A Texnn correspondent tells the fol
lowing story of (i Western desperado,_
known ns “Old Ueisef” who lthd killed
liis score of men, nnd,was known ns n
desperado, Tho writer/says; Sturgis
is n gnmbler, tuid wlioti ho first enme
here everybody wns nfrnid of him, n1id
lio sorter rim tho settlement. . Old
Reese wns nwny then. Ho enmo back
v here nbont two montliR ago. Tito dny
lie returned he wns passing along when
he met n little boy crying. Old Rceso
is very fond of children, nnd they nil
like him. Ho picked tho little follow up,
dried his tears, and inquired tho cause of
his trouble. Between his sobs tho boy
told his story. He wns tho only son of a
’■ poor widow womnn who lives down by
\ ltho fiver, nnd does washing for tho
( gamblers. Early, in tho spring Sam
thurgiS ehiployod' him to attend to his
^ hatpo promising 'to.pay him two dollars
a week for his services. Glad to bo able
to help his mothor, tho little fellow took
charge of tho gambler's cnballo, and
groomed and fed him, for sixteen weeks.
Then Sturgis sold tho animal, nnd the
boy's services werd -no longer required.
Ho had just been in'lo nsk Hturgis for
liis pay, and the gambler had not only
not paid hint, but had kicked him out of
tho casino.
“lie kickod you, did ho ?” said Rceso,
nnd those bluo eyes of his snapped,
“Yes, sir,’’ faltered tho boy.
“And ho won't pay yon votir money ?"
"No, sir," whimpered tho boy; “and
mother needs it.”
“I think lie'll pay," answered Rooso.
“You run right home, how, and I’ll be
right down to seo you presently, nnd
bring tho money."
Hturgis was pretty flush then and
wAs running a big game. Old Reeso
weTd.*(lown to son him. Well, sir it’s
only about a week ngo that ho recovered
from that interview and was able to bo
about.
Old Reeso walked into tho saloon,
fail'd fur pen and pnpor, and mndu out
the following bill: .
Haw Htuuoir :

llo walked up to tiro lahlo \vher
Sturgis was dealing monte ami laid this
bill beforo him.
“Sturgis,” ho said, "pfl^ tltis : little
bill, atm I'll roooipt it.”
Tho gambler glanced at the paper,
jltmpod to bis feet, jerked out his six-
shooter, and said:
"I'll*o hanged if I do I"
“i think yon will,” said IteeRp, and -
lie knocked tho fellow down.V* '
Be [ora ho could regain liiH foot old
Reese was upon him. Ho jerked the
six shooter out of Sturgis’s hand, and
heat him over tire bead with it until ho
cried for mercy.
“WillKou pay tho bill?” nsltedReeso,
raising the six-shooter to hit liiiiAtgain.
“Yes.” And lie paid it. *■ • - •
But Riposo was not through with him
yet. Tlioro was a .lustieo of tlitxIVaou
in Laredo at the time, a reCerri'dntftitTi-
tion. Old lleese knew Unit the* gainljiy
would have him arrested for tho AssMilt,
and compel him to p.ay a flno. JffflnS]

.From Tho Youth's Compnnlonfjl, ,»,, i
Two gentlemen, at- it largo reception In
New York last Winter, were discussing
one of tho foremost politicians of tthe
country, it man who, whether in oflWor
out, nlwnys keeps liimsolf promlli&ntly
before tho publio. "I know him at
college,” said one of tho gontlompn.
“Ho was a man with a clear head, extra-,
ordinary memory, and mneh personal
magnetism. But I cannot linderstMid
why lie chose a public life or 1ms piuihod
himself forward so persistently. IIo wns
a lazy, thoughtful, visionary follow, ab
solutely destitute of nmbition ” “I can
tell you tliu seerot,” said tho other.
“You will find it in his wifo’s noso.
Thero hIio is ! Hid you over seo a moro
perfect irfearnation of energy and lovo
of Command ? Napoleon would linivo
chosen Her for ono of his Marshals )it>
lii-Ht sight.” His friend wns nmusod at
the guess, and said presently: "Thero is
another of my old classmates, I‘. lie
was u thin, ambitious, scholarly fellow,
with refined tastes anil high aims. Ho
now is a fat, indolent, animal, without a
thought, apparently, hut liis cognac nnd
terrapin. Who is to blamo for that?”
“His wife’s mouth and her money, I
will show her to yon.” ^Jo pointed out'
a gross, voluptuous woman,richly dressed.
”1’.,” ho resumed, “has lived in idleness
sitice his marriage. He was not strong
enough to carry tho weight of so much
wealth nnd so much vulgarity. They
have borne him down. Ho will never
riso."
Young men at school and college are
very apt to be enraptured'IVith a spark
ling oxo, a rosy cheek, or somo charm
of manner in somo yoting .)vonmu that
they happen to moot. Tlikv aro hardly
masters of themselves; nnd a moonlight
night, or a song, suddenly tempts them
to ask tho enchanting creutatro xvlio 1ms
bewitched them to share jjheir future.
They do not consider tbat jAnq.xvill be the
most real, active force m their xvliolc
lives, almost irresistible with, power to
drag them down or to lift them up in
hotly, mind, and soul. ,,,«
Dusting.—Dusting is a perfect mama
in Germany; a room is dusted two or
three times, a day, oven whore no particle
of dust can be seen, and tho German
honsexvife prides herself on her exact
ness, or “accuracy," os they call it there,
in nl'. her household dqtjes.. Every
household is provided with a collection
of little brushes—long, short, 'rouud,
flat, etc.—that she may, every day,
•brash out every crack and,crevice in the
furniture. \

May 23, 1883: "I havo uanl Hunt’s Romocly

Reasons Why You Feel Badly.
Because j’our stomach is not doing its work properly.
Because your liver is out of order, and wants righting.
Because your blood is thin, and needs iron in it.
Because you are troubled with nervous aches and pains.
Because you are vexed with languor and debility,
All these Reasons Can be Sot Aside oy the Use of Brown’s Iron Bitters, which will
Tone up your enfeebled stomach, and help it to digest.
Refresh your wearied liver and put it in splendid order.
Enrich your watery blood, and give it a rich red color.
Calm your worried nerves, and give them restful peace.
Strengthen your whole system and drive debility and languor out.
. Considering that any man who has a dollar may buy of the nearest
druggist a bottle of Brown’s Iron Bitters, there is no reason why people
should continue to feel badly, just for the fun of it. 4

ordnined it, he hod on board bis Smith
& Wesson rifle. He nt once took in tho
situation, remarking, “Six miles out nt
sea, and going at the rate-of ten miles
an hour, and now 400 yards high, and
every minute going higher, higher,
.'higher. I can cut those balloons, and
will do it or die.”
“Bang!” went tho rifle—but no
cbnnge in position. Again, again and
again—the fifth shot- -ono balloon dis
appeared amidst 1 lie shouts of the bont-
men. At the eight shot it became evi
dent that the balloons could no longer
oarry the weight of tho little floating
angel, as she wns gradually descending,
not in a straight line, but in a southeast
direction, toward Harker’s Island, but
whether dead or alive, none could tell.
Down, down, down site comes—ns gen
tle as if handled by human hands—and
to fall in a cradle of sand. With fear
and trembling, all ran up—Ben Piver in
front. “Gentlemen,” says he, “I will
be dinged, if she ain’t live nnd kicking.”
There sat little Birdie playing with a lot
of shells, and ns she was picked up she
dung on to a handful, saying, “Dcso
sels for mamma.”
With the prize they all returned to
the boats. There snt Mr. Voorhees,
with a death-like pallor on his counte
nance, and when told that he had saved
the babe unhurt, his tender heart gave
way, and he wept like a child. Tho
little darling came out as bright ns a
new pin, nnd seemed to look upon the
whole matter as fun gotten up for her
amusement.
Thus ended a day of the most intense
exeitement that the oldest inhabitant nt
this old North Carolina resort ever
dreamed or thought of, and may the ^
writer never again witness its like.
REPAIR SHOP,
85 Decatur 6t., - AT^kNTA, GA.
Some folks would say (BEt the above
is n little t» much mixed up to be very
good in either of its departments, and
that Mr. Cunningham cannot be a very
good watchmaVei if he works on guns
sewing machines, and anything else
that comes along.
Now let me s»y to those who may fa
vor me with a perusal of this that my
txperiencein watchmaking runs back
over a quarter of a century, and that
part of my businees H under mv own
personal supervision, and that I propose
to do the best possible work on every
ob entrusted to me.
The sewing machine department of
my business is in the hands of thorough
ly competent workmen, and I guarantee
every machine that is repaired at the G.
C. S. M. Ex. and R. 8. shall be well and
thoroughly done.
Now, if you have a machine that
needs repairing, »snd or bring it to us,
and if we don’t make it work all right
we won’t charge you a nickel. We alio
have an assortment of second hand ma
chines that will do good sewing, which
we will sell cheap.
Saved By a “Madstone.”
William Pylo, a book agent residing
with his wife and two children nt Dela
ware, Ohio, was bitten by a mad dog on
Saturday last. He was soon nfter taken
with hydrophobia and was kept under
control only by the use of strong opiates.
Sunday he gTew worse rapidly, nnd it
Was feared he would die. Monday a
madstone was applied. This peculiar
stone was found iu the possession of a
man named Lepp, whose father brought
it from Virginia seventy years ago.
The stone is of a lead-color and is shaped
like a honey comb. It gave the ufllieted
man instant relief. Tiie attending phy
sicians, while placing very little confi
dence in the efficacy of the madstone,
now declare that there is strong hope of
the man’s recovery.
Recently, while stocks were selling
at npish figures, a woman who visited
Bchnlz's market was asked what she
wished. She replied : “Let me look at
the stock quotations first. ” After glanc
ing over them a moment she remarked:
“Well, you may send the nicest roast
you have to the house.” On Saturday
last she again visited the market, and
after looking over the list she ordered a
soup bone.—Carson Appeal,
