The teacher was unable TO stop and thero
was collision with tho two belligorant

suddenly. tho lady struck tho ground
hard. and for a short time there was =

A New Peril In Duck Hunting.

One morning recently five OF Rocky
Ford's business men took a very early
start for Dyes lako to hunt ducks. To
avoid going around by the new bridge
they engaged farmer near the site OF
the old bridge to take them over in his
buggy. The farmers buggy could take
only two at time. Tho second trip he
landed E. J. Smith and Harry Maxwell
safely over the river. Paul Kennedy was
left to come over alone the third and last
trip. As Mr.. Maxwell was going over he
told the farmer ferryman that Mr.. Ken
nedy was treasurer Of the crowd and he
would pay for all. Mr.. Maxwell also
limited that Il would be well to collect
from Mr.. Kennedy while in tho middle OF
the river. and u he did not Fay. throw
him overheard. Mr.. Maxwell and his
three aeeompless were located where
they could sec the buggy in its northward
journey over tho muddy Arkansas. They
could sec that tho farmer had asked Mr..
Kennedy for payment and the latter was
talking most earnestly and making i'm
pressive gestures in an effort to impress
on the owner OF the buggy that in chang
Ing his clothes Tor the trip he had left his
pocket book at home and did not have .
cent Of money. Paul Is good talker and
his eloauence prevailed so that he was
set down dry and safe on the hi;her bank
Of the homely but mos: useful river. Mr..
kennedys poverty plea was made mos,
plausible when tho crowd Of fise businss.
men could only bunch IS cents OF tho so
cents required To mee, the modest charges
Of tho ferryman. Query: Was mr.
Maxwell ins'iga;ed to this soko on tho

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages. and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces o:
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
s,itution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list o.

and then we suffer from grip. catarrh, con-

DR.. X. ". Pierce, chief consulting physi-
clan 10 the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, n. ", says There
would be no grip epidemies. the germs Of
consumption, or malaria would find no

PERIL IN THE HAND-SHAKE.

Not long ago DR. J. N Hirsch, of Chicago,
said: "The most delicate perfume upon tile
hands is not sign of freedom from germs,
and the most refined are not free from dis
ease of lungs or throat, and the germs are
rapidly spread by touching the hand that
has handled the handkerchief of one aflict
ed with a cold, catarrh or consumption.
The breath one inlIales from the lungs OF
another may contain germs of disease" You
will not only be able to resist the germs of
consumption, but many thousands Of cases
have been known where persons who were
suffering from incipient phthisis or the
early stages of consumption were absolutely
cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t maintains a persons nutrition
by enabling him to eat, retain, digest and
assimilate food. 1t overcones the gastric
irritability and symptoms of indigestion,
and thus the person is saved from those
symptoms of feNr, nightsweats, headache,
etc, which are so common.
An alternative extract like DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, made of roots
and herbs, without the use of alcohol, will
assist the stomach in assimilating or taking
up from the food such elements as arc
required for the blood, will assist the live:
in throwing off the poisons In the system.
Do not peripit some designing druggist
to insult yoursintelligence by offering you
q remedy which he claims is "just as good
because he made it up himself, or ten
Chances 10 one you Will get medicine
made up largely of alcohol, which will
only weaken the system.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is heartily recommended by every person
who has ever used it and it has stood the
test of thirty eight years of approval from
people all over the United States.

LINES TO A KLOOTCnMAN.

The following lines are from Mr..
Prosch's book, "reminiscences" just
published. and first appeared in the
Puget .Sound Herald, in 1853. 1t was
written by Horace X. Writ, L. S. Sur
geon at Fort Steilacoom. over the sigma.
ture OF " Sitkum Siwash"-half-cast:
Sweet nymph. although of dirtier hue
Than other ladies' brought from east
ern climes,
To thee yield the tribute OF my love,
To thee l dedicate these humble
rhymes;
And if too faint l string my trembling
Tyre.
Great Pocahontas! thou my verse in
spre.
Long time whilom l thought that pallid
cheeks,
And blue eyes, smiling like the sky at
at morn,
And auburn curls, and fingers rosy
tipprd,
Comprise all beauty that of Earth was
born;
But other charms exceeding all Of these,
I've found at last on far Pacific seas.
Where Puget Sound its placid waters
spreads,
And Steilacoom uplifts its bosky shore,
Padding the light canoe, the maid l
met,
Whose modest graces did enchant me
more
Then all the pictures fair by poets
wrought
In golden dreams and raptured moods Of
thought,
Thy we'll squeezed head was fiat as
founders are,
Thy hair with dogfish oil resplendent
Thy feet were bare and slightly inward
turned,
And cen l ween of stockings thou
hadst none;
But beauty's presence beamed from
every part,
Though unadorned by trickery or art.
A blanket red, that had seen better days
Around thy shoulders gracefully was
twined;
And exc a petticoat, that once was clean,
Thy slender waist and swelling limbs
did bind;
A mild but fishy odor around thee
clung,
As though dried salmon thou hadst been
a'~Ong.
And thus it was; for in the savage
home,
Where Indian wigwams look DER
waters blue,
The custom is to spear the speckled fish
And smoke hem when there's moth
ing elee to do;
For huckleberries are watery food,
And clans and oysters are not always
good.
But though thou smellest strong of sal
mon dry,
Though innocent of soap thy hands
appear;
Although thy toes turn inward with a
curl,
And though thy skull is smashed from
front to rear;
Though nameless animals thy hair in
fest,
Still do love thee of all maidens best.
Then give me but blanket and mat;
Dried clans and fish my only food
shall be,
My only house half-upturned canoe,
Whiskey my drink, and love alone for
thee.
Thus fair-haired danes for me will vain
ly shine
In all the charms of hoops and crino-
line.*
This was written at q time when the graceful.
ly rounded crinOline was Dame Fashions fad.

Buyine a Daughter.

A lady in costly mourning attire
was walking in a street in Vienna, the
other day, when she saw beggar wo-
man with three children, one of them
girl of two, sitting at the foot of a
monument. She sent street porter
to ask if she would give up the child.
The woman nodded, whereupon the
lady in black walked up to her, gave
her some bank notes and took the
child to a store. Half an hour later
she emerged with the same child
elegantly dressed, hailed a cab and
drove away.
