GOLDEN LOCKS.
NCE upon a time
there lived in
aT \ Bohemia an old
f king, a widower,
. 1 J without children.
V J Being no longer
able to hunt or
_ engage in wars,
he spent his time'
"'* la study, that he
■ might become
wise. He also
publicly announced that auv one who
would reveal to him any new science
would be magnificently rewarded. Men
came from all directions, who pretended
to know marvelous things, but all proved
to be without merit. A poor woman
called one day with a little basket on
her arm. The guard refused her en
trance. but finally yielded to her entrea
ties. When presonted to the king she
said: '•! have a husband who is unable
to work and several feeble children un
able to earn a living. A good fairy pitlod
me and made me a present, which I wish
to give you, and for which, she said, you
would pay me well."
As she spoke she drew from the basket
a pretty littlejserpent with diamoud oyes,
ahead green as glass, the rest, of "the
body blue as the sky. "If you will have
this serpent cooked and eat the whole of
it," said the woman, "you will be the
sole possesor of a wonderful science.
The poor woman's honest appearance
so impressed the king that lie did not
wait for tho result of the experiment,
but ordered a large sum of money to be
given her. Then he called an officer for
whom ho had the greatest uffeetion and
said to him:
"Stephen, I have a strange but most
Important order to give you, which you
must execute with great care. You will
have this scrpcpt roasted by my head
cook; see thnf flo ouo lastes it, aud when
it is done bring it to me—understand?
If any one tastes it he shall die."
"Oh! oh!" thought Stephen. "Death
f<?r so small a matter. There must he
some mystery. I will find it out.'
So as he brought in the serpent he
placed his linger on it and slyly slipped a
small piece into his mouth. That mo
ment, as lie entered the hall, whose win
dows were open, lie heard the birds talk
ing among themselves and relating the
news of the da v.
After dinner the king mounted his
horse to take a ride, and Stephen ac
companied him. In the midt of a vast
plain Stephen's lioise suddenly gave a
great leap and said to Ids companion :
"Oh. how light I feel! I could leap
over that hill."
"And 1 also." replied the king's horse.
"I would willingly, but I carry an old
man on my back, who might fall and
break his neck."
"Let him fall! You would then'have
a young man instead of an old one."
As Stephen listened ho could not re
strain a laugh. That betrayed him to
the king. It was evident that he under
stood the language of animals, evident
also that he must have tasted the ser
pent. Vexed at this discovery and un
easy at the disposition of his horses, the
king returned to the city.
As he alighted from his horse at the
palace gates two birds flew toward him;
one held in his beak three golden hairs,
the other pursued him crying:
"A SERPENT WITH DIAMOND EVES."
"Givo mo back my hairs; they belong
to me; I saw them fall first when the
princess combed her hair," and ho tried
to take them from his companion.
In the struggle one fell on the ground
with a metallic sound. The king turnod
to Stephen and said :
"You know you are condemned to
death for disobeying my orders, but I
will pardon you if vou will go in search
of the princess with the golden locks
and bring her back with you so that I
may marry her."
Stephen, of course, glad to eseapo so
easily, consented, but pursued his way
sadly. Whereto look for the princoss,
and when found how to persuade her to
marry the old king—how accomplish
this? "I will trust to luck," he said, as
he went on.
Passing through a forest ho saw a pile
of brushwood which some one had set on
tire. Near it was an ant hill which was
in danger of being burned.
"Save us I" oriedtho ants, "or we shall
perish!" Stephen extinguished the lire
with some moist earth. •
"Thanks," said the ants. "Some day
we may be of service to you."
A little further on Stephen saw two
young crows crying at the foot of a pine
treo. "Help us," they said, "we aro too
small to find food for ourselves. If yon
do not "give us something to eat wo will
die."
At th{it moment a huge panther sprang
from a'thlcket, growling at Stephen, who
drew bis sword and burled it into the
animal's heart. ".There Is a good meal
fot&ow," ho said to tho little orows, and
they replied:
"Oft, thank you. Wiion you are in
trouble we may perhaps be able to ren-
a service.
Stephen went ou until he caste to •
great lake. Upon the bank of thin twe
fishermen were quarreling.
"That fish is mine, eald one of them;
It was caught in my net."
"Without my boat what good would
your net have been to you?" said the
other. "Qlve me this fish ; the next one
caught will he yours."
"No, I will not wait."
Stephen upproached and said: "Sell
the fish to me, then you can divide the
The fishermen consented and Stephen
gave them all the money he had for the
fish, which he then throw back into the
water. Then he heard it say:
"Thanks. If you are ever in need of
me I will come to you."
"Where are you going?" asked the
fishermen of Stephen.
"I am seeking for tho old king, my
master, the princess with the golden
locks, and I do not known where to find
her."
"You are nearly at your journey's end;
she is tho daughter of tho king of the is
land which you see there on the lake.
Every morning she coiubs her long locks
und they make the clouds and the water
glisten like gold. We will tow you to
the shore of the island. But take care
that you make no mistake. The king
hAs twelve beautiful daughters; one
alouo has the golden locks, and they will
all appear before you with their heads
covered with a veil."
Stephen presented himself before the
sovereign of the isle and requested the
honil of the princess of tlie golden locks
for his master, the old king.
"Very well," said tho monarch. "I
will give her to you if in three days you
accomplish three tusks. Tomorrow you
shall commence."
Tho next day he said: "Mydaughter
Zolotaska has a magnificent necklace of
pearls, which, by the string breaking, are
lost in the gruss: find them all, without
leaving a single i ne."
Stephen searched tho field from morn
ing until noon.
"Ah !" lie cried, "if my ants were only
here!"
"Here we are," cried innumerable little
voices, and the ants began to run in all
directions. In a few moments they
"HE CONDUCTED HER TO THE KINO,"
brought a great quantity of pearls.
Stephen threaded them and was going to
tie the string when an old ant who had
been burned by the fire limped along with
one more. Stephen thanked his tiny
friends and carried the necklace to the
king, who declared it complete. The
next day he said :
"My daughter lot. a precious ring fall
into tho lake. You must find it."
Stephen gazed into the waters of the
lake, out they were so deep lie couldn't
see the bottom.
"Oh!"he said, "if ray fish were only
here."
"Here I am," replied a silvery voice;
"what can I do for you?"
"I want the ring the Princess Zolo
taska lost in the lake."
Plunging into I tie water, the fish re
turned in an instant with the ring to
Stephen, who gave it to the king.
"Now," said lie to Stephen, "I have
only one thing more to ask of you. (Jo
seek A flask of the water of death and a
flask of the water of life."
"Ah!" said Stephen, "where shall I
find a flask of this marvelous wator? If
; my crows wore only here."
"Here wo are 1" cried the crows. "Wait
a moment. You shall have them."
They were gone but a short time and
j returned with two Masks.
Returning to the palaeo, on the web.
i he threw a drop of the water of death
i upon tho spider aud a drop of the water
of life upon the My, who immediately re
vived and said to him :
"Without mo you could not recognize
Zolotaska among her sisters. I will
point her out to you by alighting on her
shoulder."
When Stephen entered with his two
flasks the king said:
"You have dono well; I will permit
you to take my daughter to your master.
Come with me."
The king led him into a vast hall, in
the middle of which stood a long table,
and seated at this were twelve beautiful
young girls, wearing veils that com
pletely concealed their hair. How could
he choose?
Suddenly ho heard a buzzing sound;
the fly had came to his aid, and soon
rested on tho shoulder of the fourth girl.
Her veil fell and her golden locks fell
over her beautiful shoulders. Stephen
gazed in amazement. How lovely she
was! How happy he would have been
had he been permitted to marry her.
But ho could not forgot his duty.
He conducted her to tho king, his mas
ter. The old king looked ot her with ad
miration, and listened with emotion to
the story of Stephen's adventures; then,
extending his hand, lie said to him:
"For disobedienco I condemned you to
death. I was wrong. You are brave
and faithful, and merit a reward. You
shall liavo it. I am too old to marry
this beautiful girl; she shall be your
wife. I have no children; you shall be
my son and my succossor."
The happy Stephen married the prin
cess of the golden locks, und after the
king's death mounted the throne, and all
bis subjects loved him.

CATARRH,
Catarrhal Daatnass ami riay Fevar.
A NEW HOME TREATMENT.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence o£ living parasites in
the lining membrane of the nose and eus
tachian tubes. Microscopic research, how
ever, lias proved this to be a tact and the
I result is that a simple remedy lias been fov
i undated whereby catarrh, catarrhal deafness
and hay lever are permanently cured in
from oiie to three simple applications made
• at home by the patient once in two weeks.
N. 11.—For catarrhal discharges peculiar to
females (whites) this remedy is a specific.
A pamphlet explaining this now treatment
is sent on receipt of ten cents by A. 11.

HOW IT WORKED.
" Good morning, Jack ! why 1 haven't
seen you for a month past. What in the
world is the matter with you ? You seem
to have renewed your youth."
" Weil Phil, I have. Don't you remem
ber the last time I saw you, how misera
ble I was ? Sick and blue, anil iu that
sort of mood a man gets sometimes when
lie feels the most noble tiling in life is to
go straight to the devil."
" Not so had as that, I hope ; at all
events you didn't go that way, you are
looking far too happy and hearty."
" Thank goodness, no .' or rather, thank
Vinegar Bitters. Do you remember that
day I saw you last, when you recommend
ed that remedy to me so persistently, and
I was first vex aland then half convinced."
1 remember it perfectly, and you
needn't say another word upon the sub
ject ; your looks tell me that you took the
medicine."
"No doubt of it: everybody remarks
upon my improved looks aud temper; but
I must really tell you all about it. I got
t lie old style, as you recommended, a in 1
didn't mind the hitter taste at all. I fin
ished the bottle in about two weeks, and
was greatly improved, so much so that
I determined to change off aud try the
new style.
" Well, how did you like it?"
" You told me your wife preferred th
new style, I believe; well, I must say lagre
with her. I like the old style very much
hut the new is a finer, smoother, more ex
pensive preparation."
" I believe it is ; in fact, I have heard
si, and 1 wonder the McDonald Drug
Company sell it for the same price they
do the old style, because it is really a very
costly preparation."
" A'eli, that dosn't concern us. Who
was it said that people fancied themselves
pious sometimes when they were only
bilious ? No matter ! I was only going to
say that I believe people often seem wicked
wiien it is only their liver, or their stom
ach, or some other cantankerous organ of
the body so nut of order they couldn't be
good if tliey tried."
" And if all the miserable dyspepsia,
and victims of biliousness, headache and
the thousand and one ills that flesh is heir
to would only take Vinegar Bitters, wiiat
a happy world this would he 1 "
" I should recommend the new style."
" I never go back on the old style."
" Weil, they'can nay their mo icy and
take their choice, for both kinds work ad
mirably."
