Of Ice at hand to build d hut, and be.
fore noon we had j cabin big enough
to comfortably hold five OF Us and the
stores from the boat In the afternoon
in searching about we found three OF
four dwarf pines, planks from a ships
bottom, a cooks galley and chairs and
table. all but the pines from tie
wreck OF some merchant ship So IN
tense was the cold that night that no
man could have lived for five minutes
outdoors At midnight gale came on.
The gale was the tail end of winter.
On the fourth day the weather became
60 mild that the Ice began to melt, and
the mate told us that our island was in
a current and was being carried south
at the rate OF two miles an hour Wa
were In peril now from the breaking
up OF the mass On the fifth day Il
turned completely around, and great
rift appeared right through the center.
We watched It for day and, seeing
1t widen, we took up our quarters in
what we thought d safer position. We
were not an hour too soon. The rift
through the center continued to widen
and deepen, and by and by there was
a great crash. and the berg separated
In halves, leaving as upon the larger
one. Before night the waves had trim
med the base Of our berg Of all incum
brances, and we went drifting along So
steadily and majestically that we al
most forgot our peril
For three days and nights nothing
happened worth relating except that
we discovered and managed to kill tvs
seals which crawled upon the BERG
from the water to sun themselves As
the winds were light, our berg had nc
motion except from the current. On
the morning Of the tenth day before
daylight had yet come we crashed intd
another berg which had probably
grounded. and our escape from instant
destruction was truly marvellous The
south side Of our berg was split on by
the impact. leaving our hut standing
on the very edge Of a cliff sixty feet
high We had to cut our why tiEongh
the back wall TO escape.
j Our boat went with the piece, and
| within two hours the berg heeIed over
ca its side. This movement took place
very slowly aud brought Us on the
crest OF the lump instead Of being on q
shelf near the water. We soon had an
other hut up, and next day, the berg
being quite still again we made an
| other find.
For the next eight days We moved
steadily southwark with the current

ing on the leather Of his belt or shoes

One day, when $50 miles to the south

lowered a boat to give her an over

were caught in squall and carried
out Of sight 10 leeward in ten minutes.
There wasn't over az hour Of daylight

and when night fell the gusts had set
tied down into steady gale.
At about o'clock each man snugged
down to make himself as comfortable
as possible, and it was an hour later
when the roar of breakers came to our
cars. Every one Instantly OWNED that

could see the ghostly glare of the berg

northwest corner Of it by not more
than d hundred feet, ard The spray Of
a recoiling wave half filed our craft.
We drifted along the great island OF
Ice for twenty minutes before reaching
It's southern face, and then a current
drew us into the lee of II, and we
knew that we were temporarily saved.
We got ia our drag and put out the
oars, and after rowing nearly half a
mile we found an inlet or bay making
into the berg and ran into it. This bay

II have observed with interest,"" said
a visitor to New York, that men are
employed to work in many of the laun-
dries. I see them ironing and even
washing at the tubs. Anyway, it ought
to provide some occupation for the su-

so many years attached to the city

husband sat in the background and
smoked cigars. Not infrequently he
played some sort of part in the poll
tics of his district, and he was certain
under any circumstances to be popular
in the society that gathered in the sa-
loon at the corner. But his wife al
ways remained red-faced over the
irons or the washtubs under his pa
tronizing gaze and in the cloud of his
cigar smoke. Now that men are do

there ought to be some more practical

GUS partisan intention could concoct
was spread broadcast by the Jackson
journals; nor were Clay and Adams
the sole objects of the storm of SIAN
der. Charges of the most infamous
character were made against Jackson,
and inf1amed his animosity against
Adams and Clay to a degree that ap-
preached insanity. Jackson believed
Clay capable of anything Of which the
latter could be accused, and he him
self gave currency to the bargain and
corruption cry, which was printed,
placarded and harped upon throughout
the land. Clay, on the other hand, was
unable on the stump to assume the
line Of dignifed refutation; and his
language, losing all restraint, became
the vehicle of raving wrath. The re-

Thurman the support of the Payne

votes he controlled in the convention;
but the Thurman candidate for treas

Payne was not aware of the trick that

the latter, who scorned double dealing

Within the hour the opportunity to do

Remarkable Cure Of Dropsy by Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

Kidney Pills.
Sedgwick., Ark, July 1.-THE case
of w. S. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his
father makes the following statement:
Last September my little boy had
Dropsy; his feet and limbs were
swollen to such an extent that he
could not walk nor put his shoes on.
The treatment that the doctors were
giving him seemed to do him no good
and two or three people said his days
were short; even the doctors. two of
the best in the country, told me he
would not get better. l stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. I gave him three Pills
day, one morning, noon and night
for eight days; at the end of the
eighth day tho swelling was all gone,
but to give the medicine justice
gave him eleven more Pills. l used
thirty-fve Pills in all and he was en-
tirely cured. consider your medicine

ty-five Pills were given him he could
run, dance and sing, whereas before
he was an invalid in his mothers arms
