a look of admiration was cast at the
pretty girl in the chip hat, whose ro
mantic connection with the race had
increased the spectators’ interest in it
a hundred fold
And of its grandpa.
And its grandpa escaped to the
smoking car.
The baby’s papa then seized the baby,
declaring his intention of throwing it off
the back platform and upon the adja-
l’hlladelphia Times.
1 was spending the summer of 1SS- in
the village of Waterford on one of the
arms of the Sound, putting in my time
fishing and sailing, trying to build up a
particularly bad visitation of typhoid
fever. The town—there is no use
looking on the map; I have not called
it by its right name—was in a great
measure supported by boarders in the
summer season, while the rest of the
year it was, so to speak, turned out to
grass and had to dig its provender from
the sad sea waves or in any other man
ner possible.
One morning, on our way back from
the post-office, I strayed out of my
usual course, and while idly lounging
along, smoking my pipe, came to the
graveyard.
It was shady and green, so I conclud
ed to pass through and avoid the sun.
While walking along the principal path
a peculiarly shaped headstone attracted
my attention. It bore the inscription,
“Henry Gordon, aged 18, died July 4,
188-,”'followed by a two-line epitaph.
Ordinary enough, you will say. Yes,
but the epitaph was so unusual that,
coupled with the date, July 4, it made
me curious to know why it was applied
to the young man, or rather what had
been the history of the young man.
Accordingly I hunted up Old Joe, the
boatman with whom I generally went
fishing. I found him doing some trifling
repair work on his little cat-boat.
“I say, Joe, is there wind enough for
a sail?”
“Mornin’, sir. Why, yes, if we don’t
go too far; the wind’s to the west’ard,
you see, and will go down before the
sun, most likely.”
“Oh, I only want to go for a couple
of hours. Suppose we sail up to New
Hope and back.”
“All right, sir, get aboard,” replied
Joe, and in a few minutes the little
boat was dashing along through the
bright water with a fine beam wind and
under whole sail.
“Joe,” said I, “who was Ilenry Gor
don, and what’s the meaning of the—?”
“Did you never hear tell of Harry
Gordon and how he died?” interrupted
Joe.
“No,” saidJ, “spin the yarn for me;
I’m getting very curious to learn who
the poor fellow was.”
Accordingly, knocking the ashes.from
his pipe, old Joe began. But it would
be tiresome to repeat it word for word.
I’ll retell the story in my own way.
Of course, among the fast boats own
ed in Waterford there was a champion,
a queen of the fleet, as it were, and this
boat was the Nettle, Harry Gordon
owner. She was 20 feet long and rigged
as a jib and mainsail; she was open
and provided with seats for the accom
modation of passengers, the carrying
of sailing and fishing parties being the
principal business in summer. Harry
thought the world of his boat, and be
ing extremely proud of her speed, was
always ready for a race.
Up at New Hope, too, they had a
brag boat the same size of the Nettle,
called the Fashion, and of course there
was considerable rivalry between the
respective owners and their friends.
The boats had had numerous scrub
races, but as neither could claim any
decided advantage in the result the
question as to which was the fastest
remained in doubt.
Finally, from having so much talk
on the subject the summer visitors at
each place—for New Hope, too, sported
a hotel and several boarding houses—
got to taking sides with their respective
boats and a grand race was decided on
as the only way to settle the matter.
There wtis still another matter between
the two young captains, for neither of
them was over eighteen years of age.
Both had set their affections upon the
same young girl, as boys will do, pretty
Jessie Gray; but she, coy lass, was un
able to decide which she liked best,
though each boy thought that if he was
the lucky winner of the race he would
probably also win a prize worthusailing
fof.
Old Farmer Gray himself said there
was little to choose between Jack Nor
ton (of the Fashion) and Harry, but
kept telling Jessie to “be sweethearts”
with one of the boys and put them
both out of doubt. As she, however,
could not, or would not, make up her
mind, he declared that whoever brought
his boat over the line first in the great
race should have his daughter when old
enough; for the old man had been a
sailor himself and was still no mean
hand at the tiller.
The long-expected day at length ar
rived, bringing with it a bright sun and
#u brisk southwest breeze, making it a
dead beat out to the bupy, which was
placed eight miles away, so as to “give
’em plenty of chance to sail,” as one of
t he race committee said.
This made a course of sixteen miles
to be sailed, half of which was to wind
ward and the finishing half before the
wind. Eleven o’clock was the hour set
lor the start, but long before that time
spectators began to arrive in every sort
of conveyance, while schooners, sloops
and cat-boats were all filled with holi
day excursionists, dressed in all man
ner of costumes, from the swell with
hi< little plug hat to the barefooted
seaside urchin. Old Mr. Gray and Jes
sie, you may be sure, were in a good
The baby’s mamma evidently placed
no confidence in the threat of the
for be- ■ baby’s papa. She leaned back with a
sigh of relief and ate a banana.
But there was a desperate, danger
ous light in papa’s eyes, as he picked
his way between the jerks of the car.
He was gone about five minutes. He
returned alone, The desperate light
was gone from his eyes and he looked
sheepish.
As soon as the baby’s mamma saw
him she detected the baby’s absence.
She detected the guilty look he'
brought back with him.
And she remembered his threat.
He had said ae would hurl his off
spring from the rear platform.
She sprang
“Where is
Mamma’s face blanched,
up excitedly.
“The baby!” sie' gasped
the baby?”
“I-I—” began :he papa again.
He certainly looked guilty. The
passengers gathered around to prevent
the escape of tie monster—the man
who threw his lrst-born from a rapid
ly moving railway car.
“Oh, John Hlnry,” shrieked the
poor mother, “wlere is my baby?”
This time she vaited for a reply, and
he confessed.
“I left it with alady in the backseat
who said she could quiet it.”
Silence reigned for three minutes,
and nothing was ieard but the mock
ing rails of the tnck.
Then the baby b-oke loose again.
And now all the preliminaries having cent landscape, and started for the
been arranged the boats were ordered j rear of the car.
to take position to leeward of the start
ing line and there await the signal to
| cross. It was a beautiful sight,
sides the t wo contestants some twenty j
other craft were dashing backward and j
forward, or lying with their jib-sheets j
hauled to windward, while the Aettle |
and the Fashion were each trying for j
the weather guage.
Bang!
It was the starting gun, and like race
horses tiie boats dashed up to the
starting line, the Fashion a couple of
lengths ahead but hotly pursued by her
rivaj, the crews of eacli boat lying flat
on deck to windward, each with his
pair of sand bags under his breast, and
only the two captains erect, with their
tillers in their grasp-and their eyes fix
ed on the luffs of their sails. The ac
companying fleet was soon left astern,
but the occupants of the boats took it
out in cheering their respective cham
pions.
There was little change in the posi
tion of the racers until they neared the
turning buoy, sometimes one having a
slight advantage and sometimes the
other, so nearly were they matched and
so skillfully were they handled. Just
here, however, the Nettle obtained a
fresh puff of wind, and was enabled to
round the mark a full half minute
ahead of the rival.
“Startmain sheet! Up centre board!”
shouted Harry; “hook on your spinna
ker and set it lively, lads; belay aft,
all!” and the trim boat, under a press
of canvass, dashed aside the water as
though she knew her owner’s happiness
depended on her heels. The Fashion
had also come around and set her spin
naker, but the Nettle had now a good
start and “a stern chase is a long
chase.”
Meanwhile the excursion craft had
gotten under way and was coming
down to meet the racers. You may
imagine that everybody was excited
at the prospect of a close race, and as
the boats came nearer it could not be
told which was in the lead. Suddenly
a shout from a Waterford man, who
had a telescope, “Nettle’s ahead !”
was followed by the whoops and
cheers of her admirers.
On they came like great white-wing
ed birds, and iioav they were within
two hundred yards of the line, when
something occurred that turned a holi
day scene into one of danger, death
and mourning. A small sloop, whose
excited passengers had crowded over
to the lee side to have a better view of
the race, suddenly capsized and more
than twenty people, mostly women
and children, were thrown into the
water. The sloop chanced to be rather
apart from the rest of the fleet, and
Harry seeing that instant action was
necessary in order to prevent loss of
life, threw up his chances of winning
and gave orders to take in the spinna
ker. As the big sail came in his helm
went down, and the Nettle, rounding
into the wind, shot up alongside the
upset boat. He and his crew worked
nobly, and the struggling victims were
saved. All! No, not quite, for one of
the rescued women suddenly discover
ed that the bundle in her arms contain
ed not her baby, as she supposed, but
only a cushion from the cabin wrapped
in a shawl, and her child was still in
the fast sinking sloop.
“Oh! my baby! my baby!” screamed
the poor mother. “"Will no one get my
baby ? Is there no one here who can
get my child?”
“I will try,” cried Harry, springing
into the water. The brave fellow div
ed into the cabin, now nearly full of
water, when, suddenly the air in the
vessel escaped with a rush and the bal
last carried her down like a stone.

1 have been suffering for most thirty years
with ami itching and burning all over my
lace ami body. 1 took eighteen bottles 01 oue
blood medicine and it did me no good. I com-
mencod last January to nee B. B. B.. and al-
ter using live bottles I felt stouter and better
than I have in thirty years, my health is bet
ter, and 1 weigh more than I ever did. the
itching has nearly ceased.and I am confident
that a few more bottles of B. B. B. will cure
me entirely. Iam sixty-two years old now
and can do a good day’s work in my field. I
consider B. B. B. the best blood purifier that I
have ever seen, for it certainly did me more
good than all the medicine I have ever taken.
I had, in all, nearly a hundred risings on my
face, neck and body. James Pinkerton.
2 BOTTLES CURE RHEUMATISM.
Houghton, Ark., June 4.18S7.
I cheerfully state the following facts- in re
gard to the use of your medicine in my family.
Mv little son, IT years of age, suffered from an
acute attack of rheumatism,caused by undue
exposure and chilling of the blood. I heard
your remedy highly recommended, and pur
chased a bottle from Moncrief A Bro., Pres
cott, Ark. In about one month, after using
this bottle he became so much better that I
got the second bottle, which is now being us
ed, and my son is nearly well, and I think by
removing him to a cooler summer climate
(which Twill do) and continuing its use, a
perfect cure-will be effected. I consider B.B.
B. a most excellent blood purifier.

Mr. Cleveland can well afford to be a
little superstitious about the name Dan
iel. Daniel Lockwood has heretofore
placed him in nomination for every of
fice he has held. Daniel Manning
managed his campaign, and was a
strong member of a strong cabinet.
Daniel Lamont is liis invaluable pri
vate secretary. Now Daniel Dougherty
has renominated him. The word Dan
iel signifies “judgment of God,” and
very appropriate it is.
“The quick resuscitation of the
South,” says the New York Herald, “is
the economic wonder oi the age. In a
single generation it has done the work
of a century. Instead of moping and
sulking over its fallen fortunes, it gath

mer prosperity, explored fresh fields of
commercial enterprise, and threw into
the new regime the same earnestness
with which it defended the old.”
A young man must stick himself to
business with the glue of industry.
A man of integrity will never listen
to any reason against conscience.
When the vessel was raised the baby
was found in Harry’s arms, its little
hands clasped around his neck, and its
golden hair mingling with the darker
locks of the young sailor.

An Awful Tragedy.
Pittsburg Chronicle.
There was a baby on board the train
yesterday from Pittsburg’to Wheeling.
It was a baby with a big B.
The baby had its mother along.
And its papa.
Likewise its grandfather.
And it needed a few hundred more
relatives.
The baby was very good for nine
miles and a half.
Its papa was proud of it. He gazed
complacently around the car as though
he would say:
“That’s my baby! Don’t you all
envy me ?”.
Its mamma shared its papa’s pride.
And its grandpa absorbed what was
left.
Presently the baby improvised a cir

It howled.
Then it yelled.
Then it howled and yelled
more.
And refused to be comforted.

To produce anything like an approach to our now justly celebrated Blood Remedy, B. B. B., we make bold to
claim the following special points of value and advantage over any other remedy on the market: 1. That it consists
of the most valuable remedies known to the medical profession. 2. That the combination of- the remedies has never
bp pn equaled'in any medicine that has ever been known. 3. Its beneficial results can be felt sooner than by the use of
nnv other remedy. 4. It takes less quantity and less money to produce a cure than any other remedy, lie are
willing for B B B to stand on its own merits,, and as our words are unnecessary in proving its efficiency as a blood
uinedv we simply invite a careful perusal of the following voluntary certificates from the thousands who have tried it,
They fire eloquent tributes, and speak for themselves. To the skeptical, we would further say : Inquire of your

A REMARKABLE LETTER.
Down Two Years With Rheumatism
and Mow Entirely Well.
I ha% r e been troubled %vith rheumatism for
two years; bad gotten so I could scarcely
walk, and was in pai n nearly all the time. At
ni<dit could not sleep for the excruciating
pain. The bone in one of my legs was very
much enlarged, and I feared that amputation
would be necessary. After trying many dn-
ferent patent medicines claiming to cure
rheumatism and other complaints, I was al
most. discouraged until about two weeks ago,
when I had to give up business, Mr. W. J.
Willingham, of your city, hearing of my com-
uJviwti ii.cuscuij-oui lueuicme, and
assured me of his confidence in it as a cure
for rheumatism. I at once purchased a bot
tle. hoping it might relieve me, but not having
much faith in it, or in anything else; but,
thank God, I am very muen relieved, and I
firmly believe I will get entirely well. The
swelling has gone down and I am in no pain
whatever. Am at work again, and have been
for several days. Can run up and down the
stairwav in factory as nimbly as ever. I
thank you for this- earthly salvation to me.
I write without your solicitation, or any
knowledge of you, except through your med
icine. I write because I feel grateful for what
has been done for me. I am yours, very
truly, W. A. Moore,
Foreman for Willingham Lumber Co.,

June 20,1887.—Blood Balm Co. Atlanta, Ga.—
Sir: I have been thinking of writing to yon
for some time to let you know of the wonder
ful cure your B. B. B. has effected on myself
and daughter. She, a girl of 16 years, was
taken with a very sore leg below the knee. I
used aoout 30 bottles .of other medicine to no
purpose. The doctors said the only remedy
left was amputation. That we all were op
posed to. I %vas in Knoxville the 8th of Jan
uary, 1887, and while buying a bill of drugs
called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs.
Sanford, Chamberland A Co. recommended
the B. B. B. I purchased one-Jialf dozen bot
tles, and, to my utter surprise, after using
ttiree or rour Dottles, my girl’s leg was entire
ly well. I also had a very ugly running sore
on the calf ol my leg and one bottle cured it,
after trying all other remedies. I wish you
much success, and I do hope that all suffering
humanity may hear and believe in the only
true blood purifier. I have tried threeor four
blood purifiers, but the B.B.B. is the only one
that ever did me or mine any good. You can
use my name if you wish. I am well known-
in this and Washington county, also all over
Yirgiuia. R. S. Elsom.
BLOOM TAINT FROM BIRTH.
Booneville, Ind., January 27, 1887.
I shall ever praise the day that you gentle
men were born, and shall bless the day that
your medicine was known to me. I had blood
poison from birth, and so much so that all
the doctors of my to%vn said 1 would be crip
pled for life. They said I would lose my lo%v-
er limb. Tcould not stand in my class to re
cite my lessons, and eleven bottles of your
Balm cured me sound and well. You can use
my name as you see fit. Iu my case there
were knots on my shinbones as large as a
hen’s egg. Yours, Mirtle M. Tanner.
A GOOD EXPERIMENT.
Meridian, Miss., July 12, 1887.
For a number of years I have suffered un
told agonies from the effects of blood poison.
I had my case treated by several prominent
physicians, and recived but little, it any relief.
I resorted to all sorts of patent medicines,
spendinga large amount of money hut getting
no bet ter. My attention was attracted by ihe
cures said to have been effected by B. B. B.,
and I began taking it merely as a experiment-
having but little faith in the ultimate results.
To my utter surprise I soon commenced to
improve, and deem myself to-day a well and
hearty man—ail owing to the excellent, qual
ities of B. B. B. I cannot commend it too
highly to those suffering from blood poison

IT REMOVED THE PIMPLES.
I have been a practical druggist in Tyler for
a number of years, and in that time have had
occasion to examine, tty, and notice the effect
of nearly all the highly recommended prepar-
, ationsor patent medicines on the market, as
I hsve suffered untold misery myself, the past
number of years, from a severe form ot in
flammatory rheumatism, and could find
nothing to cure or relieve me. I had almost
drawn a conclusion that all patent medicines
were more or less frauds until about one year
ago, I was induced by a friend now living in
Tyler to try a preparation known as 3 B., or
botanic Blood Balm, and after a long per
suasion on his part, I finally made up my
mind to make one more effort to rid myself
of the terrible affliction; and now it affords
me the greatest pleasure of my liie to state to
the citizens of Smith county that I am entire-
ly cared, with no traces of the disease left,
and all effected by the magic healing proper
ties of B. B. B.. which I consider the grand-
est, purest, and most powerful blood remedy
known to man. I have been subject to in
flammatory attacks since ten years of age,
and up to the present time have hstd four.
The last spell came on me in November, ISso,
over a year ago, at which ime I was confined
to my bed for eight weeks, passing the nights
in misery, with no sleep except wlien produc
ed by narcotics and various opiates. The
week previous to using B. B. B. up to that
time I had only eaten six meals and could
scarcely sit up without support; but after us
ing three bottles I was able to relish my
meals and to -walk up town, and after six bot
tles had been used, thank heaven, I was en
tirely cured, and not the slightest pain felt
since that time. When I returned to business
in February my weight %vas 115 pounds, but
Gradually, increased until my regular weight
was again aitained, 210 pounds. The noticea
ble fact in %vhat I have so cheerfully stated is,
that this unparalleled and remarkable dis
covery B. B. B. cured me in mid-winter, at
the very time my sufferings and misery were
the greatest. I take it on myself as a practi
cal druggist to heartily, cheerfully, as well as
conscientiously, recommend this glorious
blood remedy to all suflerers from rheuma
tism or blood troubles, and not only myse’f,
but the firm of McKay & Adams, who handle
it will cheerlully indorse its superior merits.

A lady friend of mine nas for several years
been troubled with bumps and pimples on her
face and neck, for which she used various
cosmetics in order to remove theffi and beau
tify and improve her complexion; but these
local applications were only temporary and
left her skin in a worse condition.
I recommended an internal application—
known as Botanic Blood Balm—which I have
been using and selling about two years; she
used three bottles and nearly all pimples
have disappeared, her skin is soft and smooth
and her general health much improved. She
expresses herself as well satisfied and can
recommend it to all who are thus affected.

‘I GAVE UP TO DIE.
Knoxville, Tenn., July 2, 1887.
I have had catarrh of the head for nearly
six years. I went to a noted doctor and he
treated me for it, but could not cure me, he
said. I was over fitly years of age and I gave
up to die. I had a distressing cough ; rny
eyes %vere s%\’ollen and I am confident I could
not have lived without a change. I sent and
got a bottle of your medicine, used it, and
felt better. Then I got four more, and thank
God! it cured me. Use this any way you
may wish for the good of sufferers.

This is to certify that my wife has been in
bad health for eight years. After trying five
doctors and six or seven different patent
medicines, six bottles of your B. B. B. has
cured her. James W. Lancaster.

Company, Atlanta, Ga.—Gentlemen : I had >
suffered from that terrible disease, dyspepsia
for over fifteen years, and during that
time tried everything I could hear of, and
spent over three hundred dollars in doctor’s
bills, without receiving the slightest benefit,
Indeed, I continued to grow worse. Finally,
after I despaired of obtaining relief, a friend
recommended; B. B. B., (Botanic Blood Balm)
and I began using it; not, however, expecting
to be benefited. After using half a Bottle I
was satisfied I was being benefited, and when
tbe sixth bottle was used I felt like a new
man. I would not take $1,000 for the good it
has done me; in fact, the relief that I derived
from it is priceless. I firmly believe I would
have died had I not taken it.
Respectfully, THOMAS PAULK.
