from the far corners of the earth.
Our boat, the Colonel Wright, was
running that spring and every trip up,
she was loaded to the waterline with
freight and passengers Such con-
glomerate array of humanity and
merchandise, | never saw before and
never expect to again.
'One night we were coming up
heavily loaded aSusual. The crowds
were scattered about the boat, some
telling thrilling stories of California in
'49 some were singing, and card
games were going on in every avail
able place. Late in the evening, the
forward deck was cleared, as much
as possible. An old fiddle, in the
hands of half-shot miner, was
pressed into service, and big hurley
yankee, a former cow-puncher, was
elected floor manager. There were
no women aboard, and all hands
laid to for big stag The din of the
merry makers, the clash of the
engines, and the splash of the big
stern paddle wheel resounded through
the otherwise quiet canyon, waking
the eternal silence with the message
of the oncoming civilization.
The night was perfect one.
Hardly breath Of air was stirring
The full moon made everything as
clear as day. All night long revelry
reigned, until the the moon sank be-
hind the western hills, when such as
were not already stretched out under
the influence of liquor, sought some
ur- occupied nook, or stretched out on
the deck wherever, and to the best
advantages they could The succeed
ing silence was as depressing as the
previous din had been exhilerating.
Even the crew, exhausted by their
long continued strenuousneSS, became
drowsv and unwatchful.
Just before dawn, hazy grayish-
ness seemed to foreShadow the COM
ing light, objects becoming more dis
tinctly observable. One of the crew
thought he noticed a figure moving
stealthily among the supplied sleepers.
He was Swallowed, and the attention
of others was called to him. 1t was
discovered that he was rummaging
through their belongings generally.
Sufficient was witnessed to Justify
their suspicious, and while bending
over sleeper, intently absorbed, the
thief was seized in the very act of
abstracting some gold dust from the
blanket-roll, being used as a pillow
by one OF the SleeperS.
The culprit knew the prevailing
spirit against sneak thieves. He made
a desperate struggle, endeavoring to
free his hands, so as to be able to
WELD the guns and knives at his belt,
by means of which he hoped to keep
off his assailants until he could gain
sufficient distance, to leap over board
and take his chances in stemming the
current, reach the bank and make
away.
Hearing the scufle with the atten-
dant oaths, | rushed to the scene
just in time to see stranger plant a

But, Captain, were you not afraid
of all those rough menu was the
earnest question of modest appear
ing young lady, who with her father
were members of group gathered a.
bout Captain Baughman, in the for
ward cabin of the little Snake river
steamer. Surely such a question
could come from none other than a
timid, dependent woman.
To look at the captains square
shoulders, massive frame, keen deter
mined eye, and above all his square
cut chin, would suggest anything in
the broad land, but timidlv or fear.
While absolutely fearless, and able to
cope with the most ferocious of all
wild beasts, namely wild man; yet
while in the presence of, and talking
to ladies, the captain could appear
with so much gentleness of word and
manner, as TO inspire confidence in
the most timid. 1t was this fact that
had embroidered Miss Stranger to her
impulslve question, after Baughman
had completed a vivid description of
some of his wild experiences during
the early rush up Snake river into
Idaho.
Afraid of them1" questioned the
captain in return, and then pondered
as if in search of feeling of fear,
that he might better express his utter
disregard for it. AT the same time
he realized that the questioner might
have some fear of her own safety, as
she was now about to enter the scenes
of SO much adventure, attended also
with the natural timidity accompany
ing all new and uncertain experiences.
The captain wished to answer her
question in such manner, if possible
as to inspire confidence in her new
surroundings, and dispell all thoughts
of fear an unrest.
well indeed, | cannot exactly
realize just what you mean by fear,
never having experienced any feelings
that | could attach resemblance to
my understanding of that word.
There was nothing to be afraid of.
These western frontiersmen, you will
find, with but few exceptions, to be
as jealous defenders of Justice and
equity as will be found anywhere.
When compared, in this respect,
with the average of the new genera
ton of the cast, they will | believe,
far exceed them. You will find that
you were never safer in your life than
when you are in the midst of these
men. They are men of the trueSt
type of honor, and only deal harshly
when some scoundrel of an outsider
tries to take advantage of them, OF

to protect themselves Things hap

circumstances the hobgoblin of lit

said there are many persons to whom
II is positive pain TO entertain a new
idea. This slavish defense to yester-
day robs us of many a fine inspira-
ton, and many splendid opportunity

is painful, but because it is different

have been doing all along.

LIGHT BOOZE
Do You Drink II?

A minister's wife had quite tussle
with coffee and her experience is in
teresting. She says:
During the two years of my train
ing as a nurse. while on night duty,
became addicted to coffee drinking. Be
tween midnight and four in the morn
ing, when the patients were asleep,
there was little to do except make the
rounds, and it was quite natural that
l should want a good, hot cup of cot
fee about that time. 1t stimulated me
and | could keep awake better.
After three or four years of coffee
drinking | became nervous wreck
and thought that / simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes so severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, so | resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.

Dear Sirs: AS to the condition of myself
and mother. 1 car that we are both IN
normal health In the year 1902 we were
cured OF genuine consumption by your Lung
Germine. Before using LunE-Germine we
were treating with the best physicians IN
jackson, but seemed to get no relief TO say
nothing Of a cure One physician told my
father that nothing more could be done for
my mother, she being in the last stage Of
consumption. I was in the second stage
Soon after getting this information LunR-
Gerrnine was recommended to us. and we both
began its use. The result was that we were
both cured, completely and permanently. NO
trouble Of this kind has been noticed since
we were cured, which is now lust about i've
years ago
I shall ever be enthusiastic over Lung,
Germine and recommend II to any one who
has lung trouble in any form No matter
how Far the disease is advanced, 1 believe
Il is never too late to give this medicine a
fair trial. for ii certainly has been success
fnl in our cases one Of which was a most
advanced one. Yours very truly.
