them. Mrs. Thomas was kept busy. The
younger boys nodded the bullets and
the older ones and the men returned
the fire Of the Indians. While there
were thirty occupants of the cabin,
most of them were women and chill
dren, and on the women developed most
of the work of loading the rifles.
After the hours fight the Indians re-
treated, riding off thru the timber, and
leading all Of the Thomas horses and
those of the other settlers who had
brought their horses to the Thomas
premises.
Whether or not the fire of the set
tiers was effective was never known, as
the Indians. if they lost any Of their
party, or any were wounded, all were
taken away in the retreat.
Seven Lose Lives in Attack.
In the attack on the Thomas cabin
and the other houses Of the settlement
that We're pillaged in the same raid,
seven people lost their lives. William
and George Wood, who kept the little
settlement store, and were on friendly
terms with the Indians, had refused to
join with their neighbors in preparing
for defense, believing that the Indians
would not modest them. The Woods
brothers were both killed and scalped,
and their bodies burned. The Stewart
Stewart, his wife and
two ch1ldren-were all slaughtered.
Johnny Stewart, aged 8, managed to
escape into the woods, and found his
way to the Thomas cabin. The four
Stewards, two Woodses. and little Will
liam Thomas comprised the list OF vic
tins of the raid.
Leave For Fort Dodge.
The winter of 1867 had been a very
severe one, as Mrs. Thomas remembers
well, and there had been untold suf-
fering. There was much snow, and it
was hard to get about, altflo by March
some of the snow had disappeared.
At O'clock on the day Of the attack,
after all was still, preparations were
made to leave for Fort Dodge, consid-
cred the nearest point of safety.
Fortunately the Indians had not
cared to bother with the Thomas cattle,
and yoke Of the best animals on the
place We're got ready and hitched to

refugees started on the long cold drive.

REVIEWS ANTIQUE WASHSTAND
for Fifty Gents and Buys 1t Back for $20.

An elderly Long Islander once at tended an auction of old furniture. Among the articles for which bids were asked was heavy marble topped washstand. The Long Island CT bid ten cents for it, and as he was the only one who spoke the wash stand was knocked down to him rather to his dismay, as he had to have it conveyed to his distant home. For several years this ten-cent antique was an occupant of the barn, it's mar ble top being removed and the interior of the stand serving as a receptacle for cans of paint.
 One day clerk from furniture store in the neighborhood called at the Long Islanders and accidentally caught sight of the unappreciated washstand He made some inquiries concerning it, and eventually pur- chased it for 50 cents The clerk took his purchase to the store, gave 1t a thorough renovating and it became a handsome piece of hardwood furni- ture, the marble top adding the fin ishing touch. Not long after this transformation the elderly Long

built a splendid home since the death of her husband and the wealthy Mrs Wyeth of Phila- delphia had her nephewarchitect carry out her ideas of distinctive home.
 In point of achievement however, unques- tionably the greatest,o all the house build CTS in the coterie of wealthy widows is Mrs. Albert Clifford Barney, who inherited one fortune from her father, a Cincinnati pio- neer, and married another. Mrs Barney is of a most artistic temperament and is indeed an artist of no mean ability in both oils and water coors. She spends much time in Paris, where she and two of her daughters, who de- vote themselves respectively to painting and sculpture, are much in their element. When she is in this country Mrs. Barney divides her time and her boundless energy between the staging of Greek plays and other amateur the atricals of a most ambitious character and the designing and building of houses for love of it. These unique habitations that she creates Mrs Barney sells or rents, and be it said to her credit that she is a clever enough business woman to make her art profitable in dollars and cents as well as in personal satisfaction.
 In the field of philanthropy American wid- ows have of late years accomplished so much good as to make these bereayed ones as a class the most respected and most admired contingent of American multimillionairedom. The generosity of Mrs Phoebe Hearst in good works has insured her place for all time in our real hall of fame and Mrs. Harrmans gift of a splendid park to the state of New York bids fair to be but the first of a series of no- table benefactons.

CURRENT WRECKS A BRIDGE
Twenty-seven Big Timbers Are Cut Through in One Day by Aid of
 Electricity.

One of the most ingenious uses to which electricity was ever put was in the wrecking of bridge over the Wa bash in Indiana.
 This bridge had been purchased by the county authorities, who intended to replace it by steel structure erect ed on the old piers and abutments. The owner agreed to remove the bridge in 30 days.
 The chief difficulty lay in the short time agreed upon for the removal of the bridge. Several wreckers to whom the matter was submitted declared that 1t would be impossible within 30 days to pull down the old bridge with out injury to the piers.
 The structure might be blown up with dynamite, but the explosion would also destroy the piers. Were it fired, the heat would crack and injure the masonry of the bridge. The 30 days expired, and an extension of one week was granted.
 The owner was at his wits end, when he chanced upon an electricia q who proposed. not to blow up tie

About seven years ago I ceased drinking coffee to give your Postum g. trial
 T had suffered acutely from various forms of indigestion and my stomach had become so disordered as to repel almost every sort of substantial food. My general health was bad. At close intervals 1 would suffer severe attacks which confined me in bed for a week or more. Soon after changing from coffee to Postum the indigestion abated, and in short time ceased entirely. l have continued the daily use of your excellent Food Drink and assure you most cordially that I am indebted to you for the relief it has brought me.

 Of course, when mans health shows he can stand coffee without trouble, let him drink it, but most highly organized brain-workers sim ply cannot.
 The drugs natural to the coffee ber- ry affect the stomach and other organs and thence to the complex nervous system, throwing it out of balance and producing disorders in various parts of the body. Keep up this daily pois- oning and serious disease generally supervenes. So when man or woman finds that coffee is 8 smooth b.Z dead- ly enemy and health is of al ' value at all, there is but one road-quit.
 It is easy to find out if coffee be the cause of the troubles, for if left off 10 days and Postum be used in it's place and the sick and diseased conditions begin to disappear, the proof is un- answerable.
 Postum is not good if made by short boiling. It must be boiled full 15 min utes after boiling begins, when the crisp flavor and the food clements are brought out of the grains and the bev- craze is ready to fulfill it's mission of palatable comfort and renewing the cells and nerve centers broken down by coffee.

bridge, but to burn it apart. His pro- posal was gladly accepted.
 Each span of the bridge was com posed of nine chords of three timbers each. The 27 sills were to be cut simultaneously, so that the span would drop between the piers into the river The cutting was to be accomplished by burning through the wood with loops of iron resistance made red-hot by the passage of the electric current.
 Fifty-four resistance loops were heated to wreck each span, and the spans were wrecked one at a time. Sufficient current was used to heat the iron wires cherry red. The result was

The general impression is that the tone of bell is largely matter of accident, but this is not so. A bell must be tuned the same as a piano or any other musical instrument Ev- cry bell has five sounds, which must blend together in perfect harmony, and this is accomplished by shay ing down certain parts until the de- sired harmony is secured. In the event of shaving too deep the bell is not injured but the tuning operation is prolonged, as other parts must be operated on and cut away to a core spending degree

the Pennsylvania coal and oil magnate and Mrs M A. Hanna, widow of the late United States senator from Ohio
 Mrs Hanna's life since the death of her husband, we may here digress to explain has illustrated how great is the latitude of life open to the modern wealthy widow in con trast to the circumscribed existence of the av- craze widow of prominent official of a cen tury ago who, upon the death of her husband was wont to retire to his plantation or country seat and live in the utmost quietude if not in actual secusion. After the death of her hus- band Mrs Hanna lived for time in a fash fonable hotel in Washington. Then she built 2 large house and occupied it for time, later dfsposing of it to a prominent army officer. Next she had a special apartment arranged to her order in one of the largest of the ho- teIs in New York, even providing a special kitchen for Maggie" her jewel" of a cook. Then desiring a change, she hit upon the idea of her present program of life, which calls for an extended sojourn in Europe each spring and summer and a winter residence in Wash fngtcn, where she has two apartments of IA rooms each in fashionable apartment house.

exactly the same with every span. Be tween the turning on of the current and the fall of the span an hour ana 40 minutes elapsed. Then the mass of timbers fell into the water well in side the piers, so that they were unin- jured.
 The cut made by the hot wire was sharp and clean, and the wood was not charred more than an inch from the place of fracture.
 The current was first turned on at about five o'clock in the morning, and at two in the afternoon the last span crashed down to the river bed.- Scientific American.
