VOL iX 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 They arc for sale by all druggists, or msv be bad by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.

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.

Cure indigestion ■ biliousness, headache. Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report psjbe 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.
