FROG AND TOAD ORCHESTRA
The Midsummer Nights Hum of Insects
Couutrrf-it~d In April

The Midsummer Nights Hum OF Insects
Countrrf-it-d In April
The first hot night of the year came
upon the suburbs with a young moon
and many stars. 1t was a midsummer
sky with mild fires dimly revealed,
and between a sort of semiluminous
ether, wonderfully soft, and suggest
ing phosphorescent sea The char
acteristic southwestern summer breeze
was blowing, though not with sufli-
cient force to disturb the tranquility
of the night Even the midsummer
night insect hum was counterfeited by
the music of many frogs and toadS
The little fellows of the marshes were
singing together in silvery, sleigh-bell
chorus, and their larger brethren now
and then broke across the volume of
music with deep, contemplative croak-
Tree toads. and the wart toads of the
grass, added soft futings to tho vol
ume of sound, until all the air rang
with this strange orchestra It was not
so strident as the true insect orchestra
of August. The harsher and keener
stringed instruments were wanting; it
seemed, indeed, mainly made of wind
instruments
There was a fitful double bass to
the orchestra, coming from the hori-
zon's edge, nothing less than the puff
and rumble of trains on half a dozen
suburban railways, softening into uni
son with the general volume of lighter
sounds The horizon was vocal, too,
with the continuous yelping of dogs,
as IL the Observers peaceful center
had been quarry Of game against
which n thousand hounds in leash
were baying. The half-dreaming song
of some new-come bird occasionally
broke in upon the frog music
This soothing volume of small music
al voices kept up all night long. 1t
was full at midnight, when the moon
had long since vanished and the sky
had lost something of its tropical sug-
gestion. Dawn comes early these
days, and at four o'clock the frog cho-
rus had given place to the tiresome
caclxle Of the high-hole, the strong lit
of the robin, and the long musical kiss
OF the lark, rising dew-wet from the
meadows-New York Sun.

FOR COUNTRY'S SAKE.
An Indian Fighter Suffers Agonies
from Disease.
He Was IN the Battle with the Apaches
When Geronimo Was Captured.
From Me Press, Ne,r York CRn.

From the Press, Neic York CITY.
Worn with the exposure of army life on
/ the frontier, and poisoned By the continual
drinking of alkali water, Joseph Flegauf
returned to Philadelphia eight years ago,
| broken down in health ard unable to do
any work.
He had served five years with the Ninth
/ United States Infantry in many a desperate
/ fight with the Indians in Arizona and other
/ frontier States and had won an enviable
record. In the fierce conflict when Geron-
imo, the famous chief of the Apaches, was
captured, Mr.. Flegauf was among the brave
soldiers who, forgetful of everything but
duty, charged upon the hostile Indians.
Life on the plains sent 10 an untimely
death many soldiers who were never touched
by redskins bullet or arrow, and Mr.. Fle-
gauf came near such n fate as that. A long
time before his time was out he was taken
seriously i'll, but he stuck TO his post until
an honorable discharge was finally given to
him.
When he reached Philadelphia, the Indian
fighter was scarcely more than skin and
bones. and for q rec weeks he lay desperate
ly i'll in q hospital. He felt dizzy, and his
stomach felt as If it had dried up. These
symptoms were accompanied by bloody
dyseutery, which nc medicine seemed to re-
hevc.
After two years of suffering. Mr.. Flegauf
eral physicians. These did not agree, some
calling his disease catarrh of the stomach,
and others chronic diarrhea,
la speaking to reporter about his Illness
Mr.. Flegauf said the doctors helped him,
but, with all the money he spent for advice
and medicine, he was able to work only a
small part of the time. Since moving to
his present home, No. 5l7 West Forty-sec-
ond Street, in New York, about a year ago,
Mr.. Elegant has been so i'll that his voice
and hearing almost left him.
Then all medicines failed, and the sick
man had little hope of recovery. At this
critical time DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People were recommended to Mr.. Fle-
gauf, and, almost as q last hope, he began
taking them.
1.-The beneficial effect Of tho medicine was
felt at once" Mr.. Flegauf told the reporter,
''and before l had taken box began to
eat with relish. Three boxes made me so
much better that / began work and have
been able to keep at il since, for five months" {"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are not patent medicine in the sense that
name implies. They We're firstcompounded
as prescription and used as such in gen.
eral practice by an eminent physician. So
great was their efficacy that it was deemed
wise to place them within the reach of all.
They are now manufactured by the DIR.

lie are cautioned against numerous imita-
tions sold in this shape) at - cents a box, or

A PARsoN AND A PIG.
what Was Effective In One Case Was Tried
In the 0ther.


In the Other.
A poor woman came to the parson of
the parish with the request: please,
pass'n, my old sow be took cruel bad.
wish, now, you'd be so good as to
come and say prayer over her."
"A prayer! Goodness preserve usl /
cannot come and pray over a pig-a
pig. my dear Sally-that is not possi-
BILE"
"IIer be cruel bad, groaning, and
won't eat her meat. III her dies, pass'n
-whativer shall we do i the winter
wi'out bacon sides and ham? On,
dearl Do'y. now, pass'n. come and say
q prayer over my old SOW"
~ really. really must not degrade
my sacred Office. Sally, indeed, must
not!''
"Oa, pass'nl Do'y now" and the
good creature began TO sob
The parson was n tender-hearted
nan and tears were too much. He
agreed to go to the cottage, see the
zig, and do what he could.
Accordingly, he visited the patient,
which lay groaning in the stye.
The woman gazed wistfully at the
pastor and waited for the prayer.
Then the clergyman raised his right
hand, poiuted with one finger at the
SOW and said, solemnly: "If thou liv-
est, o pig, then thou livest If thou
diest. o pig. Their thou diest"
Singrlarly enoA gh, the sow was bet
ter that same evening and ate q little
wash. She was we'll and had wholly
recovered her appetite next day.
Now, it happened, some months after
this that the rector fell very i'll with a
quipsy that nearly choked him. lie
could not swallow, he could hardly
breathe. His life was in imminent
danger.
Sally was a visitor every day at the
rectory and was urgent TO see the sick
man. She was refused admission, but
pressed so vehemently that finally she
was suffered-just to see him, but she
was warned not to speak to him or
expect him to speak, as he was unable
to utter word.
She was conducted to the sick-room
and the door thrown open There she
beheld the pastor lying in bed, groan-
ing. almost in extremis
Raising her hand, she pointed at him
with one finger and said: IF thou
livest, o pass'n, then thou livest! II
thou diest, o pass'n, then thou diest"
The effect on the sick man was-an
explosion of laughter that burst the
quinsy and he recovercd.-Sunday

GladneSS Comes
LATith better understanding of tho

With n better understanding of tho
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper cf-
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis.
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt-
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its benc-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of n laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way TO euro deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused By an infiamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when il is
entirely closed deafness is the result and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored 10 its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

4 BAD RUNAWAY.

Monday afternoon while Andrew
Larson's team was standing in front
of j. D. Humiston's implement stand
on 4th Ave. Larson stepped over the
front end Of the wagon onto the
tongue to arrange the harness. The
horses became frightened and ran up
10th street, throwing him under the
wheels, tearing his clothes and broke
one fin ger of the right hand at a
number of different places; other
fingers were injured and may have TO
be amputated. The team turned at
the Worthington hotel corner and
ran about two miles east where they
were caught uninjured. This run-a-
way frightened A. E. Tuttle's team
attached to light wagon and hitch
ed in front of r. w. McCune's SO
that they broke loose and ran up
10th street aud turned at the Worth
ington Bank corner toward the lake,
running around the court house
block and were caught on 4th Ave.
The buggy was injured but little, but
one of the horses had the bones
broken between the ankle and the
hoof. DR.. Gould took the animal in
charge and attempted to save it from
being killed, but was obliged to do
