SCIATlC RHEUMATISM AND ITS
------ CURE,


From the Gazette, Burlington, Iowa.
Tho story of Mr.. Tabor's nearly fatal At
tack of sciatic rheumatism is familiar to
his large circle Of acquaintsnces, but for
the benefit of others and those similarly
afflicted the G',zette has investigated the
matter for publication. Mr. Tabor II Sec.

Street, Burlington, la. A Gazette man
sought an interview with Mr.. Tabor at his
place of business today. and, although he
was busily engaged with imperative duties,
he talked freely and fselingly on the sub
ject of his recent severe sickness and sub
sequent wonderful cure.
''Yes," said MIR. Tabor, II can safely say
that am a well man, that is, my old trouble
but / am still taking Pink Pills and will
keep on taking them long as continue
to grow stronger and healthier, as / have
been every day since began to use them.

Negro po..e..lon. in Georgia.

Governor Atkinson, in his message to
the Georgia legislature, gives some in
teresting facts as to the ownership of
property by Georgia negroes Among
other things he states that in Georgia
in 1880 the negroes returned $5,764, ,2s3
worth Of property for taxation. This
year the amount Of property they re-
turned was $12,941 ,230. In 1893 they re-
turned property to the amount of about
$15,0OO.OO0. The falling off between 1898
and 1895 does not indicate that they
have taken step backward in the mat
ter Of accumulating property. 1t only
means that during the hard times they
thought they were poorer, and hence
did not return their property at as high
valuation.-Columbia Is. c. Regis

tie Gulch but dreaded her acts of ghost
ly vengeance. 1t wasia romantic story
in its way. and the more he thought Of
1t the more 1t came to him that Anna
bel Lee" was not so inappropriate
after all, and might bring some comfort
to the fitting spirit. For Carl 7as sure
it was none other than the ghostly Wis
itor at his window who had entered his
cabin in his absence, and now, yes,
there was another presence in the
casing, but for moment he found it
absolutely impossible for him to tarn
around and face 1t.
But it was not necessary for him to
look this time, for his visitors were
each and all most tangible and more
over they were eager to make known
their presence. Ir .4.r.....-.....
Carl sprang to his feet in amazement
when a half dozen rough-clad miners
slouched through the door and stood
in threatening group before him. He
knew instantly why they had come,
and then, curiously enough, the warn
ing of the dead girls face flashed sud
denly upon him. '"i.-
"Too bad she couldn't have oeeped in
at me sooner" he muttered beneath
his breath, "fOr then at least I could
have had my weapon and been ready
for this gang of ruffians." IN

coarsely, as he noticed CARTS evident
agitation. "You thought you'd kivered
your tracks, you dog, an that we wuz
all so stoopid in the Gulch at we
wouldn't find out you wuz spotter."
Carl recovered himself instantly and
leaning back, now perfectly composed,
placed his elbow on the rude pine man

"You are six to one. Mr.. Johnson" he
said coldly.' "If you are not afraid of
me, send your men outside and we will
have word In private"
The moment his words escaped his
lips he was surprised at the conster-
nation that he saw before him. In an
instant it occurred to him that they, too,
bad seen the apparition, and were
thoroughly frightened Of the darkness.
There's no use taikin' to us to-
uight," the man Johnson said, with
oerceptible shudder. for we've seen
he Spirit of the Gulch. an one an all
we've had our warnin'."
Then as If the courage of his crowd
rested alone on prompt activity, he
drew long, black rope from his pocket
and looped it over convenient rafter.
Carl Manning braced himself and
,ooked the man squarely in the eye as
1e finished his ominous contrivance-
"Call me what you WILL" he said
luietly. 81 came out here in the inter-
ssts of the mine to learn exactly what

CHASTITY face distinctly. Ns lAEp.- .s
my God! How horrible! he cried
involuntarily. and then. as the face dis
appeared as suddenly as. 1t came. he
caught his hat from the peg by the door
and rushed out into the darkness after
It. ~
Carl had been at Little Gulch only a
short time, but even a trifling stay was
long enough to learn the story of that
ghastly apparition. A miners daughter
mad been cruelty murdered here in the
Guich years ago, and on every gusty,
moonlight night her face was seen at
some shanty window. and here Carl
paused in his hurried race. for he re-
membered the end of the tradition.
To see that face means death or
trouble" he whispered in The darkness,
and then he grasped his stout stick
tighter. There's always trouble in the
world" he muttered philosophically,
and If 1t wasn't for Kitty should say
that death was welcome"
He caught his hat just as an eddying
gust raised it deftly from his head. and
then seeing how foolish was his search

slowly from the task he had undertaken
and went back to his book in the little
shanty. ....'.
1t was a copy Of Poe that he was
reading, and as he picked 1t up again
ne was amazed to find that the page
where he had stopped so suddenly had
been completely torn across the middle.
he stared at 1t vacantly at first, but
there 1t was, the beautiful rhythm OF
'Annabel Lee" torn In a Jagged line, as

Carl sat, down with his back to the
window and began to ferret the matter
out. H- .

Quized, "but to come in while was
