ULCERATED SORE THROAT.
Two years I had ulcerated sore throat, and was so weakened and reduced in flesh that mV
friends thought it impossible for me to recover. I was attended by the very best physicians, but
their endeavors to relieve me were futile. My mother seeing S.’S. S. so highly recommended
decided to give me a course of it. and after taking the first bottle was greatly relieved; and after
taking several bottlesl was entirely cured. 1 have not had anv signs of a’return oft'he disease

“ Castoria is the Lest remedy for children es

far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful

How a Deadly Insult Was Paid
Without Loss of Blood.
AS USUAL A WOWLX IN IT,
y
Two Captains of the’ Same Regiment
Attempt to Settle a Score That Lin
gered From Their West Point Days
—Particulars of a Duel—The Chal
lenge and the Result.
An emblematic button of the Loyal
Legion adorned the lapel of a cheviot
coat worn by Maj. Oscar Bell at the
Albany.
“A story, eh?” laughed the ex-army
officer, as he detached his eyeglasses from
the bridge of his looked in a
good natured way at t®sA;pectant re
porter seated beside him.
“Well, lemme see. The smoke of
Shiloh is a chestnut now. and the battle
of the Wilderness prAably has been
smothered from f urtherWterest by a pro
fuse growth of weeds. By Jove! I can
give you a little incident that has never
been in type. It happened in 1863, when
our regiment was in camp at a little
Missouri town called Lexington. I wore
a captain's straps at that time and did
the shouting for Company B.
“Thecaptain of Company D wasnamed
Henry Poor. Unknown tJme he detested
me, and all because I once made a pun
on his name while at West Point. Being
a young man of stringent means he was
mortally offended, but later seemed to
have overlooked an unintentional sally
of wit that I got off at his expense among
a group of fellow cadets.
“Well, when we got our commissions
the loaded dice of fate threw us both in
the same regiment, and when the war
broke out we went to the front under the
same colonel. As I said before, our regi
ment camped at Lexington, Mo., near
Kansas City, or Westport, as it was
known in those days. Among the events
that transpired during the two weeks of
our sojourn was a grand ball, given at
the residence of a loyal northern woman,
for Lexington, although a Missouri town,
had great respect for the Confederate
colors, and a great many of its citizens
heartily sympathized with the southern
cause. At the ball several of the officers
of our regiment were invited—Poor and
myself included.
THE CHALLENGE.
“During the evening I placed my name
on the programme of one of the Lexing
ton belles, but when I called for the
danceA was horrifiedagt the discovery
that fay name deliberately
-is- t s^Oind>hatte^^| evi
dently by liimselnvvnen Poor and the
young lady started off amid the seductive
strains of the orchestra my blood fairly
boiled with indignation. Later in the
evening I caught Capt. Poor in the gen
tlemen’s dressing room alone. I slapped
him roughly in the face, and told him
just what I thought of him. He did not
resent it there, but the next day I re
ceived a challenge from him to fight a
duel.
“I had never fought a duel, and I hesi
tated some time, but rather than be ac
cused of cowardice I consented. The
matter was placed in the hands of
friends, and one bright moonlight night
five dark figures sneaked out of the camp
and into a neighboring wood. The fifth
figure was that of a doctor of Lexington,
who had been let into the secret and con
sented to act, in consideration of a big
fee for his services. To every- appear
ance the duel was to be a tragic one, al
though I thought at one time I detected
a slight smirk in the features of the sec
onds, who were mutual friends of the
determined principals.
“ ‘Measure off ten paces,’ commanded
the doctor as he wiped a tiny stream of
Missouri nicotine from his chin whiskers.
The doctor was to act as master of cere
monies. The space was measured.
“ ‘Bring on the weapons,’ was the
next command. The seconds brought
forth an ominous looking bundle care
fully wrapped up in oilcloth. Capt. Poor
shuddered. I was equally nervous. Ugh!
the weapons were evidently wicked sa
bers, and it would be a duel from which
neither principal would emerge alive.
We took our places ten paces apart and
stood glaring at each other, patiently
waiting for the supposed swords to be
placed in our hands ready to pierce each
other’s heart.
the result.
“ ‘Gentlemen, here are the weapons,’
exclaimed the doctor as two large base
ball bats rolled out of the oilcloth. He
advanced and placed one in the hands of
each principal. ‘Mind, gentlemen, you
are not to violate the rule to keep ten
paces apart. Are you ready?
“Capt. Poor and I gazed at each other.
The seconds were doubled up on the
ground in convulsions of laughter. Even
the doctor smiled, and to cap the climax
a silvery laugh from a woman’s lips
broke the stillness of the air as the fair
cause of the duel strode on to the duel
ing ground with eyes sparkling with
mirth.
“ ‘Do be sensible, gentlemen, and
shake hands,’ said she. ‘There is going
to be another party next Tuesday even
ing, and I will divide my programme of
waltzes with you both if you do.’
“I looked at Poor, and we met half
way and shook hands. The ludicrous
contemplation of a duel with baseball
bats at a distance of ten paces was too
much for us. We laughed heartily after
casting a reproachful glance at the mis
chievous seconds who put the job up on
us.”
At this juncture there was a rustle of
satin near the hotel elevator, and the
major arose in response to a signal from
a well preserved lady. As he left the
reporter he said, with a sly wink of his
left eye, “I got that young lady for life,
though, and Poor J? up in the Sioux
voeiatrynow, ana sun a uacneior." wnn
these parting words he disappeared into
the dining room with the wife of his ro
mance.—Denver Republican.
Spider poison appears to have special
effects on certain insects, and the largest
flies are not always the least affected by
it. Insects over which spider poison has

them.
TUbrave DEED.
He Knew the Crowd He Had to Deal
With.
Madly flew the sleigh over the track
less prairies. It needed not the lash
that the frantic driver was using with
all his energy to urge the frightened
horses to the top of their speed. The
blood curdling howls of the wolves that
grew momentarily nearer and nearer
lent wings to the panting animals, and
they tore along over snowy wastes,
every muscle strained to its utmost,
every nerve quivering, their nostrils di
lated, their eyes starting from their
sockets, and long trails of filmy vapor
from their steaming bodies following in
their wake.
“Comrades,” said one of the in
the sleigh, rising up, pale, but wiA iron
resolution written in every line of his
face, “the wolves are gaining upon us.
In five minutes more, unless they are
checked, we are all lost. If we had ten
minutes we could reach that farm house
yonder, but we cannot do it. There is
only one hope. One of us must sacrifice
himself for the others. Farewell!”
Before they could stop him he had
thrown himself out of the sleigh and dis
appeared.
On flew the horses. The sleigh, re
lieved of the weight of the brave man
who had voluntarily offered himself a
sacrifice to the bloodthirsty animals to
save the lives of his friends, went per
ceptibly faster. A few minutes later
and they dashed into the yard surround
ing the little farm house. They were
saved!
But how had it fared with that daunt
less, unselfish hero?
Will it be believed? The gaunt, hun
gry wolves, diverted from the pursuit of
the sleigh, had no sooner surrounded
him than they seemed to regard him as
a friend. They smelt of him, fawned
upon him with every demonstration of
delight, and one of the boldest and
fiercest of the whole pack, evidently the
leader, offered him his paw as if to shake
hands with him, looked at the sleigh,
now too far away to be overtaken, shook
his head slowly, turned about and trotted
away, followed by all the rest. The
fierce, bloodthirsty wolves had recog
nized in this man a kindred spirit.

The Earth’s Age-
The age of the earth is estimated from
the increment in the temperature as we
penetrate its crust. The rate at which
the earth cools can only be determined
by making use of data confessedly im
perfect; but from these Sir William
Thompson finds that 100,000,000 or 200,-
000,000 years ago it first began to be
crusted over by a solid film of rocks;
that 10,000,000 years afterward it was
still so hot that the temperature in
creased 2 degs. Fahrenheit for every foot
vertically descended below the zone of
constant temperature. The present rUe
of increase averages about 1.51 of a de
gree for every foot.—St. Louis Republic.
The Way He Got Even,
I recently visited a certain part of this
world where it seemed as though every
other man and about half of the women
whom I met were the authors of books,
and not a few of them entertained the
notion that I must have read or heard
of their volumes of poetry or theology
or romance or criticism or legisties or
piety or science. I was often embar
rassed by the question of new acquaint
ances, “Have you read my book?’ and I
always felt indisposed to give offense by
repeating Carlyle's reply to the inquiry,
“No; is it a big book?’
On one occasion, however, when a pro
fessor in the university asked me the fa
miliar question, I bethought me of away
of relieving myself from embarrassment
by abruptly, yet I hope courteously, ask
ing, “Have you read my book?’ Ths
professor, who had not heard of my
brochure, though it appeared in print
ten years ago, was put in as bad a plight
as he had previously put me in, and his
mortification over his ignorance was
even more grievous than mine. The
quiddity served me ever afterward when
I met an inquiring author. —John Swin
ton.
Civilities Exchanged.
A French gentleman who war. staying
at the Bellevue hotel stepped out of the
hotel one morning and walked to the
corner of Broad r d Walnut streets to
wait for a Chestnut street car. An or
gan grinder with a monkey started to
play the “Marseillaise.” The monkey
tripped across to the French gentleman
and held up his paw. The foreigner
placed therein a coin, and the monkey
took off his little red cap.
Without a thought the polite French
man immediately raised his own silk
hat in return to the salute, and the mon
key ran to his master chattering with de
light, a broad grin spreading over hit
little brown face.^—Philadelphia Press.
