The marvellous growth and grea; sue

edy Company Is an object lesson well
worth studying. This company has
been in existence only four years They
launched into business which seemed
already overcrowdcd where the sharp
est competition had to be met, yet we
are told that this company earned last
Year over quarter of Il million dollars,
and that the remedies are used in every
civilized country This shows what
merit backed by ceaseless energy and
liberal advertising, can accomplish.
MIR. Munyon says he attributes his
success to two reasons. First, making
sure that his remedies were just what
he claimed for them: second, telling the
people the truth about them by liberal
newspaper advertising.
There have been times In the history
of this company" said Mr. Munyon,
when prospects looked pretty black.

this country and took refuge there, by
degrees gathering around him all the
members of his own tribe, and after
wards all escaped slaves, until in course
of time they became numerous enough
to harass the Spaniards and gather the
material necessary to establish them
selves as an independent state and bid
defiance to the Spaniards. Petty raids
on the adjacent plantations then as
sumed the form of war on the Spanish
settlements; and it was during one of
these Maroon wars that Admiral Penn
and Gen. Nenables appeared in 1866 and,
with the aid of the Maroons, drove out
the Spaniards.
Although practically unknown to
history UP to that date, the
traditions of the Maroons, if writ
ten, would fill thick volume
and make very interesting read
ing. Perhaps the most generally in
teresting story of all is that of Acorn
pong, the first Maroon, and the found
ing of the tribe. When that redeubt-
able king escaped from his Spanish
masters and fled into the wilderness, his
wanderings led him into what is now
known as the Cockpit country. There
he discovered and established himself
in marvellous natural fortress that is
still pointed out to the visitor. 1t con-

This leads to the entrance, a small open

this narrow passage leads down to
the chambers, which are well lighted by
openings in the roof, some so to 100 feet
above the floor.
In the old war times, when this was
the stronghold, the openings to the up
per and outer world were reached by
means of platforms and great ladders
made from palm trees. The outward
roof is one mass of serrated rocks,
whence from good cover only few men
