henry Hohlt May Thank His Bulldog Ten
Driving on tlfo Buffalo
The next time that Henry Hohlt goes
out to interview his herd Of budaloes as
Lincoln park he win probably gaze atit
through the cracks of the fence and not
run the risk Of having his epidernnis
perforated by a pair Of bovine horns.
The other afternoon ne donned q suit
If cowboy clothes cut by q pattern ap-
proved by Texas Jack Crawford when
he was here. Then he mounted 8 fiery
mustang and entered the Enclosure
where his buffaloes are kept to drive
them into a oerTal. They objected Wig
orousIy, but Henry was not TO be
bluffed. One old bull was particularly
pugnacious and insisted upon making
life a burden for the mustang, Several
rigorous lunges at the mustang were
avoided by the sensible animal with
dispatch.
A bulldog belonging to Mr.. Hohlt had
been viewing the trouble from afar.
Finally he seemed to have decided to
take a hand, so, with a run only par
alIeled by that celebrated squirt made by
Salisbury last fall at the same park, he
caught the bull by the nose and per-
formed a few revolutions around his
head as the old fellow gave it a twirl or
two for luck. Having shaken the dog
loose, the animal made a wild dive for
him. He missed his prey, and then
started for the horse. The latter
stumbled and fell, precipitating his
rider to the ground and rendering him
unconscious. The bull then attacked
the horse and killed him.
The dog appeared to realize the posi-
lion occupied by his unconscious
master. He attacked the bull in front
and rear SO persistently thatthe animal
burned his attention from the horse to
Che dog. A wild chase followed, in
which the dog gave n of the prettiest
exhibitions of racing ever witnessed.
While the bull was engaged in follow.
ing his little tormentor some assistants
of Mr.. Hohlt saw his predicament and
FASTENED to his rescue. He was still un.
conscious, and they were compelled to
pick him up and carry him to the park
house. After r~estoratiyes had been APP
piled he was brought to the city. He il

The Earliest sword.

In the early ages, before men knew
anything about civilized ways, they
lived in caves and had to protect them
selves not only from the attacks of ami
mails, but from those of their human
brothers IS well. The first weapon
their unaccustomed fingers shaped was
a wal club. Experience, however. soon
taught them that a deadlier blow could
be delivered with q weapon that would
cut rather than crush, and they made
a hatchet. Then one day some one dis
covered a substance in the secret stores
of the good brown earth on which he
finally learned to put q keener edge
than he had ever been able to chip on
his stone hatchet, and the sword was
made.-Chicago Chronicle.

Few people have suffered more from pain
in the back than Mrs. Lille b. Newell Of
No. 23l8 Second Avenue, New York City.
For several years she was so afflicted with
this distressing malady that h was hardly
able to get around, and could do little to
ing all the harder to bear. Her husband,
Charles Newell, who is well-known New
York optician, tried in every way to find q
remedy for his wife, but nc medicine
seemed to have the power to remove her
pain.
Mrs. Glynn, a sister Of Mrs. Newell, Is a
professional nurse, and was familiar with
the symptoms of her sisters sickness. Mrs.
Newell was away On a visit when a reporter
called upon her, but Mrs. Glynn, who lives
at No, 416 East O~ne-hundred and-twentieth
Street, told the story OF her sisters re-
covery.
A doctor was called when Mrs. Newel's
condition became serious and he prescribed
small pink pills which, in q short time, re-
hevedthe woman's pain as NO other medi-
told the reporter, tive learned that themedi-
cine the physician was giving my sister was
nothing more than DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. Knowing by experience
how excellent q remedy these pills were,
Mrs. Newell bought some at a drug store
and continued taking them. The effect was
most gratifying, for in six months my sister
was perfectly well and the pain in her back
was nothing more than an unpleasant mem
ory. Both she and / have recommended the
Pink Pills to other people, who nave not
failed to find them all that is claimed. All
doctors my sister had been treated by, be-
fore taking the pills, had done her no APP
parent good.n
