medicine could be procured or a
physician summoned. The right way
is to keep at hand a bottle of Cham

a better medicine for these diseases.

WILDCAT ON CoWcATcHER.
Pittsburs Officer Bags Game at a
 Railroad Station.

A wildcat that had ridden from the mountainous region east of Greens burg, Pa, was shot at the station there as 1t was preparing to leap from the cowcatcher of the engine drawing the Chicago and Western express.
 The animal was shot by James c. Stewart, a Pittsburg officer, who was on board.
 After the express had passed La trobe the engineer discovered peering over the front of the engine pair of fiery eyes. Word was sent back through the train to get some armed person to be ready when the train stopped. Officer J. c. Stewart, who was taking a prisoner from the east to PIttsburg, volunteered.
 The wildcats claws were tightly fastened to the cowcatcher, and when the crowd surrounded 1t 1t began to pur softly. Then 1t oosened its grip and prepared to leap. Stewart fired, woundIng the eat.
 With scream the animal leaped through the air. Another bullet just as the cat was starting up the track killed 1t.

Two Weeks In Sandy soli.
 tuds With Nothing tn Eat but
 Dead Crab and the Carcass of a Seal
 Washed Up by the Sea.
 After battling with the clements for four days in an open boat August Kocht. a fisherman of the schooner Stanley a4I formerly a dragoou In the czar's army. was stranded in the Pa cifc ocean on the desert island of Uni mak. wLgse he existed for fourteen days oa a crab and the carcass Of a seal which he found there
 When be was picked up by the schooner Alice. a codfShlug boat from Seattle, which had put Into Dublin bay for a supply of water Kocht was so weak from hunger and cold that he could barely creep on h!s hands and knees and wave the signal of distress which brought him assistance.
 On board the Alice, Eocht was fed with whisky and milk and his swollen limbs rubbed with alcohol. It was six days before he was able to stand upon bis feet. Four hundred miles north of the point where he was picked up Kocht was turned over to the schooner Stanley.
 While fishing for cod off the island of Unlmak the dOry which kOcht oc- cupied was swept away from the schooner Stanley by terrific south weSter. For four days the distressed fisherman battled with the waves. One of the oars broke under the strain on the second day. and he drifted help leSSly.
 Then the dory capSized half a mile or the shore of the island AS the boat upset a heavy codhsh hook caught iu the back of EochtS left hand. It was only by gnawing the heavy twine with bis teeth that the fisherman succeeded ln escaping from the leash which held him to the wrecked boat. Kocht final ly managed to reach the beach, where be sank down in distress. The hook he managed to tear from his hand with his teeth.
