1T seems az though they had to get rid
OF their money somehow or bust. There's
another man who kept gambling house.
He had a fine family and maintained them
in luxury. He wouldn't gamble or specl-
late. either. But he had the money, and
he had to spend it somehow. He got in
tcrested IN a church, and spent SO ini.cn
money on 1t that one day when the game
went against him. he hadD t money enough
to put up, and so his snap busted. When
l saw him last he was getting S25 week
as a sheet-writer for a bookmaker, and
glad to get it.

about the value and the nature of money

the next best thing to winning ut cards is
losing. You hear lots about oome-ons who

don't hear so much about sporting men
who get robbed it's simply because they

They'll never trouble US again. - said Capt.
Saunders. its 4
But Fate was against the redskins. The
foremost warrior had not gone fifty
yards, when he, as well as we, saw Jake
Trueman hurrying toward us TO take
part in the fight, whereupon the exas-
perated brave rode straight at him, but
only to fall with a bullet TIN ough his brain
before he had come within thirty yards
Maddened by this sight, a score of war
riors, sure of at least one oonsoling scalp,
swerved from the line and quickly sur
rounded the young giant, who, while we
were running up, was battling for his life,
and to some purpose. Whirling the ponder
GUS rifle around his head as the ordinary
man might do q two-handed singlestick,
he not only guarded himself, but brought
down an enemy at every stroke. When we,
who had occupied perhaps ten seconds in
our rescuing race, came up and dispersed
the remaining braves by our mere presence,
we found that no less than five of their
comrades had fallen, with crushed skulls,
before the Missourian's mighty arm, while
ne had received only a trifling wound from
thrown tomahawk, the thronging savages
having SO impeded each other in their
eagerness that none could close with him
Pressing around the gallant fellow, we
almost overwhelmed him with congratulate
tions, while Saunders seized his big right
hand in both his own aud frankly said:
Jake, we've worried you time and again
with our foolish talk, and on benalf Of
the whole crowd, humbly ask your par

is little Jessie safe?''
Yes, God bless you, Jake You saved
her life when no one else could have done
1t, replied Tom Graham.
BY this time the surviving Apaches and
all the riderless ponies had disappeared,
aud We hurried down to the river to release
the prisoners and regain our stock.
The reader can perhaps imagine the
pathetic scene that occurred when the
three temporarily bereaved men once more
clasped their weeping wives in their arms,
but he can hardly picture TO himself how,
Jake Trueman, after cutting the sobbing
Jessie's bonds. caught her TO his breast,
aud, while a.terna tely laughing and cry
ing, danced around with her In very de-
llrium of joy; nor how she hugged the
great fellows neck, showered kisses upon
his beandless face, and poured out her
gratitude in flood OF the sweetest pratt
tie to which man ever listened.

He Made Himself Clear.

Some years ago a wealthy manufacturer
in Canada, employing nearly n thousand
hands, established "model'' city, thus
giving the workmen and their families
many comforts and luxuries that they
could not have attained unaided. OF
course, there were regulations to govern
the model city, which, as a Iule, were
cheerfully observed.
There were fault-finders, however, and
especially u newcomer. named Bascomb.
Among the rules was one forbidding the
burning OF soft coal, on account OF the
odor and smoke, and Basconlb objected
strongly.

MONEY THAT BURNS.

''If were looking for an easy mark"
said New Yorker, WHO'S not aneasy mark
himself, but sometimes finds use in his
business for easy marks, Il would hunt
for him among the sporting men, particu-
larry if i were ill hurry. Talk about
sporting men being shrewd! Why, they
can't get rid of their money quick enough to
suit them. That is especially true of the
sporting men in New York. Sporting men
in the country, hayseeds, you'd call them,
have harder heads till they come to New
York and their heads get swelIed and
softcned like the others
81 suppose it comes OF handling money In
big sums and lots of it. I've noticed the
same thing about ban.-ers and bank clerks
They get accustomed t. handle money Just
as carelessly as dynamite maker handles
the explosive. See the story of al i deraica-
tions and embezzlements: it's pretty much
a matter OF taking the trouGleto cart away
the stuff from the bank The banks get
IN the rut of expecting you to rob them in
certain ways, and if you just go about it
in some new. simple way, why, everything's
thrown open to you. It's the same way
with the sporting nien. They get to think
ing that nobody but one OF themselves
few know enough to salt away their
money.
Another thing they don't know enough

Types of Kentucky Saddle Horses.

There is a charm about the Kentucky horse

miles from Lexington, a roan gelding that

appeared particularly in the beauty of the
rump and In the carriage of the tail
There was an exquisite trick in the con-
formation OF the quarters. Charming
and very Kentucky you said, as you
looked at them, and yet you felt that you
had never seen quite that before. 1t was
perhaps a bold flight nearer the Kentucky
ideal than you had seen. The quality of
the figure was Certainly due to an infusion
of the Denmark grace. The tail was the
other chief beauty. There was an airy
grace in the carriage of ii which reminded
you of the fortunate work of some archi-
tect of genius. 'What have you done 10

is said, by the way, that this tail has becn

St. Paul. Minn.. Jan. 2S.-The tempera- ture in the northwest has been dropping all day and tonight 1t is excessively cold from Bismarck to St. Paul.

With the Mercury Two Above, Is the
 Condition In Chicago
 Chicago, Jan. 23.-High winds, a heavy and continuous fall of snow and a tenn peratGre only ? degrees above zero com bined to make this the stormiest day of the winter. and seriously interferredl with street and railroad traffic towards even ing. The thermometer rose to ' degrees above zero at noon, making the lot of pedestrians mere endurable, and the wind moderated a. little as the day ad- vanced. enabling the people to gs't bet ter footing on the dangerously icy walks. The wide area of the storm gave the off, cials of western railroads cause for fear that their lines would be tied up before morning, The conditions outside the city were rapidly getting worse and the prcs- poets for blockade over Sunday at least, even with the most vigorous measures for the clearing of the tracks. Mail trains came in late tonight from the west.
 The city street cleaning bureau and the street car companies were compelled to put hundreds of laborers, teams and snow blows to work, and at a late hour 1t looked as though they had an all-night job before them. As 1t was. the street car traffic was much impeded. The whole northwest is in the grip of ice, snow and wind and zero temperature.

IS HE ONE OF THEM ,?
Here-Thought to Be One of the Train Robbers

J. A. and Jeff Kelly arrived here from Walker county yesterday morning on the Kansas City train, bringing with them white man, who gives his name as John Calhoun. The man is suspected as being one of the band of men who hald up the Southern train near Berry sta- tion Thursday night. He was arrested at Eldrdge, on the Kansas City road, and on his person was found a 45-calibre pis- tol and $50.
 The Southern Express company off, cials here were notified of the arrest and they at once instructed the captors to bring the man to Birmingham. The man was securely bound with ropes and brought here, as requested.
 The man was very stubborn when taken to a room in the Morris and questioned. giving the names of two or three places in answer to queries as to where he was from.
 The officials are retcent as to what was gotten in the way of information from the man, but it is generally sup possd that he is thought either to be a member of the robber gang or knows a grcit deal about them.
 The man is in custody here.

We tried everything we could, but he got worse all the time till it spread to his arms. legs, and then to his entire body, and he got so bad that he came near dying. The rash would itch so that he would scratch till the blood ran, and a thin, yellowish stuff would be all over his pillow in the morning. had to put mittens on his hands to keep him from tearing his skin around his wrists. He got so weak and run down that, he took fainting spells like we would think him dying. lie was almost d skeleton. and his little hanus were thin like claws.
 He was bad about eight months when we tried CUTIcURA REM EpIEs. had not iaid him dowE in his cradle in the day time for long time.
