200 yards Of the blazing rifle. A quick re-
coil of the heavy gun turns the hunter half
round; there Is an unnatural splash which
tells the man something has happened. He
strains str MS eyes; no need of his glass to see
there Is blood In the water, and this tells
him that there is big hole somewhere in
that $500
No need to shoot again; no otter could
bleed like that and not be washed ashore.
The hunter lays down his heated gun:
there will be no more otters in sight today.
He sees his game almost opposite his tower;
IL Is drifting helplessly toward the shore.
That skin is his and its possession means
that he will have everything he wants for
shot.
The fierce gieam Of desire has left his
dirty face and has been replaced by one
of possession. He Is wild with JOY. How
he wishes he could get down from that
tower and be at the spot where the otter
will be thrown up on the sand. but he must
wait until the tide falls little. One of
his half-breed boys, who Is ten or eleven
years old. is moping lazily along the beach;
his quick eye detects something. Like a
frightened wolf he leaps over the sand
and Is soon beside the dead otter.
With yell of delight he flies toward the
shanty on the bluff to tell his mother and
the half dozen or so of other little half
come trooping down the beach as fast as
their legs can carry them.
The tide IS going out now and the blood
Of the otter stains the sand which has
lured him to destruction. and the ebbing
ripples tenderly caress for the last time the
pretty animal which has been their play
mate all its life, and the sea will moan for
the free-born thing which has always had
a home in it's bosom.
Some way or another the news spreads
quickly and other hunters and crowds OF
Siwashes come trooping toward the dead
otter from all directions

A MISERABLE MAN.
Two Years and Six Months
Without Sleep.

Sleep seems to be in many cases a
matter of habit. Just as eating and
drinking are habits. The Arab, whose
desert life leads to abstemousness,
declines the offer of a draught OF
water, saying: mo thank you,
drank Yesterday" He drinks only
when thirsty, and like his own camels.
he can go long and far without water.
It's much the same with sleep.

But Somehow 1t Failed to Suit the
Collector of Antiques.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
New Orleans Is still a fine hunting
ground for antique furniture said local
auctioneer, "and scores of northern tour
lists prowl over the field every winter look
ing for treasure trove in that line. It Is
lots of fun. and sometimes they pick up
a good thing. In that connection can tell
you rather a quaint little story. Last fall
a Boston woman, who il well known here
and a great collector Of antiques, was look
ing UP an address In Ursuline street, and
stopped at a certain house to make some
inquiries. While talking with q widow and
her daughter. who live on the premises,
she caught sight Of a beautiful old Dutch
cabinet in the front room. The doors were
ornamented with carved figures Of the
apostles. and the brass hinges and lock
were In themselves hne examples Of early
eighteenth century workmanship. The
Boston visitor was greatly interested, OF
course, but she was in a hurry, and, keep
ing the address, promised to call again and
make an offer eor the curfo. A day or two
later, however, she was summoned north.
and 1t was only last month that she wrote
to say she would be In the city shortly and

is that catarrh in its commonest or
simplest form is menace not merely
to health. but to life. Catarrh of the
lungs is but step removed from con-
sumption. Catarrhal affections
should. therefore. never be neglected.
They are as dangerous as they are
offensive.
For twelve wears | was a sufferer
from catarrh and was treated by one

termission day and night. When one
felt the need of sleep he lay on a
couch, holding in his hand ball,
beneath which. on the floor, was a
brazen bowl. When his muscles re-
laxed sufficiently to release the ball.
it fell into the bowl. and the noise
wakened the sleeper, who resumed
his work.
But it is one thing to give up sleep
and another thing altogether to be
unable to sleep. Those who suffer
from asthma. bronchitis and other
diseases of the organs of respiration
are only too familiar with this en-
forced wakefulness. They would
give almost anything for a nights
unbroken rest.
THE SECRET OF SLEEP
for them lies in the cure of the dis
eases which Danish slumber. That
this cure is possible is abundantlv
proven bv those who have used Doc
tor Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
coverv for the cure of bronchitis, OBJ
stinate and deep-seated coughs, lung
trouble" and other diseases OF the
organs of respiration.

they touched up the apostles with pink

The mental activity of Russian wom-
en- is showing itself in the medical pro-
fesslon. 1t took a long time for the
Government to recognize them, but now
they are not only employed in Govern
ment positions, but last year they be-
came entitled to a pension. According
to a recent consular report they occu-
py positions as county physicians,
school physicians, physicians for the
poor, etc. Last year a band OF female
physicians went to Turkestan to fight
the plague, and they were singularly
successful. Another female physician
has succeeded in having a sanitarium
for consumptives established in st. Pc
tersburg. With the openings for phys
isicians in this territory it is remarka-
Bile that so few female physicians have
established themselves here. There is
an excellent field for far more female
physicians than we have at present.
