BOONE AND THE INDIANS.
th Old Kentnrkr Ilnntrr Was a Frlsimer
la Their Hands For Months.
Boone frequently took to the field on
net expeditions against the savages.
Once vhen he end a party of other men
wore making; salt nt a lick, they were
surprised and carried off by the Indian.
The old hunter wan a prisoner with them
for some months, but finally made his
eacape and came home through the track
leas woods as straight as the wild pigeon
fllen. He was ever on the watch to ward
off the Indian inroads and to follow the
war parties and try to rescue the pris
oners. Once his own daughter and two other
girls who were with her were carried
off by a band of Indiana. Boone oollocted
some friends and followed them steadily
for two days and a night Then they
came to where the Indiana hnd killed a
buffalo calf and were camped. Firing
from a little distance, thoy shot two In
dians, and rushing in rescued the girls.
On another occasion, when Boone had
gone to risit a salt lick with his brother,
the Indians ambushed them and shot the
latter. Boone himself escaped, bnt the
Indians followed him for three miles by
the aid of a tracking dog, until Boone
turned, shot the dog and then eluded his
pursuers. In company with Simon Ken
ton and many of the noted hunters and
Wilderness warriors he once and agnin
took part in perilous expeditions into
the Indian country. Twioe bands of In
dians, accompanied by French, Tory
and British partisans from Detroit, bear
ing the flag of Great Britain, attacked
Boonesboro. In each case Boone and hia
fellow settlers beat them off with loss.
At the fatal battle of the Blue Licks,
In which 200 of the beat riflemen of
Kentucky were beaten with terrible
slaughter by a great force of Indians
from the lakes, Boone commanded the
left wing. Leading hia men, rifle in
hand, he poshed back and overthrew
the force against him. Bnt meanwhile
the Indians destroyed the right wing
and center and got In the rear, so that
there was nothing for Boone's men ex
cept to flee with all speed. Theodore
Roosevelt in St Nicholas.
WELLINGTON WAS WARNED.
A DMln Whloh Mlfht Bar Materially
Afltoetad tha Destiny of Earapa.
The story goes that Wellington used
to ride over daily, with one or two of
hia staff, from hia headquarters at St
Jean de Luz, and take his stand on the
top of a wooded sand hillock, called
Blano Fignon, on the left bank of the
Adour, which commands a view of both
banks and the town itself two miles up
srrenm. This had been noticed by the
French, who had still coninumd of the
river and the opposite shore, and tho
cealons sailor aforesaid, Bourgeois by
name, conceived the plan of entrapping
the great English captain by lying in
ambnsh for him, with a few men,
among the undergrowth on the sand
dune, which happened to be on nentral
ground Just outside the line of French
pickets.
General Thou venot very honorably de
clined to sanction this tricky proceeding,
but, seeing through his glasses from the
clock tower of the cathedral in Bayonue
that it was actually being carried out,
notwithstanding his disapproval, he sent
mounted orderly, as fast as he could
gallop, down the road on the left bank
of the river (the present site of the Al
ices Marines) post the French pickets,
to warn Wellington of his danger. The
message was just in time. When within
a short distance of the ambush, awaiting
him on the narrow little track winding
up the sand dune, he turned his horse
and moved quietly off in another direc
tion. So says the story, which, entirely be
lieved by the French, is placed on record
by Morel, declared in a footnote to be
correct, and then (1840) within the
memory of living witnesses. We can en
tirely agree with the author in his suc
ceeding remark, "Thus, by one of those
strange chances beyond all human ex
planation, there fell through a design
which might have materially changed
the course of events. " Macmillun's

Crednlltr of Baulaa Peasantry.
A writer in a French review tells a
curious story serving to show the misery
and credulity of the peasantry in some
districts of Russia, as well as the au
dacity of the unscrupulous swindlers by
whom they are sometimes fleeced. An
adventurer was recently tried at Saratof
for having induced a number of peasanta
to abandon to hia keeping all their world
ly possessions, with the view of emi
grating under his guidance to Jupiter.
There they were to find land in abun
dance, easy to work and marvelously fer
tile. When the local authorities inter
vened, it was found that quite a band of
emigrants were preparing to start for
the blessed planetary colony. We are not
told what defense was made by the pris
oner, but it was quite apparent that his
dupes were aware that it was to no ter
restrial land of promise that he waa to
lead them. He waa therefore indicted
and condemned for "spreading false re
ports about Jupiter." Westminster Ga-

"Don't you think it about time for
Mabel to consider tho subjeot of matri
mony?" ho nsked hesitatingly.
"Oh, there is plenty of time," replied
his wife. "Mnbel is very ambitions,
yon know, mid she is used to certain so
called luxuries that she would dislike
to givo up. "
"Well, frankly, I think she is work
ing too hard."
"Oh, uo, the isn't It will do net
good. And since she won that ease in
the supreme court her Income has been
steadily increasing. If she continues to
do as well in her profession, she may be
able to think of marriage in a year or
so. You see, tilings have changed since
we were married."
"Indeed they have," he sighed.
"Then a girl's beauty, temperament
and accomplishments had more to dc
with her matrimonial chances, bnt it it
very different now, very different in
deed. Mabel is not yet the prize that I
wish her to be, and I doubt if she could
be sure of gutting the kind of husband
that I dosiro her to have. The best
yonng men are very particular, you
know. "
"Very true, " ho admitted.
"Many of them Oill hardly look nt a
girl whosii earning capacity is not (4,

with me that it is best to wait until sbf

tola Pill.
There Uvea in a town not far from
here in fact, it ia at Skaueuteles a
couple who think a good deal of each
other, and when one is ill the other does
everything in the world for her or his
welfare. Not long ago the husband was
taken ill, and his wife ruinmsged around
to find some medicine in the house. Fi
nally she came across a box of little
block pills. There was no writing on the
cover of the box to toll what they were,
but as they resembled a certain liver pill
the wife concluded that they must be
the required thing. She gave them to
her hubby regularly, and he seemed to
improve. About a week after, when he
had got down to the last pill, he chanced
to turn the box over. Ho gave a yell
that startled the whole neighborhood.
His wife ran to him, thinking that he
was dying. "Look," he cried. "Read

In his reminiscences of the Crimea, in
18S4, General Sir Evelyn Wood tells a
story of a fighting general who, during
a conflict, waa seen wherever bullets
fell most thickly. When not visiblo, his
voice was heard encouraging his men
with "a vocabulary borrowed from 'the
army in Flanders,' " which Sir Evelyn
says will not bear repetition. "Years
after he was appointed to tho Aldershot
command, and her majesty happened to
ask, 'Has the new general yet .taken up
his command?' 'Yes, your majesty,' was
the apt reply; 'he swore himself in yes-

WE TELL
THE TRUTH.
JUDGE) - US - BY - OUR - WORK!
Judging from the big crowds continually surrounding our clothing counters, and from the masses of people that crowd into our store daily, would lead a person to
believe that there is no other clothing house in the town. Why? Because we tell the truth and show the goods to correspond with our advertisement. Truly we save every pur
chaser big money. Gentlemen who read our advertisement came with great expectations and not one of them went away disappointed nor dissatisfied. Of course our success has
stirred up a lot of imitators who have attempted by misrepresentation to pull the trade towards themselves, but misrepresentation is one thing and truth is another. The truth that tells
in this case is that no such values in clothing are obtainable in any store in the county, only at MILLIREN'S, as we are now offering.
Our former purchase of clothing was only an infant when compared with the mighty invoice that arrived last week. That we sold, in the beginning of our former
sale, more suits of clothing in one day than any other house in town, is a true fact.
Surprised !
When some of our ciiHtomers come in and see these
Bargains they exclaim, " How do you sell so cheap V " Thut
is easily answered. We buy from two of the most famous
factories in the world and pay cash and soli for cash. Unlike
all other clothiers, we don t rely on Printer's Ink to make
our stilus, but let the goods tell their own story.
HIGHEST CLASS!
Every fastidious and most particular dresser knows
that we make a specialty of highest class roady-to-woar
suits, goods that have baen mudo from tho Choicest Imported
Woolens, cannot be beaton by the most expensive tailor
work. Comparison of theso goods is out of the question as
no other clothing houso takes the rink of handling such extra
high quality goods.

A.11 Wool!
Every well-posted wearer of men's wearing apparol In
Roynoldsvllle knows there is no place whoro more honoBt
clothing values are obtainable than at Millihkn's. He who
is well dressed is well satisfied, if ho don't pay too much for
his clothing. An ill-fitting garment is dear at any price.
Good clothes are worth what they cost if bought at a
rcliablo clothing house like MlLLIKEN'S.
NO FAKE!
In these days of fake advertisements we deem It wiso
and expedient to state the fact that what we say Is true
and we state it boldly and in such a way that It cannot be
misconstrued: the superiority of the materials of our
goods speak for themselves.
