It rancor. I have tried a number of physicians, t

Among the number were one or t wo specialists.

TIicic was once a beautiful
I princess who hail a great fond
ness for almonds, ami ate them
constantly, but nothing would in
duee her to marry, and in ordei
to rid Ifersclf of her suitors, ol
whom there were a great number,
she invented the following device:
To every prince wh» sought liei
hand she presented the half of a
bile she ate the
said: “If your
lordship can succeed in getting
me to take anything from vour
hand belore I say the words ’I re
member,’ then I am ready to be
come your bride. But if, on the
contrary, you receive anything
from me without thinking tospeak
these words, then you must agree
to have your hair shaven entirely
off your head and leave llie king
ilom.”
This, however, was an artful
strategcin, for, according to the
court custom, no one dared to
hand anything directly to the
princess, but first to the court 1*
iy, who then offered it to her.
But if, on the other hand, the
princess should desire to give or
take anything—who could refuse
her? So it was useless for her
suitors to make the trial, for when
they seemed likely lobe success
ful, ami diverted the princess so
that she was about to lake some
thing troin them, the court lady
always stepped between, and
spoiled the best laid plan.
When the princess wished to
dispose of one of them, she would
appear so charming and cncour
aging to him that he would be cn
tirely fascinated, and when lie sal
at her feet, overcome with joy,
then she would seize upon any
tiling near her as though by acci
dent: “Take this as a remem
brance of me,” and when lie had
it in his hands, befoee be could
think or speak the necessary
words, there would spring out at
him. from it perhaps a frojj, or a
hornet, or a bat, and so startle
him that he would forget the
words. Then, upon the sjxit, he
was shaven, and away with him.
This went on for some years, and
in all the palaces of the other
kingdoms the princes wore wigs.
Thus it came to be tbe custom
from that time.
Finallj it happened that a for
eign prince came upon some pe
culiar business. He thought her
very beautiful, and at once per
ceived the strategem. A friendly
little gray man had given him an
apple that once a year he was
privileged to smell, and then there
came in his mind a very wise
idea, and he had become much
renowned, on account of bis deep
wisdom. Now, it was exactly
time for him to make use of bis
apple.
So, with the scent from it caine

“If lltou wouldst win in the

no circumstances must thou eith with their bands fastened in their t Wanted a Will,

So lie had his hands bound in sun shone warmly, and from the I very naturally revived by the ap
Ins belt, and weut with his marshal
to the palace, and asked to be nl
lowed to eat bis almond. The
princess was secretly much pleas
ed with him. ami immediately
handed him an almond, which his
marshal look and placed in his
month. The piincess inquired
what this meant, and. moreover,
why he constantly carried bis
hands in his girdle.
He replied that at Ins courts
the custom was even more strung
!y enforced than at tiers, and he
dared not to give or lake any
thing with his hands, at the most
with only his bead and feet. Then
the princess laughed and said:
“In this case we will never be
able to have our little game to
trees the red cherries hung so In
that they brushed their cheeks
as they passed. The princess
saw them and exclaimed:
“What a shame that you cannot
get some ol them for me!”
“Necessity knows no law,” said
the prince, and he broke one of the
cherries with bis teeth from a
branch and offered it to the
princess from his mouth.
The princess eould not do oth
erwise than receive it from his
mouth, and so her face was brought
close to his. So w hen she had the
cherry belwceu her lips, and a
kiss from him besides, she was
not able to say that instant, “I re
member.”
Then lie cried joyfully, “Good
morning, much loved one,” and

He sighed and answered: j drew his hand from

“That can never happen!' ex together in |>erfect peace ami
claimed the whole court.
“Why have you come hither.
asked the princess angrily, "when
you have such stupid customs?”
“Because you are so beautiful,”
replied tbe prince, and if I can
not win you, I may at least have
the pleasure of seeing you.”
“On the oilier band, I have no
similar gratification,” said she.
So the prince remained at the
palace, and he pleased her more
anil more, but when the humor
seized her. she tried in every man-
ner to pursuade him to lake his
hands from his girdle, and re
ceive something from her. Sh
also entertained him charmingly
and frequently offered him flow
ers, bonbons and iriokets. and fi
nally her bracelet, but not once
did he forget and stretch out in-
band to take them, for the pres
sure of the girdle reminded bin
in lime. So lie would nod to In-
marshal, and he received them,
saying: “We remember.”
“Thus a year passed away, and
the princess said to herself:
“This can not remain so. It
must be settled in one way or the
other.”
She said to the prince:
“I have one of the finrsl gar
dens in the world. I will show
your lordship over it to day.”
The prince smelt his apple, and
as they entered the garden, said:
“It is very needful here, and in
order that we may walk near each
other in |>eace, and not he dis
til rlied by the desire to try our
game, I beg you my lady, that
Tor this one hour you will take
upon you the custom of my court,
and let your hands also be fasten

each other's art. and there will
be nothing to annoy us.”
The princess did not feel very
safe about Ibis arrangement, but
lie begged so strongly that she
could not refnse him Ibis small
favor. So they went on together.

camp incident which happened
under our immediate observation
ami in which we give real names.
In June 1861. Col. B lltli Ga..

mile weal of Slarkrille, drilling
and waiting to be called into ser-
vice.
As some of the boys were a lit

It happened one day that J. J.
Kirkpatrick asked leave to go to
bis g:rdle ] town to meet a man who had
promised to pay him three dollars
and a half.
Everybody knew that many a
long day had waxed and waned
since Kirk's pocket had been the
coffer of so princely a sum, and
the leave was readily granted—
leave of absence to expire at 2
p. m., the hour for beginning the
afternoon drill.
The day with its duties and ex
ercises passed away and about
deep dark Kirk came staggering
into camp, shied round the Cap
tain's tent and landed at Jesse
Hall's, about seventeen sheets in
the wind.
“Kirk, the Captain will make

How A Sioux Ities.
In 18SI I was hunting some lost
horses in the broken onuntry west
■>f the Big Horn river. I had rid-
din all the morning over a country
that was strange to me. About
11 o'clock I crossd a plateau, and
was surprised to come suddenly
to the edge of a canon, the exist
encc of which I had not even sus
pected. In the canon was a stream
with clumps of cottonwood tim
ber along its banks, and in one
of the open spaces was an Iudian
lodge. The Indians that hunted
in that country were peaceable,
but the war was just over, and
the Sioux were feeling rather sole.
If they were Crows, or Arapalioes
I might get some information
uhuiil my horses. I lay down and
watched. No smoke came from
the tepee; no one moved around;
half a dozen ponies grazed a few
hundred yards distant. There
was not even a dog, which looked
isther suspicious. After wailing
fire minutes I knew no more than
at first. Suddenly three white
tail deer came from the timber
and walked leisurely across the
opening. Then I knew that the
camp was deserted, and the
strangeness of it startled me. I
mounted and rode down to the
creek, and straight to the tepee.
I threw back the lap, and I shall
remember what I saw until death.
In the centre of the tepee was
spread a buffalo robe, and on the
robe were guns and scalps and
many arrows; and there was food
done up as for a journey; ami
sitting cross-legged in a circle
around the robe, were six braves
of the Sioux Nal*on. All were in
their prime—ail decked out in
war paint, and each one held a
bow and arrow in bis hand. On
every face was an expression of
calm indifference as of one mho
ceil lie; suffers nor enjoys, neither
11o|m*s nor fears. The faces were
those of dead men. and the small
(six had marked them with its
awful mark. They took their
misery with their heads up, and
even the horrors of this disease
eould leave upon their hearts no
stain of fear, upon their brows no
mark of suffering. And this that

OCTOBER 24, 25 & 26, 1887.
Tfce Three Days Following the Pieifynont Exposition.
Tallapoosa. Ga.. the citv of the* GoMen River,” is situated in Haralson Coon 4
tv. on the Georgia Pacific Railroad, midway between the enterprising nianufaC*
luring cities of Atlanta and Anniston. Its elevation is 1,200 feet almve sea level,
and its climate is the most oerfect of any section of the United States. It is the
winter climate of Rome and the summer climate of Jerusalem. The purest of wa
ter abounds in inexhaustible quantity, mafty mineral springs have lieen discover
ed. with valuable medicinal properties, and remarkable cures are chronicled daily.
Rich mines of Iron. Manganese, Gold. Silver and other minerals surround the city,
and the finest Marble Quarry in the South. The iron ore is of the Bessemer class
used extensively for steel making by the direct process, and is pronounced by ait
experts as the largest vein of this class of valuable ore in the Southern Sates.

beautifully laid out in boulevard, avenues, streets, parks, lakes, etc., the laml-

Located sixty-three miles from Atlanta. 100 miles from Birmingham, and forty
miles from Anniston, with no large manufacturing city intervening, it must, as a
natural consequence, rapidly grow in importance.

day, with no stimulus but its agricultural and timber interests (minerals not until
recently thought of), it has increased to 1.000 population, and supports three ho
