Story of n Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George ID. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such
slave was made free. He says:

years that she could not turn over in
bed alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own

AN HISTORIC SHOT.


hom oHapshootefs PICKED Of Gen. Fraser at Saratoga
At Saratoga. the turning point of the
American Revolution. the craftsmanship
OF Morgan's rifiemen virtually decided the
battle
Several times during this engagement
says writer in Hdrper's Mdg1zinc. Col.
Morgan had noticed nobIe-looSing officer
OF the enemy, mounted upon splendid
gray horse, dashing from one end of the
line To the other encouraging his troops.
Morgan recognized the brave fellow as an
officer whose conduct he had admired in the
battle of the 10th of September. 1t was
Gen. Fraser, who was considered by the
Americans a more Skillful and dangerous
leader than Burgoyne. and Morgan him
self regarded the issue of the contest doubt
ful as long as Fraser remained in the saddle.
Soon after the action commenced, Gen.
Arnold, who well knew Fraser's ability,
sought out Morgan and said: THAT officer
upon the gray horse is host in himself.
he must be disposed of. Direct the atten-
ton OF some of your sharpshoOters to him."
Morgan's generous instincts rebelled, but
he saw the necessity of performing the
cruel duty. war, as Macaulay says, rs
never Ienent but where it is wanton."
Selecting II of his best marksmen he
posted them in a suitable position, and,
pointing out the doomed warrior, said to his
men:
He is a brave fellow, but he must die"
oone Oh tne flilemen climbed into trees
to get better sight. Among them was Tim
Murphy, renowned scout from Northum-
berland County, Pa, who, by means of
double-barreled rifle, then a novelty. had
been uncommonly successful in the Indian
wars. The shot was very difficult. for the
distance was nearly quarter of a mile. and
the backwoods rifles had no eleyating
sights. The rifiemen rested their long
pieces on the forks of limbs and began
firing. In a moment the crupper of the
gray horse was cut by bullet The next
minute another ball passed through the
horses name. An Aid remarked to Fraser
Sir. It is evident that you are marked out
for particular aim. Would it not be pru-
dent for you to retire from this place?"
fraser replied: My duty forbds me to fly
from danger" The next instant a bullet
from Murphy's rifle struck him through
the body. and he was carried mortally
wounded from the field.

clearness of the atmosphere, which lends an
appearance OF proximity to remote objects,
