The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1897-07-01

A good story has Just been told by a
family doctor regarding n little use
adopted by one of his patients who
wished to say the expense of consult
ing him. The patient was Il woman of
good means, but of frugal disposition.
One day she began to feel some ALARM
regarding her health. and, wishing to
avoid Il costly procedure, made an ap-
plicatiOn to a life insurance company
for a policy of large amount-So large,
indeed, that they delegated three medi-
cal men to make an exhaustive exam
ination of her before they would ac-
cept her as a risk. In due time she
was informed that her life had been
accepted. She was thus in q position
to assume hat she was quite well,
whereupon she replied to the company
that she had changed her mind. and
did not intend to take out a policy just
then.

understood that it is a physical one.
In the interest of humanity, the ques-
ton is, Is there not some remedy?


Muncie Ind.) correspondent of The
Indianapolis News: What was intend
ed for a joke came nea ending seri-
.Ously yesterday afternoon for DR.. Or
vile L. Boor, a veterinary surgeon. who
is treasurer of the lnditra Veterinary
Graduates Association. During a Sc
we're cold spell, several days ago., he
went to the home Of Robert A.Johnson,
in the country, on a professional call.
While there Mr.. Johnson found in the
snow a black snake frozen stiff and ap-
parently l~ifeless. He took the reptile
to DR.. Boor and said: Here is a nice
walnut cane, carved in the shape of a
snake" DR.. Boor took it gratefully
and put in his buggy without exam
lining il closely, as he was III a hurry.
He put up his horse and buggy in Nc
Lain's livery stable, and thought no
more of his cane until yesterday
when he went to his buggy and found
a blacksnake coiled on the seat, very
angry at being disturbed. His snake
ship had thawed out in the warm liv-
cry stable. and was apparently as much
alive as he ever was. DR.. Boor was
frightened and fled precipitately. The
snake saw his opportunity and escaped

Smoke for Cut Fingers.

The smoke of wooden rags is a cure
for the most dangerous wounds. A
lady ran a machine needle through her
finger. She could not be released till
the machine had been taken to pieces,
and it was found the needle had
broken into three pieces in the flesh.
The process Of extraction was most
difficult, the pain reaching the Shout
der and danger of lOckjaw was feared.
Wooden rags were put on burning Goals
and by holding the finger in the smoke
all pain was driven away and never
returned, though the finger took long
to heal.
The smoke and smell of the burning
rags may be unpleasant, but that is a
slight drawback compared with the
danger of lockjaw, or great pain and
consequent fever. Another instance
was the cure of a wound inflicted by
an enraged cat, which tore the flesh
from the wrist to the elbow and bit
through the f1eshy part of the hand.
One administration of the smoke eX-
tracted all the pain, which had been
%frightful.

prove of interest. Among the 200, 900
Christians at present in the island
barely 1000 belong to the Latin rite,
and these chiefly in the larger towns
Canea, Gambia, and Retimo. When
Venice in 1904 took possession of the
island, which was formerly under the
sway of the Byzantine empire, no less
thar eight episcopal sees were erected,
with an archbishopric at Gambia. 1t is
therefore probable that at that time
nearly the whole island was Catholic.
After 1869, when Crete fell into the
hands of the Turks, the Latin bishops,
with nearly all their clergy, left the
country, which fell into the hands Of
the schismatic Greek clergy, who
about this time came to it. In 1874
Plus TX. restored the ancient see of
Gambia, making it suffragan to the
archbishopric of Smyrna. At present
Fra Angelo di San Giovanni Rotondo
administers the diocese, and has under
him six fathers and five lay brothers
scattered among the various towns.
There are three Latin parishes in the
island, at Canea, Gambia, and Retimo.
and "a mission station, which is occas-
ionally visited, at Sitia. There are
three Catholic churches, four boys and
two girls schools, with 200 pupils, and
at Canea an orphanage and hospital in
the care of the Sisters of St. Joseph.

The Cretans are said to have been
the first people to practice archery,
they having learned the art from
Apollo. Three of England's kings and
two royal princes were killed by ar
rows. Harol4 a"I his rwo brothers
came to their death by arrows shot
from the crOss-b0ws of the Norman
soldiers William Rufus was killed by
an arrow shot at a deer and Richard
L., who revived archery in England,
was finally slain by an arrow Three
great battles of English history,
Crecy 1346), Poictiers 1856 and Agin-
court 1415D were won by the archers.
In those days there We're men who
could shoot an arrow from 300 to 500
yards. and Robin Hood is said to have
shot from 600 to o yards. kenyon
college, Ohio, included archery as one
of the courses of study about three
score years ago.

Bank of England Forgery.

The clever forgery of notes of the
Bank of England, which recently came
to light quite by accident, has created
a sensation from the fact that the
banks own paper, with the proper
water mark, was reproduced. This
had never before been done. The
forged notes were absolutely perfect,
excepting that the secret cipher marks
were lacking. The discovery that the
notes were not genuine was made by
a cashier who happened to have rea-
son formally to check the validity OF
the notes by reference to the cipher
books. About 10000 of the forged
notes have turned up SO far, and it has
been discovered that they were all put
in circulation in n day by being
changed simultaneously at twenty-five
different exchanges in Paris. The gang
is known to be il large one, but so far
the police have been unable to trace Its
members.

SAVED BY HIS PRISONERS.
Men Arrested as Tramps Kept Theii
Captor from Bleeding to Death.

hien Arrested as Tramps Kept Their
Captor from Bleeding to Death.
Deputy Constable Fred Black of
Fruitvale nearly. lost his life recently
while trying to arrest four tramps. He
accidentally stabbed himself while en-
gagged in a battle with two of the men
and had 1t not been for the assistance
OF the other tramps, who refused to run
away, he would have bled to death,
says the San Francisco Examiner.
Black had been informed that many
petty crimes were being committed just
outside the city limits and he went
to round up all the Weary Willies''
in the neighborhood. In a big field
Black came upon four men who were
taking it easy and cooking their din
ner. The tramps were ordered into
line for the march to the county Jail.
All went well until a fence was reached
when W of the fellows showed fight.
Black gave them battle and as they
jumped over the fence the officer drew
a big bowie knife and started in pur-
suit. He missed his footing and fell
from the fence on the huge knife, the
blade of which penetrated his right
thigh, severing one of the main ar
teries. The two fighting tramps made
their escape. The officer called on the
two remaining tramps not to desert
him in his trouble and leave him to
die.
"Pardner, we never desert a man in
the hour of need" remarked n of
them.
The prisoners carefully bandaged
the wounds of the helpless officer and
stopped the flow of blood. Then they
| carried him half a mile to the railroad
track in the hope of getting help. o.
three different occasions n of the
prisoners tagged Southern Pacific
trains, but the engineers would moi
stop.
Finally one of the tramps ran five
miles to Haywards to tell the news
and induced the Haywards local rail
road men to stop the train and pick VI
the officer. Black was unconscious
when removed to his home, but hi.
tramp prisoners remained with hin
until they saw hat he was all right
They were rewarded for their trou
BILE by being given their freedom.

prisoners" said Constable Black. g

1t is a well known fact hat a very
large number of professional cooks, or
cooks who work in hotels and large
boarding houses, are addicted to the
excessive use of %stimulants. Some
ascribe this to the high temperature Of
the kitchen, and consequent eXhaus-
ton; others to the loss of appetite pro-
duced by the constant sight and odor
of food. 1t is also said to be due to
tasting sauces that are favored with
spirits. Exhaustion and lack of appe-
tite are probably the most frequent
causes. On the other hand, men who
are employed about the furnaces of
iron works, the firemen on railroads,
and stokers on steamboats,, are not ad-
dicted to the use of into~xicants; they
could not retain their places if they
were. Whatever the reason for the
intemperance of cooks, it is generally

nails, which We're at the further side of
the forum, of which the construction
was not completed when the city was
covered up. The most striking feature
of this open space is the ruins of the
temple of Venus. A main street of
Pompeii leading from the station is
that known as Strada deli ~Abondanza,
at the corner of which is to be seen
the chalcidicum or exchange, m of
the most beautiful buildings as yet re-
| vealed, it's central hall having been
surrounded by columns of Parian mar
BILE. In the Street of Tombs, however,
a few of the monuments bear the
names and the busts of those to whose
memory they were erected. At the
extreme end of the Strada il the So
called Villa Diomede, which has attrac-
tons alike for the lovers of fact and
fiction, for here were found the bodies
of seventeen women and children who
had sought refuge under the portico,
but were apparently suffocated. The
amphitheater is even farther away
from the center of the city than the
Sepolcri, and it is on this point that
recent excavations have been chiefly
directed, with very important results.
1t must be remembered that Rulwer
Lytton was quite accurate in describ-

at the time of the fatal eruption of Va
suvius, which swallowed up both Pom
peii and Herculaneum, and n Of the
results of the works carried out here
Is to show hat the loss of life on that
occasion was less than formerly sup
posed. The people assembled at the
amphitheater had time to make their
escape to the open country beyond.
Scarcely more than 700 bodies have
been discovered, and the perfect state
in which many of them were found IS
at least negative evidence that time
would not have reduced others to i'm
palpable dust. The activity, however,

facts, that portrait painting, for mural
decoration, was practiced probably by
Greek artists for their Roman patrons.

PROPOSED CHANGE IN CALENDAR

Movement i'm Favor of Changing the
Number of Months t. Thirteen.
Again a movement Is on foot to change
the number of months in the year from
twelve to thirteen, and to bring about the
introduction Of this reformed calendar,
beginning Jan. 1, 1901, or the commence
ment of the twentieth century. The argu-
ments in favor of the thirteen month
year are plausible. 1t is shown that the
frst twelve months of the year would
have twenty-eight days or exactly four
weeks each, while the thirteenth month
would have Twenty-Five days. This would
lead to greater convenience in reckoning
da -es. There would be nc need to refer
10 calendars to determine the day of the
week for a certain date. Thus, if Jan.
1 Tell on Monday, the Mondays through
out the year would fall on the LIST, Sth,
18th and ,22d of each month. The addi-
ton OF another month to the calendar
would be regarded as somewhat radical,
but there is a precedent for it. In an
Gent times the year consisted of ten
months, but July and August We're added
and were named in honor of julius Gaze

With such words of praise from a man of
DR.. Won Spiegel's standing, a regular physi-
clan, a graduate and member of several uni
v~ersities, O man who has built up an enviable
reputation by his many cures, some of which
have been almost miraculous, we are doubly
encouraged to call the attention of suffering
humanity to the merits Of our ~ali-powerful
specifics, The Kickdpoo Indian Remedies.
The best known of these is kickapoo
Indian Sagwa, that greatest of blood puri-
fiers and corrector of all arrangements of the
stomach, kidneys and liver. 1t is purely
vegetable and contains no poisonous ingre-
dents whatever. Thousands are enjoying
healthy, happy, active lives today, who but
for its timely use would now be leading the
miserable life of a dependent cripple, or filling
a premature grave, the victims of bad
blood, nervousness, consumption, dyspepsia,
rheumatism, dropsy, kidney and liver
complaints.
Each year It becomes better known and
more highly appreciated. Each day hundreds
join the happy ones who have been cured by
its use and sing its praise.
We want sufferers everywhere to give tia
single trial. You will be convinced Of it's
merits and bless the day you first heard Of
Sagwa. All druggists sell it. De-

Now, for the first time since that fatal
day whose awful happenings Bulwer
depicts SO graphically-and doubtless
so truly-in his famous romance, the
forum, which was the central feature
OF the place, and the Strada del Sepol-
crl, the principal suburb, can be real
lied in their principal relations. The
early work of clearing the historic city,
pursued with vigor under Murat when
ne found himself temporarily installed
as King of Naples, was set back from
time to time by new eruptions of We
suvius. AS late as 1923 Msis Berry re-
cords in her journal:
