"So you were a pioneer in the early days of the West2"
 II was," answered the graybeard.
 "You lived among the hostile Tndians?"
 Yes"
 Lived with rifle Tn your, hands and in hourly expectation, of being the mark for a hidden enemy's bullet?"
 Tt was something like that"
 Do you know, I often think that life like that must be ter rible, I should think the mere strain on the nerves would kill man in short time-holding your life in your hand all the time, all. ways conscious that moments relaxation of vigilence may mean death :"
 "Oh, I don't know," replied the graybeard. "When I came back from the West I wos 60 years old and did not have gray hair. I got off the railroad train and started to walk across the street. Half way over heard the dingd- est changing and yelling right at my heels I ever heard, and some bodG gave me a push that sent me clear to the curb. Then, when I looked around, saw I'd come with in an ace of being run over by trolley. Never had so narrow an escape from Indians.
 'I went into saloon close by to get drink to settle my nerves. While I was standing at the bar couple of fellows got into a scrap  and one of them threw q heavy been mug. Didn't hit the other fellow, but 1t came within a six teenth of an inch of my right temple.
 "I started to walk uptown, and
  the first crossing I came to policeman grabbed me by the shoulder and jerked me across SO quick it made my head swim. 1 looked to see what was the matter, for there were no car tracks on that street, and I saw 1 had just escaped being run down by hackman hurrying to catch train.
 "Up street little further some body yelled: Look outP at me, and when I jumped a big icicle fell and struck where I had been standing.
 Il got to my hotel, and was head 7, ing for the door when somebody grabbed me and asked me if l wanted to be killed. They wera hoisting safe into second-story window over where I'd been trying to go, and I hadn't more than got out of the way before a rope broke and it dropped.
 "I went to bed, and about mid night was called up by ringing over my head, and found the place was on fire, and I had to slide down a rope to escape. Being a 1, sound sleeper, they'd had hard . work to wake me, and I had barely touched the ground when the roof fell in. When 1 looked in the glass I saw the first streaks of gray that had ever showed themselves in my hair. Oh, there's danger in civilized life as we'll as out on the

CONSTIPATION

SHOULD not be regarded as a trifling ailment--in fact, nature demands the utmost regularity of the bowels, and any deviation from this demand paves the way often to serious danger. It is quite as necessary to remove impure accumulations from the bowels as it is to eat or sleep, and no health can be expected where a costive habit of body prevails.
