Frequently, this causes inflammation and the 'need of an anodyne. No other expectorant or anodyne is equal to Ayor's Chorry Pectoral. It assists Nature in ejecting the mucus, allays irritation, induces repose, and is the most popular ot all cough cures. "Of the many preparations before the puWio for the cure of colds, coughs, bronchitis, and kindred diseases, there is none, 'within the range of my experl ence, so reliable as Ayor's Cherry Pec toral. For yonrs I was subject to colds, followed by terrible coughs. About four years ago, when so allltcted, I was ad vised to try Ayor's Cherry Pectoral and to lay all other remedies aside. I did so, and within a week was well ot my cold and cough. Since then I have always kept this preparation in the, house, and feel comparatively secure." Mrs. L. L, Brown, Denmark, Miss. "A few years ago I took a severe cold which affected my lungs. I hail a ter rible cough, and passed night after night without sleep. The doctors gave me up. I tried Aycr's Cherry Pectoral, which relieved my lungs, induced sleep, and afforded the rest necessary for the recovery of my strength. By the con tinual use of tue Pectoral, a permanent cure was effected." Horace Fairbrother, Itocklugham, Vt. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, Or. J. C. Aver & Co., Lowell, Mass.

(Set Sliues After Koon. The best time to get fitted to Shoes Is in the latter part of the day. The feet then are ut their maximum of size and Benaitiveness. Activity measurably en larges them. When the muscles are in play the flow of blood in the arteries is Increased and the joints also; conse quently they are more tender. Even gravity affects the venous circulation, so that standing on the feet alone tends to enlarge theae members. It is gravity that produces varicose veins in the legs' and feet of persons of relaxing fibre who are required to be much in the erect position. Hence when healthy persons He down at night their feet, being relieved from the weight or the body, resume their normal 6lze. Try on the new shoes with moderately thick stockings, too, and you then have a margin of room by putting on thinner ones wheh the feet are ill at ease. For tender feet fit them late in the day with the aid of heavy stockings, and the next morning, clad in thinner itockings, those feet will rest in the new almost as comfortably as they would in old Bhoes, Herald of Health. Poor One Minute, llleh the Neat. One minute with poverty staring him iu the face; the next a rich man for life. That was the actual experience of S. P. Armstrong, who died of heurt disease at Butler, Pa. He had invested all his funds in sinking a well in the Thorn Creek oil region of Pennsylvania. It was thought to be dry, and as a sort of farewell protest against his ill luck the xplorer fired a torpedo in its depths. Immediately after its explosion the well began to now at a tremendous rate, a volume Of oil being lifted into the air to a height of at least one hundred feet. Not having expected a big well no con nections had been made to the tanks, and the oil flowed on the crround. mm. rilAffllvdolnrrlnrr tliA AntirATinfrrlilinfliAAi Af tor several hours the" oil was turned' into tanks with great personal risk to the workmen, and the first day's production was 10,000 barrels, the largest well ever opened In the oil county It was a mine of wealth to Mr. Armstrong, aud devel oped a large scope of rich territory.

OUTLA BY INDIANS, In the fall of 1800, while I wns at tached to FoTt Hays as a government scout and dispatch rider, the Sioux mid Oheyennes were consolidating for the war which opened in tho spring. Bands stragglers were riding uliout thu country, stealing and murdering when ever opportunity offered, and ono day in October, while returning to tho fort from a long ride to the north after somu missing horses, I encountered one of these predatory bands. It numbered twelve men, nnd a sou of tho Cheyenne chief known as Pawnoo Killer was in command. While war had not been de- cIaredL and while the Indians did not lesltate to appear at tho forts and trad ing posts, somo one was being butchered every day. I had been on the watch for prowlers and was as well prepared ns.n one man could be. I had a Winchester and two revolvers, and the only draw back was that I had found two of the horses and hud them with mo. I was skirting a long, narrow ridge, badly broken by outcroppings of rock, and the time was 2 o'clock in the after- nooti. All of a suddou I caught sight of Indians about half a mile tiwiiy coming np the same side of tho ridge. Indeed I heard them yelling before I raw thorn, and I turned sharp to the left and forced the horses up tho ndge among it mass of bowlders and outcropping. Tho red skins caught sight of mo as I went np. but did not immediately approach. I could see that they were confused, nnd n dozen or more shots woro fired, and I was puzzling over the matter when I heard somo one clattering over tho stony ground, and next moment a white man jumped down beside me and ex claimed: "Stranger, for God's sake stand 'eid oil until I cau get my wind. They nro Cheyennes, and have killedmy brother!" Three young bucks, on foot, hud been in chase of the fugitive, and they wero within 200 feet of me as I rose up. Tho leveled rifle brought them to sudden halt, and after gazing at mo for iv mo ment they turned and descended tho ridge to join tho rest of the band. My visitor lay down, and It was live minutes before he could got broath to explain. "Wo were out looking for cattle which stampeded from onr emigrant enmp on the Saline Fork. These brutes killed my brother and took mo prisoner. That was yesterday, and about a milo below here they had gone into camp nnd built Are to torture me when I mado it break. Give mo your revolver, for they'll be sure to charge us." 1 gave him ono of tho wouponH, nnd soon after mi Indian appeared on tho foot of tho ridge, mado signs of peace and asked for a talk. Those on tho lev el below me drew away about forty rods to convince mo that thoy meant fair, and I left my shelter and advanced p few paces' to ask the errand of tho young warrior. While I was thus engaged tho man behind me was rolling tho loose rocks' together to strengthen tho position, The redsKin.AAid he camo to demand a prisoner. They-had no quarrel with me, but the.- prisoner had Bhot ono of itheir number in cold blood and must die. They only asked for justice. I had their word that I might ride away in safety, but the prisoner they would have t any sacrifice. I did not wait an in stant uefore replying that tho man would not be given up, and that I was ready for any movo on their part to take him. Tho buok had left his rifle bohind him, and I stood there also apparently un armed. As a matter of fact each of us had a revolver. We were about half a pistol shot apart, and as I gave him my ultimatum he half turned, whipped out revolver and fired a bullet which nassed within an inch of mv bead. Then ne uttered a yell and started to run, but he was too late. Sly bullet struck him under the right arm and went clear through him, and he fell and curled up by a bowlder to die. The situation was understood by the Indians below me almost instantly, and the entire crowd dismounted and charged up the ridge. It was a very foolish move on their part and proved tho excitability of young bucks. We had them dead un der our fire, anil we killed three of them with as many bullets. I got n bead on Pawnee Killer's son with my revolver as he urged his hesitating hand to push up tue nuge, ana wuen ue went uown thought I had killed him. With his fall the fighting ceiu-ed, The survivors mado a rush for their horses and then dlsup peared to the east, leaving the four dead ones where they fell. I was puzzlod at their conduct, and at first regarded it as a ruse, hut when I came to stand up and look around I saw a party of thirteen white men hunters, trappers, stockmen and adventurers coming up from tho north on their way to the fort The name of the young man who bo cleverly escaped was Austin Brico, and for the next year he was in government employ at the fort. He had not shot nn Indian, as stated by the flag of truce bearer, but the murder of his brother was entirely unprovoked and celd blood ed, und the Indians meant to torturo him to death, The bullet which struck the young chief did not kill him, as I at first sup. piwed. It struck him alongside thu nose, ran down to the corner of his mouth, fol lowed the line of tho lips down to the left hand corner, and nassed over tho chin. The result was. to givoldm a most horrible looking month, making him nn object of rldlculo and contempt; and he not only swore to have my life, but PaW' nee Killer proclaimed the faot that he would give Are ponies and a revolver to any one who would bring him my scalp. Therefore, while aotual hostilities had not yet begun, there was a price set upon my head The first attempt was mado about two weeks after the fight on tho ridge. A Sioux Iudian, who claimed to have been outlawed from his tribe because ha fa Yored, peace with the whites, came into Fort Hays, ostensibly for protection, Ho had no weapons, seemed to be hones aud straightforward, and all the men had a good word for him. On the tliird day he came to mo and asked my as alstauoo to recover his rifle, blankot. a tot or powiter and lead and various other article, which he eaid he had cached at a spot about twelve iullw down the Smoky Hill Fork in a grort). Wheu he described the spot I remembered it very well, and next morning, having permission of tiie commandant, we set out. I was on hornebiu'k and the Indian afoot. I had my usual weapons, while heliad an army musket. -lie gave us his, name as Little Smoke, aud waa 'Before we left the fort an old hnnter called me aside and said: "Do you believe thar1 is a cauhe?" "Why not?' "Skae na. ialm aaiiHiW AUo tarte 'em contrary to wnat tney say. is your scalp nailed onr "Do you mistrust tho manr" "Never bow one yit that I didn't I'm going to bet my rifle ngin a keg of pow der that you don't come back." As soon as we were out of sight of tho fort I motioned for tho Indian to tak the lead. He seemed to tnke it ns a mat tor of courso, and he led off with a lope and held it for mx or seven milos with out a halt. I had not only to keep nn eye on him, but Roan the country as well. He appeared to bo on tho lookout, as woll ho might lie If hisHtory was true, nnd about 11 o'clock we approached tho spot where ho claltnod to huvo mddou his property. I had kept him in tho lead all tho tlmo, nnd wo had had nioro or less shelter along the hank of tho stream. Haif a mlo from tho grove I drew rein And BaldY ' I will wflit here whilo bv brother goert,to;rVard. after his propertyffi is the Swift IMiier tired VHh his ridel" he sarcastically answered. "Ono must keen watch for danger. I will do that, for you will be busy." "If my white brother is afraid he need not go." If my re3Tt)ther ban a cache in tho grovo let him look for it. If not wo will return to the fort." Ho hesitated a moment, nnd then, sat isfied that I wns on my guard, ho walked away and soon disappeared in tho grovo. I had every confidence that the trees sheltered a band of rodfikins, and it would not liavo surprised me in the least to have seen a body of them dash out. I was therefore taken aback, nt the end of about a quarter of an honr.to boo Little Smoke reappear with u backload of stuff from his cache. Ho camo straight toward me, but very slowly, and halted every few yards to adjust his burden. I was carefully watching him when my horso sniffed the tiir unousily, and all at once it camo to mo that I was being stalked. I left tho shelter of tho cot- tomvoods for tho open ground, and ns I rodo nwny two bullets zipped closo to my head, having been fired from the opposite bank of the stream. At tho samo moment Littlo Smoke dropped his goods and fired on mo with his muskot. Whilo half n dozen Indians in my roar were yelling and shooting I rodo down to within 200 feet of tho smooth tongucd traitor nnd dropped him deiid in his tracks. There were fivo Indians in tho ambuscade, and they mounted their ponies and pursued mo for throe or four miles, but I got safely away. Tho second attempt was mado In De cember.

The distanco was not over fivo miles, but tho snow lay deep on tho ground nnd it was" very sharp weather. Tho old man probably reasoned that I would bo Bent out to guido the relief party. Ho was asked to do so, but re fused, oven under promlso of a gallon of whisky. Tills refusal aroused my suspi-1 cions, and instead of going put us, n ro-i lief corps a dozen moh wont armed 'to tho teeth. Tho placo designated was a grove, and wo approachod it ns near as posslblo under cover and then made n sudden dash. Eight moimtod Indians rushed out on tho other bide. There wero evidences that thoy had been there In camp for two or threo days. In the bpnng, when war hud been for mally declared, most of my work was along tho Smoky Hill sttigo route. When tho stages finally ceased running earned food mid ammunition to thd Btutiou employes or guided them safely to tho posts. Lookout station, twenty miles beyond Fort Hays, was more ox posed to attack than any other on the route. Tho hut for tho shelter of the men was hnlf wood, half mud. Two stobles filled with hay and oats flanked it and stood dangerously near. Whlla nt overy other station the men had made dugouts for their protection, this precau tion had b."cn neglected at Lookout. Small bauds of Indians had appeared nnd been stood off by the well armed men, nnd they had romo to believe that thoy could defeat any force likely to ap pear. On tho morning of April 15 I was approaching Lookout with 000 Win chester cartridges for tho men, when, just ns day fairly broke, I was discov ered and pursued by a band of about fifty Indiana. I got into the station after a' lively chni, and within an hour it was surrounded by over u hundred redskins, I had been recognized, nnd they sent a flag of trnco to offer the three men their lives if they would hand me over. This offer was twice reenteU, nnd then the Indians t-ettleil down lo besiege the sta tion. Dnring the day tho firing was kept up at long range, .ml tho horses m tho stables were killed before noon, but none of us was w.oiwded. As night came I determined to got nwny, being under or dors to repor-t at Hays aa soon as possible. The meu encouraged me to go, saying they could hold the place until I sent assistance. At about 0 o'clock I crept out of the hut, crawled on my lunula and knees into the darkneos, and after twice almost bumping itguinat Indians I got beyond their lines and headed for tho fort. I was only three miles nway when I saw the glare of the burning stables, which the. redskins had crept up to and fired. The hut caught from the stables, and as tho three brave fellows were finally driven out they were shot down by the horde In waiting, and thus overy vestige of the station was wiped out.

A boy 0 years of ago was admitted recently to tho Mount Slnnl hospital suffering from a complete paralysis of his lower ox trcmltles and tho lowor half of tho body. This condition had developed very sud denly. On arising from his bed one morning ho found himself unable to stand or lo two his legs. Ho had bus tnined no Injury, his general health wns fair. On examination it wns found that ho had a marked prominence over tho pine in its tipper portion, giving rise to a deformity ench ns is commonly eecn in hunchbacks, nnd which is tho result of an inflammatory disease affecting tho vortobrro, and known as Pott's disease.

All this is being rapidly disproved, and it is being shown that If tho nose is in nn unhealthy state there is quite a long list of affections which may bo induced in consequence. Hay fever has often been cured by ap plications to certain points in the nasal passages. Astlunn, also, has yielded to tho Bumo treatment.

Tho oldest paper published iu tho En glish language, oxcept The London Ga zette, Is Lloyd's List, which made its first appearanco in a dingy Utllo London soffeo house in 1693. There is no nows puper moro generally read by shippers and marine merchants than Lloyd's, nnd yet few of its renders know its very re- marknUo history, or that of tho great comiiiercial business that has grown up with it. About 1075 there wns acoffeo houso in Towor street, London, kept by ono Ed ward Lloyd, where a knot of merchants gathered at noon to discuss business and gossip over the threatening Romanism of James II. From this small beginning bus grown up ono of the greatest and most powerful commercial organizations in the world, not the least important feature of which is an intelligence de partment, which for wideness of range and efficient working has no parallel in the history of private enterprise. Ah early as 1688 The London Gazette contained n flattering notice of Lloyd's shop, and four years later the proprlttor, who seems to have been a rousing good business man, moved Ills establishment to Lombard street, then the center of London's wealthy and influential mer chant populace. Tho astute coffee house proprietor at this time began the publi cation of his News, a weekly paper filled with commercial and shipping informa tion, and it became very popular with those Seventeenth century men of trade. It subsequently changed its name to Lloyd's List, and ever since that time lias enjoyed an uninterrupted publica tion. Throughout tho greater part of the Eighteenth century Lloyd's was the most popular place known to London mer chants and underwriters. Lloyd himself probably died in the early part of the eentury, but his name aud his paper had ineffaceably marked the business of that time, as it marks thatot the present day, London's great business of marine in surance owes ita existence to the printed torui of policy issued by the Lloyd As sociation of Underwriters, an association that has never lieen known by any other name Hum that of the poor but popular coffee house proprietor and editor. The whole superatruoture of marine insur ance rests upon The List, whioh for 200 years lias embruced the collection, pub lication and diffusion of every form of Intelligence with respect to shipping.
