Uplifted her voice in a wall most sore.

Here is a man with a petrified foot.
His name is Bill Merkle, and he lives
in the mountains of Texas. A party Of
hunters from Ell Paso discovered him.
When they got back to town they told
the story.
Merkle was a cowboy In the days
when the cowboy was in the height Of
his glory. He had lived in the hills for
twenty-five years 1t was about 1875
that the accident befel him which caus-
ed him to be the ultimate possessor of
the only stone foot in the world, which
Is attached to a live leg.
He was rounding up a big lot of cat
tie, when they stampeded. In trying
to get out of the way, his horse slipped
and he was thrown TO the ground, d.
rectly in the track of the maddened
cattle. How he escaped being tram
Piled into shapeless mass is mystery.
After the herd had passed, his COM
panions FASTENED to him, expecting to
find his mangled corpse. They were
surprised to find him unhurt, except
for compound fracture of the left leg
below the knee, both bones being
broken.
! Apparently both bones knit very rap
idly, but below the fracture the flesh
seemed to be undergoing a remarkable
change in color and texture. In few

THE MEANING OF 1T.

Very often we give the wrong meaning to
a word and thereby make serious mistakes.
For instance, the true and literal meaning
OF the word rheumatism is caches or pains
Of the muscles, bones and joints of the hui
man body" 1t is general and not specific.
Also the word relief does not mean cure.
Relief may be but a short cessation of pain.
But when we say st. Jacobs Oil cures rheu-
matism promptly and permanently, we
mean it eonquers pain quickly with no re-
turn Of it, unless the sufferer gives cause
for a new attack, and then it will cure
again. 1t matters not whether it is chronic,
acute or inhammatory, it will cure. That
is sure be sure of it.

Again he looked at his watch and saw
It was half past one. Two hours and n
half stin to sand guard! As he stared
out into the night he suddenly saw an
officer and soldier before him. The
officer had spoken In low, threatening
voice, but the import of the words were
completely missed by Jlmmy's dazed
mind.
What did you say, sir?" asked jim
my.
You were asleep at your post said
the man.

and then he wondered why his hand
had not dropped on the bayonet point.
He felt for his gun; 1t was not there.

Jimmy hadn't word to say, but fol
lowed the man into the camp They
passed between the silent tents, seeing
sentinels standing here and there like
statues. At last, near the center of the
encampment they came to large tent
which showed that light was burning
