Tech battalion was a close second; aud

from which it appears that the supply has
fallen TO half in seven years. In 1888 the
value of the gas produced was So, 629, $40
In 1895 IL was Sl3, 006 650. In Pennsyl-
yania the fall has been much greater than
in OHIO and Indiana. In 1888 the gas
produced in Pennsylvania was worth
$40 PSI, $780, in 1895 it was s., S52, 900. The
decrease has been less rapid since 1891,
owing to the general introduction of

may not be over ten or fifteen years before

turned his attention 10 mining, the exposure
from which and his life on the plains under
mined u once strong constitution, and rhetl-
matism, liver and Kidney trouble and dropsy
made their unwelcome appearance.
The Hot Springs of Arkansas were visited
in the hope of relief, but he was dsappOint-

long since gone out of business Physicians
were consulted both at home and while on
the road, with only prcuniary benefit TO the
doctors, for Mr.. Clement grew worse instead
of better, and constantly had to lay up for
weeks at a time.

idea of trying DR.. Williams Pink Pills for

THE WIDOW PURVEY'S mis-,
TAKE.
fAmy Randolph in New York Ledger


If you please, mum, Mr.. Marlowe's
compliments, and he'd like a few
words with you, on very especial
business
| taminaa, the maid,of all-work, was
oreathless with the haste she had
made, and her round eyes glistened
like pale-blue marbles. The Widow
Purvey took her hands out of the
batch of biscuits she was kneading up,
and hurrledly shook the -four off her
arms.
'What is it, Mimy?' said she. ANY
thing wrong about his room?
The Lord only knows, said Jemi.
ma, evidently much excited.
Where is he?'
'A.walkin' up and down the best
back parlor like wild beast ma'am,
at a show'
Bless my souln painted Mrs. Pur-
vey, what can have happened?'
And hastily Strengthening her cap
ribbons and trying on ruffled black
silk apron the Widow Purvey made
haste to give audience to her best
boarder.
| The Widow Purvey was fat, fair
and fifty, with little capital, which
she had invested in furniture for q
boarding house, and very fairly she
succeeded, on the whole, especially
since Mr.. Mar!owe, a whimsical old
bachelor, engaged in the Chi
ma trade, had taken her best front
room at her own price.
Gents are always better than la
dies, said Mrs. Purvey to her init
mate friend, Miss Lsrkspur, the mil
liner, Mrs. Hyde is the only lady in
my establishment now, and although
she's quite genteel-French teacher

give her months notice the very
minute hear of an eligible single
gentleman to take her place.

Larkspur, shipping off bias pieces ol

And thus matters stood on the Oc-
tober morning when the Widow Pur
vey hurried up to the back parlol
where Mr.. Godfrey Mar lowe, fine
looking gentleman with healthy
fresh color and iron-grey whiskers
was walking up and down with hi
hands in his pockets.

and rode with the i'll fated party 10 the
place Of meeting.
The story Ct that meeting has been
told many times When :Meacham was
attacked by the bloodthirsty Sconchin,
Wi-ne-ma threw herself ON the savage
and begged him to spare the life of her
white friend. Others coming up, Wine
ma ran from warrior to warrior, turn
ing aside their weapons At last one Of
many bullets struck Meacham senseless,
and the quick witted squaw turned
aside the weapon aimed to finish his
life, with the words, Him dead; no
use shoot" Sconchin tried to scalp
Meacham, when Wi-ne-ma grasped tie
knife. The enraged buck struck her
terrible blow, almost knocking her
senseless. Again the wit of the woman
came into play. 1.-THE soldiers are COM
ing up!" she cried, and the next mo-
ment detachment of troops did appear.
Amid curses from the enraged troopers,
a dozen weapons were leveled at the
breast of the brave squaw. Looking the
mounted men straight i'll the face, she
cried: mo shoot me! 1 tried to save
themP Then came from the ranks the
words of an enlisted man, 1.-THE man
who harms her I'll kill. F"
The same day Wi-ne-ma's husband,
Riddle, was riding horseback and was
shot dead from ambush by Modoc.
The body was dragged many miles over
the trail by the frightened horse. When
the horse stopped, the head and shoul-
ders of the coprse were SO horribly mu-
tilated that the body was unrecogniza-
BILE. Then the three little children of
Wi-ne-ma and Riddle were murdered as
they slept and their bodies burned in
the lrde family dwelling. Wi-ne-ma,
under the cover of darkness and eluding
the hostile members of her race and
family, made her way across the desc
late lava beds to the government post.
She was sick and broken hearted at the
horrible fate of all her family, but she
nevertheless became the constant and
devoted nurse of Colonel Meacham as
he lay in the hospital recovering from
his six gunshot wounds. It was IL
weeks before the colonel was able to
leave his bed. By that time Wi-ne-ma
was almost helpless invalid. She was
an important witness for the govern
ment in the trial of Captain Jack and
his subordinate chiefs for the murder of
General Candy and other officers, and
fer this she herself was shot through the
chest as she sat one evening by win
dow at her lonely home. Colonel Meach-
am gave the little woman chief literally
from his means, and the soldiers at the
pest saw that she never lacked medical
and nursing. philadelphia

Blood

When a horse is poor in flesh,
a new harness won't give him
strength. If a house is cold
new furniture won't warm 1t.
IF your strength is easily ex-
hausted; work a burden;
nerves weak; digestion poor;
muscles soft; if you are pale
and worn out, the trouble is
with the blood. 1t is not so
much IMPURE blood as
POOR blood. Pills won't
make this blood rich; nor will
bitters, nor iron tonics, any
more than a new harness will
give strength to the horse, or
new furniture will make a
house warm. For poor blood
you want something that will
make rich blood.
