a Timtly Suggestions.

This is the season Of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is certain to be
needed before the winter is over. and
the results are much more prompt and
satisfactory when it is kept at hand
and given as soon as The cold is con-
tracted and before it has become set
tied in the system. In almost every
instance a severe cold may be warded
off by taking this remedy freely as soon
as the first indication OF the cold ap-
pears. There is no danger in giving it
to children for it contains no harmful
substance. 1t is pleasant to take-both
adults and children like it. Buy it and
you will get the best 1t always cures.

TRIED TO LOCK OLD MAN IN ICE

Thomas King. Of 80 Fillmore street,
was arrested yesterday for breach Of
the peace and the theft of turkey
valued at 81. Both offenses were COM

King went into the store and got in
to a quarrel with Loeffel, who is an old
man over seventy years of age, and it
is said, tried to lock him in an ice box.
Failing in this he grabbed a turkey off
the counter and ran out with 1t. He

A HORRID DRAGON.
AS Described by a Truthful Old Mis-
si0nary.


AS Described by a Truthful Old Mis-
sionary.
DR.. Watkins, the veteran missionary
who has just returned from a four
months evangelical trip through the
outlying states, tells a strange story of
a wonderful snake which he killed in
an old. abandoned shaft Of a mine down
in the state &C Guerrero.
My attention was attracted one
day" says Mr.. Watkins, by the horri-
fed cries of an Indian miner who came
running toward me, his face CHASTITY
with fright and the perspiratiOn drip
ping like rain drops from his brow.
The man rushed up and cast himself
at my feet where he lay trembling and
gaspinG As soon as he was able to get
his breath he told me had been seized
by q horrible monster which had sud
denly sprung upon him from one of the
hidden recesaHs of the mine and that ne
had narrowly escaped being drawn
down in its embrace.
My curiosity was aroused and I pro-
ceeded to the mouth Of the shaft with
the man as s0oa as I could induce him
to return. We looked down, but in the
dense obscurity could see nothing.
Drawing my revolver babe the man go
down into the shaft a way assuring
him that no harm would bpfall him as
I would follow close with my cooked re-
volVer ready for use.
The miner did as I commanded and
had gone down for n number of feet
when suddenly from the dense black
ness l saw huge and indcscribably
hidrous head With wide open mouth
shoot up. TIE jaws of the creature
Wpra Wida open, showing its sharp
fangcd teeth, its mouth looking large
enough easily to take a man down at
Ole gulp.
The miner screamed with terror and
] feared he would lose his hold and fall
but he chung desperately to the ladder
while | thrust the barrel Of the revolver
full into the creatures mouth and fred.
With 4 tremendous hiss it dropped its
head and then We saw it was a huge
serpent like unto nothing / had ever
heard of before.
LAS its struggling body came into my
view ] fired again. and the snake slip
ping from the ledge on which it had
stretched Itself TELL with SquaShy thud
to the bottom Of the shaft. where we
could hear 1t thrashing about in strug-
giles which momentarily grew weaker
and finally ceased altogether. Then we
went below, fastened a rope about the
body of the reptile and hoisted it to the
surface.
There was then unfoldcd before our
CyPg the most hideOuS creature man
could ever dream of. Its head was like
the huge stone head Of a frightfully
carved Chinese dragon Its body about
the middle was as large as mans
thigh and its length was SO great that
| dare not say how many feet 1t meas
ured. l very much regretted being I'M
able to preserve the skin and bring it
back for the study Of scientists. but I
was compelled to leave it behind, -
