Sick Headache

la Indigestion and a sluggish liver, tho
euro for which is readily found In tho

" I have found that for sick headache,
cauSed by a disordered condition of tho
stomach, Ayer's PUIS are the most re
liable rtmcUy." Samuel 0. llradburn,
Wortliington, Mass.
"After the uso of Ayer's Tills for
many years, in my practtco and family,
I am justified lu saying that they are on
excellent cathartic and liver medicine
sustaining nil the claims made for them."
t-W. A. VVestfall, M. V., V. P. Austin
& N. W. Railway Co., Burnet, Texas.
"Ayer's Pills are the best mcdicino
known to mo for regulating the bowels,
and for all diseases cause,d by a dis
ordered stomach and liver. I suffered
for over three yoars from headache, in
digestion, and constipation. I had no
nppottto and was weak and nervous
most of tho time. By using three boxes
of Ayer's Pills, and at tho same time
dieting ruvself, I was completely cured."
Philip Lookwood. Topelca, Kansas.

' OF SETTLING DISPUTES.
Dueling with Howitzers A Mortlil Com
bat In tho Hum els of the Knrth Wrest
ling In a Gulch mil til with Rattlesnake.
I'ntul I.iirlut Throwing.
The rlatn duel is not a new thing on
the Mesicnu frontlar. Indeed, there ia
hardly a Mg cnttle range anywhere that
has not its Btories of hard fights with the
lasso. Such duols are bound to be fierce.
But bo sldllful and tiulck do these rope
throwers become that such a duel not
nnfrequontly lasts for hours.
Probably tho best remembered fight of
this sort was that between a Texan,
unowu as Kid Long, and a little .Mexi
can whowasnnlysiokenof as "Qabilan"
hawk on tlieRveatLievrefauge. They
circled aronnd oach other," dodging the
rapid throws from 10 in the rtlOrninK
until after sunset, when the hoTSesdlnHt
almost given out the Texan threw at his
adversary, wlro threw back so that his
noose passed right over tho other man tf
lasso and hand and caught him fair
around the neck and tinder the annpit.
In almost no time Kid was out of his
saddle and being dragged over the ground
at a rate that knocked the life out of him
boforc he had gone a hundred yards,
Hie west, during ltB wild and woolly
days, and tho Mexican frontier have had
many remarkable dnels.
KING OF THIS CAMP.
Uliat between "Fanner" Isl aud a
soldier, near one of the forts in Utah, is
among the classics of ilio field of honor
or what has answered for that in the
cow towns and mining camp. The
weapons were rifles, revolvers and borne
knives. The men principals were placed
on opposite sides of a hillock, around
which ran a road, and started to meet,
Tho curve of tho hill prevented their see
ing one another until they were Within
a hundred j-ards. As soon as they sW
ono another both fired. Though part of
tho rim of Peel's hat was cut oil, and
tho soldier's sleeve was pierced, neither
was hurt. Then they pulled their pis
tols and advanced, firing. ,Both dropiied
badly wounded when less than twenty
3'ards separated them. They lay there
squirming and shooting until both had
emptied their weapons. Peel was des
perately hurt and his adversary had one
ball through the stomach and several
others distributed all over his anatomy.
"When thoy could shoot no more thoy
lay for a short time swearing. Then
Peel, who was so badly hurt that he
could not advance even on his hands and
knees, began to wriggle toward the fallen
soldier. lie pulled himself along with
his elbows, and with his one uninjured
hand finished tho soldier with his bowie
knife. '
Farmer Peel already had the biggest
private graveyard of any man iri-the
vicinity. This encounter spread his
fame all over the coast, and when he
went over to Nevada he receiveil$very
whero the homage of lesser.liglits. . ' il
BUaLlNQ IN COMSTOCK MINE. '
They have lots of deadly encounters
up there on the Comstock. There was
one a number of years ago fought over
half a mile under ground. According to
the evidonce given at the inquest by the
survivor, tho two miners were working
alone in a drift. They were rivals over
the affections of a woman, and in a quar
rel ono inado a drive at the other with
his candlestick. A miner's candlestick
consists of a metal socket attached to a
sharp steel spike, so that it can be stuck
in tho fuco of the drift anywhere. The
second miner defended himself with his
candlestick, aud there, thousands of feet
under the ground, the' wrestled and
stabbed until one's life was gone. As
they did not come up when they should
have gone oil shift others went down in
search of them. They found one dead
and the other unconscious through loss
of blood. The jury, of course, had to
take the survivor s story of tho affair,
aud he was acquitted,
A strange duel was fought in a sparsely
settled -part of Souora, Mexico, about
fifteen years ago. Capt. Villetiueva and
a lieutenant of a battery of light artil
lery belonging to ono of the posts had
some trouble about who was the best
shot with the mountain howitzers.
They quarreled and ngreed to settle it
with the howitzers at 500 yards. They
took neither seconds nor assistant gun
ners, but from the top of small hillocks
they fired explosive shells at one an
other. The captain was wounded by a
fragment of a shell, but they fired ten
shots beforo either was disabled, though
each was covered with dust. Finally
tho captain landed a shell fairly under
his ndvei-savy'a gun and the explosion so
mangled the lieutenant that he died be
fore they could remove him to the post.
AN APACHE SNAKE 1'iaUT.
A little blind canyon in tho Sierra
.Madre used to furnish the Apaches with
the means ot formally settling their dis
putes. This gulch is fairly alive with
rattlesnakes. When two bucks had a
quarrel that they did not wish to settle
off hand they repaired to this gulley,
and while the remainder of tlfe tribe
stood around and watched from the
hills on either side the combatants went
together to where the serpents were
thickest. There stark naked aud weap
onless they would wrestle. This would
wake up every rattler in the. glen. The
aim of enpli was to force the other on to
the angry snakes. -It was not unusual
for both to be bitten wliile they strug
gled and Tolled around among the rocks.
Each was bound to remain aud wrestle
as long as his adversary had life or
strength enough to struggle with him
A most reirujrkabla duel was fought at
Jjfts Camitas, N. M., many years ago.
An under sized stranger came to the
town and picked a quarrel with "Hand
some Harry," a gambler renowned as a
dead shot. They got out into the road
and both fell mortally wounded. It was
ilUoovewd that the stranger was a worn

she fell the story became known that

fins telling of a joko on ono'tf Self re
frain moitiself denial than tho majority
olf iiersmts care to exercise. It has tho
wl vantage, however, of hurting nobody's
iNBngs, and of affording a field for le
gltjmate exaggeration. The late Mrs.
Wtey Webb Hayes was especially fond
or recounting her own defeats and mis
ha'ps, as this anecdote, which she told
one evening at a dinner at the White
House, Will show:
'It was at our home in Fremont, one
evening in November, when without
auy warning tho thermometer began
falling and snowflukes filled the air. 1
was' alone in tho house with my young
est children aud their colored nurse,
Winnie. Tho mon servants had gone to
their homes beforo dark.
."Suddenly I thought of poor Christo
pher Columbus, our long haired, pug
nciou Angora goat, out iu the pasture.
If seeified cruel to leave him there with
out auy shelter, so presently I went and
f sd Winnie to get a lantern and come
h me. -
At the barn wo found a great box, into
ich we pnt some straw, and together
e rolled and pushed and carried that
Wx across tho road and into the pasture.
'Christopher saw the light and came
toward it. Wo retreated behind the
fence, and tried to coax him into tho
place of shelter. Imagine our sentiments
when he mounted to the top of the box,
ana there took up his abode for tho
night!" Youth's Companion.
Xluti's Forcible Argumentative Method.
At the very outsot of our adventures I
dffeovered that tiio SSunis are special
objects of Dan's antipathy. Our guide
hafes these Indians as a white man hates
a rattlesnake, and at times took measures
which, to say the least, were very forci
ble. While Jim was building a fire to
get our morning meal Dan went to the
corral to look after the horses. There ho
found a big buck inside theinclosuro and
without a word knocked him down.
Dan's big fist raised a lump under tho
Italian's eye almost as largo as tho fist
Itself, and during our stay iu tho pueblo
that Indian, whom wo passed perhaps
fifty times, used ono oyo only. We saw no
fewer than five bucks similarly marked
dhring our sojourn In Zuni, and when
we wont to Ojo Caliento the first Indian
We met, Antoniovico by name, had a
similar disfiguration upon his face, sus
tained in an argument previously held
with Dim about a sack of oats.
I expostulated with Dan aliout this lit
tle recreation. Ho looked sulky for a
minute and then said:
"Young man, I've lived among these
redskins for thirty-nine years and I don't
believe you can tell me much about them.
If I get into an argument with an Injun
and can't talk any senso into his head I
hit him under the left eye and that set
tles it. I never have any further argu
ments with tho eanle Injun. Ain't that
better n'r shootiu' them?" Cor. New

How Thoy Carry Money. !
ttngf the queerest sights is to see how
alrfSrait Inimig'raiitiJ carry their money.
Most English immigrants carry their
coin in a small case, attached to a chain,
which thoy keep in a pocket as thoy
w'Ould a watch.
Irishmen always have a little canvas
bag in which notes and coin are crammed
together. Irish girls, on the other hand,
generally have their money sewed on the
inside of their dresses.
Germans carry their money in a belt
round their waists, and the belt is usually
an elaborate and costly affair, no matter
how poor tho immigrant may lie.
itie French mostly carry a small brass
tube in which they can place forty or
fifty twenty franc pieces and remove
them very readily one at a time.
There aro very few Italians who do not
carry a large tin tube in which they
keep their paper money or silver coins,
and this tube is hung round their neck
by a small chain or cord.
Swedes aud Norwegians are sure to
have an immense pocket book that has
generally been used by their fathers and
grandfathers before them, and which
has in it enough leather to make a pair
of boots.
The Slavonians aud Hungarians carry
their money in their long boots, together
with a knife, fork and spoon. Chatter,
Some Costly 'Wood Work. .
An interesting relio is the wood work
of the boudoir of Louise de la Valliere,
wall panels, dado, ceiling and doors, all
painted a f-oft cream white and adorned
wi.tli paintings of cupids and roses and
fluttering blue ribbons, relieved with
light arabesques of gold. These have
betjji set up and put in place, so that the
effuut of tho dainty little room can be
fully appreciated. The panels for the
walls of another lioudolr, of the reign of
Louis XV, were in palo pink satin, em
broidered with the fine silk cord called
cordonneret, with garlands' of flowers
mingled with birds and butterflies, the
work being feo beautifully executed as to
resemble a water color drawing in its
grace and finish. This set is valued, if 1
rjfcnumlier rightly, at $0 000. Paris Let
ter. Origin of the Word "Venee."
Tho origin of a slung phrase is some
times a difficult thing to truce, but sure
ly it is easy to mulentand why a person
wlu buys stolen goods from a. thief is
called a "fence." Obviously if a robber
were seeking to hide the evidence of his
crime when the officers of tho law were
in hut pursuit of him he would, if he
could, hide his "swag" behind the near
est fence. Hence "fence," a, place to
hide swag, aiu by oasy transition the
person who provides such a place. New

M VENGEANCE.
It came at last. Wo wore in tho libra
ry. I seated beforo the grate, gazing
vacantly into tho iiroj ho in an nrmchair
closo by, and eho ut tho piano.
Three months before I had mot Harry
Vano in the Out-of-the-way country vit
iligo where uhanco had thrown us both.
I was no child; twenty-thrco summers
and winters had passed over my head
aud left 11 le a wearied, unsatisfied wom
an, with numerous acquaintances but
fow friouds, much wealth but no happi
ness, many lovers but no ono to love.
Hairy Vane was soven years my sen
ior an oducatod, traveled, polished man
of the world in its best sense. We wero
much together. Our tastes were similar,
though on many, perhaps most, points
our opinions wore diametrically oppo
site. I first admired, then loved him.
Two inontlis of unalloyed happiness
went by, I loved him with an intensity
at which I myself almost shuddered,
and he, perhaps bocause ho had nothing
elso to do, loved me. How did I know
that ho loved me? I never could explain.
You might sneer at the foundation on
which my belief rested, and possibly you
would be right.
Then Louise Damerton, having wear
ied of Saratoga and Newport, and hav
ing by soino chanco discovered my hid
ing place, came too.
Slio was very beautiful. Even I, who
hud known her from childhood, and
know how falsa was her heart and how
utterly worthless her character, was
obliged to admit that a more peerlessly
beautiful woman I had never seen.
Before three days had passed I felt
that I was losing the only human being
for whom I had ever cared, and ere a
wcok was gone I knew that for the time
at least I had lost him. Her beautiful
face, her tasteful dress and her innocent,
childish maimer had completely en
thralled the man for whom Lwould have
periled my soul.
I said that we were stopping at an out-
of-the-way village. The residents them
selves said that.it thad not grown anyjn
fifty years, and this statement was read
ily believed by, the chance visitors, who
found that in the whole place there was
not a single piano. This was an unfail
ing source of annoyance to Harry Vane,
who was passionately fond of music, and
who soon learned that Louise was pro
ficient in the art.
But the summer passed away, nntumn
came and our party broke up. The cold
winds of December were howling when
we met again. Louise had come to New
York to spend a fow weeks with me.
Wo hated each other hotly, had always
douo so, and -yet our interchange of
visits was frequent. Nor was there any
hypocrisy in this; each understood the
feelings of the other thoroughly; there
was not tho slightest deception; but each
understood that for convenience sake
the outward appearance of civility mue,t
be maintained.
I had not seen Harry since summer,
but shortly after Louise's arrival he, too,
camo to New York. Tho next day he
came to dinner and spent the evening,
Louise at his request had played and
siiii?. She had dono her best, and done
well.
And thia brings mo to tho opening
scene of this sketch. All the time I had
been sitting "with crossed hands, gazing
vacantly into the fire and thinking with
throbbing heart and glowing cheek that
the inomout of my triumph was at
hand.
He loved music, and what was her
talent to mine? She had not heard me
for yars, for In my misanthropy I had
refused to play for any one, and only
practiced when entirely alone.
Had she known the truth sho would
never have touched a piano in my pres
ence. But she grew weary of playing
and ho, starting from a dreamy trance,
an) and set a chair for her by his
own.
"Would you favor us, Martha?" out
asked, in a half triumphant, half inso
lent tone.
He gave her an impatient glance; it
was provoking to havo the charm of her
mn-sio broken by any ordinary perform
ance. I saw at a glance and understood it
perfectly; but without a word I arose
and seated myself at the instrument. I
saw them exchange smiles; then he
throw back his head and closed his eyes,
as if resigning himself to what could not
be avoided.
Before I struck a doen notes, how
ever, hts head was raised, and in less
than fivo minutes he was at my side.
For an hour o.- more I played, and he,
enraptured with the strains, never left
me.
After that he called almost daily, and
with a triumphant swelling of my heart
I saw how completely Louise had lost
her influonee and how my own was re
established. Once more I felt that he
hived me and this time not because I
happened to be the only woman near,
but because from a'Tiost of competitors
he had chosen me of nls own good will.
Louise saw that her almost certain
conquest had become a most humiliating
defeat. It cut her to the quick that I,
her avowed enemy, should deprive her
of Una lion of the season. She saw her
cause was ht, and to retrieve it reeolved
on a desperate expedient.
Site became ill. For several days she
was confined to her room. We thought
it only a tomiiorary disorder till the phy

ner to bewho nart never, for a single
hour depended on herself for pleasure or
happiness. In this state of mind I one
day asked her If sho would llko to see
Harry Vane. Tho flushed choek and
quick glance told how grateful was tho
question, aud made-mo reproach myself
for not mentioning tho subject before.
Ho camo of course at my request; my
slightest wish had become his law, but
his stay was very brief.
A few days passed and then I, know
ing tho pleasure his visit had afforded,
desired him to see her again.
Ho had scarcely entered tho room
when I was summoned away and they
wero left alone. Precisely what passed
In that strange interview I never lmew,
but euough I gleaned to assure me that
Louise made him believe that her illness
and approaching death sho told him
sho was dying were caused by his in
difference. Sucli statements could but mako a
powerful impression on his hlghlyfiensi
tivo nature.
He was bound by no, promise to me,
and possibly not knowing the madness
of my love pledged himself to her.
I do not think her sickness had been
entirely feigned. Pride and chagrin had
so preyed on her mind as to produce a
slight Illness, of which she had availed
herself to tho utmost.
Day by day she grew stronger. In a
little while she was able to leave her
room, and soon, tho weather becoming
milder, to take a short drive.
Harry was her constant companion.
I do not believe he loved her. I do not
believe it now; but a feeling of chivalry
prompted him to devote himself to the
woman who, for his sake, had ventured
on the doubtful borders of the grave.
I did not learn all at once. It was
some time before tho full conviction
dawned on me, and then I hated her.
All my fine theories were blown to tho
wind. I felt and knew that the love for
which sho pined with the wantonness of
a spoiled child was to mo life itself.
Sho left us. Spring came, and with
it a letter from Louiso asking me to
come to her homo and be her brides
maid. Sho was to bo married early in
May.
I went, of course. I found Louise jnst
as I had expected to find her proud of
her conquest, and yet half dreading the
man who, in the intercourse of married
life, would soon fathom her wortldess
heart.
We rode out ono bright, sunny morn
ing to enjoy the. pure air and visit the
cataract, which the recent rains had
Bwolleu to a miniature Niagara.
Iy bright morning had a fearful end
ing. After half an hour's rapid riding we
reined our horses in on the edge of a
steep bank overlooking a beautiful rivu
let. The' scene below was delightful.
The sparkling water, the white pebbles,
the green moss anisweet violets made a
picture never to bp. forgotten.
''We must have some of those flowers
as souvenirs of ojar ride," Harry re
marked, as he directed his horse down
the declivity.
- He bad reached the margin of the
brook, dismounted, and was about to
gather the violets, when a loud shriek
from Louise caused both him and me to
turn our eyes toward her.
From some cause her horse had be
come restive and she not being able to
control him had darted off at a rapid
pace along the road.
The animal dashed along like the
wind, and, although having a surer
horse and being a better rider, I was
obliged to use every exertion in order to
overtake her.
At first my only anxiety was lest she
should fall from the saddle, but soon the
appalling sound of the cataract met my
ears, while at the same instant a wild
cry from Louise assurred me that she,
too, was aware of her danger.
I urged my horse forward. I was at
her side; to save her now required scarce
ly au exertion, when, like a flash of
lightning, the Prince of Darkness whis
pered in my ear, "If she dies there is
none between you and Hairy Vane's
love." With a sudden jerk I reined in
my horse, and Louise dashed on,
A now sound greeted me. I turned
and Baw Harry Vane tearing madly
along the road. He passed me, and as
his eye met mine I saw that he had wit
nessed and understood my murderous
act.
Never shall I forget that scene.
Louise swaying wildly in her saddle on
the mad animal, dashing frantically on
to destruction. Harry Vane, badly
mounted, yet by nlnjost superhuman ex
ertion gaining on her, and I gazed spell
bonnd after both.
Scarcely an instant had passed when
the enormity of my crime sent a shudder
through my frame.
'I am better mounted than either and
ean save her yet," I muttered, as I urged
my horse, forward.
I passed Harry, reaohedonce more the
side of Louise and hM my arm ex
tended to save her, when suddenly my
horse stumbled, slipped and fell head
long to the earth- I started to my feet,
saw Vane go by, grasp wildly at
Louise already on the edge of the chasm,
saw his horse stumble and all go over
the brink into the fearful abyss below.
