 No tear started from the eye of the dead warriors brother as he sat there on his pony and contemplated the scene. but giving utterance to that savage growl which no white man can initiate or describe, he turned his horss's head toward his home and flew away with the speed of a frightened deer.
 It was nidnighl when he reached his camp, but before daylight, mounted on a fresh horse and followed by fifty stall wart braves, he was on the trail of the fourteen men who committed the out rage. They never used that buffalo robe nor did they make whip lashes of the deerskins. The bow and arrows nsver reached the little boy. Every one of the fourteen was killed. providing a big feast for the wolves. But the newspa- pers just rang with the news of another Indian outrage. They never knew the primary cause.

AXE HANDLES.
And the Handles Used in A'zs, Picks, SIedges,
 Hatchets and Hammers.

From the New York Sun.
 Many manufacturing establishments producing articles of wood are, for great CT economy of production, lo.atad within easy reach of the forests from which they draw their material, and often wih' n the natural supply has been exhausted the hacto-les are moved into proximity with fresh forests. This has been the case, for instance, with the factories producing axe, adze, pick, stedge, ha 1chet and hammer handles. There are such factories in other parts of the country bun the four or five largest are now To- cated all in Kentucky and Tenaessee. One of these was originally in Connec ctf- cut. It moved thence to Maryland and thence to Kentucky, where it now is.
 For the handles of such implements as shoTels, rak-s, and forks, ash will do, but for toehs like axes and hammers, with which blows are struck, the handles must be of wood that is tough and elas- tic4 The best woods for these uses are hickory and oak A very great ma joTity Of the hanii.s used ill these tools are o1 hickory. North America is the only subdivision Of the earth where hickory is found. There is good hickory in Can sadd, but they do not make there all the handles they use. They import many from the United States
 < There are Maine lumbermen who pre- fer an oak axe handle. Some of the axe shaadles used in Maine are whittled out sby hand. Oak takss up less moisture th-n hickory, and is not So cold 10 the touch in winter. A good oak handie is somteh.ng certainly worth having.
 : Stout as hickory is, if handles made of It are stored away and kept too lcng they are liable to be attacked by "a worm fshat makes powder holes in the wood. A part of the wood that the worms do not attack is the heart; but this is the part least desirable in a handle The injury thus done could be covered by padTating the handles, but that would cost tco much.
 Formerly the hickory trees used in making these handles were schoppeti

Frog A Century old Croaking at the Same
 Old Stand

Frcen the Bai'istown (Ky) Record.
 A strange story of a frog is told by one who is acquaiEi ed wdh the facts On 'the old Ritchie place, which abounds with relics of early days, Is an old log spgfnghouse, built at the beginning of the present century by John Ritchie, the inventor of the sour mash process Of making whisley. A ,ncve--faiHng stream of Dce-cold water flows in this house forming a pool several feet deep. Here since John Ritchie left Lynns Fort and built himself an Independent dwelling, 1t Is alleged a giant bullfrog has had its home. As the frog family is endowed with great longevity. 1t is said by 'ihose who ought to know, that it Is reasonable to believe that the frog is the same one which took up is residence in the Ritchie spring'house in pioneer times. What lends color to the theory is the fact that there has never been but one frog seen in the neighborhood of the old spring, and MT. Stephen Ritchis, "a man well advanced in years, states that this same frog, or one very similar to 1t, had it home in the spring when he was a child and that h's has often heard his grandmother term the frog her rain sign. The frog is said Co be of vast pro- portions. with a thunderous voice that can be heard a great distance. It is very active and shows no evidence of it's cedi- tury or more of years.

A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Remedy For Curing
 Dyspepsia.

The Rev r. I. Bell. a highly esteemed minister residing in Weedsport. Cayuga county, N. Y in @ recent letter, writes as follows: There has never been any,. thing that I have taken that has re- lieved the dyspepsia from which I have suffered for ten years except the nsw remedy called Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab lets. Since taking them 1 have had no distress at all after eating, and again after long years can sleep well. Rev. F. l. Bell Weedsport, N. r. formerly Idalia, Col.'
 Sltuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a re- markable rem dy, not only because it is a certain cure for all forms of indi- gestion, but because 1t seems to act as thoroughly in old chronic cases of dys- pepsia as well as in mild attacks of in- digestion CT bliousness. person has dyspepsia simply because the stomach is overworked; all it wants is a harm less, vegetable remedy to digest the food and thus give it the much needed rest.
 This is the secret of the success of this peculiar remedy. No matter how weak or how much disordered the digestion may be, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not. New life and energy is given not only to the stomach. but to every organ and nerve in me body. A trial of this sp-endid medicine will con- vince the most skeptical that Dyspepsia ard all stomach troubles can be cured. The tablets are prepared by the Stuart Chemical Co.,, of Marshall, Mich, but SO popular has the remedy become that Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can now be obtained alt any drug store at 50 csnts per package.
