The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1897-03-04

An old book quantity says that
"when the whole system is pervaded
by well-oxygenated blood, vigorously
propelled, life and activity are copious-
ly communicated" Which means
that when the blood is purified by the
use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, perfect
health is the result.

PHYSICAL EFFECT OF FEAR.
A Mans Arm Swollen by the Fancied
Bite of a Rattlesnake.

Bite of a Rattlesnake.
A man connected with a travelling
menagerie was sleeping on some blan-
kets in the door of a tent, when some
thing crawling over his breast reused
him, says the New York Ledger.
Springing up he threw off the crea-
ture, which proved to be a huge rat
tlesnake. AS he struck it he felt the
prick of its fangs in his arm, and, with
a howl of pain and terror, bounded
from the tent and shouted for help,
whisky, a doctor or some medicine.
There CHANGED to be nothing available
within reach, and his fellows stood
around with scared faces waiting for
him to die, which he appeared likely
to do in a short time. The arm began
to swell and the poor victim was soon
gasping for breath and grooming with
almost intolerable pain. At last, just
as the breath seemed about to leave
his body, some one among the wagons
shouted that one of the pet snakes had
escaped. 1t was an enormou RATHER,
but harmless, as the fangs had been
removed. The reptile was found dead
under one side of the tent, where the
man had flung it. The bite proved to
be the prick from a sharp tack in the
canvas of the tent. In an hour the
man was as well as eve save for
weakness caused by the nervous ex-
element. It was the opinion of all
who witnessed the incident that but
for the timely disabuse of the mans
mind he would have been dead within
a few minutes, the victim of nervous
dread and terror.
An intelligent foreigner is said to
have expressed himself after the fol-
lowing fashion on the .~absurdities of
the English languages:

quick ! was fast, if I stood firm I vas

CHAPTER XII.
a PerilOus Situation.

~
Now although Dentham intended to
oetcay the confidence Of both DR..
Roversmire and Olive Maunders, vet
it was an operation of some difficulty,
y he toresaw on taking a quiet view
II the situation. So far he had made
twenty-five pounds out of the transac-
ton. but he would lot obtain any more
money from adrian Lancasters be-
trothed until the house had been thor.
oughly searched, and the unhappy
young man found. If they did recover
Adrian shut up in a secret chamber,
as Rudall surnised. he would certain
ly gain the balance Of the reward from
Olive Maunders. but on the other
hand he wCuld obtain nothing from
his master; as he would be unable to
warn him and make terms.
Adrian Lancaster, still hidden in
the personality of DR.. Roversmire.
was quite unconscious Of the perilous
situation in which he was placed. It
was true he mistrusted Dentham. but
he never suspected the valet would be
so d]exterous in piecing evidence to-
gether and so establish a case against
him. As to Dentham communicating
with Olive Maunders. 1t never entered
his brain that such a thing would oc-
cur. as he had said nothing to the
servant, and, to all outward appear
ance, there was nothing to connect the
~so-called DR.. Roversmire with the dis
appearance of Adrian Lancaster.
This morning after Dentham's salts
factory visit to town. Adrian received
a letter from Sir John Maunoers.
asking him to come down to NARROW
and stay the night as he wanted to
SPEAK with him on a particular sub
ject.
Adrian wrote a letter accepting the
invitation. but declined to stay all
night as he wanted to get back to his
studies The fact was that he was
afraid during his absence something
night happen to solve the difficulty.
and he was unwilling to be absent
should any chance of regaining his
freedom present itself.
So he sent the letter and told
Dentham he a. going to leave Hamp.
stead the next day for a visit, a.
which the valet was highly delighted.
and sent off a telegram that evening
to Miss Maunders. telling her the
house would be able to be searched
the following day.
Olive. on her part had tod he,
father nothing of the revelations o.
Dentham, but had got him to ask DR..
Roversmire down to NARROW n ther
;intimated: her intention OF going
away. Sir John at first objected t.

was ultimately overruled by his clever
daughter h

A Very Popular Calendar.


Few people in these busy days are willing
to live without a calendar to mark the pass
ing of time. This fact, no doubt, accounts
for the calendars of all kinds, %colors, shapes
and sizes which flood the mails at this
season. Among them all the one that best
suits us is the one issued by N. w. AVER &
Son, the excepting INCREASINGLY At It"
Newspaper Advertising Agents Of Philadel-

and are liked for 1897. 1t is not difficult to
see why this calendar is so great a favorite.
The fgures on it are large enough to be read
across a room; its handsome appearance
makes it worthy of a place in the best fur
nished Office or library, while it is business
like all the way through. The publishers
state that the demand for this calendar has
always exceeded the supply. This led them
