The Germnn laws regulating the sale of poisons nre very strict. Until these laws were enacted It wns quite easy to obtain mlnernl nnd vegetable preparations of all kinds nt nny drug store nnd the number of suicides from poison reached nlarmlng proportions. Now chemists nre not permitted to sell even tho poisons required In the process of manufacturing certain legi timate products without a physician's prescription. This Is n good thing for the doctors. Kvon a physician Is In hibited from leaving around poisons In bottles or enses in his rooms. He must provido a locked cupboard or suffer fine nnd even Imprisonment.

Grace Kllery Cliiumlng. r .A. x Ann fmiu vrai kiury.f In the country of the grent Apnche nation, the snvnge lords of Northern Mexico, by the clear swift waters of the Olla river nnd within the shadows of the wooded sides of the bold-penked, crooked White Mountain range, a small band of daring, whlte-sklnned adven turers were encamped. The camp was on a little Island in tho center of the stream. Few white men had set foot within thnt valley; fewer still had lived to tell of it; nnd yet the little band six, nil told lounged ns cnrelcs-ly by the river, ns If they were In civilization's center, instead of being Intruders upon the do main of the bravest race of savages that trend the soli of North America. Could It be possible that they knew not tlielr dinger? Were they not aware thnt the red Apnche braves guarded their hunting grounds with all the Jealousy of the Kastern monarch watching over his hundred wives? Had they not seen the thin columns of smoke stealing upward on the clear mountain nlr from hilltop nfter hilltop While they were penetrating farther nnd farther Into the wilderness? lld they not know thnt the smoke columns told every redskin within sight that a foe wns advancing nnd warned the snvago braves to prepare for blood nnd slaughter? Yes, the adventurers knew their dan ger only too well; cool and hardy moun tain men were they, well used to the custom of the Indians, mid not apt to run heedlessly Into danger. They knew the risk nnd boldly took the chances. A golden vision led them onward, and blindly they followed. There were rough Hen Todd, little Montana Mike, swarthy Dick Peters, the Keiitucklnn; old, burly Mountain Ned, the trapper; huge lienrded John Uuderdouk from 'Frisco and slender, bundsome Spanish Charley. "How niiieli farther?" asked Moun tain Ned, thoughtfully glancing up at the mountain peak thnf frowned down upon the little camp. "One more day's march and we will strike the mine," Spanish Charley re plied. "Are you quite sure there Is no mis take about the location?" tho old mountain mint asked, his face grave and his whole manner giving proof of great nnxlety, "Not a doubt of It," the young mnn replied, gayly. '"From two different parties I have received descriptions of the place, and I think you will own thnt I have exhibited a pretty knowl edge of tho country so far," "Yes, but we're running an awful risk," the old trappor observed, soberly. "The Indians nre hovering around us, thlcker'n 'skeeters In a blackberry patch. The tlrst thing we know, they'll try to lift our hn'r." "Did the Indians tell you of this mine?" demanded the Kcntucklun, ab ruptly, "Yes; perhaps you remember thnt I bod a little Injun wife about a year back." Spanish Charley said, with a laugh. She was n pretty little thing. I picked her out of the Gila one day when her pony hud upset her Into the drink, and, to make a long story short, she took a notion to your humble ser vant and left her tribe to live with me. She came of good blood, too; her father was tho old chief of the White Moun tain Apaches. She told me about the rich placer by the bend of the Gila and how the warriors of her tribe dug out the red metal to autke bullets for their guns. It must bo rich stuff, and pretty pure, too, for she always said It was more red than yellow and Unit her peo ple always termed the slugs red bul lets.' " "Whut ever beenme of her?" little Montana Mike asked suddenly. Spanish Charley appeared confused and hosltnted a moment "Well, to come to the rights of tho matter," he said, slowly, "we had some hot words one night when 1 came home lute from a fundungo ami I jest gave her a couple of crucks so as to let her know who wus boss of the shanty, nnd she got so mud about It that she went right off uud drowned herself iu the river." Then an awkward silence fell upon the party for a few minutes. "Thut wus rough," the old mountain man observed nt lust. "Yes; and the worst of it was that all her tribe accused me of murdering her," Spanish Charley said. "And didn't none of 'em try to square the account?" tho 'Frisco shurp, John Ouderdouk, asked, "You bet!" responded the bereaved husband, tersely. "One copper-colored imp lay for me and plugged me with a slug a regular red bullet, too; thur she Is," nnd Charley drew the rudely formed and now flattened slug from his pocket, "The wound didn't amount to much, though, but the will was good enough." "And wboelse told you of this mine?" asked rough Ben Todd, an old and ex perienced miner, "A drunken buck that I cam across St Maricopa Wells; he wns wonderfully free-spoken, for nit Injun." t "And did he describe tho snme mine as the girl?" asked tho old trnppor. "To an lotn," Charley replied. "Hush! To cover!" tho Kentueklan snld. "There are Indians yonder!" The whites nt once took shelter In the little clump of timber thnt grew upon the Hand's center. Then fr;m the clump of timber nt the foot of the mountain range a single Indian ndvnuced, while the under brush seemed alive with the dusky faces. Straight to the bank of the river enme the brnvc, his arms extended, showing thnt he wns weaponless, ex cept the broadhlndcd knife that he held In his right hnnd. "He wnnts a tnlk," the trnpper ex claimed. "We're In a regular hornet's nest, and we must fool him if we can." The Indian halted nt the edge of the water. He was a tall, young brave, muscular nnd powerful. "Will the white brave, Spanish Charley, step out and fight the brother of the Indian girl that he killed-?" cried the chief speaking in excellent English. Spanish Charley started and turned pale. "The Apaches make a fair offer; they do not wish to shed the blood of their white brothers. They have nothing worth taking, and the Apnche lodges ate. lull of white scalps now. Let Spanish Charley step out, and If he kills the Apache chief In fair fight ho Is free to depart with his braves." "If you're nfeared, Charley, I'll tackle the Injine for you," the Kentueklan re marked. The taunt stung the guilty man nnd he started to his feet. "No living man ever saw Spnnlsh Charley show the white feather yet!" he cried, boastfully. "I'll cut the heart out of this red dog Inside of live minutes, nnd send him to Join his proud-bucked sister. Come on; I'm ready for you!" he cried, stepping down to the water's edge, knife In hand. Tht Indian pointed to a sandy bar about SIM) yards down the stream. "Let the white chief meet the Apuche brave there." the warrior suld. Spanish Charley nodded bis bend, nnd throwing off his outer garments, plunged nt. once Into the water. The Indian followed his example. The redskin was not ('incumbered with clothing, being naked to the waist. The combatants readied the Island, both nt the same time, nnd as Spanish Charley emerged from the water atone side, the Indian's tall form came up on the other. Knife In hand, the foenien glared up on each other. With the cautious movement of two angry tigers, they circled around, ciich striving to obtain the advantage. Suddenly the Indian mnde a spring forward; the white assumed the de fensive to parry the expected blow, but It was but n feint upon the part of the Apache; lor ns Charley raised his arm to parry, he uncovered his chest, nnd the Indian, Improving the opportunity, launched his knife full nt the heart of the white, throwing the weapon with nil the skill of the East ern Juggler. Through Spanish Charley's white flesh nnd keen blade cut Its way until It spilt his henrt In twain. With a hollow groan the unfortunnto mnn threw up his arms and sank down dead, all In a heap. A shrill cry of triumph came from tho throat of tho Apnche as ho sprung for ward and tore the warm and reeking scalp from the head of his fallen foe. Again the note of triumph rang on the air, as tho brave stood erect and dangled the curly locks, Spanish Chnrley's pride In tho air; and from the cover of the hills n hundred throats echoed the cry of triumph. And then, nil In a moment, the shout of Joy changed Into a wall of horror. The rifle of Montana Mike spoke, and Its ball drilled n round, red hole In the temple of the victor. "He was my pard, bays," cried the Irishman. In answer to his comrades' remonstrance. The whiti s ( :;neet( d n terrible fight for life; but eoiil::;i',v to their expecta tion, the savages did not attack. The Apaches thirsted for revenge, but feared the denth-deiillng rllles; be sides, no booty could be got. When nightfall enme, the whites withdrew from the Island . nnd fled down the river, hotly pursued by the Apaches; hut they made Fort 'Goodwin In safety. And to this day Montana Mike exhibits the red bullet, nnd tells the terrible story of the redskin's ven geunce. New York News. Huby'i Head Win "Wobbly."

It is said that enough coal could be mined in this district to sup ply every industrial concern in the She- nango valley for the next century, and then not exhaust the supply. Work on the new road will be started soon and a force of 400 men will commence Brad lug at once. The proposed line will, be jo miles long and will run from the steel plant of the Sharon Steel Company :hrough Mercer and Lawrence counties to Brown's school house in Butler county. The railroad will be used ex clusively for hauling coal and lime stone.
