An Indian Fighter Suffers Agonies
from Disease.
He Was in the Battle with the Apaches
When Geronimo Was Captured.

From the Press, Ne,c York City.
Worn with the exposure of army life on
the frontier, and poisoned by the continual
dEinking Of alkali water, Joseph Flegauf
returned to Philadelphia eight years ago,
broken down in health and unable to do
any work.
He had served five years with the Ninth
United States Infantry in many desperate
fight with the Indians in Arizona and other
frontier States and had won an enviable
record. In the fierce conflict when Geron-
limo, 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 to an untimely
by a redskins bullet or arrow, and Mr. File
gauf came near such 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 three weeks he lay desperate
ly i'll in hospital. He felt dizzy, and his
stomach felt as if it had dried up. These

After two years of suffering, Mr.. Flegauf

In 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. SIT West Forty-sec-
ond Street, in New York. about a year ago.
Mr.. Flegauf has been 50 ill 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 DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People were recommended to Mr.. Fle-
gauf, and, almost as last hope, he began
taking them.
1.-The beneficial effect of the medicine was
felt at once" Mr.. Flegauf told the reporter,

been able to keep at it since, for five months. ;"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are not g patent medicine in the sense that
name implies. They were first compounded
as prescription and used as such in gen.
eral practice by an eminent physician. So
great was their efficacy that 1t was deemed
wise to place them within the reach Of all.
They are now manufactured by the DR..

Gladness Comes

With a better understanding of the
w 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 constipated condi.
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly 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
ali 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. 1t

may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxa live,

Kruoer,s PRAYER.

Before the Transvaal was a repup-
lie, there was Il famine in the land, and
a party was organized to hunt the
hartebeeste. For days the party scour-
ed the veldt in vain. Then one Of the
Beers declared his intention Of retir-
ing into the bush to pray for succor.
He accordingly left the party, in com
pany with a native. Some hours after
ward, the Boer returned and informed
the party that he had prayed, and, in
three days time. a very large troop of
hartebeeste would pass that way. Sure
enough, two days after, the promised
game appeared in sight, and the Dutch
men made a great haul. From that
moment, 1.-The man of prayer" became
the popular hero. That man was Paul
Kruger. Some time %afterward, the
native who accompanied Kruger stat
ed that when Kruger entered the bush
he did not pray, but struck out for a
neighboring Kaffir kraal. Calling the
head-men, the Boer informed them
that there was a large number of arm
ed Beers on the other side of the bush,
who had sent him to tell them that
unless they (the natives) discovered
game in less than three days, they
would all be shot. The frightened ma
tives set out forthwith, discovered the
game, and drove it toward the Boer
camp.

Her Letter Came Back.

reaso that the address, No. - West
Blank street, was not omitted was be-
cause 1t vas stamped upon the sta

ter failed to reach its destination until
after the father had left. The young
woman, therefore, received no answer
to her many questions. Not until after
her fathers return, however, did she
learn that he had never so much as
seen the epistle. Chagrined rs she
was at having so intimate a missive go
astray, she. of course, never expected
to hear from the thing again. Not so.

ONCE ON A TIME.

Once OF a time a wife's heart Lled:
The world was gay, the world was
kind;
But one who should cherish had spurned
instead,
pinned.
Once on a time another came,
His voice so low, his words SO rich,
The bleeding heart of the wife in name
Felt the potent spell of .the Cupid
witch.
Once on a time a woman thought
To repair an error by one as deep;
Little she rocked of the ruin wrought
From seeds sown only tears to reap.
Once on a time q month and a day
We're spent in laughter and loves sweet
spell,
And then came the end, he went away,
Caring nothing If she Jared i'll or well.
Once On a time the wife then thought
OF the vanished name, the fair repute,
OF the spell of happiness dearly bought.
The words of respect chat for her were
mute.
Once on a time there came an hour
When she realized her great mistake;
The sound of music, the scent of a
flower,
Did naught but the voices of memory
wake.
Once on n time when the city slept
A frail, fair form to the rivers brink,
Covering and heart weary, closely crept
To hide her shame, no more to think.
Once on a time all this was true,
Fiction no place has on folly's page;
An illicit love was but born to rue,
And surely death is sins w wage.
