,v th*' greatest precaution so long as I
, m working on a prescription, and when
I am done with it to dismiss it from my
mini altogether. It was a lesson I learn
ei early in life that to try to remember
the component pan ts of any certain pre
,|..ipiion is the formation of a most dan
gerous habit, not only because it would
confusion and worriment to the
B jnd, hut because it would soon engender
a disregard tor the prescription tile, and
that would most certainly prove disas
trous some time.
•■you would think physicians are infal
lible, and I must say they make mighty
w mistakes, But by changing a doc
tors prescription one time I saved a
man's life. Most pharmacists have a sa
cr-l regard for the formula a doctor au
t iriZ'-s, and follow it rigidly without
(l o stionlng the possibility of a mistake.
This prescription X speak of read ten
grains strychine and two grains of qui
rinc. I saw at once that the physician
h.,.1 made a mistake, and without saying
anything to my customer, who was im
patiently waiting for his medicine, I just
reversed the order and mixed two grains
of strychnia and ten grains of quinine.
The man left and' soon after the doctor
came in. 1 thought I wculd have a little
fun with him, so I asked him what he
nmant by prescribing so much poison
for that man. He asked me to explain,
and I handed him the recipe he had writ
ten a few minutes before. His face grew
as white as that paper, and he shook
like a leaf as he asked me if I had tilled it.
CL irai ao tiv *uv **• •
"Certainly,” I replied.
"For (iod's sake, Jones," he said, and
clutched at that counter for support.
"Thai man will die, and I am ruined."
"1 saw that I was carrying the Joke too
far so I told him of the change I had
nia.li- in it. He acted just like a man
who lias had a thousand pounds lifted
off his head ,and after good-naturedly
roasting me for putting him on the torture
rack 1"' offered me a handsome present,
which 1 very promptly refused. 1 have
tilled many a prescription for that doctor
since, but not one error that I can re
call has crept into any of them.”
A small hoy with a very dirty face
hnl quietly entered the store and was
making his way to the rear.
■ Well, sir," said the druggist, emerging
from his little cage," what can I do for
you?”
"Pa wants a poor house blister to put
on rna’s side where he—where It hurts
her."
"You mean a porous plaster?
"Oh—yessir."
After he had filled the boy's order the
man of drugs returned to his chair and
cigar, saying: “There are a great many
people like that boy. They come in here
not knowing what they want, and expect
m. to tell them. Lots of times I can
guess what they want from the unintelli
gible jumble they make of it. and 1 rarely
make a mistake when they can so much
as give me an idea. Lots of these blun
ders are very amusing, and afford me
many a quiet laugh.
‘Just the other day a young fellow
in and asked me if I had pearline,
saying that he had heard of it, and sup
posetl that it must be good for rheumatic
attack that was troubling him a
good deal. I came behind the counter
here to laugh; then I told him what
pearline was used for. Before he left I
had him fixed out in good shape—but
not with pearline.*’
The druggist lighted a fresh cigar and
laughed quietly as he thought of the cir
cumstance.
“One of the funniest things I can re
call,” he said, “happened to me while I
was in business in a country town in
Northern Ohio. I belong to the Methodist
church, and in the country people are
more closely identified with church work
than are those in the city. I was one of
the deacons, and if I do say it myself, 1
tried to live a consistent Christian life,
enjoying the respect of all my church
brethren. As is the custom with all drug
gists, I kept a small supply of excellent
whisky for medicinal purposes. One day
an intimate friend of mine came in and
wanted a pint of that whisky. On the
strength of friendship I quieted my con
science, and put him up a pint, wrapping
the bottle in paper in the usual manner.
He said he would call for it that after
noon, as he didn’t want to carry it around
with him. A short time after he had gone
Beacon , a very straight-laced mem
ber of our church, came in and wanted
a pint of cough medicine, handing me a
vial. Now, the deacon was one of that
kind of men who are always surrounded
t*y a dense atmosphere of piety and holi
ness, who always seem to repel rather
than invite the fellowship of sinners. The
mothers of the village used to point him
out to their boys-as a model for them to
emulate, and altogether the old gentle
man was thought to be as near sanctili
bation as it is possible for mortals to get.
Ho told me to put him up some good
preparation, saying he had an errand far
ther up the street, and would call for it
in a short time. I filled the order, wrap
p'd up the bottle and set it alongside the
other one. My dinner hour rolled round,
anil the deacon had not yet appeared.
Heaving, as I thought, explicit directions
with my boy as to which bottle should
be given him, I w*ent to my midday meal.
That evening my friend called for his
whisky, and I gave him the bottle re
maining on the counter.
“The next morning he stopped in, and,
with fine sarcasm, inquired what kind of
slop I sold him in the guise of good
whisky, producing the, bottle.
“*<Jreat guns!’ 1 sain. ’Frank, you have
beacon 8., cough medicine and he has
your whisky! What on earth will I tell
th.* deacon? You understand how r the mis
take could be made, but how can I explain
" to him? He will think I did it pur-
Posely, in order to shock his dignity and
P-Hy.’
“I filled another pint bottle for my
friend—not with cough medicine —and then
Paced the floor, trying to think how I
c °uld apease the dt‘acon’s wrath.
J was expecting him to bolt angry in at
th* door every minute, but he didn’t
c °me that afternoon. He didn’t come the
day, nor the next. The following
Ji rning, however, the deacon opened the
■ f, r, and solemnly walked back to the
*' \e, where two or three of us were en
tered in a political discussion. I bid him
morning, and with palpitating heart
offered him a chair.
No, Frank,’ said he, ‘I called to see
I' 1 ’ 1 a little bit,’ and he walked around
o' hind the prescription counter.
• lood Lord!’ I thought, ‘it’s coming
as in trepidation I followed him.
Slyly pulling that pint bottle out of
coat-tail pocket, he said: ‘Frank, you
may till that again with the same stuff.
J : s a prime medicine, sir—a prime medi
cine.’
“Well, I congratulated myself on getting
of it so easily, but my stock in the
peon’s holiness fell several points that
, There asce many deplorable things hap
ning all the time in which we druggists
innocently figure, and for which we can
jut be held culpable. I remember the case
01 a liveryman who used to buy ‘rough on
rats,’ from me to scattre about the barn
as It was infested with rodents. One
morning an employe found him cold in
death In the hay mow. with a partially
emptied bottle of the rat poison beside
him. I had sold him the bottle the pre
vious night without any compunction, for
he had bought any amount of it from me
before.’’
Two girls, who looked as though they
had just emerged from a successful con
test with some kitchenware had entered
the store and stood giggling before one of
the counters.
“Do you keep tooty-frooty here?’’ one
of them inquired.
“Not if we can sell it,” said the drug
gist, with a wicked smile at the girl. The
eostmetic on her cheek hid the blush if
there was one there.
“Well, gimme a dime’s worth."
The visits of the girls seemed to have
put the druggist in a great good humor.
“Looking for your beau to-night, Sal
ly?” he inquired.
"Wht's it to you?” she answered sau
cily. "Say,” as she just happened to
think, ”he's going to buy me a birthday
present, an - I’m going to tell him to
come here for it. Then you can help me
out in a little scheme. I want you to tell
him that you think one of them piush-cov
ered toilet sets with a lookin’-giass in
side would be Just the thing for me. It
may cost more than he wants to pay, but
he won’t kick”—this with an air of con
fidence—“if you tell him It will please me.”
With an tmplous tickle under the chin,
which the druggist thought was lost on
the newsman—but it wasn't—he showed
the schemer and her companion to the
door, and the trap for that poor young
man had been set.
“You don’t have any idea how many
people make a confidant of me. Like those
girls, they depend upon me to help them
when they have some game on hand. A
great many of my customers never think
ot going to a physician when out of sorts,
but come to me and ask me if I haven't
got something good for their particular
ailment. Nine times out of ten I can give
them something that will relieve, if it
doesn't absolutely cure them.
"Yes,” he said, as the newsman muffled
up and made a trial opening of his um
brella, “the drug business has its cares
and responsibilities; but, after all, I don't
know that I would want to exchange it
for anything else.”
STRATTON'S O\E SORROW.
Hl* Cripple Creek Mine* Co* Him 111*
Wife.
From the New York Press.
In all that has been written of Stratton,
the man that discovered Cripple Creek,
and is now owner of its richest mines of
gold, it has not been told that his find
which made his many times a millionaire,
lost him his wife, and his comfortable
home besides. Though he is rich enough
now to maintain homes by the hundred,
the old one, and the good and patient
wife, are gone forever. It happened in
this wise, as told to the writer by a man
who knows Stratton well:
Stratton, as every one knows, was a
carpenter, and so excellent a workman
that he had little difficulty in getting all
the jobs he could attend to. He earned
good wages, had a pleasant home and a
wife who was fond of him. ' The average
carpenter would be content with this.
Stratton was, for a time, until he got
to thinking of the silver &nd the gold
that he, was sure was hidden away among
the hills round about him.
He brooded over the rumors that came
to him and talked with his wife of the
fine things they would own and the grand
things they would do if ho could only
find the precious metal. She listened com
placently and told her husband that it
would be no harm for him to do a little
prospecting if he so wished. The change
would do him good. He would have a
healthful outing, even if he found noth
ing. So Stratton went. When he returned
the fever was settled upon him and his
troubles began.
They were not so bad at first, for Mrs.
Stratton believed there was something in
the stories he told her of the mines he
almost found, and she let him go again
and again out into the wild country, and
from which he always returned more or
less ragged and with nothing at all for
her but anew batch of stories. So she de
clared the mines were myths, and said
that he could do quite well enough for her
by sticking to his trade. She had no ob
jection to being rich if the dollars camo
easy, but she didn’t care to he left aloho
weeks at a time, and two or three times a
year, while her husband was off on a
wild goose chase, earning nothing at bll-
Stratton tried to settle down, but lie was
too restless. He coaxed his wife to let him
off once more, but she would not say
“yes." So the carpenter determined to pre
pare himself well, go oft quietly and stay
out till he found something so good that
his wife would forgive his running away.
The first part of the programme he carried
out all right, but the second part was a
dead failure.
He came back empty-handed. There was
a scene. Stratton had nothing to say,
but his wife said many things. Among
others, she declared firmly that if it hap
pened again she would leave, too. She
would not stay at home to keep house for
a man who didn't support her. She had
had a hard time while he was away this
trip. It never had been a pleasant home
all alone. He was a good carpenter; iet
him stick to his trade, and she would be
happy.
Stratton was fond of his wife and of his
home and was penitent. He promised as
she wished. He worked hard, and every
thing went smoothly for months, and
Mrs. Stratton thought her husband had
forgotten that he ever wanted a gold mine.
But, alas for her contentment! A man
came down from the hills, a fellow who
had been off with Stratton on one or two
of his trips, and Stratton asked him to his
house. Mrs. Stratton begged her guest
not to talk mines to her husband, and ne
agreed, but somehow Stratton learned
that his friend had seen strong signs of
gold in Cripple Creek, and that he would
have stayed to follow them up, but had
“gone broke.”
Then Siratton’s gold fever broke out
again. He knew his wife too well to
broach the subject to her, so, trusting to
the hold in her affections that the many
months he had stayed at home working
for her must have effected, he went off
quietly and stayed this time until he
found the mine.
Tattered and torn, but full of joy, he re
turned to offer his forsaken wife every
thing that gold could buy. He felt sure
of forgiveness. "When she sees the dust,
she'll forget the quiet leave I took,” he
said to himself. But she never saw the
dust, for when Stratton reached his home
he found it empty.
His wife had been as good as her word.
She had gone off too. She had done more
than that. He found on inquiry that she
had obtained a divorce and had married
another man, an engineer on the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe road, who is non
hauling ore from Stratton's mine. It
was a terrible blow to Stratton. His
friends say he will never recover from it.
And what does she that was Mrs. Strat
ton think about it?
HOMING INSTINCT OF HORSES.
They Are Better Than Civil Engi
neer* at Finding Their YY'ny.
Dr. Eugene Murray-Aaron in Popular
Science News.
Horses and mules are known by all
who have had much experience with them
as famous pathfinders, although I am at
any time re-dy to match my ability with
that of any other student of woodcraft
who is no more familiar with the coun
try than I. A good story of this power
in the horse tribe is told of a mule by
John T. Campbell of Rockville, Ind. In
the early days of prospecting In Ore
gon a party was in the field, and had cov
ered a very circuitous course, which they
depended on a civil engineer to enable
them to retrace, should they see any ob
jects worthy of a revisit. Having decid
ed to return to the home camp by the
most direct route, the engineer, after
calculating latitudes and departures,
nointed out what he believed to be the
correct direction along which they must
nroceed to reach the desired point. When
nighit overtook them they found that
thev were not far away from the desired
oolnt although he was quite unable to
Sav ill which direction it was best to
turn At this stage of their wanderings
the driver of the team turned one of his
mules loose; and at once, much to the
discomfiture of the engineer and the
amusement of the rest of the party it
set off in a direction that brought them
to the home camp. Now, this mule had

never before been allowed to wander in
this locality, for fear that it would stray
and become lost, nor had It ever before
been over the route by which they had
reached the point where the engineer was
at fault. It was after dark: there was no
one at the camp to make any noise that
its sharp ears might detect, and the way
was entirely unknown to it. How had it
at once taken the route that would lead
to camp?
A case allied to this happened to me in
the Blue mountains of Jamaica, where a
pony that had never before been In the
parish, where I was lost in a tropical
storm, took me back to the point from
which we had started In the morning, and
that by a much nearer route, entirely new
to both of us. While I was aware by the
growth of the trees that we were headed
in the right general direction, it was at
any time impossible for me to see more
than Ift) yards ahead. At the time that
I left the main trail and got on what
afterward proved to be a much shorter
cut. it was impossible for me to see any
think in the blinding fury of the cloud
burst. How the pony found its way with
so much satisfaction to itself—it never
for one instant appeared to falter on its
course—l was unable to determine. It
was more than once my experience after
that, when we had any difference of opin
ion as to the ramified ways in those Ja
maica hills, that it was the judgment best
to depend upon, to find the place where
it last had its fodder, although it was at
times annoying, when that place was not
where I wanted to go.
A FIERCE SWORD FIGHT.
Furious Thrusts Exchanged by Two
Fencing Masers In n Duel.
From the New York Sun.
The two most conspicuous fencing mas
ters of Paris, M. Vigeant and M. Rue,
quarrelled the other day over a letter
which the latter published in the Figaro,
criticising Vigeant’s conduct on the occa
sion of a fencing bout between Merignac
and San Malato In 18S1. M. Vigeant de
manded a retraction from M. Rue in &
rather stiff sort of letter. M. Rue prompt
ly refused, and a challenge was the con
sequence. Rue accepted the cartel, and
the respective seconds arranged the condi
tions of the fight. The weapons selected
were swords.
As the two men were masters in the
art of fencing, great interest was taken
in the duel, and it was thought that one
of them would certainly be left dead on
the ground. The place of meeting had to
be kept secret by the seconds, and to all
inquiries by reporters and others they re
plied: “The duel will be on the outskirts
of Paris.” On Dee. 22 last the tight came
off at the Park Saint-Ouen. A few Jour
nalists and friends alone had an oppor
tunity to witness the encounter. Among
them was a reporter of the Figaro, from
whose account the following description
of the affair is taken:
A duel is always exciting, especially
when it occurs between two swordsmen
like Vigeant and Rue. I'nlike amateurs,
when fencing masters fight they dispense
entirely with little thrusts at the arms;
they drive straight at the body. At It
o'clock In the morning the adversaries
and their friends came upon the ground.
The place was admirably selected, in front
of the old Chateau Saint-Ouen. Lille
mounds of sand, which might interfere
with the fighters, were promptly cleared
away by workmen employed by M. Adam,
the owner of the race course of Saint-
Ouen. Then when the spot was thorough
ly swept, the two combatants, M. Rue
and M. Vigeant. were called up. Previous
to this they were walking about quietly,
chatting with their friends and with the
reporters.
The two duelists took off their coats
and vests, although the cold was ex
treme, and one of the doctors. Prof. Feli
zet, remarked laughingly that the fighters
were in greater danger of catching pneu
monia than of getting a sword thrust.
However, the sequel made him change
his opinion, for the fight was furious.
There was an ominous silence in the
crowd, broken only for an Instant by the
whispering of impressions upon the prob
able Issue of the combat. M. Rue won
the choice of position and of swords. His
swords were Just half a centimeter longer
than those of M. Vigeant; but the seconds
gave the option to M. Vigeant of using
one of his own weapons If he preferred
it, and he decided to do so. It was now
twenty minutes past 11, and the weather
waa cold and clear. The adversaries were
placed in position by M. Broutin, one of
the best swordsmen of Paris, who pro
nounced the usual “Go it, gentlemen!”
and the fight began.
Vigeant and Rue were admirable in the
combat. Not the slightest emotion could
be noticed in the countenance of either.
Vigeant bent a little forward with a low
guard, and his vigorous parries at the
commencement of the engagement were
noticeable. Rue, taller than Vigeant, and
evidently more fiery, held his guard Just
as he would hold it at a public fencing
match, but with the point of the weapon
a little higher.
At first Rue took the offensive, and
attacked soberly and prudently by simple
straight thrusts, which were parried by
Vigeant with superb maestria. Then
Vigeant attacked at the very moment
when Rue was about to deliver one of
those extraordinary straight lunges which
he executes so marvelously in the fencing
school. This resulted in a close. At that
moment everybody was literally breath
less with excitement. The surgeons, the
spectators, and the seconds were in dread
of a fatal thrust. Fortunately It was
agreed that the bouts should be of two
minutes' duration only, and the two min
utes .were up. M. Broutin called out
“Halt!” Everybody heaved a sigh of re
lief. But in this first engagement, on
the attack of Rue, Vigeant was obliged
to give ground to the extent of about ten
metres; and the conditions of the com
bat, agreed upon verbally by the sec
onds, were very severe. Each adversary
had only fifteen metres to give way, and
so Vigeant had only five metres behind
him when the fight was renewed.
Rue attacked again. Vigeant stood up
boldly against him, and with extraordi
nary skill coolly parried the onslaughts.
His riposte were low. and sometimes he
let drive at the legs.
The professor of the rue Saint-Marc
(Hue) furiously endeavored to land, and,
like a cat, watched an opening for a
straight lunge, without advancing. Just
here some marvelous phases of fencing
were displayed on both sides. One would
imagine that the adversaries were play
ing with forked lightning. If any one
of the terrific thrusts had reached home,
the man who received it would have been
pierced completely through. Rut the com
batants were artists in the business, and
the lightning flashes seemed to dance be
tween them harmlessly, Vigeant still hold
ing his weapon low, tried to gain ground,
and in this effort the point of Rue's sword
scratched his forehead as he was parry
ing a thrust. He immediately thrust
back, letting drive at the leg, and ex
claiming: "How's that?”
The seconds rushed in and stopped the
combat. They believed that Rue was
wounded, but in reality he had only re
ceived a side stroke of the weapon, and
to prove that he was utterly uninjured,
he bounded up, rolled up his trousers,
and, smiling, said to the surgeons: “See
for yourselves!”
The spectators could also see, because
they were not very far away, and every
body noticed fhat Rue possessed muscles
of steel; and, as a matter of fact, many
of them' knew that beforehand.
The third bout was now to commence,
and there were many pale faces among the
spectators; but Just here a perfect coup
de theater occurred. The blood from the
wound in Vigeant’s forehead flowed down
into his eyes, but he insisted upon going
on. He said he would not stop for a
small scratch, and that the fight should
continue. But this was not the opinion
of the surgeons and the seconds, who,
noticing the blood flowing down over
his eyes, declared at once that he was in
a state of inferiority, and an end was put
to the struggle then and there. Specta
tors. seconds, and surgeons were only too
happy to see the affair, which promised
to be tragic, end in the way it did; but
the two rival swordsmen left the duelling
ground without shaking hands.

HOT SOUP FROM * SPRING.
A ItOXDERI'IL FREAK OF SATI RE
Fill Ml NEAR ELKO. NEVADA.
It I* Nature'* Free Linrh-l I*ltor*
Bring t ap* and I raeWrr* and Fraal
on Something That T*tc* Like
t bieken Broil— Frahalily of Vol
ranlr Origin.
Coyright, IS9S.
New York, Feb. L—The free soup houses
might have been dispensed with during the
hard time* if the people of Nevada had
only put up barrells of the chicken soup
that bubbles from the foot hills
of the Sierra Nevadas. in Elko county,
Nevada, and had dispatched it to the poor
in our great cities.
Incredible as it may seem it is, neverthe
less, a fact, that soup is a natural pro
duct; and 1 have often satisfied my hun
ger from this boiling hot spring, which
judging by the palate, is simply nature's
hot soup tureen.
The pool, scarcely 100 yards in diameter,
lies Just oft the stage road among the
foot-hills of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
The traveler comes upon it just after
crossing the toll bridge over the Humbolt
river, which rushes like a cataract
through the Humboldt valley far below,
making Chicken Soup spring seem rather
insignificant; but In reality this wonderful
little body of water has been sounded to
the depth of 1,300 feet, while the turbu
lent waters below are shallow in com
parison.
The south side of the pool Is deepest,
and seems to be the source from which
the peculiar solutions flows; for the bub
bling, boiling water on thai side will cook
a goose egg in two minutes, li is a com
mon sight to see tourists wending their
way with bags of crackers and cups In
their hands.
The neighboring road bod is ballasted
on one side by what appears to be a cov
ering of hardened lime; bin it is in re
ality pure crushed lava of unmistakably
volcanic origin, for lyifig in close prox
imity are evidences of volcanic erup
tions.
The pool has been dragged many times,
hut nothing has ever been taken from Its
depths but cedar. Cedar trees once
abounded in this locality, and the hark,
which bears marks of considerable age,
was probably thrown In by the Indians
while building their rafts and i anoes.
This wonderful freak, lying about three
miles and one half from the rough little
mining town of Elko, is never visited by
the inhabitants unless they are passing
that way and feel hungry. The. miners
and the rest of the matter of fact pop
ulation have long ceased to wonder at
nature's partiality, and accept the exist
ence of this boiling soup caldron as a con
venient fact. Whether It is due to the
mineral properties of the soil, or to the
close proximity of lava beds, or is itself
a volcano in a mild state of aqueas erup
tion, 1 know not. But there it Is, and any
one who will go to Elko, can easily find
the spring and sample the soup to corrob
orate my statements. Francis Fox.
