An Unprovoked Assault.

Last Saturday evening Chris
Jackson made an unproyoked as
sault upon Mr.. E. L. Duyckinck at
the latter's home near Zion.
Renno's saw mill is located on Mr..
Duyckinck's place and Jackson has
been employed cutting timber.
Last Saturday evening he got drunk
and went up to Mr.. Duyckinck's
house to hunt trouble. When Mr..
Duyckinck appeared and asked
Jackson his business the latter
struck him in the face, knocking
him down and loosening several of
his teeth. After hard struggle
Mr.. Duyckinck succeeded in regain
ing his feet and securing a pitch
fork ordered Jackson back to the
camp. Jackson started for him
again and was knocked down with
a blow from the fork. Mr.. Duy-
ckinck then substituted a club for
the fork and again started to escort
Jackson from the premises. After
going a few yards Jackson again
assaulted Mr.. Duyckinck and re-
ceived another blow over the head
with the club. This warfare was
kept up until the camp was reached,
Jackson being pretty thoroughly
dubbed and Mr.. Duyckinck con-
siderably bruised. The following
evening Mr.. Duyckinck drove to
Rising Sun and had warrant issued
for Jackson's arrest, but when the
constable arrived the bird had
flown to his home in Oxford.

Wells, Richardson q Co., Burling-
ton, VT: Gentlemen-I take much
pleasure in being able to add my mite
to the great mass of testimony in praise
of Paine's celery compound.
In November last found myself
much run down by overwork. For sew
eral weeks had been obliged to work
eighteen hours daily out Of the twenty
four, and was in consequence in state
of physical and nervous exhaustion.
At the suggestion of a friend com.
menced the use Of Paine's celery com.
pound, with the result that my strength
has steadily improved, and find my.
self in far better health than ! have
known for years.
I believe also that 1t has enabled me
to escape my periodical attack Of rheu-
matism, as every season since that time
with the advent Of the cold, damp
weather, have suffered severely from
that disease in q chronic form. So far
this winter have escaped without a
single twinge of my old enemy. 1
very cheerfully recommend it to any
one in similar need, in the full belief
that it will be helpful in every case.
Very sincerely yours, A. A. Bennett.

If we all led out.of-door lives, went
to bed at sundown, and had no consum.
ing cares nor hard work to bring down
the health, there might not be the
urgent necessity that now exists for
taking this best of spring remedies
Paine's celery mpound.
But as the great majority Of lives are
ordered-with too much work, too
much anxiety too little sleep, by the
time winter is over the drain on the
nervous energy has become excessive,
the nerves are in sad need of being
strengthened, and the blood Of being
purified.
Paine's celery compound absolutely
meets this great modern necessity.

back nerve strength and replace poor,

1t is the one great practical remedy
advocated by al lphysioians. It drives
away that feeling of utter exhaustion
that is so common in the spring, but
no less dangerously significant because
it is so common. 1t makes people

to all the ordinary sarsaparillas, nerv.

real spring remedy known today that

Railway Incident.

Prof. Lincoln, Of Brown University,
who died few years ago, used often
to relate with glee railroad adventure
which he had in Germany during his
last European tour. The party was
travelling in one Of the little German
railway carriages with the doors at the
sides when the train stopped at a sta
ton where there was a restaurant.
They were told that the train would
wait few minutes, and so, with Amer
lean independence, Prof. Lincoln and an
other member of the party stepped out,
crossed another track, and proceeded to
the station.
This infraction of German regula-
tions was at first unnoticed, but on the
return an obstacle was found in the
shape of another train between them
and their car.
The various railway personages ap-
peared stolidly ignorant as to time
tables. The train was too long to go
around; the cars were unprovided with
our convenient end platforms and steps,
and the space beneath them was none
too ample for cat to go under; only
out COuISe IGludlueO-tudl WAS u 70
over the train.
This seemed simple matter, as the
German cars are very small affairs
compared with our own, and moreover
are provided with a convenient ladder
on each side for the use of the man who
climbs up and puts the lamps down
through hole in the roof.
Accordingly the start was made, and
the feat was about half-accomplished
before it was noticed by the railway
officials. Then began a great commo-
ton, with violent gesticulations and
commands to come down.
But by dint Of Prof. Lincoln's vocif-
erations in German to the officials to-
the effect that coming down on the
farther side was just as well as to re-
turn to the station, and of soto voce
hints in New England vernacular to his
comrade to keep on going, the retreat
was successfully covered and the rail,
way carriage safely gained just in time.

Autograph Albums.

Is it possible that the album craze is
about to revive? Thirty years ago no
young lady was without her prettily
bound volume, in which she teased and
coaXed her friends to make all sorts
of absurd confessions as to their IA
vorite flowers, food, occupation and
what not. Or, did she aspire to higher
things, she would get them to inscribe
couplet or a rhyme. We hope that
the fashion is not going to revive, for it
became nuisance, but for all that,
Princess Henrietta Of Belgium, now
duchess of Vendome, received among
her other beautiful wedding gifts an
album in which the leading literary
men Of Belgium had inscribed their
ideas in verse and prose. Suitable IL
lustrations were contributed by various
distinguished artists.

BLUFFED OUT OF A BIG ROLL
Bold Plan of Robber in Denver to
Raise the Wind.

Raise the Wind.
Mr. Moffat Is the Denver banker who
was robbed Of $4,000 in his private
Office one day at noon. The robber held
a revolver in one hand. and bottle Of
nitroglycerin in the other. He request
ed Mr.. Moffat to write check for $21,-
600 under penalty of being shot and Of
having his bank building wrecked by
the explosion in the bottle, Mr.. Mof-
fat is reputed to be worth as many
millions as the number of thousands
demanded by the robber. He wrote the
check. The robber said he would have
to trouble Mr.. Moffat to go with him
into the paying tellers cage and pro-
duce the cash; he would take $4,000
in large bills, and 81 ZOO in gold.
eff you say one word, or indicate by
look or motion that anything is
wrong, I will shoot you and then blow
up the bank" Saying which the rob-
ber threw light overcoat over his arm
concealing the revolver he held in his
hand, accompanied the bank president
into the teller's cage, received the
money and returned with Mr.. Moffat
to the private Office. He then repeated
his threat to kill the banker and blow
up the building if an alarm should be
given before he (the rohber) was safely
outside the bank. He made his escape
and has not been captured. The rob-
ber's overcoat, revolver and bottle were
found in doorway near the bank
building. The revolver was loaded, but
a chemical analysis Of the contents of
the bottle revealed the fact that the
fluid was not nitroglycerin but sweet
oil.-Pttsburg Dispatch.

ALAskA's HUMAN BIRDS.
A Strange Race Who Chatter and
Chirrup.


People who talk like birds, who
whistle and chirrup in their speech,
with notes varying from those of the
/ wren to the harsh cultural of the cock
atoo--a tribe of such people has aetu-
ally been discovered by Dir. Franz
Boaz.
He was the first white man to locate
these chirruping savages, which he did
near the boundary between Alaska aud
British Columbia, though many travs
elers have heard them spoken of by
other Indians. Once tribe OF some
Importance, only about twelve indi,.
viduals now survive, and they are per-
petual fugitives-hunted like wild
beasts, in fact, and possessing no per-
manent homes.
1t has long been a practice among
the coast Indians Of Alaska, when a
chief died, to go and kill few of the
Fsutsowt-as the people who talk like
birds are called-the object being that
the chief might have servants to wait
on him while on his way to the aborig
inal Paradise. In the course of time
the pursuit of this good old custim
greatly reduced the number of the
Tsutsowt, and the latter during the
last fifty years, being too few to fight,
have been kept continually on the
jump. The last Of them would have
been killed some time ago but for the
fact that they have retreated to the
highest mountains, where they live
chiefly by hunting marmots. These lit
tie animals dwell among the rocks, and
may often be seen sitting erect at the
mouths of their holes, whistling shril-
ly. The Tsutsowt capture them by
means Of "dead-falP traps set at the
hole mouth.
DR.. Boaz had much trouble in find
ing these people owing to their mode
of life. At length he came upon a
Tsutsowt boy, and, obtaining his con-
fidence, was introduced to other men,
bers of the tribe. The bird-like Ian
guage Of which he had heard so much
appeared to owe it's popularity to an
extraordinary richness in sibilant and
cultural sounds. When spoken it had
actually a remarkable likeness to the
chirruping of birds.
Ine ISutSOWt tribe formerly con-
sisted Of two clans, and among them
the common aboriginal law against
marriage within the clan was rigidly
| enforced. That is to say, no maiden
could take a husband from her own
clan, or vice versa. But now one of
the clans has been wholly wiped out,
not single member surviving, and on
| this account the men have taken wives
within the last few years from the
Mass River Indians of Northern Brit
ish Columbia. Once year they come
down from the mountains and spend
a fortnight with the Mass River people,
in order to see their wives folks. 1t
is an odd fact that the Tsutswot are
hunters exclusively, whereas all other
tribes in their region are fishermen.

Gladness Comes

XGIith better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts pleasant 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 a constipated condi-
ton 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 debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
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.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
.sed and gives most general satisfaction.
