FOR COUNTRY'S SAKE
An Indian Fighter Suffers AQonies
from Disease.
He Was In the Battle with tho Apaches
When Geronimo Was Captured.

From Me Press, Ne,O Ho,|t CITY.
Worn with the exposure of army life on
the frontier, and poisoned by the continual
drinking 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
tight with the Indians in Arizona and other
record. In the fierce conflict when Geron-
imo, 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
death many soldiers who were never touched
by redskins bullet or arrow, and Mr.. Fle-
gauf came near such fate as that. A long
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 ill in hospital. He felt dizzy and his
stomach felt as if it had dried up These
symptoms were accompanied by bloody
dysentery, which no medicine seemed to re-
lieve.
After two years of suffering, Mr.. Flegauf
came to New York and was treated by sew
eral physicians. These did not agree, some
calling bis disease catarrh Of the stomach,
and others chronic diarrhea.
In speaking to a reporter about his illness
Mr.. Flegauf said the doctors helped him,
out, 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 year ago,
Mr.. Flegauf has been so 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
Pole People were recommended to Mr.. Fle-
gauf, and, almost as last hope, he began
| taking them.
''The beneficial effect of the medicine was
felt at once" Mr.. Flegauf told the reporter,
''and before had taken a box began to
cat with relish. Three boxes made me so
much better that l began work and have
been able to keep at it since, for five months :"
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are not a patent medicine in the sense that
name implies: They, were firstcompounded
as a prescription and used as such in gen
| eral practice by an eminent physician. So
great was their efficacy that it was deemed
wise to place them within the reach of ALL

Eye Changes Position.

It is not generally known that Tie
young fiat fish have an eye on each side
of the body, and that it is only in the
adult stage that the eyes are both on
one side. There has been much dis
cussion among scientific men as to the
mode in which the change takes place,
but in the founder the eye has been
observed to travel over the ridge of the
head, while in some other fish it passes
directly through the soft tissue of the
young fish to the other side.

Marine and Land Engines.

It is often matter Of wonder how
a marine engine attained an efficiency
greater than those on land can be maze
in so simple a form and contain orly
one-half as many pieces. The answer
is found mainly in the fact that lie
resistance to marine engines is CON.
slant and uniform, or nearly so, and
they can, for this reason, dispense with
speed-regulating gearing which causes
most of the complications in land en-
gines. The governor, trip-gearii:g

INSECT PESTS.
Black Ants and COcl1roa ches in Guiana 1T
the Coming of tho Rains.

Black Ants and Cockroaches in Guiana 1t
the Coming of the Rains.
At the coming of the rain in Guiana
the small black ants are everywhere.
They come into the rooms and get upon
our dining table, even though its legs
are placed in cans of kerosene oil. A
chair will provide suitable gangway,
or they will even run over your clothes
as you sit at dinner. They even get into
our beds, and we wake up at night and
find hundreds of these tiny creatures
crawling over us ami giving us vicious
bites here and there. Then the baby
cries in the next room, and its nurse
wakes up to find the little pests running
over it's face and sucking the moisture
from it's cyelids. The child wakes up
and rubs the part with its fist, to be re-
wardcd with sundry bites on his deli.
cate skin. Or perhaps one of them has
got into his ear, and the child screams
with all his might; then the mother or
nurse has much ado with syringe and
oil before silence is again restored.
Now come the cockroaches. Not
that they have ever been entirely
wanting, but as long a 8 the weather was
dry they could hide under heaps of
dead leaves or about the roots of trees
in the garden. Routed from these snug
quarters, they appear in great numbers,
flying into the open sitting-rooms, and
perhaps making a lady scream out with
disgust as one of them sprawls on her
dress. Their object is to hide them
selves as soon as possible, no matte:
where, and female drapery is very con-
venient. Like the ants, these sinking
creatures invade our bedrooms, and a
newcomer is warned not to sleep with
his mouth open, for he might wake to
find one exploring the cavity. Those
who have lived in the tropics for any
length of time can hardly escape tast-
ing the cockroach. Now and then they
run over our dishes and leave their taste
and smell behind, while occasi onally
one gets into the -four barrel and spoils
your cake or pudding. We have seen
bits of their carcasses in our bread, and
have had to reject roll altogether from
such a cause.
Now that the ground is well soaked,
the wood ants or termites begin to
swarm. They fly for little while, but
quickly get rid of their wings, to crawl
into the chinks and crannies of the
floor, between the covers Of books and in
fact everywhere. They litter the table
with their cast-off wings, and if not
looked after will do serious damage in q
few days. Furniture is bored with
holes, books are excavateI to provide
paSts and the hOuSe itself becomes
ultimately little more than home for
wood ants.-James Roadway, in Apple
tons Popular Science Monthly.

Rash Promise.

A story is told of a London magistrate
who had a London lady up before him
the day after Christmas whom the po-
lioenan said he had found helplessly
tipsy. He told her he would let her go,
considering the festive season, if she
would promise never to enter a public
house again. But, your honor" said
the lady. Il was not drunk: l was
drugged." WELL" said the magistrate,
who saw that she was fencing, "l'll let
YOU go if you will promise never to enter
a drug store again" To save the fine
she promised and departed. All her
soda water is gone.

Witty Retort Of q Priest to = Vulgar aud

Concerning the celebrated Father
Darcy, probably the greatest wit of
that witty nation, Ireland, it is re-
lated, says the Milwaukee Journal, that
he once visited the palatial mansion
of q perfect specimen of the nouveaux
riches who lived in the neighborhood Of
Dublin at the invitation of its pompous
owner. He was shown all over the
house, his host taking great pains, as
is .habitual in such cases, to keep the
witty and observant priest well in
formed as to the cost of oil the beauti.
full things he was shown. Finally, after
making the complete tour of the
chateau, the library was reached. its
tremendous shelves grooming under the
weight of thousands upon thousands
of volumes, resplendent in the most
magnificent bindings. Here they seat
ed themselves, and the host said, with
q sigh Of snobbish exultation:
'Well, father, have brought you
here last because this is my favorit.
room. The other rooms maybe give
pleasure to my wife and my daughters.
but this is my place-right here among
these books, who are my friends. And
these here on the desk (pointing to a
score of ultra-looking volurnes), are
what may call my intimate friends
Father Darcy got up and examined
one of them, when broad grin spread
over his good-natureG face, as he said:
"Well, it's glad am to see that you
never cut your intimate friends"

Gladness Comes

With 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
~ 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
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 skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Prof. Kent returned last Thursday from
weeks trip in Tillamook county, the
purpose of which was to gain informa-
ton regarding the dairy industry of that
section. The principal dairy portion of
the county lies in the vicinity of Tilla-
nook bay, and consists of a compara-
lively level tract of land, twenty miles
long and about eight miles wide, crossed
by four rivers, each having narrow val
leys extending further inland than the
main tract
Tillamook City, place of about 200
inhabitants, is the only town of impor-
tance in.the county, and business men
who have recently visited there say that
they believe there is four times as much
money in circulation there as in any
town Of like size in the Willamette val
ley. The principal reason for this is that
the people are mainly engaged in dairy
ing and get money for their products
twelve times per year, instead of only
once, as is the case with the wheat
raiser.
The dairy department of the college
under the management of Prof. Kent is
proving to be very important adjunct
nd of incalculable benefit to farmers.
