5- The Knifejot Needed. ’ I
A MASSACHUSETTS TOWN HEARS
AND WONDERS.
"VVlx*t ■ Miracle was There! Twisted
Limbs and a Crooked Neck
Straightened.
(From the Taunton, Man., Gazette.}
Over in the town of Wrenthano, Mnsn.,
everyone is agog with excitement. A child
who had been physically deformed for four
years, and who was the object of the pity of
the entire town, lias hud her limbs straight
ened out, her head again made erect by the 1
straightening of her neck, and is running \
about town now with the freedom and abu:.-
doa of any child.
MaryS. Fuller is the name of the little ;
ctfpple. Many of our readers will remem
ber her. She is but a child of eight years,
and has spent the past four years in bed, |
hoj>clcssly crippled. Khsumatic fever four I
wars ago attacked the nervis and cords of I
her lower limbs and neck, so that the former
were drawn all out of shape and twisted and I
b**ht backwards in a pitiable manner; and
the enrdi of the latter were no tightened on
one side as to draw her head down on her [
s.iotilder. Iler arms, too, were heljde's, and
neighbor’s hearts bled at the little one’s suf
fering. The progress of the disease redui d
li'T to a skeleton, and the poor mother has
almost given herown life for that of the child,
in her untiring watching nt the little one’s
bedside. Four years of watching! four years
of waiting! and at last the child began to
mend, her cords relaxed, her nervous system
gathered strength and power, and to-day, 113
slated above, she is running about the t’< wn
» vigorous and happy child. Wrentham re
joices, physicians applaud, nnd new methods
■ Ht"Rlgy'• treatments have been successfully
vmdicati'd. formerly the surgeon would
have been cfrtled on in this case to .straighten
the limbs. Now the idea is to work in har
mony with nature so far as possible, tnd to
this end remedies are employed which assist
nature, supplying to the weakened parts the
chemical properties they need. For instance,
in the above case, Dr. Williams’ Fink Fills
for Pale People were used, and effected the
cure easily and naturally.
The mother of the child said: “She had
been given up bj’ four doctors, who were cer
tain that they could not cure her. Why, she
couldn’t open her mouth, and I actually had
to force the food into it. Her mouth was nil
•ores, nnd, oh dear, what a looking child she
was, and such a care! Nobody but myself
knows what a trial we both havebecn through
for she was too young to realize it. If my
statement will do anybody any good I shall
be glad to have it published, and if time
who read it will only come to me if they are
skeptical, f can convince them in very little
time that T know what I am talking about.
People around here say it was a miracle, and I
believe it wns.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shattered nerves

THE OH ATTOOGA NEWS.
The Signal Herns of the Nogalee. i
in the place of honor a
bove my fifophtce, there rests a
viniili-rep'-atiiig shotgun.
All the day I had jogged across i
lfl:<! loot-onio levels of the wide
! divide, my cow pony shufiliug
• wiflly along at the easy fox-trot
I his kind; and at sundown, I
rode in to the head spring of the
j S<,uth Nogales: the‘’Oja de las
! I’icdras Pintas.”
The spring boils freshly out at |
I tlio foot of a gray lime stone bltifl'.
■ I pon the face of the rock one mav
■yt see traces of the old Indian
i sign-painting, from which the
place take its name.
About the rock basin were fresh
tracks and a spill of water dripped
!roin the edge of it.
Mindful of the scant comfort in
my saddle bags and of the good
fellowship of travelers in the land
where hearts are warm, I made
way down the stream, whistling as
for a wagi r. It is not etiquette in
the dry country to slip upon a
stranger’s camp without fair no
tice.
In the camp were a couple of
horse traders with a herd from Old
.Mexico for the up-country. A
gr at supper we had of a wild tur
key linked in their dutch oven.
During the inevitable talk of
stock, while the fire burned to
coals, it camo out that the drovers
had S‘ 0n that day, along with a
bunch of the half wild mares of
the country, one of the two horses
1 had lost some weeks before.
Os the two horses one wasabalf
bred Morgan, a famous stayer af
ter antelope; the other a small but
very tidy Mexican pony. It was
tlio pony the boys had noticed.
Next morning, after helping my
hosts at tlio starting of their herd,
I followed the trail down the river
in search of a settlement where I
might hear more of the missing
horses.
The land of the Nogales Canons
—a wilderness of wild divide scar
rod by the deep rents of timber
choked ravines, and b’otched over
with dark cover of impenetrable
cedar brake —is known abroad as
one of the few “Hell’s Nests” of
desperadoes that still blot the fair
land of Texas; yet one may travel
through there well enough if not
inquisitive, nor over well mounted.
I thought to offer a reward that
would produce the better horse, if
these villains had him.
The first settlement a’ong the
jrail was in a little cove; the bluff
abutting upon the river, above and
below. A straggling cornfield slo
ped up to the house, and the sole
approach was byway cf fording
the stream in full view, and cross
ing the cornfield a-foot.
The rough cabin stood huddled
in against the bluff, as dill'martins
build their nests, and about the
door of it some men were lounging.
As I approached, they moved
off with a beautiful unconcern to
the wood-pile. Not for ten leagues
of watered grazing land would I
have looked inside that door.
1 got no end of information a
bout the pony-
A sort of ease settled over the
crew as 1 made known my busi
ness speaking the vernacular, r.s
is best the world over if one have
tht> twang of it; but, when I called
over the pony's marks a second
time to bo sure of his identity, and
purposely named among them the
brand of the larger horse, each
man shifted his weight to the oth
er leg. They hadn't noticed that
brand on the pony nor, on further
inquiry, had they seen it on any
other horse.
There had been a peering of wo
men about the half open door dat
ing all this talk. Just then there
came a sound as • f a bench falling
within and the shrill yelping of a
dog in pain. In a moment the
heavy door swung back and a gin
came <ut bearing in her arms a
little whimpering pelon dog.
Very good for la rumicatica, or
for chilled feet is peloncito, say
theuld Mexican women. The lit
tle hairless beggars feel in bod,
much as a Dve rubber .bottle of
warm water. On the whole I'd
choose the rheumatism —or a hot
nxldy.
SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, MaY 6, 1896
The girl carried the dog to the
oldest of the men. % There was a
■straightness and a simple dignity
about her bearing tbfit harmonized
with the tall gray bluff above us,
and I gazed at her fine face in
wonder.
“Oh I’aw,” she grieved, nursing
the dog’s leg, “look yere.”
Iho man pulled one hand from
its pocket and fumbled the leg j
with a roughness that sot the dog !
yelping till the rocks rang. The
girl struck down his hand and
drew back : “Paw,” she cried, he
eyes flashing through tears, “You’re
mean ! I might ’a know’d it!”
The man grinned. “Waal.” he
said conclusively, “hit’s broke.”
One of the younger mon picked
up an axe; “Reckon I Letter chop
hit off Tenny,” he said, “the
worms'll git to hit that a-way.”
“A aas,” blazed the girl, “I see
yer!”
It was all a small matter but
she looked so heroic over it that 1
couldn’t help taking a hand.
“Sis,” said I, “Es you’ll git mt 4
a rag, I'll fix hit so’s bit’ll grow
right-”
The mon all stared at me in as
tonishment; looked altogether at
“I’aw;” turned their heads and
spat in unison.
The girl brought cloths and
kneeling by her I soon had the
broken leg nicely set and splinted ;
the men and some women and
children from the house looking
on stolidly.
The bandage fastened, I looked
steadily in her face from under
the brim of my sombrero as I said,
“Leave it there till he gnaws it
off.” Iler eyes were big meaning
and I quickly added in a whisper,
without a movement of the lips,
“Where’s my horse?”
The pupil of her eye narrowed
instantly to a point, then spread
wide with intelligence; the muscles
of her face were motionless but I
had seen enough. 1 rose to my
feet, h aving the girl to scramble
up as best she might. To have of
fered my hand would have been
an audacity so unprecedented as
to have caused the pulling of every
gun in her crowd.
I asked for some further direc
tions, as to finding the pony, an
nounced the reward for tlio horse,
and marched off through the strag
gling corn, a queer crinkling run
ning upffny back, and in my mind
a story told me by a freighter, of
a visit of “Billy the Kid” to his
camp. The outlaw was quite
friendly; told frankly who he was,
and asked, most civilly, that but
one the party should leave the
camp-fire at a time and NOT GO ,
BEHIND HIM!
As I swung into the saddle I
looked toward the house. The girl
was standing back from the rest
and as she caught, my eye, raised
her open palm toward me, rocking
the hand sideways from the wrist.
It was the Indian sign, common
among the hunters and cowbays,
of CAUTION.
That day I found the pony, fat
and fit as could be. In the even
ing I rode him about for a while
to take the edge off and at dark
made camp by the spring, building
up the fire until the blaze of it i
showed far down the valley.
Later, I looked over the little re
peater, filled its magazines with
buckshot cartridges, and tried the
working of my six-shooter. Then,
stowing my traps ready for an in
stant saddling. I moved out to the
opening where the horses were sta
i ked.
I After changing them to fresh
i grass. I spread my blankets by the
■ stake-pin of the pony in the slaut-
Img light of the rising moon, and
turned in to wait at e? se, thinking
rather wistfully of the military
post in the open valley far below
and rather dubiously of the law
less settlers along the canon: of
their cohesiveness; of their wari
ness, and of their far famed signal
horns.
Long after midnight, as I lay
dozing, I heard the low call of a
cat owl; I whistled a cautious ans-
I
i wer and the girl Tenny stepped out
1 from the brush into the brilliant
i moonlight.
“Stranger!” she said abruptly,
“Paw - stol'd your horse; he's hid
down yander in the ’equite flat;
I’ll show him to yeh.”
“But can't you tell me how to
find him? I asked, a great pity I
for her coming over me as I look
ed into hot noble face, and thought !
of the crew she belonged to, “They
might miss you at the house
and 1 hesitated .
“I don’t kcer,” she said reckless
ly, a stronger excitement bracing
the awkward stilt of her voice,
“they'll see my tracks yero any
way.” And then, coming closer,
and reading my face with her
child-like eyes. “Stranger, be you
a good man? Yeh LOOK like a
good man, Stranger.”
Was I? God knows. I answer
ed, “I hope so.”
“Is you all’s Paw and Maw
good?”
“My father’s dead, child, but my
mother—yes, she’s all good.”
“My own’s all bad,” she wailed,
“Paw’s fearful; he steals always,
’n Maw cusses ’n gits drunk ’n
beats the children, ’n Jim’s killed
his man, ’n France,” her voice
sank, “he’s killed two ’n bin hid (
out more’n a year.
“Stranger!” Iler hands were
clasping at my arm and she plead
with ail tlio abandon of a little
child. “I want to go whar folks
is good. Take mo out’n hyere.
Hit’s hell hyere, Stranger!”
Well, my work was cut out for
me. I lashed a blanket for the
girl upon the fat pony, rigging
rope stirrups and bridle, and leav
ing all useless weight, saddled the
hoise I had been riding for myself.
“Tenny,” said I, “wo must have
that other horse; this one is jaded.”
Crossing the stream wo rode
down the flat, threading our way
through the mesquites.
As we found the horse staked a
mong the trees, the pony recogniz
ed Lis mate tnd whinnied lo'udly.
Y flight of the over-meddling kill
deer-plover rose near at hand with
sbrrl cries and on tho instant the
hounds at the house bayed.
Hastily changing the saddle I
told Toniiy T to lead straight for the
road. I had scarcely mounted
when a horn sounded at the house.
As we turned into the road the
next signal—from far down the
valley—camo b?ck to us, and soon
another and another, farther and
fainter: THE SIGNAL HORNS
OF THE NOGALES.
Setting our horses to a swinging
canter we rode in silence. Pres
ently there came echoing behind
us the sharp clatter of horses hoofs.
Hard riding now would be worse
than useless: I must stop our
pursuers short, before we reached
the next house AND THE NEXT
HORN.
Tenny’ turned her white face to
ward me in the moonlight, the
strained quiet of her voice break
ing as she spoke:
“They only got two horses up:
Kain’t you stop’m ’thout killin’
’em?” '
“Slade of Don Quixote!”
thought I, “What nevt?”
Working the buckshot cartridges
out of the magazine of my’ gun, I
replaced them with shells loaded
for small game.
I had made some famous plays
, with the little gun among the thick
I springing quail and I thought I
I could do the trick: IF not, there
| would still be my’ six-shooter.
I posted Tenny, and tossing h< r
' my’ bridle rein, swung to the ground |
as we galloped around a bend
where the road crowded through i
. between the rocky creek-bed and
■ the canon wall.
In a moment they were upon me
j "Paw" and a man I had not seen
j before, riaing hotly after the ring
of our horse's galloping.
Stepping out into the clear moon
light. well ahead cf them, I sent a
blaze over their heads. Their
horses swayed and lurched as they
ploughed the ground under the
strain of the heavy curbs. The ol
der man reined his horse with one
hand as the other flew back to his
gun I cut his arm down at the el
bow.
The younger man, crouched over
the far side of his horse, threw his
pistol across the saddle and fir e
as my spray of fine shot tore t h
j weapon from bis hand. The bal
scorched through my left arm and '
side; but the muscles worked true
as I swung the gun back on the
other.
These folk know no fear. The
old villain had his bridle-rein in
his teeth, his trained pony quiver
ing in his tracks, and was drawing
his six-shooter with the left hand.
As I fired again he dropped the
gun, whirled his horse with a swing
of the body, and lied. I put a
charge into the young taan’s left
arm as he turned and emptied the
gun at their horses haunches.
Crippled as they were, I felt safe
for a long start before they could
stop their frantic horses.
Tenny’ came galloping back at
this and her eyes were big with
wonder as her routed kinsman dis
appeared. I mounted rather stilly
and we galloped on. In a few mo
ments Tenny’ whistled a shrill sig
nal, and a house loomed beside the
way,
“The Rangers is up the canon !”
lied Tenny, bravely, “Blow for the
road for us!”
Tho horn rang out a peculiar
clear staccato—tho signal for
friends—then followed tlio long
drawn booming roar of the danger
call, rolling down between the can
on walls, taken up and dying till
the furthest blasts mingled with
tho pearest echoes.
Sd wo rode, and so it passed at
each house. Tho ring and tho roar
of these horns stayed by me for
many weary’ weeks.
“When the first glimmering of
dawn came mixing warmly through
the white brilliance of the moon
ight, we rode out upon the open
prairie where tho gash Os tho can
on cuts through the walls of the
wide valley of the main river. As
we came clear of that gate of death,
a horn, far up the canon, sounded
a new signal.
“They’re too late!” cried Tenny,
“That horn says strip us. These
folks down here don’t blow no
horns.”
Then the reaction camo and,
weakened by the pain of my wound
I swayed dizzily 7 in the saddle.
“Hang to her, Stranger?” cheer
ed Tenny, “Hit ain’t fur now; es
yeh weaken squall, ’n I’ll ride be
hind yer cantlo ’n hold yeh on !*’
Silently I passed her tho gun,
and drooping sideways, eased my
self with hands on pommel and on
cantie. Every race horse in the
canon would be on our trail and
they would shoot us down any
where outside the garrison walls.
I can see the dizzy slide yet of
the hard gray road as it swam past
beneath my drooping eyes. I had
all but given up when Tenny
spoke: “Thar they’ come! ’n thar’s
the Fort!”
“Tenny 7 ,” I gasped, “I’m done!”
She crowded her pony against my
horse and swung up behind me.
As I felt tho clasp of her strong
young arms, I fainted .
They say the bullets were rat
tling thick and. fast about us as we
galloped into sight. The guard
had turned out at the sound of the
first shots, and so hot was tho fire
of our pursuers that the long roll
was beating and tho troops forming |
on the parade-ground as that great
horse bore us in through the gates
with the pony 7 galloping alongside.
Tennessee, at my elbow 7 , says,
“Tell them that its Heaven here.”

How to Treat, a Wife.
From Pacific Health Journal.
First, get a wife; second, bo pa
tient. You may have great trials
and perplexities in your business,
but do not therefore, carry to your
home a cloudy 7 or contracted brow.
Your wife may have trials, which,
though of less magnitude, may bo
hard for her to bear. A kind word,
a tender look, will do wonders in
chasing from her brow all clouds
of gloom. —To this we would add
always keep a bottle of Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy in the house.
It is the best and is sure to be’
needed sooner or later. Your wife
will then know that you really care
for her and wish to protect her

A SOCIAL SIGN OF THE TIME
The Tide is Turning Against the
Women’s ‘‘Enlarged Privi
leges” Movement.
In the May Ladies’ Homo Jour
nal Edward W. Bok editorially
discusses Mrs. Julia Ward Howe’s
recent utterances in regard to ex
isting social conditions, or, more
definitely stated, to the effects
upon society of woman’s exercise
of “enlarged privileges.” Mrs.
Howe concedes, that the manners
of polite society today are not
quite so polite as they were in her
youth, that young women are los
ing in tone and culture and digni
ty, and young men in esteem and
deference for women, with the re
sult of a general cheap-and-easy
standard of manners. Notwith
standing this damage to society
Mrs. Howe believes that superior
external benefits have accrued;
that women are leading nobler and
better lives and filling larger places.
Mr. Bok assents to Mrs. Howe’s
first proposition, but radically dis
sents from her conclusions. “* *
The fact is,” he says, “that women
of every mind are on all sides be
ginning to reckon tho cost of this
‘movement’ for the extension of
their ‘privileges ’ Even those who
were strong adherents in the ‘faith’
at tho beginning are showing signs
of an abatement of enthusiasm.
It is not alone in the circles of
fashion that the poisonous arrows
of woman’s ‘enlarged sphere’ have
entered, but in every grade and
walk of our social life. And, in
each instance, absolute damage
has been done; “ ;,i *
“We need not go so far as to say
that as men and women we are de
teriorating, or that the social struc
ture is in any danger of collapse.
It is not so bad as that. But it is
b;d enough . New ideas have been
interjected into our lives, and they
have brought forth new conditions.
* * A new sense of self-reliance
has been imbibed by women. And
what is the result? Men have ta
citly inferred that women scorn
the sort of consideration which at
ope time they felt was their tribute
to womanhood. Naturally, polite
ness has become lax, tho grace of
homage is often forgotten. Hap
pi y, however, a quiet revulsion of
feeling on this question of the sex
es has slowly become noticeable,
and the opinion is general that
there has come a distinct turn in
the tide. * *
“Fortunately, we have not out
lined tho possibility of a speedy
and healthy return to that hal
cyon condition of things when the
surpassing charm of civilization
was the deference paid by men to
women. Then tho woman was the
superior of man. For a time now'
she has descended to be his equal.
And so let us hope that she soon
will be again upon her old pedes
tal. In the minds of clear-think
ing men she has always been there.”
As the returns come slowdy in it
is found that several Kansas towns
will- be more or less under the
domination of women officials dur
ing the ensuing year. In Ellis, as
in Gaylord, the Mayor and all of
the members of the city council
recently elected are women. Mrs.
Clara Sheldon, who ran for police
judge, was the only woman candi
date defeated. It is understood
she is to be consoled by being ap
pointed City clerk.
His Possessions.
“What did she say of me?” he
asked of the girl to whom ho tells
his secrets.
“She said she thought you were
quite self possessed.”
“Pleasant.”
.! “Yes, only she went on to remark
that you had no property to amount
to anything ind never would have
■ any.”—Detroit Free Press-

For every quarter in a man's
pocket there aro a dozen uses; and
to use each one in such away as
to derive the greatest benefit is a
question every one must solve for
himself. We believe, however,
that no better use could bo made
of ono of those quarters than to
exchange it for a bottle of Cham
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy, a medicine that ev
ery family should bo provided
with. For sale by 11. H. Arring

simply a feeling of comfort ai d
satisfaction. You should not feel
any special indications that diges
