HE GOT THE COUNTERSICN
Sentinel Had His Own Idea of HIS Duties While Guarding
 the Outer Lines.

State Senator Arthur Dewalt, of Allentown, member of the capitol in- vestigating commission, has a favor ite story. It runs as follows:
 Among the troops about Tampa was a regiment of Pennsylvania Germans from my section. One night the guard was being placed. Said Private B. to the corporal:
 "Now, you dell me vat to do.'
 "Well, here is your beat. You walk from that point (indicatlng) 10 this. If anyone comes you say, Halt who goes there| He will say to you, Friend, with the coun- tersign.' You say to him, Advance, friend, with the countersign. If he says 'Pocatellgo' you let him pass. If he doesn't you shoot"
 "Holt ub, corporal say dot ag'in. It's long,"
 Thereupon the officer of the guard repeated the instructions, going over them carefully.
 Some two hours later noise was heard by the lonely sentinel pacing to and fro, repeating his orders to himself.
 '.Haldt! Who goes dere?"
 "Friend, with the countersign.
 "Adtvance, friendt, init der goun- tersign."
 Footsteps approached from the jungle, while the sentry grew more nervous and got his rifle in position for business. Aiming at the visitor, now about 12 feet distant, the re- cruit shouted:
 "Now, you - -", you say Pbogatellicho, or l zhoot."

 These pictures proved to be very good, and large crowds were delight. ed with the exact reproduction of the dedicatory exercises.

EIGHT MEN ACCUSED OF AT TEMPTED BRiBEEY MAKE
 BOND.

San Francisco, May.-The eight men named in the new batch of in- dictments returned by the Grand Jury on Saturday appeared before Judge Coffee Monday prepared to give bal with the exception of Abraham Ru3i, who already is in custody. The accu sations against them are of bribery and attempted bribery of the Board of Supervisors, in the interest of the San Francisco Gas Company ana the parkside Realty Company. They are Eugene De Sat-a, John Martin, Frank J. Grum. G. H. Umbren, Jos. E. Green. ". I. Broback, Mayor SchnltZ ana Abraham Ruef George Umbrcn ana Joseph F.. Green of the Umbren heal Estate Company, and w. '. BrobacH of the law firm of Morrison & Broback gave bonds in the sum of Sl40,oOo each, on indictments charging them, together with Abraham Ruef, with at tempting G. hl,be fourteen supervisors to vote a street railway franchise to the Parkside Transit Company. Wll- liam H. Crocker, president Of the Crocker National bank, and C. E. Green. cashier of the same institution, went on Umbrens bonds. Crocker, Wellington Graham and A. F. Mor- rison qualified as bondsmen for Joseph E. Green and Broback. The bail for Mayor Schmitz was furnished by Thomas Williams, president of the California Jockey Club, and w. F. Dingey, millionaire capitalist.
 Attorney Campbell made an effort to get Mayor Schmitz's bail reduced. The court said he would consider the mat ter at the proper time. Attorney Fair all announced that Mayor Schmitz de- sired to substitute MT. Williams and MT. Dingey for the indemnity company as surety for the $50,00O bond given by the mayor under the five extortlon indictments returned several months ago. After the legal formalities had heen complied with the change nt bondsmen was made. Counsel a1- nounced that the reason for the change was that Williams and Dingey pre- ferred to incur another $50,00O lla- bilities rather tLan have part of May or Schmitz's bonds in other hands.
 Mayor Schmitz gave bond in the sum of S14OOOO on the charge of bribing fourteen supervisors to fix the legal gas rate at 85 cents instead of 75 centS

LAST VIRGINIA INDIANS.

The only vestige of remaining Ih dian blood which can be identified with any degree of certainty is that of two small reservations in King William county, and these are con- siderably more negro than Indian. The larger band numbers 120, and they call themselves Pamunkies the smaller numbers about 50, and they call themselves Mattaponies. They are both governed by chiefs and councillors, together with a board of white trustees chosen by themselves. That they can lay some claim to being descendants of Pow hatan may be inferred from Thomas JeTerson's reference to the Matta- ponies and Pamunkies still occupy ing in 1878 small holdings in King William county, on the streams bearing their names. - Bulletin of America.

HYPERBOLE.

A Rochester clergyman was accus- toned to use scientific terms, which the people did not understand. A deputation waited on him with the request that in the future, when ever he used such terms, he would explain then.
 On the following Sunday he used the term hyperbole, and added: "As agreed on, l beg to explain this word. Were I to say that at this moment the whole of my congrega- tion are sound asleep it would be hy- perbole, but if I say that one-half are asleep, that is not hyperbole, but the truth"
 The next day the deputation again called to say that the minis ter need not explain technical terms. The people would learn their mean ing from a dictionary.-Rochester Herald.

WEAK PEOPLE

General Breakdown Caused by Def. cient Blood Quickly Corrected by
 This Tonic Remedy.

A feeling of general weakness, poor appetite, loss of breath after the slight. est exercise and broken sleep are some of the symptoms of general debility. You may think that they have no relation to each other and that you will worry along, hoping all the time to feel better soon. This is a mistake, for every one of the symptoms is caused by bad blood, which must be made pure and new before health will be restored again. Al tonic treatment is necessary and for this purpose there is no better remedy than Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
 MT. J. G. Havey, of 95 Willow St. Chelsea, Mass. says: "I was sick for q number of years from general debility and indigestion. l was never free from stomach trouble and my nerves were sd shattered that the least excitement un1 fitted me for any serious work. My| sleep was restless on account of terrible| pains in the small of my back. TheseI pains would sometimes last for a month or two. My sight grew weak, there seem@ ing to be 8 blur constantly before my eyes. l couldn't concentrate my mind on my work, and the attempt to do s completely exhausted me.
 "I was finally forced to give up r position I had held for twenty -eigh1 years. After trying several medicine without help, read of Dr. Williams Pink Pills and gave them trial. They made me feel so much better and sd much stronger that started in busines for myself here in Chelsea. I have never had 8 return of my former sick ness and cheerfully recommend Dr. Will liams' Pink Pills as an excellent nerv( and blood tonic"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills have lond been recognized as an excellent toni& remedy in cases of indigestion and gen eral debility, where the stomach an other organs of the body are weekend and disordered simply through lack proper nourishment. They have als been especially successful in curin an@mia, rheumatism, after-effects of tn grip and levers.
