yell from every warrior as the two guards
led me to the stake. How did I feel?
Well, I was recklessly desperate. I hated
to go without having revenge on some of
them, and, as there was no other way, I
gave them a tongue lashing. I called
them women and cowards; I cited fic¬
titious cases, when one hunter had licked
six of them; I dared and defied them to
do their worst. I had them worked up
until they fairly screamed for my blood,
and I reasoned that the torture would not
last long. I was stripped of every vestige
of clothing, bound hand and foot to the
stake, and. as in the engineer’s case, two
warriors made ready to shoot powder into
me. They were loading their guns when,
out from the heavy growth of cotton¬
woods behind the camp, came a line of
forty men on a run, and just in the rear
of them seventy-five army troopers. I
saw the men before any one else in camp.
Indeed, they were not pistol shot away
when the alarm was given. It was the
quickest and bloodiest fight on record.
Six of the dismounted men pushed
straight for me, knowing I was likely to
be killed by some savage, and I was cut
loose and a revolver was given to me be¬
fore the fight was hardly on. In ten
minutes not a living buck was left in the
camp. We killed twenty-two, and the
rest broke out of reach. Seven or eight
old men, nine or ten young fellows and
six squaws were likewise killed. We
captured ninety-two ponies, a great lot of
powder and lead, several hundred dollars’
worth of robes and dealt tbe tribe a blow
it never recovered from. What we could
not carry away we burned, and not an
article they could make useful was left.

A perfect avalanche of operetta has fallen
upon the unfortunate city of Vienna. More
than thirty works of that order are awaiting
a hearing. This concourse of small music
has resulted in owe curious circumstance, for
three authors have chosen the same subject,

great agony.

A COUNTRY THANKSGIVING.
Harvest is home. The bins are full,
The barns are running o’er;
Both grains anti fruits we’ve garnered in
Till we’ve no space for more.
We’ve worked and toiled through heat and co£d,
To plant, to sow*, to reap;
And now for all this bounteous store
Let us Thanksgiving keep.

The nuts have ripened on the trees,
The golden pumpkins round
Have yielded to our industry
Their wealth from out the ground. 3S
The cattle lowing in the fields,
The horses in their stalls,
The sheep and fowls all gave increase.
Until our very walls
Are bending out with God’s good gifts.
And now the day is here
When we should show the Giver that
We hold those mercies dear.
We take our lives, our joys, our wealth, _
Unthanking every day;
If we deserve or we do not,
The sun it shines alway. - m *
So in this life of daily toil.
That leaves short time to prgty,
With brimming hearts all humbly keep
One true Thanksgiving Day.
And if there he some sorrowing ones, .s
Less favored than we are, i
A generous gift to them, I think,
la just as good as prayer.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered

to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is

wonderful things in existence. It is
easily put out of order.
Greasy food,tough food,sloppy food
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
rregular habits, an d may other
things which ought not to be, have
made the American people a nation
of dispepsia.
