A FIGHT WITH THE FUDIsTs.
kentucky's MOuntaineers Seem to
Have Lost the Art of Hitting.

HIVE Lost the Art of Hitting.
London. KY. April 22.-Reports from
Letcher county to-day are to the effect
that over 100 shots were fired yesterday
in fight between a sheriff's posse and
the Reynolds feudists. SO far as could be
learned none of the posse men were hit.
1t is stated that the accidental discharge
of a gun brought about the shooting,
which ceased after two volleys had been
fired.
These reports therefore contradict state
ments to the effect that the feudists. who
have been barricaded in the mountains
and resisting arrest, had surrendered.

Why the indian Paints His Face.

The fact OF the matter is that every
paint mark on the Indians face is
sign with definite meaning which
other Indians may read When an ln.
dian puts on his full war paint he decks
himself not only with his own indlvid-
ual honors and distinctions won by
his own bravery, but also with the
special honors of his family or tribe.
He may possess one mark OF dlstlnc'
tion only, or many; in fact, he may
be so well off in this respect that, like
some English noblemen, he is able to
don a new distinction for every occa-
sion. Sometimes he will wear all his
honors at one time.
Among the Indian tribes i' one des-
ignated by the symbol Of the dog-hsh,
painted in red on the face. The yari-
Gus parts OF the hsh are fcal'eIed
heterogeneously on the surface Of the
face the peculiarly long snout is
painted on the forehead, the gills are
represented by two curved lines below
the eyes, while the tail is shown AS
cut in two and hanging from either
nostril. When only one or two parts
Of an animal are painted on a mans
face, il is an indication Of inierlorlty
when the whole animal appears. even
though in many oddly assorted parts,
the sign Is one Of great value, and in.
dicates a high rank.
Very peculiar are some Of the hon
orable symbols painted on the Indians
faces. There are feb, Aesh and fowl
Of all kinds-dog.salmon, deyll.hsh,
stsr-f.h, wood-p-ckers, eagles, ravens,
wolfs, bears, sea-lions, and sea mons-
tiers. mosquitoes, frogs, mountain goats
and all manner Of foot, claw or beak
marks-each with a special meaning
Of its own.

peated. The head moved lower, and
the big red moustache almost covered
the little face with the fuirows on it.
The then gang started to the train.
As the ears began to move. the little
woman stood on the platform. She
caught glimpse OF her big son
through the car window. She waved
a little black k-borlered handkerchief at
him.
Goodbye, Henry she called out
feebly, and then, through force of
habit formed when she sent her little
son to school, she murmured, Be
be good boy"
One Of that gang Of prisoners told
afterward that the little scene in the
depot was greater punishment to
each man there than his respective
term Of Imprisonment.

Followed by His Mother's Love.

Down in Texas, several years ago,
middle.aged man was convicted IN
court of stealing. and sent to the PEN
itentlary for long term. He was
du'y sentenced, and the sheriff fixed
day upon which he should be taken
to the State prison.
The day arrived and the official, with
a string Of conyicts handcufed togeth-
er, was at the station waiting for the
train. While the group sat in the
depot a little old woman in black,
with a face in which the fingers Of
sorrow had pinohed great burrows, aP-
peared at the door. She looked at
the string of prisoners intentIy, then
a light of recognition came over her
face. She stepped up to the group ol
unfortunates and laid her hand on the
arm Of a big, coarse fellow with
heavy red moustacbe.
The man turned and looked at the
woman. Mother" he exclaimed.
That was all Big tears came into
his eyes. They did not stay there,
but crowded one another out TO chase
down the rough face, red now with
shame. They ran into the big nous
tache and off the end OF it. Then he
recovered himself. The little woman
was not crying-people sometimes get
beyond that.
>"What-are -you-doing- here +?
the big man sobbed.

woman with furrows in her face, "to

The Rectum, Its Importance.

The Rectum is one OF the most important
organs of the body.
Through IL large portion of the waste,
effete, and poisonous matter generated In
the system is expelled.
When the functions of this organ are inter-
fered with. these poisonous elements are re-
tanned in the system, poisoning the blood,
clogging the glands, impairing nutrition and
assimilation and engendering diseases that
not only cause great suffering but destroy
life.
Disturbed digestion, arrangement OF the
nervous system, rheumatism, Neuralgia,
Catarrh, diseases of the heart, liver, kidneys,
bladders, uterus. all these arise from retained
fecal matter in the rectum, caused by inter-
nal piles, ulcers, structures and other causes
that obsLruct the canal.
The majority OF these diseases are readily
cured, without cutting, tying or bruising.
Thousands OF people are daily dying from
operations, but with my system invariably
the treatment is decided success.
i have cured men 50 years old, children TWO
years old.
My system of treatment causes no deten-
tion from business or pleasure.

Backward. turn backward. oh. Time in your fight
Make me a child again, just for tonight
Mother, come back from the echoless shore,
Take me again to your heart as of yore-
Kiss from my forehead the furrows Of care.
Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair
Over my slumber your loving watch keep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rook me to sleep
Backward turn backward. oh. tide Of the years
! am so weary Of toll and Of tears
Toll without recompense-tears all in vain
Take them, and give me my childhood again
have grown weary of dust and decay
Weary of fnging my soul-wealth away
Weary Of sowing for others to reap
Rock me to sleep. mother-rock me to sleep
Tired Of the hollow, the base. the untrue,
Mother Oh mother. my heart calls for you
Many a summer the grass has grown green,
Blossomed and faded our faces between
Yet with strong yearning and passionate pain
Long | tonight for your presence again
Come from the silence so long and so deep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep
Over my heart in the days that are flown.
No love like mother-loye ever has shone-
No other worship abides and endures
Faithful. unSelfsh and patient. like yours
None like mother can charm away pain
From the sick soul and the world-weary brain
Slumbers soft Gains DER my heavy lids creep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep
Come let your brown hair. just lighted with gold.
Fall on your shoulders again Of old
Let it drop over my forehead tonight
Shading my faint eyes away from the light
For with its sunny-edged shadows once more
HAPPY will throng the sweet visions Of yore.
Lovingly. softly. its bright bllows sweep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep
Mother. dear mother the years have been Ion:
Since last listened to your lullaby song
Since then. and unto my soul it shall seem
Womauhood's years have been only dream.
Clasped to your heart in a loving embrace.
With your light lashes just sweeping my face.
Never hereafter to wake or to weep.

nineteen. A plainly dressed boy,

In recent issue the New York
Marine Journal remarks that THE
present century seems destined 20
bring the steamboat as means Of
transportation to an equality with the
railroad train" That paper says that
great as is the volume of traffic on the
lakes greater business is conducted
on American rivers. amounting to 10o,-
000, 900 tons year, exclusive of boats
plying on the arms of the ocean inland.
At least half of the interior commerce
of the United States is transacted by
boats. Though almost every naviga-
BILE river in this country is paralleled
by railway the business for both in
creases. The two great systems Of in
land waterways in the United States,
the Marine Journal remarks. are the
great lakes and the valley of the Mis-

foremost.
