough, unpublished manner, was al
ways the gentleman, and had as
tender heart as ever beat in human
breast. Gidley's friends little thought
that cloud would sweep across the life
of the big stage driver which would for
ever hide from view the smile which had
been for many years a light along the
route.
Thirteen years ago, on Thanksgiving
day. there was a turkey shooting match
at Bismarck. Bill was there: he went to
see the sport, and while not an expert
shot, " lowed he'd just kill off what few
turkeys, these ere fellows have got" Af-
ter number of unsuccessful shots BilPs
friends began to make sport of his
craftsmanship. One of them, pointing to
a little outbuilding standing some 30 rods
distant, remarked: "Bill, you can't hit
that shack over there" Gidley clapped
his rife to his shoulder. pulled the trig-
ger, the door to the shack swung open
and Bills best friend fell at the entrance
shot through the heart That was l3
years ago. Gidley is still staging 1t in
the Black Hills country, but his old-time
friends would hardly recognize him. The
face once wreathed in smiles is a picture
OF sadness; no more are heard the jolly
stories and pleasantries that used to lend |
a light to the station. A heart-broken
man, he passes his leisure time in COM
parative solitude.

q bright and happy one.
The truest thing about disease is that
most of it is needless. Nine-tenths of it
can be subdued by very simple remedies.
Even that most dreadful malady, con-
sumption, can be cured in o8 cases out
of hundred, if it be treated in its early
stages with DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
Consumption is a disease caused by
impurity of the blood, and the first thing
to be done in its treatment is to make
the blood pure, rich and wholesome.
That is half the battle. The other half
Is the impregnation of the blood with
cleansing, healing, invigorating medi-
cines. The Golden Medical Discov-

II Of all impurities and from the vantage
ground so gained, reaches out to every
FIBER of the body and restores all to
perfect vigor. 1t cures many diseases,
simply because many diseases spring
from a set of common causes. The same
disorder may lead to different symptoms
in different people. What might be only
a little indigestion in one person, may
combine with a slight cold in another
and result in consumption. A treatment
that tones up the whole system is always
the safest. A medicine that is good for
the general health is pretty sure to cure
ordinary diseases. Six cents in stamps

A Bluff That Worked.

A good story on the late S. S. Merrill
cropped out in certain law Office yester
day afternoon while a knot of attorneys
were commenting upon the portraits of
prominent Milwaukeeans in a recent work
on Milwaukee. Mr.. Merrill's likeness was
reached when one of the gentlemen, ia re-
lating anecdotes concerning the railroad
builder, told of the trouble he had had
with certain conductor on the St. Paul
road.
Mr. Merrill had discharged the conduct
or half q dozen times and quite regularly
reinstated him. On this particular occa-
sion the conductor had been summoned and
entered the room in fear and trepidation.
He found the general manager glowering
with rage and was speedily informed that
his services were needed no longer, and
that this time his dismissal was for good.
''Whats the matter this time?' VEN
tured the culprit.
Its this, - blurted the general man
ager. I'm tired of listening to stories of
my conductors buying 81, 500 diamonds on
$1,000 salary
Il suppose this is the diamond you refer
to, Mr.. Merrill, - returned the quick wit
ted conductor, pointing to a small head
light in his shirt front.
81 suppose so, assented the irate man
ager.
"Well, - continued the conductor calmly
as he proceeded to unfasten the gem, you
may have it for So
That settled the conductor with Mr..
Merrill, and he never received another rep
rimand. Mr.. Merrill used to relate the in
cident at times, never for moment sus-
pecting the bluff and that the stone had
really cost 81, 500, as he had heard.-Mn-

It was midnight. Dark clouds gathered
in the autumn sky; wild gusts of wind,
sobbing as intervals, heralded the coming
tempest
The stately old house was wrapped in
repose. No sign of life appeared anywhere,
except in the Eastern turret chamber,
where faint light glimmered like dis
tant beacon. Stealthily and cautiously
postern gate was pushed softly open, and
the trembling form of slim young maid
en- stepped forth on the gEaveied walk. At
the same time tall, dashing young Off
Ger emerged from the shadow of the trees.
He was wrapped in a military riding
cloak. Taking the fair girls hands in
his, he pressed them fondly to his lips.

AS a Matter of Fact,

Lightning Hot Drops is certainly a
grand thing to have in the house. 1t
is pleasant remedy to use, and is
wonderfully effective in all the minor
ills of man and beast. 1t is always
ready for external and internal use,
and when sweetened the little folks
like it. And it affords such a quick
and complete release from the pain
and misery of wounds and acute dis
orders and all sorts of aches and pains
that after we have once got acquaint-
ed with its work we buy it again and
again.
There is nothing 'just like it, or
'just as good" made. Lightning
Hot Drops stands alone and unap-
proachable as an internal remedy and
pain destroyer. So don't be coaxed
into buying something else when you
have asked for Lightning Hot Drops,
you'll regret it if you do. The soc.
size holds ? u times as much as 25c.
size, and both sizes are worth a great
deal more than the price asked.
Lightning Hot Drops cure LaGrippe
and breaks up bad cold.
Mr.. Ira F. Brown. of Enon, KY,
writes; Last February my father
was kicked in the temple by mule,
and we all thought him dead; sent for
a doctor, and when he arrived l was
applying Lightning Hot Drops to my
fathers wounded temple and head.
The doctor, after an examination, said
he could do nothing for my father,
but advised me to continue bathing
him freely with Lightning Hot Drops.
We did so; my father soon regained
his senses, and is now entirely we'll.
We only applied three accent bottles.
l consider Lightning Hot Drops a
most powerful and efficient prepare
