about five years ago 1 was troubled
with catarrh of the lower bowel" says
c. Il. Chisholm, 4S4 Dearborn Ave, Chi
cago, and though / consulted several
eminent physicians who prescribed for
me, 1 found their remedies failed to in
any way relieve me, and the trouble
almost became chronic. After suffering
several months, one day concluded to
try Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and I beg to assure
you that / was most agreeably sur
prised to find after taking two doses of
the remedy that 1 was completely re-
lieved OF the disease that cost me so
much trouble and annoyance. I am
thankful to say that have not suffered

CATS CAN SWIM,
An Old F!sherman's Story In Illustration
of That Fact.

Can cats swim?" was asked of an
old fisherman. Why, certainly" was
the reply. land that reminds me of a
cat l once tried to drown that swan
ashore. Surely there must have been
hundreds or thousands of people who
have drowned cats in the same way,
but nevertheless this was an expert
ence Of my own. We had a cat that We
wanted to get rid of, and as humane a
way as any to kill it was by drowning.
So / put couple of bricks In the bot
tom OF an old grain sack and put In
the cat, and tied the bag up carefully
and securely and walked down to the
end OF wharf and stood there and
swung the bag, with the cat and the
bricks in It round like a sling until I
could give 1t good momentum and
then let 1t go, and slung It out to fall
and sink In the water. I should say
twenty feet away. ! supposed, of
course, that that was the last of the
cat, but the next morning the first
thing / saw when / went out of the
house was the cat sitting on the YER
anda. ! suppose the bag had a weak
spot In 1t somewhere. the bricks were
heavy and sharp-cornered, and swing
ing the bag round that way started
1t more, and the cat was desperate;
and with the bag that way 1t scratched
and tore its way out and got to the
wharf and clawed its way up and came
ashore. Can cat swim7 Why, sure!"

war Is over, you can assert your wife's
claim"
But, John, have you gone daft?
Such a plan in the house where Ed
ward rules and will summon all the
servants to his aid sthe instant we ap-
pear. He did so just now, at the time
of my arrest" A..
"Pshaw, the servants! They are
only negroes. and not one will lift his
hand against us as soon as we say
we are officers in the Union army. The
fellows are constantly coming in
throngs to seek protection with us.
You were not known to them, or else
they were afraid of Captain Wilson
and Harrison. The servants are not
to be feared. I'll undertake to deal
with the justice and his companion. So
no one Is left except your beloved fu-
ture relattve-and he must be made
harmless.
You mean that we are to attack
him in his room?"
No; that is too uncertain, and
will create an unnecessary stir In the
house. l have a better plan. AS
soon as you are at liberty, Ralph
shall announce, apparently in great
trepidation, that his young mistress
has suddenly disappeared. He has
looked for her in vain. OF course, she
can be only in one place. Harrison
Will rush here as fast as possible to
Illustrate the attempt at liberation,
and we shall have him in our hands.
Then he can occupy the place which
ne so kindly selected for you. and you
can use his marriage contract-the
simplest exchange possible"

1lied William. Am l secretly, craft

Stop, VIII! My patience Is being

rupted. Don't bother me again with
your German slowncss and stupidity,
or Ill leave you behind bolts and bars.
One cant lead good fortune straight
to your arms. You must first inspect
It on all sides-subject it to a critical

of course / do. But"
Very well, then, the matter ia set

It's abominable to expect best man
first to drag the bridegroom from be-
hind so many iron bars. but you must
have some unusual circumstance con-
nected with it. One thing more: Of
course you have no weapons"
Should l have been captured other
wise? l certainly would not have sur
rendered with arms in my hands"
Il anticipated that and concealed
two pistols about me. There, now I've
finished. Try your strength and see
II you can tear out the grating"
The file had worked unweariedly all
the time, had cut through the larger
! portion Of the grating and looseped the
rest, but the iron still held. William
tugged and shook in vain, and there
was no more time to lose. But the
consciousness of danger lent the
young man unnatural strength. After
few unsuccessful efforts he again
seized the grating and. with a last,
violent struggle, wrenched 1t from It's
fastenings. The opening was made;
and, after few anxious moments, Ro-
land had forced his way through, and
was standing in the corridor beside
his friend.
Here" said the latter, laconically.

William uttered a sigh OF relief
when he found himself free and felt
the weapon in his hand.
Il thank you, john" he cried en-
Enthusiastically after his retreating
friend. You are right. We two will
rule the whole household"
Yes, that is just to your taste!"
returned Maxwell, tartly. This time
we really must run our heads against
the wall, and II 1t happens to stand
firmer than we expect, 1t will cost US
our lives. You have arranged mat
tiers so that we have no choice. But
keep quiet! Harrison may come at
any moment; the fighting will begin.

out upon the garden. Edward could
not send the gentlemen, who had TAX
en- the long ride In vain, back to the
city Immediately; so he had invited
them TO dinner. Mr.. Thompson could
not find words enough to express his
regret and sympathy for the sorrow
overhanging the household, but he
saw no reason why he should not have
comfortable meal on that account
He thought It perfectly natural that
Edward should excuse himself and re-
main In the drawing-room. No one
could feel offended with the grief
stricken nephew. but he himself dis
cussed all the more eagerly the good
things set before him, and was ably
supported by his clerk.
The old gentleman only regretted
Doctor Blackwood's absence, and ad-
mired the sense of duty which would
not permit him even to appear at din
ner. He was just giving his factotum
a discourse concerning this distin-
guished physician, at the same time
helping himself to large piece of
roast meat. His factotum listened
most dutifully and took a still larger
slice, when the subject of the con-
versation suddenly entered.
"Ah, there you are, Doctor Black
wood" cried the judge. "Sit down.
Unfortunately you have come a little
late. We have had the roast serv-
ed"
The doctor bowed in the most
charming manner. and signed to the
servant, who had just brought in the
dishes, to leave the room.
Thank you. l am very sorry to dis
turb you, but there Is business mat
ter to be settled. which admits Of no
delay"
"A business affair? Is there a will
to be nader"
mo, on the contrary, the matter
concerns a wedding"
Mr.. Thompson dropped his knife
and fork and stared at the speaker In
the utmost establishment.
The ceremony is put Off Mr.. Har-
rison told me himself that he was
compelled to defer it for the present"
Certainly, and he will probably do
so altogether; but another person has
taken his place-Mr. William Roland"
What? What did you call him."
William Roland. The circumstances
have entirely changed, and unfortu-
nately l have not time to explain them
TO you In detail. But, in the name of
the betrothed couple, l beg of you to
perform the wedding ceremony at
once"
The magistrate leaned back in his
chair, assuming a dignified attitude
and solemn, official manner.

picture was purchased at auction by
Henry Pratt Mexican In 1854 for $3.50.
Concerning the history of the copy OF
this picture now offered for sale to
Philadelphia, the following Is an ex-
tract from a communication received
by Director Ritter from Thomas K.
Kirby Of the American Art association:
Replying to your inquiries In refer
ence to the portrait of Gen. Washing
ton by Charles Wilson Peale, now In
our possession, we will state that the
painting was purchased In Cadiz. Spain.
in February, 1895, by our Paris agent,
M. Montaignac. This painting for
many years was In the hands Of bank
ers in Cadiz, held as collateral, and
although they knew the work to be the
portrait of an American general, did
not know 1t to be a portrait of our i'm
mortal Washington. M. Montaignac, In
sending the work to US, states that the
picture was ordered to be painted by
Don Juan MaraiIles, Spanish minister
to the United States in 1873, in con-
nection with Gen. Washington's pres
ence In Philadelphia. While Peale
painted seven or eight similar por-
traits, we consider the one In our pos
session the finest sample he produced.
and failing to find the slightest hint
OF retouching or restoration. We also
believe that our portrait Is the only
one having the signature of artist and
date 17Sl). Before sending the por-
trait to us our agent showed the pic
ture in Paris, and We quote from a
letter written by well-known con-
nOisseur, G. A. Lucas, an intimate
friend of the late William H. Stewart
of Philadelphia, the famous connois-
seur:
Dear NJ. Montsignac: So much in
terested was in the Peale portrait of
Washington now In your possession
that, after seeing It. l visited Versailles
in order to examine one by the same
artist which has been In the gallery
for great many years, and was glad
to find that your portrait. according to
my judgment, is superior to 1t both in
execution of the figure and the access
series, the latter in the Versailles one
having all the appearance of having
been painted by another than that OF
Peale. The Versailles portrait Is un-
signed: yours bears the artists sigma
ture. hope. as you tell me Its destina-
ton is America, that 1t will a perma-
nent resting place In a public gallery.

ARCTIC MOSQUITO.
The Most Terrible Insect Pest In the
World.

Nothing that has ever been written
about the Arctic mosquito begins to
come UP to the real thing" said guest
in the st. Charles corridor to the New
Orleans Times-Democrat man. "I
went up the Yukon river in the sum
mer OF SO, representing the Alaska and
Dominion Trading company, and we
struck mosquitoes as soon as we got
into the hills. They are twice as large
as our familiar bayou species, and
their sting is like the prod of a hot
needle. They sweep along the valleys
in dense clouds, and IL they catch a
man unprepared they are liable to
blind him before he can escape. /
heard stories of children being stung to
death, and can readily believe them.
Whenever we went ashore We wore
heavy hat nets and took the utmost
precaution, and were certain to suffer
more or less. One of our party cut
the tongues out of his shoes and a mar
row line OF sock was exposed under
the lacing. Next day he was bitten
there at least hundred times, and his
feet were so terribly int1amed that the
shoes had to be cut off. Another man.
a fireman in the boat crew, got drunk
on Alaska whisky one afternoon and
lay down to take a nap in the corner OF
the engine room. l noticed him a
little later, and was Mortified at the
solid brown mass of mosquitoes that
had settled on a small exposed section
Of his cheek and throat. In an hour
his face was swollen out OF all resem-
blance to anything human. he was I'M
able TO swallow, and was burning with
fever. 1t was a week before he was
able to be about. saw a number of
cattle near Fort Hamilton that had
been made stone blind by stings near
the eye. The Arctic foothill MOSQUITO

been painted by the noted Philadelphia
artist, Charles Wilson Peale, in 1881.

visitors to the hall, particularly as the
painting has been hung In its present

marked in loud voice:
There ia death in the pot"
A great excitement ensued; the
guests, who were in full uniform, drew
their swords, and murmurs OF Death
to the traitor!" were heard on every
side.
Then Washington sent for Mistress
Blessing, who came with defiant light
in her eye, and was given the seat of
honor at her hosts right hand. She
took 1t with dignity that called forth
approving and admiring comments.
Soldiers are proverbially gallant. and
those Of "'76" were no exception TO the
rule.
A servant was next sent out by the
commander-in-chief on a peculiar err
rand. He returned. bringing with him
live and particularly active chicken,
which partook eagerly OF the dish Of
peas.
And in FIVE minutes by the watch It
lay dead In their midst.
Betsey Ann Blessing married her
lover, after turning him into a patriot,
and Washington himself gave away
the bride. How much he knew re-
