REMEDY FOR SMALLPOX.

The following smallpox remedy
was given to the public by cores
pendent of the Stockton, Cal,
Herald, who says: "I herewith APP
pend receipt which has been used
to my knowledge in hundreds of
cases. 1t will prevent or cure
smallpox, though the pittings are
filed. IL will cure scarlet fever.
Here is the receipt as / have used it
for smallpox when learned physl-
clans said the patien. must die, it
cured: Sulphate Of zinc one grain;
Foxglove (digitaIis) one grain; half
teaspoon of sugar. Mix with two
teaspoonfuls of water; when thor
oughly mixed add four ounces of
water. Take a teaspoonfuI every
hour Either disease will disappear
In II hours. For child a smaller
dose, according to age. If count
ries would compel physicians to use
this there would be no need Of pest
houses. If you value advice and
experience, use this for that terrible
disease"

A BRIGHT INTELLECT.
MARRIED by Excessive Use Of whIskey
and Other Liquors.

From the Morgsniown News.
Francis Dunn, the we'll known
fiddler and poet from the redbrush
precincts Of Rohr and the Beaver
Hole, was here during the past
week having lively time Of it,
Kingwood Argus.
MIR. Dunn has bright intellect and
he is brilliant scholar. His genius
Is so pronounced it reminds one of
that other Finley Peter Dunno, (Mr.
Dooley.)
Francis is much more than poet
and fiddler. He is a school teacher
and a gifted writer of prose. Be
fore the thirst for drink overcame
him he was successful pedagogue
for several terms. The recent
scarcity of teachers Inspired his
numerous friends to induce him TO
again take up this work. Four
schools in the eastern part of the
county are still without teachers.
Patrons and trustees at Sturgisson
agreed to employ Francis Dunn if
he would give up drinking. This
he resolved to do. He got up
petition with many signatures, ask
ing for permission to take charge of
the school and started for Laurel
Point to present it to County Supt.
Henry, that he might be granted
certificate. This was last Friday.
He got as far as Morgantown. His
old habit proved too strong. Friday
night he was in charge of the police
and sheriff 1t was sad night for
brilliant man. friday he had
come down from the mountains full
of hope and promise, saying he in
tended to quit drinking and teach
that school. Saturday he went out
from the mayors Office, disappolnt-
ed, detected, full of despair.
Was there one, the guiltiest of all,
who persuaded him to take the fatal
drink 1t may be so. But hope,
trod to earth, will rise again. And
If this poet and genius from the
"redwoods of Rohr" has the cour-
age to make another attempt. he
has warm friends who will lend
helping hand.

IEB Whites STORY.
Ne Gives an Interesting Account Of
Two Bad Men and Broomstick.

Twenty years ago | was known
to be a purity good man in
a scrimmsge." began the old
possum hunter of Tennessee, as
we got our pipes a-light one even
ing and asked him for a story,
"Nobody, around yere cared to
tackle me, and on one OCCASION,
when they sent over to Moth Car
oleeny fur fighter, I had him on
the run in 10 minits. wasn't
pickin' no fuses, yo' understand,
but jest gwine right along and
mindin' my own bizness. II any
body come along and wanted to
fuss l had nuthin'to say.
Zone year ] was feelin' as if 1
could tear up rocks, when got in
the way of fallin' tree and was
badly hurt. l hadn't bin abed
above TO- days when along come
critter who says to the old wo-
man.
"Hoody, ma'am, and does a
fellow named Zeb White live
around these yere parts1"
''He lives right yere," she says.
"And ar he man as can out
yell, out-jump and Outright any
other critter as stands on legs in
Tennessee1"
"He kin take care of hisself in
purity good shape"
"Thats what I've heard, and I've
travelled 81 miles to make him hol-
Ter like young coon. If he hain't
about the cabin please, tell me
whar to find him, kase l want to
pulverize him to once and start
back home"
"The ole woman had to tell him
that was in bed and too hurt to
lift hand, and he took advantage
of it to blow and bluff around in a
way to almost break my heart. He
went around the nayborhood to tell
everybody that was hidin' from
him, and that he wouldnt go home
till he had made me holler, and it
was the all the old woman could do
to keep me quiet. Every day for
five days that varmint come over
yere, and standin' out thar by that
stump he would jump up and down
on his hat and flop his arms and
yell:
81 ar the cryin' baby of Moth
Caroleeny, and have toddled my
way over 81 miles of hard roads to
to gaze upon the critter they call
Zeb White. When | arrives we're
with tears in my eyes and my feet
all blisters, it is to find him hidin'
in the bresh. / calls aud calls, but
he will not appear"
"That was his talk" said old
Zeb, chat and heap mo-, and l
believe I'D have dragged myself out
and fit with my teeth but fur the
old woman. She talked soft and
sweet aad held me back, and arter
five or six days sunthin' happened.
~
That is, another cantrankkrous crit
ter come along. When he reached
the cabin he was deffully polite,
and starts off with:
MAY l consider 10 reckon that |
fghtin' man of the name of Zeb
White abodes Yere3"

man who sizes him up at once.
"Then I'm powerfully glad ont.
I've walked 10 miles to tear him up
by the roots and show him that he's
no fighter. Kin / see him right
away, ma'am1 I'd like to have it
over with aud off of my mind as
soon as possible.
"The old woman saw her chance
and took advantage of it. She told
this second critter that I'd gone to
town, and that if he'd call agin in
the evenin' I'd make bars meat of
him in no time. The other one
was sure to turn up as we'll, and
sunthin' might happen when they
met. Sunthin' did happen. Both
critters come along about 9 O'Clock
at night and begun to blow and
Drag. They forgot all about me
in wantin' to show off to each other.
OF all the blowin' and braggin' I
ever did hear in all my life that
took the cake. First one would
flop his arms and crow like rooster
and tell what he had dun, and then
he would shet up and gin the other
a chance. They kept it up fur an
hour, all the time cussin' and DARN
each other to strike the fust blow,
and then they took holt and begun
to wrassle around. They tore up a
good deal of sile, but not a blow
was struck. AFTER bit they let 60
and begun BLOWN agin, and it was
aquarter of an hour befo' there was
any mo- wrasslin'.
"' Zeb, said the old woman as
we listens, thar amt an ounce of
fight in both of 'em, an yo' needn't
worry kase yo' can't go out
at was true what she said. They
was jest blowhards, an II I'd bin
able to walk out on 'em they'd have
run at the fust yell When they
had kept it up fur an hour an mo-
and hadn't even pulled hair begun
to get tired of it. So did the old
woman. They was tearin' up all
the grass an breaking down all the
sunfowers, but wasn't doin' any
fighting. Bimeby the old woman
knocked the ashes outer her pipe an
says:
"'Zeb, them critters has lots of
wind, but no grit. They'll keep
this fussin' up all night if somethin'
amt dun.
''She waited 10 minutes mo- and
then got the hickory broom and
softly opened the door. The critters
had quit BLOWN to git their wind
back and neither saw the old wo-
man till she was nigh enough fur
dizziness she fetched each one Of 'cm
whack as hard as she could draw,
and with yell both started on
run. She didn't foller 'em fur, but
I'll bet neither stopped fur a mile.
That was the end, except that both
of EN- stopped next day at a house
to say that they had left me dead in
front of my cabin, and to ak folks
to attend my funeral and to take
warnin' by my fate. Cantankerous-
ness used to be plenty around we're
a few years ago, but it's a skase
