A Remarkable Case.

One of the most remarkable cases of a
cold, deep-seated on the lungs, causing
pneumania, is that of Mrs. Gertrude f.
Fenner, Marion Ind, who was entirely
cured by the use of One Minute Cough
Cure. She says: "The coughing and
strainiug so weakened me that | ran
down in weight from 148 to 92 pounds.
| tried number of remedies to no avail
until l used One Minute Cough Cure.
Four bottles of this wonderful remedy
cured ME entirely of the cough, strength
ened my lungs and restored me to my
normal weight, health and strength" /"

played on the guitar and sang to the
popular tune of the "Toro." This was
our Thanksgiving breakfast, tortillas
and frijoles, the latter being beans
fried in fat and the former just plain
everyday fiapjacks. We had no knives
save our hunting knives and no forks
or spoons, but we rolled up the thin
tortillas into scoops, with which we
ladled in the beans, with another tor
tilla as Il plate, and after the beans
were gone devoured both plate and
spoon as we'll. So, there being no dish

our horses for us when the repast was
over, saw to 1t that the girths were
tight and the riatas coiled on the pom
mels and then gave us "adios" with
much grace.
-Four Maya Indians tramped the trail
ahead of us and led the way through
the logwood forests, where we wound
between the crooked trees and among
immense ant hills big as houses. Each
Indian was naked to the waist, wear
ing nothing but a pair of pantaloons
cut short at the knee and in the hollow
of his left arm carrying wicked look
ing machete. When well into the for
est they spread out like great fan,
ranging for turkeys, and not an hour
passed before the consul and myself
each had Il shot, and each brought
down II plump gobbler with plumage

When at last we reached the palm
thatched hut on the coast where we
were to pass the night each of us had
three fine turkeys at his saddlebow.
and the consul carried behind him
venado, or native deer, which he had
shot oil the jump as 1t plunged be-
meath the logwoods. The camp was
reached late in the afternoon, but our
four Indians went to work with such
energy that by sunset they had our
table spread with the viands smoking
hot. 1t was set near the beach beneath

an important shipping port in
the logwood district of Yucatan, that
part of Mexico which Is nearest to the
island of Cuba-that Is, it Is quite i'm
portant for port without any people
to speak of-and the reason why it
would not be detected Is that the first
two letters of Tsilam, the 7 and S, are
replaced by an inverted G, which has
the same ''power" in pronunciation.
The United States consul in Merida.

that II l would lie over another steam
er instead of proceeding directly to
Vera Cruz and the City of Mexico he
would celebrate Thanksgiving day,
which fell due in the interval, in a fit
ting and appropriate manner. He would
do 1t, but I knew him we'll enough to
feel assured of something novel in
store and so postponed the trip to Vera
Cruz and placed myself unreservedly
in his hands.
"Shows you've got sense" said he
approvingly, Ito trust me for the time
being Now, as a great and just re-
ward I'm going to give you the time Of
your life. I've arranged for n grand
poo which is the vernacular for q
wild turkey hunt, and the native name
for that turkey, by the way, is 'pavo
del monte or the peacock of the hills.
1t is Il smaller but more beautiful bird
than the wild turkey of North Ameri-
ce. Its meat has a finer flavor, and its
ing tipped with great golden eye
like the peacock's, which fact has
caused the naturalsts to name it the
Meleagris Ocellatus.
'But enough of turkey terminology.
You can hunt that up for yourself in
the books on the subject. What / am
going to do, wind and weather permit
ting, is to show you the bird and give
you a taste of it's flesh on the day set
apart for the eating Of turkey in the
states. And, my official word for 1t,
there will not probably be another citi-
zen of los Estados Unidos del Norte,
as the Mexicans call the United States,
except perhaps myself, who will cele-
brate the day by devouring the succu-
lent flesh of pavo del monte"

"Quien vive" yelled the sentinel on
