BABYs SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with ScrofuIa Sores.
sAt the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on hisright
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. l also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Ssrsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med

Just in the same manner that the human
leopards array themselves in leopard
skins and conceal themselves in the
branches of trees, ready to pounce down
upon and rend to pieces with their iron
claws the unwary white man or native
who passes along the forest gladeS, SO do
the human alligatorS when swimming
conceal the head beneath that of an ALL
gator hide.
Often when a canoe filled with blacks or
a boat manned by white men sails up or
drifts down those rivers, which constitute
almost the only means of transit in the
tinent, they will pass what are apparently
a, school OF ordinary alhgators, lazily
sleeping with their eyes closed, and only
their heads emerging from the water.
Inasmuch as alligators Will rarely attack
a boat Of any decent size unless in self
/ defense, or else when driven thereto by
starvation, little or no attention is paid
! TO them. But let the boat anchor in the
/ river or get tied up to the bank in order
! to permit its occupants to recuperafe
! from their fatigue and from the effects
/ Of the heat by means of sleep, and it will
| soon be observed that these aliigaHors
! quietly flock toward the spot.
| And as soon as ever they have reached
! the side of the Inflated bark, every alli-
! gator head will rise from the water and
/ show that appended thereto is not the
/ scale-covered body of the vicious animal.
! but the black and 1.-THE body of a man.
Without uttering g sotInd they fall upon
! their sleeping pref, cuttine their fhroats
J with crosses or Silort-curVed knives
and drinking the blood as it spurts from
the wound.
| Once the work of slaughter accom-
plished, the flesh of the victim is devoured
/ sometimes after a pretense of roasting,
/ but more generally uncooked. For the
! human alligators, like the human Loop
ards, are cannibals. and are convinced
that by feasting on human flesh they not
only add TO their own strength and pro-
I long their lives, but also that they are
serving the deity or fetish to the Wor-
ship of which they are addicted.
1t is the religious element in the matter
| that saves these human alligators, and
/ likewise the human leopards from pun
ishment. For the authorities can get no
assistance in the matter from the natives.
who not only fear the vengeance of these
| cannibais. but also are convinced that
they would be bewitched if they did any
thing TO harm them.

Still grumbling, he passed the girl to
go upstairs. Seized with q sudden idea,
she ran lightly up after him and
watched him enter his room. Then she
came down again. He went into the
room under mothers" she said grasp
ing her sisters arm tightly. I'VE were
not mistaken Merciful heavens, what
does it mean?"
Even. the inspector of police, the ON
ndscient OF Paris, could not tell them
that. He took their evidence gravelyr
promised them all possible help, and
advised them to wait patiently in the
same hotel for further developments
With little calmness Of mind they
finally accepted his advice.
1t was a long, anxious wait for the
girls Weeks passed without bringing
any trace of their mother. The expo
sition was over and Paris was almost
emptied of her crowds before the in
spector came to them with any definite
news.
Then one day the look on his face
told. them that at last they were &c

his explanation.

to avoid disturbing her daughters
summoned a physician by messenger
BY the time he arrived she was uncon.
scious, and the doctor announced thai
she had case of black smallpox
Without any delay she was put into
I an ambulance and carried to a hos
pital, and there-the inspector told il
as gently as he could-sne died a few
days afterward.
But all was not yet explained. The
room, the maids story, the lists?
If a whisper about this dread disease
should spread among the great crowd:
! in the city a panic would follow, finan-
cial ruin might ensue, the evil effect:
would be enormous. The matter mus
be kept out of the popular mouth. AND
so in one night everything in theil
mothers room had been changed, he
name had been erased from the hote
lists, and for the good of the city he
two daughters had been sacrificed.

had seen the street lights the night be-

A trim little maid was sweeping the
corridor, and of her they inquired
anXiously: Can you tell us where the
lady is who occupied that room last

-'Mamselle must be mistaken the
maid insisted. No person has slept
there for years. It is the order of lie

The two girls sent her to summon the
proprietor to the spot, waited for him
impatiently, and interrupted his polite
greeting with the question if this was
not the room he had given to their
mother the night before.
The proprietor surveyed them Curl
ously Your mother?" he repeated.

The sisters stared at him. He had

An impatient explanation came from
the elder sister. We three my mother,
NY sister and l, came last night
The man interrupted her with ges-
fure. Pardon, nademoiselle, he cor
rected, you and your sister were the
only ones who came.
EVEN HER NAME HAD DISAP-
FEARED.
The girl smiled an annoyed smile and
suggested that the hotel lists would
corroborate her words. But her face
paled when the clerk repeated what the
proprietor had said. and she ran he1
finger unsteadily down the line. Her
name, her sisters, yes-her mothers

Up at Fort Douglas the days pass by

CURED to worry the soldiers was pay
day. That is a joyous day for them,
but with it come those parasites that
cling to the soldiers for their sus-
tenance and life. 1t seems that when
the soldiers are paid, every sharper and
other form Of money gra bling human

the unsuspecting blue-coat. From
morning to night, until their money is
gone, do these men hang about the

the usual number of dealers and duns
were in the post trying to get their
hands on at least part of the money.

Heavy New Engines and Cars
for the Gulf.
What is Good for the Railroads is
Usually Good for Other
Industries.

With a surplus of 100000 in the treas
ury the Gulf railroad decided that it
could afford to increase its rolling stock
and 30 half OF the surplus is being ex
pended IN buying more engines and cars.
In fact the increased business OF the
Gulf demanded more cars, and SO Cen
eral Superintendent Dunaway OF Den
ver, went East to make the purchases.
Upon his return to Denver Saturday
last the Times interviewed him and pub
lishsd the following very in; eresting re-
port:
General Superintendent T. F. Duna-
away of the Union Pacific, Denver &
Gulf road returned to the city this
morning, after an absence Of ten days
While away, Mr.. Dunaway visited New
York and the principal cities of the East
and placed orders for about 100000
worth of equipment for the road in the
shape OF rolling stock. He first visited
the Baldwin Locomotive works in Phila-
delphia, and there placed an order for
five big freight locomotives, known as
consolidation engines, weighing seventy
tons zach, and equipped with all mod.
ern appliances, including steel tired en-
gine truck wheels. These engines are to
de delivered in twenty days from Nov
ember u when they were ordered. They
will cost about s11 900 each.
with the Wells French company OF
Chicago Mr.. Dunaway placed an order
for fifty refrigerator cars, thirty feet
long, and fitted with double insulating
appliances and Thomas ventilators.
These will be pressed into service in the
transportation of potatoes this winter
and will be used for fruit next summer
"'Hhe St. Charles Car company of st.
Charles, Mo-, secured an order from the
for $50 modernly con-
structsd box cars, 10000 pounds cap
acity each. Both the refrigerators and
box cars are to be delivered within tho
month Of December. The recent rush
Of freight has compelled the Gulf road
to increase its freight equipment.
"Mr. Dunaway states that all the en-
gine and car shops are crowded to their
utmost capacity, and that the general
business outlook in the East is most en-
couraging.'
1t will be only question OF few
months now until the Gulf will be lay
ing track south from Pueblo. and it can
be said that that line is inaugurating a
boom in railroading.

PUEBLo's -four mill went to the wall
on account Of a lack Of capital. Other
home industries have done the same
thing. Some lay these unfortunate oc-
currences to want of home patronage,
and, to a certain sytent, such is tho case.
However, the only way to establish a
business is to establish it on sound bust
moss principles, i. e., have sufficient cap
ital to carry it along until it becomes a
necessity and then competition can't
kill it. 1t must expect competition and
must succeed on it's merits. A man will
get left in any town if he depends upon
the "home patronage cry" to carry
him through. People will buy as
a rule where they can buy the
cheapest, quality considered, and that
is the long and the short of 1t.
This may be hard way to look at it
but safe and practical one and any
body who has observed the business af-
fairs Of this city for the past several
years knows it to be case. The Pueblo
-four mill will be SUCCESS when it has
sufficient capital to back it up.

Of greater benefit to Pueblo than full

were not properly constructed in the
