HOQFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
Is a combination of all the ingredients of
the Bitters, with the purest quality of Santa
Cruz; Bum, Orange, Ltc., making one of the
most pleasant and agreeable remedies ever
offered to the public.
Those preferring a medicine free from Al
coholic admixture, will use
-HOOPLAND'S GERMAN .BITTERS.
Those - who have no objection to the com
bination of the Bitters, as stated, will use
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC.
They are both Frynally good, and contain
the same medicinal virtues, the choice be
tween the two being a mere matter of taste,
the Tonic being the most palatable.
The Stomach, from a variety of causes,
such as Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Debility, etc., is ye rv. apt to have its
functionsderangedo The Liver, sympa
thising as it does with the Stomach,
then becomes affected, the result of
which is that the patient suffers from sev

that which he is as sured from his in
vestigations and oinquiries, possesses
true merit, is skill fully compounded,
is free from injuri oils ingredients,
and has established for itself a reputation
for the cure of these diseases. In this con

Twenty-two years since they were first
introduced into this country from Germany,
during which time they have undoubtedly
- performed more cures, and benefited suffer

other remedies known to the public.
These remedies will effectually cure Liver

and all diseases ariiing from it„Dis

There is no medicine extant equal to these
remedies in such cases. A tone and vigor
is imparted to the whole, system, the appe

stomach digests promptly, the blood is puri

healthy, the yellow tinge is eradicatCd from
the eyes, a bloom Is given to the cheeks,
and the weak and nervous invalid becomes

A. Little about Prank lilorton•.
BY GEORGE BROWN
Among - those who lingered around a
Mexican wagon train, that was about to
start on a long and varied journey over the
wild, beautiful plains to the recent civiliza
tion beyond, was a boy about fourteen years
old, possessed of a handsome face radiant
with intellect and .health; he was rather
tall for his ag sail slender; and was carry 4
icAsA-that!•:ii-tied - e di am 3"6 2
meat known - among school boys as "a
shinny." This young boy was listening
eagerly to Os narrations of an old leather
clad man with one eye and long grey hair,
who was giving an account of remarkable
adventures and hair-breadth escapes, that
formed the greater part of his thirty years
experience in the far West, to a group of
his younger and less experienced compan
ions, some of whom were reclining in
alai worth grace on the g,ently9urling grass,
others hanging in picturesque attitntle on
the necks of favorite rattles, or exposing
only their stalworth calves and moccasins
out of the back end of a high-topped Mexi
can wagon.
The radiant face of the youthful listener
became more radiant still during the re
lation of it particularly thrilling adventure,
and when the old grizzled narrator reached
the climax of the story, when the brandish
ed tomahawk was about to descend upon
his weather-hardened skull—but did not,
when the glittering knife was on the point
of entering his crusty heart—but did not,
the eyes of th'e boy dilated through absorb
ing interest, and ho involuntarily followed
with his "shinny" the motions which the
old narrator went through with his long
rifle.
It was a beautiful day In May, the auu
had just enough power to make things
appear hazy and indistinct, so that the vast
plains stretching like a sea towards the
still farther West, scented dint and vision
ary.
The tales of the old trapper, the jocund
laughter of the teamsters, the picturesque
Mexican wagons with their high tops-and
long line of oxen, each had its charm for
the boy, and each gentle breeze that came
rippling from the west lvas laden with
imaginary war-whoops, roars of the 'buf
faloes, and other wild sounds belonging to
that dim land beyond the horizon.
Our young boy, whom wo will now intro
duce as Frank Morton, had formed a wild,
fanciful idea of running away from home,
and going along with this wagon-train.
He had heard mentioned the need of a boy
to assist the herdsman in taking care of
the oxen when they were turned out to
graze r and although , : he had never had
anything to do with oxen, he thought that
by assuming a rough dress and a corres
pondingly rough air, he might obtain that
most desirable position. When Frank had
decided on taking this step he went home
as fast us possible, exchanged his fine snit
for the worst cue he could find, made ups
small. bundle of a few necessary things; ho
wrote a note to his parents telling them
what ho was about to do, saying that ho
only wanted to see a little of the western
wilds, and that he intended to be home in
a short time ; he begged them not to 'be un
easy on his account, and again declared his
intention of coining back soon. Having
put this note where he thought it would
not be found until he had got far enough
from home to prevent his being brought
back, Frank secretly left the house; and
hurried away to the wagon train. After
hanging around for, a short time he dis
covered that the old trapper, that had been
relating the remarknble . anecdotes, was the
wagon-master of the train. Seizing an
opportunity when the old man was alone;
Frank swaggered up to him, and asked in
as rough a voice as ho could master for the
vacant pOsition..
Old Tom looked sharply for a short time
at Frank, and then relieving himself of
about a pint of tobacco juice, he said,
" Well, young un, hey ye ever tit inJunes,
kin ye tell when the varmints is about by
the way the critters carry on r'
Frank's bold, swaggering air instantly
deserted him, and he answered in the
meekest , possible voice, that he did not,
but that be thought ho could learn.
Old Tom regarded .Frank attentively for
some time, and then with a quiet smile
playing over his weather-beaten features,
he said, " Well, young 'um - jist as leave
hey ye as any one else, pervided ye attend
to yer bizness."
This Frank incoherently promised to do,
and followingg - old Tom he. was introduced
to the herdsman, a tall, spare man, with a
fur skull cap. The herdsman told him that
his duties were to assist him in keeping
the oxen together when they were turned
out to graze, to see that none of them
strayed away, and to keep a sharp lookout
for Indiana ; and, that during the interval
between the grazing times of the cattle,
be would have nothing in particular
to do.
About noon the train began to move,
making a very peculiar scene ; the clUmsy
roll of the ponderous wagons, the occasion
al bellow of the oxen, mingled with the
will " hoe, ho-hoe" of the teamsters, had
a very stirring effect on the blood of young
Frank. The train went about ten miles
that afternoon, and encamped on a gentle
rise about, one-half mile from a small
stream, to which Nat., the herdsman, told
Frank they were to drive the oxen. Frank's
experience in his new vocation began then
and there, and, although he lashed himself
more than the oxen, with the long whip
that was given hlin, yet he performed his
duty of keeping together the oxen about
as well as any one else could have done it,
and to the entire -satisfaction of the herder.
While sitting on the bank of the little
stream watching the oxen, Frank beheld
on the opposite side a pretty, little animal
about the size of a cat, of a mingled white
and black color, It was really a beautiful
creature to gaze upon, Frank thought, and
he was about to cross the stream to form a
closer acquaintance with the animal, when
a slight breeze arose blowing from the
animal to Frank, and ladened not with
imaginary sounds, but with strong, olfac
tory proof of reality. Frank had heard of
the skunk,—be paused—he turned back,
and thereby escaped becoming the " butt"
of the whole party, as ho inevitably would
have done had he carried out his first In
tention of crossing-the stream, and caress
ing the pretty creature. About dusk Net.,
who was on the other side of the herd,
culled to Frank that it was time to drive
the: cattle back, which they accordingly
did.
The - next day and several following ones
passed without anything of special interest
occurring except the meeting with several
bands of friendly Indians, which was quite
novel to Frank. Although he admired
their fine, stalworth forms, he could not
but think that mentally they were
about As low specimens of humanity as be
had yet met with in his short life, and be
secretly hoped that the hostile Indians
were more noble looking.
At the close of a beautiful day after they
had been one week on the way, Frank,
who as usual was helping Nat. to drive
home the oxen, saw, about a half mile off,
a party of horsemen coming at a great
speed towards them. Frank called to Nat.,
and pointed to the horsemen. Nat. looked,
and instantly shouted " injuns," and beck
oning Frank to follow, he started at full
speed towards camp. Frank followed and
being very fleet on foot he - would have
reached camp along with Nat, hid he not
in some way, gol into t . yeyiryraidst. of
'herd;iMpede..l his tirigie;4.-the;t.
more and more Confused, until the aband-
owed the idea of running for camp, and
crouching he tried to hide among the oxen.
How his little heart did heat as he crouch
ed close to the side of a great bullock that
was iiffietly chewing the end, unconscious
of danger. His hiding place (lid him no
good, for the Indians dashed into the midst
of the herd, and he was very soon discover
ed. An old Indian with a hideously
painted face. sprung, from his pony with a
yell, and seizing Frank by his long light
hair he was about to bury his tomahawk
in his young skull, when he checked him-
Ralf and gazing sharply at Frank for a short
time, he turned to his ptiny, and getting a
long strap of raw-hide, he bound Frank
firmly, hand and foot. A short consulta
tion was held by the Indians, and then one
of them started MT in the direction of the
camp, but returned soon shaking his head,
and pointing to the sky, which was now
studded with 'innumerable stars. Front
this Indian's actions, Frank drew the con
clusion that he had been sent towards the
camp to ascertain the number of men there
were to oppose them, were they to attack
the cutup, and that he had found the ruin-
her of men to be greater than they had
supposed.
Suddenly one of the Indians pointed to
wards the camp ; there seemed to be a stir
as though the men were preparing to make
a dash to rescue young Frank. The
Indians quickly sprimg to their ponies,
and Frank's captor seizing hint in one arm
leaped nimbly upon his pony's back, and
they were off like the wind, defying pur
suit from Frank's friends, who were
mounted at best on green mules.
The little captive - tried hard not to think,
and remained perfectly quiet; the party
dashed on far from Frank's camp -home
and far into the night. They had a cold,
weary night's ride, and about sunrise next
morning, Frank heard voices and the bark
of dogs—descending a gentle slope they
came in full view of an Indian camp, the
camp of his captors.
After the curiosity of all the home-Indians
had been satisfied in regard to the young
captive, some dried meat was given to
Frank, and after be had eaten a little he
was led to the lodge of the chief when his
clothes were taken off him and be was
stained all over with walnut juice, and
fitted out with moccasins and blanket like
any young Indian.
Frank was then led to a lodge that stood
apart from the rest, and thrust in all alone.
During the cold, long ride of the previous
night Frank had thought a great deal about
his own camp-fire, and of the snug little
nest under a huge pile of robes, aside of
long Nat., but now his vivid imagination
gave way to keen intellect which wag
already planning a mode of escape.
Just before dusk, Frank saw through a
hole in the lodge, a fine black pony stand
ing by the lodge that was nearest to his.
Tho idea of eluding the guard and moun
ting the pony fiashed across his mind.
Just then the guard came in with supper,
- . and went back as usual after water. The
supper was brought on a flat, sharp edged
stone, and Frank determined to strike the
guard with this stone, and mounting the
pony, flee for dear life. Grasping the stone
by that part which he could most easily
hold, he stationed himself near the entrance
to wait for the guard. The guard came to
the entrance and began to untie the fasten
ings. Frank disliked to do an injury to
any one, but self-preservation was upper
most in his mind, and Just as the guard
stepped in; he sprang forward and dealt
him a blow on the head with all the force(
he could muster. The guard fell forward
without a groan. Frank rushed out, Jump
ed on the pony and was off like the wind.
He had not gone far before he was dis
covered, but his escape had been so sudden
and unexpected, that by the time the pur
suing party started he had a full half mile
start. -
On they dashed for hours in the nioon-
Ight, the pursued and the pursuers.
Frank's pony was the fleetest of the lot, ho
s:2,oo•Per Year, in A.dv:ance; $2,50 if not Paid in Advance.
was gradually lengthening' the. distance
between his pursuers and himself, when
he suddenly saw a Abort distance ahead
one of those, perpendicular cracks or
fissures in the earth;that are so coalman
on the more western plains. - Vila break
was full twenty feet wide, and seemed such
a formidable obstacle that poor Frank in
voluntarily- checked his pony, when 'a yell
of triumph burst from his pursuers, which
urged him on. Nearing the "edge of the
break his pony faltered, when Frank,
seized the knife he had secured from -the
Indian at the time he dealt the blow, and
sank it into the pony's flank. With a 1
terrific half-snort, - the pony
'bounded forward, and landed safely on the I
oilier side. On he dashed and when about i
a quarter of a mile from the break, Frank
ventured a look over his shoulder at his
pursuers. They bad reached the break,
and Were - riding rapidly up and down to
ftnd a eso.s9ing place; but 'none was to be
found, for the fissure extended for miles
in either direction. Knowing that-their
ponies were far inferior to Frank's, and
that they could not make that wild leap.,
the Indians gave a yell of mingled rage
and disappointment, and slowly turned
homewards.
Frank saw all this, but Redid not slacken
his speed, and it was not until ho was miles
farther on his way that he allowed his
pony to walk. He kept on at a slow rate
during the long night, and about sunrise
the next morning, he had the indescribable
joy of striking the Santa Fe wagon-travel,
on which there were fresh tracks and drop
pings, which showed that a team had lately
passed.
Dismounting, Frank dressed as well as
possible the cut in the poney's flank, and
then re-monnting, he daqbed swittlY after
his friends.
On the evening of Frank's capture, as
soon as his friends in camp became aware
of his situation, they at once determined to
rescue him But just when they were about
to make the dash, the Indians, as before
mentioned, started off at a rate that defied
pursuit.
The usually jovial group that gathered
around the evening camp-tire, was that
evening Moody and downcast. "Young
un's" merry laugh and eager Taco were
that evening far away, but his numerous
merits wore warmly discussed by these
rough, warm-hearted men.
The men know that they could do Frank
no good by remaining in camp, so the next
day they slowly . resumed their march.
That evening passed as had the previous
one, all hands sad and disconsolate for the
loss of young Frank.
A. little while after sunrise the next morn
ing, one of the party called the attention of
the rest to an object that was approaching
them from the rear. As it came nearer, this
object proved to be an Indian boy, riding
wildly towards them.
The doubts of the party were at once dis
pelled, when the wild figure dashed into
their midst, flung himself into the arms of
old Tont,"and said; "How do yoti . do,TOrn?", ,

Frank. began to tell of his adventure,
and when he had reached in his relation,
the point where he had made the wild Jeep,
the cheer that horst trout the brawny breasts
of the Plaimonen Wll4 IMO Anil prolonged.
The next day one of the men dresqed the
eat in the pony's flank, and it/ a a few days
it became entirely healed.
Nothing of particular interest occurred
during the rest of the journey out, and
when the goods were all delivered, and the
oxen's heads turned eastward, Frank first
thought of home.
The journey home was void of especial
interest, and they arrived at L— shout
dark, on a raw, October day. Frank found
a stable for his pony, and then hurried on
foot to his father's house. Entering the
little front yard, ho saw a light in the sit
ting room ; ho stole gently to the window
and looked in
His father, mother, and little brothers
and sisters were sitting around the old fire
side; his mother looked sad, and the lines
in his father's strong, merchant's face, were
deeper than they had been before Frank
ran away.
Bursting into tears, Final: rushed into
the house, and flung himself into the arms
of his mother, who also, after recognizing
her son, wept with joy. Frank then greet
ed his father, who looked fetidly at him fur
some time, and said, " Where have you
been, my boy?"
Frank related his adventures, and was
freely forgiven.
The Indian pony soon became reconciled
to its change of home, and lived to be old
in the service of its master.
That was years ago, and since then Frank
Merton has become on© of the leading iner 7
chants of the " Far West."
