THE DEADWOOD STAGE.
The Wild West show have among
their properties an old stage, an un
comforable looking vehicle, yet it was
to just such staged that travelers a few
years ago were obliged to trust them
selves when moving from one point
of the far western country to another.
It was just such a 6tage that ran be
tween Denver and Deadwood City,
and which Captain Jim I lux table and
his men were in the habit of halting
and rubbing whenever they felt the
need of money. Even the hardy pros
pectors accustomed to taking big
chances in their lives hesitated before
undertaking the journey to Deadwood,
&nd for a woman to do Eiich a thing
was almost unheard of.
At the time when Captain Jim IIux
table was at the very height of his
evil reputation, when scarcely a stage
got through the mountains without at
least a desperate struggle with the
road agents, an old lady presented her
self at the office of the Deadwood
Stage company, in Denver and desired
to engage a scat for the next day. The
clerk opened his eyes with astonish
ment at the old lady's temerity, and
ventured to ask if she knew what
she was undertaking. Very well the
old lady knew, and she had no idea of
being purtuaded from her purpose.
Her son, she said, was out there in
Deadwood City. She had not seen
him for ten years, and now that she
had come all the way from Georgia to
take him by surprise, nothing short of
death should stop her on the road.
The next day w lieu the stage started
for Deadwood the old lady was in her
place. There were only three other
passengers two stalwart pioneers
with all their worldly goods tied up in
their blankets and a gentlemanly-look
ing man in black who sat directly op
posite the old lady. At first the three
men looked on their fellow-passenger
of the opposite Bex with evident doubt
To travel over a rough country full of
dangers with - a timid woman who
might throw herself on their protection
at the first symptom of anything unus
ual was far from an alluring prospect.
At the end of the first day's travel,
however, all such fears were dispelled
by the conduct of the old lady. Fully
able to take care of herself, undaunted
by the discomforts of stage travel, and
willing to take an interest in everything,
she toon proved herself a pleasant
companion and anything but a burden.
The two prospectors and the lady
were on intimate terms of friendship
by the middle of the second day. The
gentlemanly looking man in black, on
the other hand, maintained a stoical
reserve. When questioned on any
subject he answered but never joined
in the conversation, and if he listened
to what was said he had no appearance
of doing so. Most of his time was
passed sunk back in the corner of the
stage, with his eyes closed, apparently-
asleep When . the foot hills
were reached and the dangerous part
of the journey was about to
begin, the conversation naturally
turned to the daring deeds of Captain
Jim Huxtable. The prospectors told
story after story of how the outlaw
had first appeared years before in the
northern part of Colorado, here for a
time he was lost sight of, and then
again had made his appearance on this
occasion in the vicinity of Deadwood
only more terrible than before, be
cause he had with him a companion as
reckless of all danger and as willing to
take human life as himself. They told
of incidents when these two had halted
a stage load of men, and while one
of them kept the passengers and guards
quiet at the point of his rifle the other
had deliberately cut the mail bags, ex
tracted their contents and robbed the
ti-rrified passengers of everything val
uable they had about them. Gradu
ally other outlaws had gathered round
their standard until they were the
leaders of as dangerous a band as ever
terrorized a country. The prospectors;
said that Captain Jim Haxtable's part
ner was only known as Captain Sid;
this information was obtained by hear
ing his companions call him so wlvn a
robbery was in progress. The fea
tures of both men were unknown, as
they invariably wwi handkerchiefs
over their facet when "holding up' a
stage. The man in black paid little
attention to these stories, and, save for '
. ' t
an impatient movement occasionally
when some other anecdote was told
be appeared not to notice what was be
ing said. Once or twice he muttered .Art summer afield, all winter in

lain side she tola her fellow travelers
shout her boy. He had been a little
wild in the far-away home in the
south she admitted, and when people
began to look at hiin askance he had
Jecided to go out west, where no nar

letters came more rarely and told of
disappointed hoi.es. Then they ceased
iltogether. The lady told how
aer agony grew to be almost

sent his old mother money, until she
iad been able to save enough to come
md take him by surpise. It was to thank
'his inachless friend that the old lady had
joine west, as well as to see her boy.
Then she told of the two men's meet
ing as it had been related to her in
letters from her boy. Her son had
ocen employed near Leadville in a
line. He was discharged, and deter
mined to go prospecting through the
mountains by himself. His usual bad
uok followed him. His provisions
5ave out, and then for days he wan
iered about bruising his shoeless feet
against tho sharp rocks of the inoun
;ains, and only kept alive by the few
merries he found in his way ; finally he
ay down to die too weak to move
further and utterly hopeless of any
lelp reaching hiin. Gradually his
lenses left him and he became uncon
scious. When he came to himself the
face of a stranger was leaning over
tiim, a hand wag holding a flask to his
swollen lips and a friendly voice was
celling hiin to drink. The letters
spoke of the stranger as Jim, and it
was on this Jim that the strongest
feelings of gratitude were lavished by
.he mother miles away. He not only
saved her boy's life but he cared for
sirn when he got well, took him into
partnership and euabled him to satisfy
lis ambitions. The old lady had
.lever even heard the man's last name,
jut next to her boy she said she loved
Jim best of all the world and was aux
ous to get to Deadwood to tell him
to. When this good mother had fin
shed her story she found the eyes of
;he gentlemanly looking man fixed on
ier with an almost terrified expression.
When he saw, however, that he was
observed he restrained himself and
sank back into his corner in the same
jld listless attitude.
That night the stage with its four
passengers reached the very heart of
the mountains. But a change had ap
parently come over the travelers. For
:he first time the old lady and the two
prospectors slept peacefully, and the
gentlemanly man in black gazed eager
ly into the dark night from the window
it his side. Suddenly a number of
figures sprang into the road, a voice
commanding and stern ordered a halt,
and a dozen pistols were jioiiited at
the driver and through the windows of
the stage. For a moment the traveler
in black seemed surprised, then throw
ing the door open by which he sat, he
sprang into the road, and before a
shot could be fired at him his voice
rang out above every other sound.
"Stop I" he cried, "its me! It's Cap
tain Jim !" For a moment he stood
by the side of the stage surveying the
masked men who, at the first sound of
his voice, had lowered their weapons.
His eyes finally rested on a figure
taller than the rest, standing near the
horses' heads. In a few peremptory
words he ordered the two prospectors
who had been his fellow travelers to
alight. When they had obeyed, Cap
tain Jim strode to the figure he had
singled out, and seizing him by the
arm dragged him to the stage door.
Then he tore the handkerchief from
his struggling companion's face, lifted
hiin bodily into the stage, saying as he
did so: "Damn you, Sid, get in there
and hug your old mother."
As Captain Jim led his men and tlir
two prospectors away from the stage,
the lady's voice from inside followed
them, crying: "My boyl my boy'
thank God I"

eomuK season ana our plants ana
flowers for winter-blooming.
I The choice of varieties must rest witn
each person s tastes and means, and th
florists are now sending; ont their falj
catalogues giviug almost bewildering
variety of plants and bnlbs with direo.
tions for treatment and description oi
plant.
Of hardy bulbous plants, the first to
bloom is the winter aconite, unfolding!
its crowded veil .w flowers before the
snow is gone. This is also very desir-j
able for pot culture and is a most at-(
tractive flower for either purpose.
Bulbs are offered at 5 cents each or at
less price bv the dozen.
Next in order of bloom is the chiono-
dexa, "glory of the snow." It is a na
tive of Asia Minor ana throws np
spikes of deep porcelain blue flowers
with small white eyes. In its native
htunts there are several varieties of,
this most attractive little flower but
florists, at present offer only the blue'
variety, U. Liuoillae. As a winter
bloomer this plant will also be found
satisfactory.
Next come the Scillaa who?e sprays
of graceful blue flowers attract atten
tion, and are lovely in bouqnets with
the pretty drooping blossoms oi onow
diop. These last named bulbs may be
procured for from 20 to 50 cents per
dozen, and are as attractive in the house
as in the garden bed.
The Snowtlake (Leuoojum) much re
sembles the delicate sno drop but is
larger and blooms somewhat later. It
has a white flower with pale green spot
and has a peculiar ana delicate fra
grance.
Crocuses begin to appear before the
frost is fairly gone. X heir bloom is
ephemeral and they close in the shade
so that they are not very desirable as
cnt flowers, but they come so early and
bloom so brightly on the lawn that one
can scarcely afford to be without them.
florists furnish these bnlbs at the low
price of 15 cents per dozen.
N( thing is more charming than hya
cinths either for the house or gnrden.
Their delicate spikes of pink or blue or
white, are so deliciously fragrant a d
they last so long that there is nothing
more satisfactory lor general cult re.
There are many different varieties, and
may be procured as low as 75 cents.per
dozen in nnnamea varieties.
The tulip is tl.e most brilliant and
popular of all the so-called Dutch bulbs
ana may be had in Hue showy varie
ties from 35 cents to $1.50 a dozen,
coming in late and early varieties.
The crown imperial, (Fritillaria iru-
perlalis) is a hardy and beautiful plant
of very easy culture.
The vannnculus may be cultured
with tolerable success in the gar
den if good drainage be provided and
are easily cultivated iu the house.
They require shade and moisture.
Besides these early flowering plants
there are many other well worth the
trying to be found among the florists'
novelties and specialties, but except foi
the pleasure of the watching the de
velopment of a new flower, there can
be nothing prettier or more attractive
than the old favorites: snowdrop, cro
cus, hyacinth ana scilla, and any gar
den bed may be made gay and bright
irom late March nntil the middle ol
May with these tried and well-known
flowers.

sonhowy and pleasing in their habit that
they pay well for the care bestowed,

places in the garden during the sum

An exchange gives some valnulilt
hints on the potting of geraniums foi
winter blooming:
"There are frequent complaints from
ladies who do not succeed satiafactorily
in their window gardening so far as tht
blooming of geraniums is concerned.
In most cases the fault is that flowers
are expected either from plants that
bloomed in the summer or that were
st.rted too late in the season. If plants
are repotted in the fall they are checked
iu their growth, and although the buds,
already set may open, new ones will not
be formed nntil the plant has bad a
resting time. If new plants are started
in mid-summer and repotted early they
will not attain sufficient strength to
bloom nntil late in winter.
if good blooming plants in wintet
are wanted, small plant should be
planted early in the season, in this lati
tude about the middle of .May, in an
open snnny place, giving them plenty
of room. Permit no blossoming, and
keep the shoots well trimmed in, mak
ing a well shaped plant. Lift in Au
gust and put in pots not too large, then
plunge them in the ground. Let the
hole in the bottom of the pot stand on
a bit of stone or board, to prevent the
roots growing through, or worms get
ting into the potts. Keep the shoots
pinched in. If tbey are wanted to
blossom I efore December, push them
with manure water not too strong. Ii

American Garden thus recommends
the nse of tin cans for this purpose,
which is very encouraging to the farm
er's wife who has already utilized
these hitherto useless receptaloes and
transformed thein into a thing of bean-
"They are jnst the thing for house

CO-OPE KAT1VE HOUSEKEEPING
A new idea in cooperative housekeep
ing is about being inaugurated here,
in J the movement will no doubt be
watched with considerable interest.
Albert Thalheimer, a well-known
manufacturer and real estate owner, is
at the head of it. At the initial meet
ing, held last night (August 11), con
siderable enthusiasm was shown, and
the project rs have no doubt of its
sucoi-sh. If it results in all that they
elitim for it, its influence in bringing
about revolutionary changes in house
keeping will undoubtedly be wide
spread. The idea of the project is to
establish a community of persons and
their fain-lies on a tract of sixty acres,
aud the site selected is on Alt. Penn
above this city. A draft of the plan
was mbni.tted to the initial meeting,
and an architect will be employed to
prepare detailed drawings. 'J he tract
is circular in form, witU two circular
carriage drives, one 40 feet wide, en
circling the entire tract, and the other
30 feet wide, around the central build
ings. The stockholders are to be limited
to about 25 men, with families. Each
is to purchase not less than one acre of
trrouud, on which to erect a dwelling
houe and lay ont his property in good
i.rder. In the centre of the tract are
to be pnt np large buildings, to be
need as a dining hall, library, and
read n?-roms, ten-pin alley and other
apartments which can be used in com
mon, while croquet, lawn tennis and
ball grounds are to be located near by.
All the cooking for the entire commu
nity, over 100 persons, is to be done in
the main central building. A compe
tent cook, with assistants, is to have
charge of all meals and the dining hall,
and the expenses are to fall on the
families in proportion to their number.
All the honses are to stand back 50 feet
irom the 30-foot carriage drive, aud
fa:e towards the central buildings, and
the stables will be in the rear or outer

Tbe liver, the kidneys, the heart, the lungs
and the stomach are the most Important organs
necessary for the preservation ot Ma. It is
therefore the duty of everyone who cares at all
for his bodily health to keep them In as good
condition as possible. But while the heart , the
lungs and the stomach in an ordinary constitu

without stopping in their work, the llvei ts a
very sensitive organ. The least interrup
tion In its activity is noticed at once In a
most disagreeable manner. Serious com
plications may arise therefrom, for which the
physicians have invented a large number
of long Ijttin names, and which. If not
attended to promptly, are followed by long
and painful diseases and frequently by
death. Ordinary people usually class all these
diseases under the general name of
liver complaint. Tlielr symptoms can be
easily recognized. A yellow color ot tbe
skin, particularly of the white of the eye,
a disagreeably bitter bilious taste In the
mouth, a thickly-coated tongue, loss of appe
tite, a dislike for meats, combined with head
ache, light attacks of fever, etc., these are an
failing signs tnat tbe liver is out of order. As
soon as one or more of these symptoms appear
It is necessary. In order to prevent a serious
sickness, to remove from tbe liver all super
fluous bile and all waste matter, to promote
tbe free circulation of the blood, ant to gently
stimulate the capricious appetite. There Is no
better remedy to accomplish this purpose than
fit. Bernard egetable Pills, which bave been
Justly celebrated for a long time. They are
