OLD AND GRIZZLY WILLIAM GA
Zlo, A BLACK HILLS VETERAN,
TELLS STARTLING STORY.
WAS SCALPED BY AN INDIAN
Comrades Prevented Redskin from
Finishing Bloody Work - Old
Miners Experience with
the Hostile Sioux,

Deadwood, S. D.--"Once ! died!
Yes, died! But did not go into the
great beyond and join the Choir In
visible Next time | will"
So said old William Gazio, the
Black Hills miner, gray, grizzly,
weather-beaten, time-worn and aged,
still happy, intelligent, fair-minded
and God-fearing. AS he spoke a
smile lighted the set features, max
ing a picture that could be the envy
of any twentieth century cartoonist,
gracing as he did his broad brimmed
hat, hunters jacket, flannel shirt,
corduroy pants and heavy miners
boots.
His low forehead and white hair
showed peculiarly shaped head; the
front development tending to perfec-
ton; look at the back of his head
showed a sudden top bespeaking lack
of something; circle on the top OF
his head made the circumstance for
this story.
His small steel gray eyes, at times
showing a cast of green, carried still
a tinge of kindness signifying a soft
and tender spot in the region OF the
left pocket of his vest.
He walked up to the bar, ordered
drinks for the crowd and said:
Drink hearty, boys, but drink with
good sense, so you will live long and
be of use to God and man while you
are here. Sit down and listen while
l tell you how and why l died. 1t
was in 1875. The government had
withdrawn all opposition to immlgra-
ton in the Black Hills, so all protec-
ton to the pc ople was, practically
withdrawn, leaving us to depend en-
tirely upon our own resources for
means of defense against the hostil
| tiles of the Sioux Indians, who were
| then on the warpath.
Gen. Crook had called mass
meeting of the miners of the Black
| Hills and we gathered on French
creek near what is now the town OIL
Custer to discuss and devise some
means of defense for the settlers
We were in the Black Hills proper
The roads were rough and rocky ant

"All this occurred in a period OF
about two minutes. My companions
had heard my cries and came to my
rescue just in time to prevent the In.
dian from completing the scalping
operation. My scalp was laid back

CARE OF THE SICK ROOM.
Above All Things the Walls Should
Be Kept Dry.

When the bedroom becomes n sick
room there is an added reason why ex.
IRENE precautions should be used to
keep the room in thoroughly sanitary
condition.
Above all things the bedroom should
never be damp. 1t should be nice and
dry, always warm and comfortable in
winter, cool and airy in summer, and
bright and sunny some parts of the
day.
If there is any suspicion of damp.
ness in bedroom it is probably due.
If there is wallpaper on the wall, to
the absorption of water by the paper
which frequently acts as a blottlng pa
per and holds quantities of water in it.
The use of wallpaper on walls is to

quently the cause of lung trouble, not
only because of it's dampness but also
because of its power to retain infec-
ton of many kinds
The desired method of treating a
bedroom wall Is to tint It for the ala.
bastined wall is a perfect wall. 1t
never fakes off, chips or peels. 1t alb
serbs moisture and expels it, it opens
the pores of the plaster and makes a
room livable and breathable.
The floor in the bedroom should
have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that
can be easily shaken and floor that
is thoroughly oiled or vanished, that
will not absorb moisture. The cracks
in the floor should be thoroughly filed
and covered Woodwork in the bed
room should be attended to carefully,
window sills should be thoroughly var
nished or waxed, and the window cas-
ings kept in perfect order The doors
should be wiped off frequently as also
should be all the standing woodwork
in the bedroom, as the presence of
dust on woodwork Is a menace to
health as well as an evidence of poor
housekeeping.

PALE, WEAK PEOPLE
MADE STRONG; AND ENERGETIC BY DR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
General Breakdown Caused by Def. rient 6iocd 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. ou may think that they have no relation to each other and that you will worry along, hoping all the time to feel bytg soon. This Is a mistake, for eyeryAns of the symptoms is caused by bad bi6a, which must be made pure and new before health will be restored again. 4 tonic treatment is necessary and for this purpose there is no better remedy than Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
 Mir. J. G. Havey, of 95 Willow St., Chelsea, Mass. says: "I was sick for number of years from general debility and indigestion. was never free from stomach trouble and my nerves were so shattered that the least excitement un. htted me for any serious work. My sleep was restless on account of terrible pains in the small of my back. These pains would sometimes last for month or two. My sight grew weak, there seem. Ing to be B blur constantly before my eyes. couldn't concentrate my mind on my work, and the attempt to do so completely exhausted me.
 Il was finally forced to give up . position I had held for twenty-eight years. After trying several medicines without help, read of Dr. Williams Pink Pills and gave them a trial. They made me feel so much better and so much stronger that started in business for myself here in Chelsea. l have never had a return of my former sick. ness and cheerfully recommend Dr. Vii. Hams Pink Pills as an excellent nerve and blood tonic.''
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills have long been recognized as an excellent tonic remedy i'll cases of indigestion and gen. erd debility, where the stomach and other organs of the body are weakened and disordered simply through lack oi proper nourishment. They have also been especially successful in curing an@mia, rheumatism, after effects of the grip and levers.
