CHAPTER VI

The position which the leader of the
caravan fancied he had been the first to
discover, and where he had made I'D his
mind TO halt. was admirably selected 70
establish an intrenched camp. The i'm
mense voladero lowering at a prodigious
height above the precipices, and guarded
on the right and left by enormous masses
of rock, offered such conditions of secur-
ity that the poems regained all their merry
carelessness, and regarded the mysterious
flight of the guide as an accident of no
real Importance.
1t was, hence, with we'll promising ar
dor that they rose on receiving their
chiefs command and prepared under his
directions to dig the trench which was
intended TO protect them from sur
prise. This trench was to be bordered
by line of tall stakes. running across
the open space between the rocks, which
gave the sole access to the terrace.
At the moment when the leader pro-
ceded with several poems armed with picks
and spades toward the entrance, with the
probable intention of marking the exact
spot where the trench was to be dug, the
capataz approached, and said with re-
spectful bow:
Mi amo, have an important commu-
nication to make to YOU"
His master turned and looked at him
with ill-concealed distrust.

DehOrnfuU "A Rbinoc.ro~

A rhinoceros which lived in the Lon
don zoo was troubled by its horn. which
grew down in front of its mouth. so
that only with difficulty could it eat or
drink. To save its life the keeper de-
cided on amputation. The horn of a
rhinoceros is not a horn at ALL but an
accumulation of hair and skin which
has hardened and become cemented to-
gether by some gummy substance. The
owner of this one had a very touchy
temper and was not easily approached.
Its keeper, however, decided to try
what he could do. For some DAYS IL
required all his skill to persuade the
beast to come to the front of the cage
and put its horn through. Then for
some days he stroked the horn. much

though later it seemed to like IL. When
ii found he meant no harm it LET him
take the horn in his left hand and then
with the right initiate the motion of a
saw across it. When this had been
done some time and the rhinoceros no
longer minded it, piece of wood was
held in the right hand. and at last.
when even this no longer worried the
animal, real saw was brought in and
the horn cut off without the slightest
remonstrance from the owner of it.

WEIGHT AND HEALTH
THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE NEED

This Woman Took Or. Williams Pink
Pills, Gained Thirty Pounds and

How many wonderland men too

seem unable to check How many hus-

steadily losing health and beauty, and
are powerless to helpl Consumption

lowered vitality is unequal to the task of
fighting off the infection of these diseases
to which most of Us are almost daily ex-
posed.
The symptoms indicating the decline
which may have results so fatal could
scarcely be better described than in the
statement of Mrs. William Manley, of
90 Court street, Utica, n. Y. Her case
is a typical one. She says:
For six months after the birth of my
baby, suffered from sick, dizzy head
aches, which seemed like a rush of
blood to my forehead, just back of my
eyes. Some days they twitched so I
could hardly see and black spots foated
before them. The least exertion brought
on this sickness. My appetite was poor
and was often sick to my stomach.

only 80 pounds.
Zone day when at the drug store to
get headache powders l decided to try
DIR. Williams Pink Pills instead.
soon noticed that my headache was dis
appearing and my nerves gradually
grew stronger. The pills gave me a
hearty appetite and now weigh over
100 pounds. / believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder woman can take,
as they certainly helped me when my
condition was critical and have never
been seriously i'll since"
The great value of DR.. Williams; Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.
If you are i'll and the treatment you
are taking does not cure you, write for
proof of what DR.. Williams Pink Pills
have done in similar cases.

Many Cases.
Automobiles and Appendicitis scare

Appendicitis is often caused by toe
much starch in the bowels. Starch is
hard to digest and clogs up the digest

cakes in the cecum. (That's the blind
pouch at entrance to the appendix.)
A n. H. girl had appendicitis, but

attack of appendicitis and for thirteen
weeks lived ON milk and water. When

Grape-Nuts.

African Buffalo War Drum.

Perhaps the most patient buffalo un.
der Il beating to be found in the world
is the one captured by an expedition
of the Sudan government sent against
the Niam-Niam tribes, living in the
Bahr-el GhaZal province, in the center
of Africa, says the New York Tribune
These tribes are cannibals. Under Yam
bio, their sultan, they had been causing
the government much trouble. AS {
result of the expedition the sultan wa;
killed and his war buffalo captured.
This buffalo was carved from a sin
gle piece of wood and was over ter
feet long, four and a half feet high ant
four feet wide. The truthful observer
would have great difficulty in descrb
ing the thing as an accurate represen
tation of a buffalo. The body was hol,
lowed out by means of a narrow slit
on the top and, considering the print,
time tools of the natives, must have
taken many months to make. 1t was
intended as war drum and was car,
ried about by ten men. A practical
American would ask whether it was
worth the trouble. It's beating did not
prevent its owner from losing his life

the granite blocks, and the Indians who
carried the general laid him on the ground
II front of this species of tribunal. The
person who seemed to be the president OF
this sinister assembly gave a sign, the
prisoners bonds at once fell of, and he
found himself once more able to move
his limbs.
The general drew himself up. crossed
bis hands on his chest. threw his body
back haughtily, raised his head and look
ed at his judges with a glance of with
ering contempt.
What do you want with me, bandits?"
he said; enough of this; these insolent
maneuvers will not alarm me-"
Silence :" the president said, coldly !;
st is not your place to speak thus"
Then he remarked to the Jester, who
was standing few PAGES from him:
Bring up the other prisoners, old and
new: everybody must hear what is going
to be said"
The Jester gave a signal to the war
riors some of them dismounted, ap-
preached the prisoners and, after loosen
ing the cord that bound the capataz they
led him, as we'll as the poems and pris-
oners of the second caravan, in front
of the tribunal. Then, at signal from
the Jester, the horsemen closed up round
the white men.

The Evolution of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxative and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, COM
pounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apothecary or the
family doctor. Such remedies as
picra, which was aloes and quassia,
dissolved in apple brandy. Son.e-
times hop tonic, made of whiskey,
hops and bitter barkS. A score or
more of popular, homemade remedies
were thus compounded, the formulate
for which were passed along from
house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would
take it up, improve it in many ways,
manufacture it on a large scale, ad-
vertise it mainly through almanacs
for the home, and thus it would be-
come used over large area. LAT
7 E RLY THE SEHOLD
REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A
MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by
the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania,
before it was offered to the public for
sale. DR.. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL
COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of
Mennonite origin. First, he pre-
scribed it for his neighbors and his
patients. The sale of it increased,
and at last he established a manu-
factory and furnished it to the
general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs,
colds, sore throat, bronchitis and
catarrhal diseases generally.
THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE
LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA
and its value in the treatment of
these ailments. They have learned
to trust and believe in DR.. Hartman's
judgment, and to rely on his remedy,

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
Nv constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is iafamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand APP
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing train of very
annoying and sometimes paint u
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain
When her system is in a deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this r d
likely to become active and with a
host of nervous irritations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of i'm
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
Irregularities, constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this gre t
change may be expected.
