For Country's Sake.
AN INDIAN FIGHTER SUFFERS AGoNIESs
FROM DISEASE
He Was In the Battle with tho Apaches
When Geronimo Was Captured.


From the Press, New York City.
Worn with the exposure of army life
on the frontier, and poisoned by the
continual drinking of alkali water.
Joseph Flegauf returned to Philadel-
phia 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
a desperate fight with the Indians in
Arizona and other frontier states and
had won an enVlable record. In the
fierce conflict when Geronimo, the
famous chief of the .Apaches. was cap-
tured, Mr.. Fleugauf was among the
brave soldiers who, forgctful of every
thing but duty charged upon the hos
tile Indians,
Life on the plains sent to an untimely
death many soldiers who were never
touched by redskins bullet or arrow.
and Mr.. b'leEGuf came near such fate
as that. long time before his time
was out he was taken seriously Ill, 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 desperately III In hospital. He felt
dizzy and his stomach felt as IL IL had
dried up. These symptoms We're accom-
panied by bloody dysentery, which no
medicine seemed to relieve.
After two years of suffering. Mr..
Flegauf came. to New York and was
treated by several physicians These
did not agree, some calling his disease
catarrh of the stomach. and others
chronic diarrhoea.
In speaking to a 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 small part of the
time. Since moving to his present
home, No 517 West Forty-second street,
in New York, about a year ago, Mr.
Flegauf has been SO i'll 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. Flegauf, and, almost as a last
hope, he began taking them.
"The beneficial effect of the medicine
was felt at once" Mr. Flegaur told the
reporter, land before had taken q box
] began to eat with relish. Three boxes
made me so much better that began
work and have been able to keep at it
since, for five months"
Pink Pills contain all the elements
necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shat
tered nerves. They are for sale by all

But in spite of her marked success in
this line little Miss Potter is not content
to "let well enough alone" And the

fame and wrinkles no longer collabo'
rate, And yet Miss Bracken's success
did not come for the asking. She had
succeeded not because Of the help OF the
world, but in spite of an assortment OF
obstacles to be surmounted that would
have discouraged genius even in tho
masculine form.
Miss Bracien came to Chicago from
Apps River, H., when just II. She
was delicate girl without influence or
money She developed her talent at
the art institute in the evening. In the
daytime she earned the money to pay
Tor that development.
An interesting story. illustrative OF
Miss Bracken's perseverance, patience
and indomitable will power is told in
connection with the work on her we'll
known statue illinois Welcoming the
Nations" OF course she was delighted
when she received the order from the
woman's board The figure was to be
put in bronze and she was to be paid
$1,000 for it.
Unfortunately she received two other
orders at the same cine. She had
only three months time IN which TO
execute the three commissions and she
succeeded IN doing this to everyone's
satisfaction, except her own. And just
before the time for Casting" the Till
nois," she announced REORGANIZATION
of doing 1t over again" The ladies OF
the board demonstrated with her, ex-
pressing their willingness to accept 1t.
But Miss Bracken was in earnest. The
work was hastily done and must be put
aside.
The new model was slowly developed
and the result was satisfactory even
to the clever artist herself. And well
1t might be, for she had sacrificed to her
high ideal trip TO Paris, that money
met her studio expenses while at work.
She had toregone summers outing
at Bar Lake. which meant SO much to
one in her ill-health and in place OF
the .antalizing dreams of fresh air,
sunshine and woods, she had, as real
ity, hot studio, the wetting and ham
mering of clay and only that fine, keen
sense of the justice of her course to con-
sole her.
To-day The statue of illinois Wei
coming the Nations" is pointed out In
the rotunda of the state house at
Springfield as the work of the leading
woman sculptor of the west"

Rome, April 15.-Emperor William
has invited the Prince of Naples to the
grand maneuvers at Goerlitz next
autumn.
Colonel Won Engebrecht. the German
military attache, had long conference
with general Ricotti, the minister of war.
signor Crispi says that the statement
to the effect that he had asked but had
been refused an audience with the Ger.
man emperor is untrue. He never asked
for such an audience. The former pre-.
mier further averred that in spite of the
Importance that had been attached to 1t
in diplomatic circles the meeting at
Venice was not worthy of much attention
He also stated that the cabinet had in
tended to evaculate Casual, but that the
Indignation shown by the public when the
proposal was made known canRed the
ministers to change their mind.
signor Crispi claims that he would do
nothing to bring about his own return to
power.

some Good old "Jack.'

On Laurel hill in Bridgeton, N. j.,
there stands house between whose
walls is hidden quart bottle of the
purest apple-jack. The bottle has
rested there for thirty-nine years, and
has, according to the story told, eleven
years more to stay. When the house
was built, thirty-nine years ago, quart
bottle was filled with ''jack" and tight
ly sealed and plastered in the wall by a
man who had the house built. The bot
tie is not to be taken from its dark re-
cess until the son of the man who placed
it there for him becomes so years OF
age The boy is now SO years of age,
and in all these years has kept true to
the promise made in the days OF his
youth to his father not to touch the
bottle of apple-jack until he reaches the
half-century mark in life's journey.

Brooks bust Of her father

is a work at once lifelike and artistic.
The modelling in head and neck is
strong and full Of action, while the coat
and pedestal are treated as non-essen-
tial. 1t is refreshing to find an artist
who ignores the temptation of putting
realistic touches In coats, neckties, ETC.,
but leaves such details where they
rightly belong, to the tailor.
Harriet Randolph Hyatt, though
working along the same line as these
clever young western artists, is New
England woman. She was born in
Salem, Mass, in 1868. She was pupil
of Henry Hudson Kitson at the Cowles
art school. Miss Hyatt's special talent
seems to lie in the direction of the re-
production in Clay of various emotions:
Sorrow, pathos, or amusement are
shown SO faithfully III her ideal and
portrait busts as to give the impression
that the expression is actually the re-
suit of human experience rather than
the mere handiwork Of dextrous fingers
experimenting genius.
There is no questioning the genius and
sincerity Of these young women sculp-
tors. They believe in their country,
their art and in themselves. They are
responding nobly to the demand for a
national art, an art possessing Ameri-
can spirit and American enterprise. It
remains to be seen whether the demand
was a cry from the heart of the nation
or temporary clamor for new fad.
