Prince AIbert's Courage.

Lord Playfair was one of the most
honored and conspicuous figures in
Great Britain during the last half
century. When he was in the Univer-
sity of Edinburgh the prince of Wales
was one of his pupils. One day the
two were standing near cauldron
containing lead, which was boiling at
white heat. HAS your royal highness
any faith in science?" asked Playfair.
Certainly" was the prompt reply.
Playfair then carefully washed the
princes hand in ammonia to get rid
OF any grease on it, and then said:
"Will you now place your hand in
this boiling metal and ladle out por-
ton of it?" do you tell me to do
this?" asked the prince. 81 do" was
the answer. The prince instantly put
his hand into the cauldron and ladled
out some of the boiling lead without
sustaining any injury. Nowadays the
feat is frequently performed, but in
those days it was a novelty, which
makes the courage and confidence of
Albert Edward equally remarkable.

ly northward up the winding gorge,
the pack horses numbering alongside,
Eagerly Dean and Bruce in the lead
looked right and left for game trail
leading up the slope, for well they
knew that the moment their reepforce-
ments came the warriors would dash
into the rayine and, finding their an
tagonists fled, would pursue along the
banks. 1t would never do to be caught
i'll such trap. A gallop of a quarter
of mile and, off to the right, branch
ravine opened out to higher ground,
and into this the leaders dove and.
checking speed, rode at the trot until
the ascent grew steep. Five minutes
more and they were we'll up toward
the head of the gulch and presently
found themselves nearly on level with
the hillsides about them. Here, too,
were scattered pine trees and few
scrub oak. The timber, then, was close
at hand. Signaling halt to the climb
ing column, Dean and Bruce, spring
ing from saddle, scrambled up the bank
to their right and peered cautiously
back down over the tumbling waves of
the foothills, and what they saw was
enough to blanch the cheek of even
veteran Indian fighters.
Far over to the east, beyond an in
tervening ridge and under the dun
cloud of dust, the earth was black for
miles with herds of running buffalo.
Far down to the southeast, here, there
and everywhere over the land, the
slopes were dotted with little knots of
Indian braves-they could be nothing
else-all riding like mad, coming
straight toward them. Machpealota
probably had launched his whole force
on the trail of the luckless troopers.

RetOrt Courteous,

A recent English visitor to India
relates the following incident of trav-
ell to show the character of the inter
course between the English and the
resident population of that country.
The Parsees have been scarcely longer
in the peninsula than have the Eng
lish. They are the ancient fire wor-
shippers of the east.
Another Englishman and I were
on the night train, and we were the
sole occupants of the compartment.
1t was near midnight and we were
stretched on our respective couches,
when our slumbers were disturbed
by the entrance of a family of four
or five Parsees, among whom were a
lady and child and an old gentle
man of somewhat feeble but refined
appearance. OF course, although we
were not disturbed, there was a lit
tie conversation and discussion while
couches were being prepared and
berths let down, and so forth, till at
last my fellow countryman, losing his
little store of patience, rolled over
among his rugs with a growl: 4
wish you would stop that chattering,
you Rarsees!' To which remark, when
they had settled themselves a little.
one of the men replied: Please go to
sleep now, Mr.. Gentleman '"-Youth's
Companion.

CHAPTER XVIII.

Remonstrance on part of his men
would have been violation of their
rules of order. Obedient to the lieuten-
ants instructions, Sergt. Bruce, with
evident reluctance, lowered his hand.
Whoever these Indians were they well
understood the principles that gov
erned civilized warfare. They well
knew that the white soldiers would re-
spect flag of truce, though in their
own vernacular they referred to the
sacred emblem only as a fool flag"
and sometimes used it, as did the Mo-
docs five years later, to lure officers
into ambush and deliberately murder
them. They knew the white soldiers
would take no advantage of foemen
gathered for conference or parley, and
thus far the Sioux themselves had OBJ
served the custom which the Modocs
basely violated when in cold blood they
slaughtered Gen. Candy and the peace
commissioners sent to treat with them,
Confidently, therefore, came the two
young warriors, but as Dean raised
himself from the ground and was
about to step forward the sergeant
apoke:
"Beg pardon, sir, but these fellows
know all our officers. They would rec
ognize you at once. The word would
GO to Red Cloud faster than any pony
could gallop. Let me meet them, or
let one of the men"
The ponies were coming at lope
NOW, and not an instant was to be lost.
The safety of his command might pos
Sibly depend on their not being recog-
6Aized as of the troops before whose

CHAPTER XV1l.-CONTINUED.
you're right. Look" was Deans
sudden answer, for at the very in
stant there rode boldly, calmly into
full view two young Indians, who
with cool deliberation came jogging
on at gentle speed, straight toward
the concealed bivouac of the troopers.
Instantly Bruce reached for his car
bine, and two or three of the men
went sliding or crouching backward
down the slope as though in quest of
their arms. Full eight hundred yards
away were the riders at the moment
coming side by side in apparent un-
concern.
Don't" muttered Dean, with hand
.outstretched. "They look anything
but hostile"
That's when they're most likely to
be full of hell, SIR was the prompt
answer. "See! others are watching
behind that knoll" and indeed as
Bruce declared, feather-decked head
or two could be detected through the
glass, peering over the summit.
warn them to halt, then" cried
Dean. But we cannot fire unless
they provoke it,"
Bruce was on his feet in a second.
Standing erect and facing straight to-
ward the coming pair, he raised his
right hand, palm to the front, to the
full length of his arm, and slowly mo-
toned "stand" Every plainsman
knows the signal. In well-acted sur
prise the Indians reined their ponies
fat back, and, shading their eyes with
their hands moment, remained mo-
tionless. Then as with one accord,
each tossed aside his rifle, and one of
them further lifted high and displayed
. revolver. This, too, he tossed out
on the turf, and now with both arms
bare and extended on high, with
empty hands outspread, they slowly
advanced as though saying: See, we
are without arms. We come as broth
-ers."
But the sergeant never hesitated.
Almost on tiptoe he repeated the sig
nal "halt," and half turned implor-
ingly to his officer
"It's all bluff, sir. They want to
crawl upon us, see who and how many
we are. Let some of us fire warning
shots or come they will, and the mo-
ment they find out who we are, away
they'll ride to bring Red Cloud and all
his bucks about our ears"
81 cannot fire." was the answer.
"That's their flag of truce and we must
not ignoreit. Let them come, sergeant; !;
I'll meet them"

THE SONG OF THE HOE.

(written in a Potato Patch.)
sChug. chug. bring us the jug.
Master is dry with toll:
Many a sultry hour he's dug.
Coaxing the sullen soil:
But his brow must sweat and his arms
grow weary,
All for the love of his tots and dearie;
And his dreams are swift If his step be
slow"
ThIs was the hum of the weary hoe.
Az of a summers day.
"-Chugity. chug. chugity, chink!
Now that was the sound of stone, think;
But there's many stone on which to
catch
In Iife's half-acre potato-patch;
-Chugity, chinkety, one more row"
This was the merry lilt of the hoe,
All of sultry day.
's'Chug swish; oh how wish
That the sun would tumble faster;
Eor 1 almost crack with the weight on my
back
OF the hand of my sturdy master!
But ah! he has measured the length of my
4. shade,
He is cleaning the clay from my ringing
blade,
And now for the cottage that we well
know"
This was the cry of the happy hoe.
Under the fading day.
"Chug, chink, the calm stars blink;
Night hath many charms
Master is dreaming of me, l think
Wrapped in his fond wites arms:
And wee, pink hand is clutchinS tight
The tin horse bought with our toll tonight;
Ills the weaker arm that makes me co.
This was the droning dream of the hoe,
Until the east was gray.

nearer. You got buffalo meat?"
A grunt was the reply of one, a
cultural Buffalo, yes" the answer of
the other.

touched his own. Five" and he threw
forward the outspread right hand,
rapidly touching in succession the
thumb and four fingers. I'VE give both
hands full-coffee, sugar, hardtack," "
and Bruce illustrated as he spoke.
That's ALL" he finished abruptly,
with the well-known Indian sign that
plainly tells 81 have spoken-there is
nothing more to say" then calmly
turned his back, and, bidding Conroy
follow, started to return to his com
rades at the ravine.
But Indian diplomacy was unsatis-
fed. The Sioux had found big Nose"
to be one of the soldiers in the field.
He, at least, was of the hated troop
that fought and chased Burning Star
and killed Chaska. The trail told
them there were nearly a dozen in the
party, all OF shod horses, with two in
lead-spare mounts or pack-ho orses,
doubtless-so they had extra rations
and had come far; but why were
they going this way, so far west of
the usual road to the Big Horn posts?
Why were they so few in number?
Where were the rest? Why were they
hiding here in the ravine, instead of
marching? Answer to this last ques-
tion was easy enough. 1t was to
keep out of sight of Indian eyes, and
needed no excuse There was some
thing behind this mysterious pres
ence of ten or twelve soldiers ip the
southern foothills, and MachpCalota
would expect of his scouts full in
formation, hence the instant move
ment on part of one of the two braves
to follow.
Impressively, Bruce turned again
and waved him back. $50, get buf-
falo tongue" said he, cor no trade
Keep away from our tepees," and he
drew with his spurred booths eel a
jagged line across the turf. Your

the southeast of the line. This

STORY OF AFRICAN LOVE.
a hahr Maiden Who Considered
Herself Worth More Than
Ten Cows.

An amusing incident is quoted by
ii. t. Finck, in a recent volume on
primitive and curious customs. which
indicates how easily utilitarian con-
siderations may gain the supremacy
among Africans.
A traveller knew girl named Yam
nlki, who refused to marry a young
Katfir suitor, although she confessed
that she liked him.
Il cannot take him." she said, "as
he can offer only ten cows for me,
and my father wants 15."
The traveller observed that it was
not kind of her father to let few
cows stand in the way of her hap
piness; but the African damsel did
not fall in with his sentimental views
in the case. Business and vanity were
to her much more important matters
than individual preference, and she
exclaimed, excitedly:
What! You expect my father to
give me away for ten cows? That
would be a fine sort of a bargain!
Am l not worth more than Cilli, for
whom the Tambuki chief paid 12
cows last week? 1 am pretty, l can
cook, sew, crochet, speak English, and
with all these accomplishments you
want my father to dispose of me
for ten miserable cows? Oh, sir, how
little you esteem me! No, no, my
father is quite right in refusing to
yield in this matter, Indeed, in my
opinion, he might boldly ask 30 cows
for me, for l am worth that much"

carbines Chaska, brother to Lizette,
had met his death.
Perhaps you're right" said Dean.
Halt them again. Conroy, you go
with Sergt. Bruce"
Eagerly young trooper, carbine in
hand, sprang up and stood by the SER
geant's side as the latter repeated his
warning signal. Obediently, yet not
too promptly, showing evident desire
to get where they could peer over the
ravine and count the number of white
men and horses, the Indians again
drew rein, this time barely 100 yards
away. Then Bruce and Conroy, hold
ing up their emptied hands, strobe for
ward along the grassy slope, making
the further sign: "Dismount."
In those days few of our cavalry
wore, when on Indian campaign, the
forage-cap with its crossed sabers
and distinguishing letters. Nothing in
the dress or accoutrements of the men
thus advancing to meet the Indian
emissaries would give to the latter any
clew as to the troop or regiment to
which they belonged. Could they see
be settled at once. The L. S. brand
with that of the number of the regi-
ment and letter of the troop, showed on
every cavalry mount in the service,
and the Ogallallas knew the ear-marks
of two, at least, of our cavalry regi-
ments in '6S as well as they did the cut
of their own hair. But in the modesty
of the non-commissoned officer Bruce
had underrated his own prominence in
Indian eyes. Not only did these keen
observers know every officer by sight,
and have for him some distinguishing
name of their own, but many trooper,
easily singled out from his fellows be-
cause of his stature, or the color of his
hair, or some physical popularity, was
as well known as his captain or lieuten-
ant, and Bruce, ex-trooper of the
Scots greys, and now model sergeant
of Yankee cavalry, was already a
marked man in the eyes of the south
ern Sioux. Brule, Minneconjou and
Ognllalla knew him well - his aquiline
| beak, to which the men would some
times slyly allude, having won him the
Indian appellative of Rosh Kopee or
| Big Nose.
Before the two parties came with
in fifty yards of each other, therefore,
watchers along the ravine saw the
quick exchange of significant glances
between the young braves. "Twig
that?" whispered Trooper Blaine, in
low, emphatic tone. "Those fellows
know 'Scotty' just as well as we
do"
All the same, leaving their trained
ponies to nibble at the scanty bunch
grass, the two came straight forward
with extended hands and cordial
"How, colah!" on their lips, one of
them adding in agency English:
want talk chief. Indian poor. Heap
sick" (And here he clasped his stom-
ach with both hands.) want coffee,
sugar. bread"
'All right" said Bruce promptly,
noting the while how the rowing
black eyes searched the edge of the

To all such people DR.. Hartman's
remedy, Peruna, comes as great boon.
Not only is it more successful in cur
ing catarrh than the treatment of the
catarrh specialists, but it is within the
reach of every person in this land.
Peruna can be bought at any drug store,
and is a remedy without equal for
catarrh in all forms, coughs, colds, bron-
chitis, consumption, and all climatic
diseases of winter.
Peruna is not a guess, nor an expert
ment; it is an absolute, scientific cer-
tainty. Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located. Peruna has no substitutes
no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna.
Let no one persuade you that some 9TH
er remedy will do nearly as well. There
is no other systemic remedy for catarrh
but Peruna.

AS a result of the changeable eli
mate, catarrh has become one of the
most prevalent and universal diseases
known to man. Nearly one-third of
the people Of the United States are
afflicted with catarrh in some of its
many phases and stages. Add to, this
the fact that catarrh rapidly tends to
become fixed or chronic, also the fur
ther fact that it is capable of producing
a great many other diseases, and we
begin to realize the true nature of ehis
dread disease.
So formidable has catarrh become
that in every city or town of any size
numerous doctors are to be found who
make the treatment of catarrh spe-
cialty. OF course a great deal of good
is accomplished in this way, but as
yet comparatively small number of
the people can avail themselves of this
treatment because of the great expense
necessarily attached to it.
