matey $4,000, an increase of not quite 500 600

friends of the property that the preferred stock

without reason, as, estimating the gross earnings
of the road for the present year to be the same as
last, although weekly returns continue to show in

the cavalry line there burst into view,
full tear for safety, the uncouth, yet
marvelousiy swift-running leaders of
the little herd. The whole dozen came
flying across the sky line and down
the gentle slope, heading well around
to the left of the line of troopers, while
sticking to their fianks like red net
ties half dozen warriors rode like
the wind on their nimble ponies, crack
ing away with revolver or rifle in saw
age joy in the glorious sport. Too
much for Burleigh's nerve was the
combination of sounds, thunder of
hoofs and sputter of shots, for when 4
cheer of sympathetic delight went up
from the soldier line at the sight of the
chase, and the young engineer sprang
to the door of the ambulance to help
the major out, he found him limp and
ghastly heap. quivering with terror in
the bottom of the wagon, looking for
all the world as if he were trying to
crawl under the seat.

MISS ANTHoNY's ARGUMENT.
1t Fell Like Bomb In the Midst of
Her Male Antagonists and
Settled Them,

Miss Susan B. Anthony, the veteran
woman sutfragist, has always had
lively wit, and there is more than one
example in her recent life, by Mrs. Ida
Hustled Harper, of her nimble use of it
in the behalf of her sex, says Youths
Companion.
During her experience as a school
teacher Miss Anthony got her first
practical insight into society's injus-
tice to woman as a worker. Repeated
ly she would take school which a
male teacher had been obliged to give
up because of inefficiency, and, al
though she made thorough success,
would receive only one-fourth of his
salary.
Her first opportunity of calling at
tention to the injury done the teach
ing profession by sighting its women
members came during the state con-
vention in 1853. Two-thirds of the
teachers in attendance were women,
but not one of them spoke, nor was
their presence recognized in any way
by the men.
Toward the close of the second day
the question under discussion was:
"Why the profession of teacher was
not as much respected as that of doc.
tor, lawyer or minister?"
Miss Anthony, having listened for
some time, rose, but only succeeded in
gaining a hearing after half an hours
heated debate as to whether she
should be permitted to address the
meeting. She had remained standing.
fearing to lose her chance, with her
heart beating tattoo, and permis-
sion being granted, she said:
''lt seems to me you fail to compre-
hend the cause of the disrespect of
which you complain. Do you not see
that so long as society says that wom-
an has not brains enough to be doc
tor, lawyer or minister, but has ple...
ty to be a teacher, every man of you
who condescends to teach tacitly ad-
mits before Israel and the sun that
he has no more brains than a WON
an?"
AS may be imagined, this little
bomb was disconcerting to men and
women alike.

The Government officials Expect that

Of Yellow Metal Steadily Grows.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The largest
stock of gold coin and bullion ever
held in the United States is now ac-
cumulated in the treasury and its
branches. The total has been rising
steadily during the whole of the
present year and is now $474, Jos, 1886,
or about $76,00O,000 greater than 1T
the close of 1899.
This gold is not all the direct prop
erty of the United States, but is held
against outstanding gold certificates.
The amount of these, less the amount
in the treasury and its branches, was
$3.50, 753,S09 on Wednesday. All the
remaining gold, amounting to about
S243 100000, belongs to the treasury
as a part of the reserve fund OF $780,
900, 900.
The influx of gold into the treasury
comes partly from the new gold from
the Klondike and other mines. but its
retention is due to the pressure for
currency, which also leads to the ac-
ceptance of gold certificates and 9th
er paper money in preference to coin.
The treasury recently has been ship
ping small notes in large quantities
to New Orleans and other points
upon deposits of gold in the New
York sub-treasurY by the New York
reserve agents Of the southern banks.
The fact that S414,10S,33 is thus ac-
cumulated in sense under a single
authority enables an estimate to be
made of some of the other visible
gold resources of the country. The
national banks reported gold hold
ings on September ) of about $3l2,-
100000, of which amount Sllj,O1s,140
was in the gold certificates issued by
the treasury. The remainder, about
$197 100000, if added to the visible
gold in the treasury, makes a total il
these two classes of eStu blishments
alone of about S670,0O0, 900. This $
more than the entire estimated stock
of gold in the United States at the
close of 1895.
The gold supply of the country on
the last day of 1896 was estimated at
5000 ,947,212. The estimated amour.
November /, 1900, was S1,0S0, ,407
and it is probable that the report for
December will show at least Sl,l00,-
100000. The treasury officials are
confident that the round sum Of S415,-
100000 in treasury gold holdings will
,oon be attained, and that even $780,
100000 is not beyond reasonable eH-
pectation.

appeared one moment from sight, then,
suddenly reappearing, came laboring
up the hither side, straight for the
crest on which they lay, dozen black,
bounding, painting beasts laundering
over the ground, followed by half
dozen darting Indian ponies, each with
his 1.-the rider scurrying in pursuit.
"Out of the way, men! Don't fire!"
shouted Dean. And, scrambling back
toward their horses, the lieutenant
and his men drew away from the front
of the charging herd, invisible as yet
to the halted troop and to the occu-
pants of the ambulance, whose eager
heads could be seen poked out at the
side doors of the leading vehicle, as
though watching for the cause of the
sudden halt.
And then thiag happened that at
least one man saw and fortunately
remembered later. Bryan, the trum-
peter, with jabbing heels and tapping
arms, was tearing back toward the
troop at the moment at the top speed
of his gray charger, already so near
that he was shouting to the sergeant
in the lead. By this time, too, that vet
eran trooper, with the quick sense of
duty that seemed to inspire the war
time sergeant, had jumped his little
column front into line" to meet the
unseen danger; so that now, with car
bines advanced, some thirty blue jack
cts were aligned in the loose fighting
order of the prairies in front of the
foremost wagon. The sight of the dis
tant officer and men tumbling hur-
riedly to one side, out of the way pre-
sumably of some swiftly-coming peril,
acted like magic on the line. Carbnes
were quickly brought to ready, the
gun locks cracking in chorus as the
horses pranced and snorted. But il
had varying effect on the occupants
of the leading wagon. The shout of
"Indians" from Bryan's lips, the sight
of scurry on the ridge ahead brought
the engineer and aid-de-camp spring
ing out, rife in hand, to take their
manly part in the coming fray. 1t
should have brought Maj. Burleigh too,
but that appropriately named non
combatant never showed outside. An
instant more and to the sound of rising
thunder, before the astonished eyes of

toms, and no woman should allow
herself to reach such a perfection of
misery when there is absolutely no
need of it. The subject of our por-
trait in this sketch, Mrs. Williams of
Englishtown, Nj, has been entirely
cured of such illness and misery by
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and the guiding advice of Mrs.
Pinkham of Lynn, Mass.
No other medicine has such record
for absolute cures, and no other medi-
cine is "just as good" Women who
want a cure should insist upon getting
Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound when they ask for it at store.
Anyway, write "a letter to Mrs. Pink
ham at Lynn, Mass, and tell her all
your troubles. Her advice is free.

acted as though they were totally un-
aware of the presence of troops, but
the more he thought the more he
knew that no big body of Sioux would
be travelling across country at so crit
ical a time Country, too, that was
conquered as this was from their enc
mics, the Crows), without vigilant
scouts afar out on front and flank.
The more he thought the more he
knew that evan as early as three
o'clock those keen-eyed fellows must
have sighted his little column, con-
spicuous as it was because of its wag-
ons. Beyond question: he told him
self, the chief of the band or village
so steadily approaching from the
northeast had full information of their
presence. and was coming confidently
ahead. What had he to fear? Even
though the blood of settlers and sol
diers might still be red upon the hands
of his braves, even though fresh scalps
might be dangling at this moment
from their shields, what mattered it?
Did he not know that the safeguard of
the Indian bureau spread like the wing
of protecting angel over him and his
people, forbidding troops to molest or
open fire unless they themselves were
attacked? Did he not laugh in his
ragged shirt sleeve at the policy of the
white fool who would permit the red
enemy to ride boldly up to his soldiers,
count their numbers, inspect their ar
ray, satisfy himself as to their arma-
- Ia L
chances, and, if he thought the force
Ptoo strong, ride on his way with only
a significant gesture in parting in
suit? If, on the contrary, he found it
weak, then he could turn loose his
braves, surround, massacre and scalp,
and swear before the commissioners
sent out to investigate next moon that
he and his people knew nothing about
the matter-nothing, at least, that
they could be induced to tell.
One moment more Dean watched and
waited. Two of the Indians in the
ravine were busily reloading their
rifles. Two others were aiming over
| the bank, for, with the strange stupid
| ity of their kind, the other buffalo,
never sought safety in fight, but were
now shifting the odor of blood on the
tainted air and slowly, wonderingly
drawing near the stricken leader as
| though to ask what allied him. Obe-
| dent and docile the Indian ponies stood
with dropping heads, hidden under
the shelter of the steep banks. Nearer
| and nearer came the big black animals,
bulky, stupid, fatuous; the foremost
| lowered huge head to sniff at the
| blood oozing from the shoulder of the
| dying bull, then two more shots puffsd
out from the ravine, the huge head
tossed suddenly in air, and the un-
| gainly brute started and staggered,
| whirled about and darted few yards
away, then plunged on its knees, and
| the next moment, startled at some
sight the soldier watchers could not
see, the black band was seized with
sudden panic and darted like mad into
the depths of the -watercourse, dis
