DREAD TO SAVfe FROM DRdWNiNO.
A SupurntlUo.t i'lint PrtHWlU II fn
ciien Tliitt Could lie Miutp I'.iixlly.
A stroiiR nn(linthy 01100 prevailed to
rcsono n drowning mnn, tliu lilcn bolnu;
Hint tlio person wived would sooner or
Inter do some sort of Injury to tlio mnn
who preserved his life. Sir Wnltcr Soott,
In "Tlio l'lrnto," tells how Dryco, tlio
peddler, refused to help Mordnunt snvo
tlio Rlilpwrookcd Bailor from drowning nnd
oven romonstrntod with litm on tho rash
11033 of audi a deed.
"Aro you mnd," unld tlio pcddlor, "you
that hnvo lived mo Ihiir In Zotliiml, to risk
tlio biivIiik of a drowning inniif Wot yo
not, If yo brliiK littn to life ntr.ln, ho will
ho atiro to do you somo Inluryf"
Thin prejudice, which wns deeply rooted
among our hoiikoIiib comiiiiiiilty In many
parts of tlio country, existed not vory long
ugo In Cornwall. It Is found, too, nmong
French sullors and tho boatmen of tlio
Danube nnd Is widely oredlted In Hussln.
Mr. Iiarry In his "Ivan at Homo' ' gives a
striking Instance of tho ropugnanco of tho
ilusslans to caving Ilfo from drowning.
Quo uny a drunken man walked Into tho
water and disappeared. A number of spec
tators stood by nnd gazed on tho sceno
with tho utmost IndllToroiico, but no 0110
tried to rescue him, A court of Inquiry
was hold, hut as on ozamlnntlon no cross
was found on his neck a verdict wns
quickly agreed upon by tho villagers, who
declared that tho man was "drowned bo-
oauso ho had no cross upon his nook."
Tho Uohotnlnu UsJiorman shrinks from
snatching a drowning man from tho wa
ters, fearing that tho water demon will
take away his luok In Ashing and drown
him nt the first opportunity. This Is n
lingering survival of tho ancient signifi
cance of this superstition, tho explanation
being that tho water spirit Is naturally
angry nt being dospolled of his victim and
henceforth bears a speolal grudge against
tho unlucky person who has dared to
frustrate him. Thus when somo ono Is
drowned In Germany the remark Is mado,
"Tho rlvor spirit olnlms his yearly sacri
fice," or "Tho nix hos tokon him."
Out of Kurnpo also tho accidental
drowning of a ponon Is attributed to a
similar seizure, nnd tho Slamcso dreads
tho Pnuk, or water spirit, that seizes
bathors and drags them under to his
dwelling. Tho Sioux Indians havo a sim
ilar fancy and toll how men havo boon
drowned by Unk-Taho, tho water monster.
For tho. namo reason, lt appears, tho
Knmtachadales, far from helping a man out
of tho water, would drown him by foroo.
If reeoued by any chanco, no 0110 would
receive him into hla houso or give him
food.
The Chlneso reluctance to save a man
from drowning nrlsos from qulto a differ
ent belief, it being supposed that tho spirit
of a person who has met his death In this
way continues to lilt along the surface of
tho water until lt has oausod by drowning
tho death of a fellow creature. A China
man therefore who attempts to rescuo an
other from drowning Is consldored to in
our the hatred of tho unoasy spirit, which
is desirous, oven at tho oxpenseof a man's
life, to escape from Its wanderings. Bos

"Thcro Is soinothliiB whlcli I hnvo long
been wishing to toll you," writes n young
gpntloinnn who Is now nt Hildy, N. M.,
"but bomohow I novor succeeded In trans
porting myself Into tho right humor to do
so. This win a description of one of tho
principal nnd most onioyiiblo pastimes of
tho Kddy people. Tho folks hero have
various ways to lioguno tno monotony.
Thoy hnvo Unnccs, amateur tnentricnis,
hunting parties and badger lights, Badger
lights I Oh, what mortal nnguishhas been
caused by these cruel, cruel badger lights I
They nro of Texan origin, but aro now
praotlcod all ovor tho southwest.
"1 Had boon lieru nuout a wook wnen 1
noticed ono duy all the factory hands
grouping togother und talking about a
magnificent badger that n cow puncher, as
cowboys aro colled here, bad brought to
town. There wns to bo a badger light that
night. A dog was to light him to n finish.
Bets woro given and takon, bomohad seen
tho badger, and all know tho dog whlcli
was to fight him. I do not llko bloody
spectacles nnd deolded not to go, but heav
en willed lt othorwlso.
"On my way homo from work every
body on tho streets nppeared to bo spook
ing about nnd betting on tha badger light.
People had oomo In from tho country to
seo lt. Ono man was pointed out to mo ns
having bet ns much as $100 on tho light.
High botsworo transacted In my presence.
I decided to seo that fight, Two of my
frlonds enmo to my room aftor supper and
lnvltod mo to accompany them to tho fight.
When wo got down stairs, I nnticod the
wholo veranda of the hotel crowdeil with
a bolstorous, brawling, betting, disputing,
turbulent multitude.
"When wo left, this entire multitude
filed after us. Shopkeepers lolt their shops
tn their shirt sleuvos to join tho procession.
In thrco blocks tbo procession behind mo
had doubled In volume. I begnn growing
excited nnd believe. I should havo bet had
somo ono olloral to do so with mo. Whon
wo arrived at tho arena, a largo crowd wns
already waiting. Bottlng now went on
with fovorlsh excitement. I had lost track
of my friends In the uproar and therefore,
stood nsldo to contemplate, tho scene.
"The crowd hnd orranged ltsolf In a clr
olo with a largo open spaco In the center.
Within this spneo stood a box all olosed
up, n ropo reaching from tho Interior ex
tended diametrically across the open space.
I was told by some ono that tho badger
was In tho box and tho rope was tied to
him. When tho fight would begin, somo
ono would jerk tho badger by means ot
tho long ropo to about tho con tor of the
clrclo, and the dog would then attaok
him.
"Tho dog was now exhibited in tho clr
clo. My surprise, wns unspeakable when
I saw that our. Instead of a largo, fierce
animal lt was a slokly looking puny wn
tor spaniel. My sincere sympathy was at
onco enlisted with the dog.
"Preparations wore now mado for tho
bloody evont. Tho badger men Insisted
upon a careful examination of tho dog.
Somo old sport waltzed up and examined
tho dog's tooth, legs, noso and fur to see
if any pepper had been strewn Into It so
as to dlsablo tlio badger. After a careful
examination tbo dog was pronounced
O. K.
"A person wna now wanted to pull the
badger. It wns unanimously decided that
for this purposo an unbiased person was
nocessary, n person who had not bet on
tho fight. The badgor men refused to allow
n dog man to pull the badger lest ho should
lnjuro him by a too violent Jerk. Tho
dog men woro equally voolferous In their
refusal to allow a badger mun to pull him,
lest tho badgor man pull him into a posi
tion unfavorable for a sucoessful attack
by tho dog. A clamorous haggling now
ensued. It appeared to me that instead of
n badger fight wo might havo n free for all
fisticuff. Every ono who volunteered to
do tho pulling was for somo or another
reason voolferously rejected. Finally a
man walked through tho crowd in quest
of a porson suitable for tho purposo of
pulling the badger. Ho questioned many,
but always passed on. Finally bo came to
me. Ho asked ma If I had bet. No. He
asked rao other quostlons, to whloh ap
parently I gavo satisfactory answers. 1
wns Invited to pull. My heart throbbed,
as I did not wish tho task. 'But by not
yielding I would disappoint tho entire
crowd.' I reluctantly oonsontod.
"Immediately n storm of objections
nroso. This, howover, was finally quieted
down, and 1 took tho ropo. I got careful
Instructions how to proceed. I was to pull
just so, on tho count of 'thrco.' I trem
bled at tho thought that 1 might not ao
just so and havo a dozen or so six shooters

on my m opping farther down the mountain

A wreck at sea 9 not the only place
where' a life line is of importance.
There Is a life line for the sick, as well as
for the drowning man. It ia Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It is not a
cure-all, but it Is a scientific medicine that
goes to the fountain head of a number of
serious and fatal diseases. When a man
gets seriously sick, he can generally be
cured bv the rieht courso of treatment.
The treatment that cures many obstinate
chronic diseases consists of pure air, good
food, rational extcise, nnd the use of a
remedy that will strengthen the weak
stomach, correct the impaired digestion,
invigorate the liver and promote the as.
similation of the live-giving elements of
ik toou. .rue "Uoldcn Medical Discov
ery " accomplishes all these things.
'! A young man lav pale and motionless upon
(what neighbors called) his dying bed. Disease
of theluugs, liver com plaint, kidney trouble, aud
pleurisy were fast hastening him to the grave.
The doctors had given liim up to die. The
neighbors said, 'he cannot live. ' Oh, I would
not care to die, lie said, ' were it not for lea-ing
my dear wife and little child, but I know that X
must die.' A brother had presented him with
three bottles of medicine, but he had no faith iu
'patent medicines'; but, alter the doctors had
gvien htm up to uie and lie naa nanisnea every
hope of recovery, he said to his wife, ' dear wife.
I am going to die. there can be no harm now in
takluz that medicine. I will begin its use at
once." lie Qiu uegin to use it ana at nrst n
grew worse, but boon there came a change.
Slowlv but surely he got better. To-day that
ir r. Is ptro'v; a id b-althy nnd he owes his life
to that medicine. What was the medicine? It
was Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and
X, X,uther Martin, am the cured man. Dr.
XMerce, X thank you from the very depth of my
heart, for rescuing me from the grave." The
