August 8,189.. Ja an interview
with Sir. Chas. 13. Johnson, man
ager gents' furnishing goods de
partment, "The Fair," Seventh and
Franklin avonuos, St. Louis, ho
raid: "Sovera 1 years ago I was
troubled with an aggravate I case of
Dyspepsia, aud of course the first
thing I did was consult a physician,
As I had always enjoyed the best of
health I was worriod a good deal
over this, iny first illness-that ir,'
the first I could remember since the
ailments common to childhood—aud
my only desire was to gel well as
speedily ns I could. 1 took regu
larly all the medicines as my doctor
prescribed them. 1 must ray that
in a short tiufo I felt all right,
thought I was cured, and stopped
takiugtho medicine. Hut it wasn't
long before I was feeiing as badly
as ever, and again I had recourse to
the doctor. This kept up for soino
time, until at las'. I made up my
mind I would quit doctoring and Iry
some of the remedies 1 saw adver
tised from day to day. Well, this
was worse than ever, and in most
cases I didn't uvonget temporary
relief. So I didn't know what to do,
and made up my miud that I would
have to pass I ho remainder of ny
days in suffering. Well, to cut a
long story short, I had road so much
of JUpans Tabulae that I concluded
I would give them a good trial. It
said, 'one would give relief,' atul 1
thought if one could give relief a
whole lot might cure mo, 1 pur
chased two boxes from a druggist
for one dollar, and when I had fin
ished them I was feeling hotter than
I had for years. I continued to use
them, aud to-day believe 1 am a we'd
inau. Onco in a great while Ido
have a slight touch of the old
malady, but a few of the Tubules i
fixes that nil right. I generally keep
a box in my house."

THE TWILIGHT MINE.
y _ S for mo, I was just
I /A \ oue of the thou
j \ \ sands that came
f ! \ West to grow up
I j \ with tlia country,
/\ and, not many
£ \ moons after, had
Kri'lSfSni'hhPw Rood reason to be
'l lievo that I was
KOS g°no "P with the
OSL) •| •( country instead.
After a while I
drifted into Gold
ff'/dSSLrf) Orossl camp. It
\ "> jk was in the days
Vv before Gold Cross
had come to the front as a good thing,
and the big mills that aro now eating
tho sides out of the hills up there
hadn't been thought of. Tho boys
wero running lookers down in tho
gulch then, and most of them didn't
make moro between meals than they
could cat—aud drink—up at grub
time. Aud it was pretty quiet when
Pizen Bill Johnson came to town.
But Pizen Bill woke up tho camp.
Bill wasn't at moro than one place at
ono time, but his reputation was every
where nt once in tho diggings, and it
didn't improve with age, either. Will
iam was dressed to kill. Whenever
ho moved you wero apt to seo tho
hnudlo of another weapon, that had
escaped your observation before, s tie ic
ing out from some new angle. His
record was worse looking than ho was
—which is saying a good deal. You
might lay lits ugly looks to some dis
pensation of Providence that you
didn't quite see tho drift of, but few
people would care to charge a disposi
tion liko his to anything but Satan.
Sorrow was liis shadow, aud tho wail
ing of widows and the crying of or
phun3 had followed him out of moro
than one camp. But, somehow, when
he struck Gold Cross,.the geuoral air
of condensed fhiiTlossness seomed to
tike the plaeo of his usual original
cussednesf, and, being above working,
ho just settled down and drank be
tween meals and ato between drinks.
Finally, ono day, ho doveloped
enough energy to climb up Bumper
llill, which is first cousin to a preoi
piee and i 3 cu tho west side of tho
gorge. After that ho made several
trips up there, generally after the sun
had clusod up his day's business, nud
by nud by ho let it leak ont that ho
had located e. first elii's quartz claim
on a lodge where the pitch was not too
steep to pile rook, and also volunteered
tho statement that tho nnino of his
new bonanza was the Twilight so
christened because ho found it better
to work up there after nightfall; his
explanation being that it was too hot
to do any locating or anything elso up
there in the day tine—which explan
ation was probably us near the truth
as lie usually got. Iu those days wc
mostly thought that quartz mining
was tho calling of arch idiots, it being
so mneh easier to run a placer, and so
u good many of tho boys laughed at
him ou the sly; but thoso who had
heard of him most, aud therefore
worst, just shook their heads and sur
mised ho was up to something. Not
being interested in the cemetery busi
ness, tbey didn't try to investigate.
As for Pizen Bill Johnson, when ho
got his claim located to suit, ho just
tat down and waited and waited.
I enuie to Gold Gross ou tho hog
train, and, being discouraged with
mining that didn't pan outboard bills,
took tlio first job that ottered itself,
which happened to bo that of bar
keeper in tho Golden Oriole; for,
when a man is a hundred miles from
nowhere, without money and without
friends, his conscience gets sleepy
when there is a promise of bread and
butter in eight, unaccompanied by tho
prospect of a term in jail.
The Golden Oriole was in a niello
in tho side of tho gulch, w'uero some
enterprising idiots had washed out a
few hundred tons of dirt in tho hope
of finding something rich, but had
finally concluded that there was moro
money nud considerable less work in
holding up stage coaches. Then a jag
promoter from Saeiamento nppeared
ou tho scene, and, judging from the
looks of tho thirsty inhabitants that
there were several good openings that
needed filling, built a board palace on
. the ruins, "heedless of tho fled," aud
shortly alterward there was revelry iu
carload lots iu that neighborhood, it
was a pretty solid castle for those days,
and hugged up close ou one end to the
side of the gulch. An auction piano
furnished inspiration nt oue end of the
big room that constituted the interior
of the joint, and I, with the valuable
assistance of tho bar, furnished tho in
spiration at the other end, There was
a window at ono end of tho liar, the
sill of which was ou a level with a
burro trail that the iniuers had spoiled
whou at tho innocent work of laying a
l'ouudation for our house, and I usod
to retiro through it to gazo upon the
awe-inspiring scenery outside and
meditate upon tho beauties of nature
and tho comfort of solitude, whenever
tho guests got to hurling solid argu
ments nt each other an.l commenced
shooting oil' something besides thoir
mouths. It was really a big institu
tion for Gold Cross, and tho proprie
tor consumed considerable timo in
trying to make up his mind what to
call it, not being able to lecido wheth
er "palace" or "pavilion" wna tho
proper handle, aud eventually com
promising ou "Golden Oriole." There
was a big tablo down the centre,
' which was sometimes used for an ex
hibition dauco and sometimes for lay
ing out a corpse, and surrounding it
were a lot oi small tables.
One day Pizen Bill Johnson's wait
came to an end. Tho young fellow
that got off the stago was so green
that 1 couldn't help looking him over
to see if he didn't have an express tag
on, which, in somo measure, would
account for his being ablo to get so
far away from home, but tho boys
wero feeling pretty bluo about then,
and he made a kind of pleasant con
trast of colors. Ho hadn't more than
passed ono meal timo till Pizen B.
Johnson, who was a smooth smiler
when he tried to be, had him in tow
and knew all about him and all his
folks. And pretty soon after I ob
served he was showing the youngster
some of tho finest specimens of free
milling ore from his Twilight bonanza
that n man ever stole. I rather pitied
tho fellow, but theu I knew that if I
bad any money, somebody would get
it mighty quick, and besides B. John
son had enough to answer for without
my tombstone casting any reflections
on his character. So tho announce
ment next day that ho had sold a two
thirds interest in tho Twilight for
SIBOO to the young chap from Boston
was not altogether a surprise.
The next two days it rrincd, but tho
greeu young cuss from tho East
seemed fo thrive out in the damp, for
ho worked away developing his salted
Twilight mine, while tho patrons of
the Golden Oriolo speculated ou what
kind of a row ho would raise when lie
discovered the job—if he ever did.
Wheu the wind got around in tho
north tho mountains began to shed
water lively, and the little creek that
tumbled through the camp grow into
a torrent and began to spread itself
promiscuously over the claims along
its bod. The clouds went to work iu
dead earnest, and when you got out
from under shelter, it wasn't a dilli
cult job to imagine that tome lire de
partment was taking yon for a con
fiugration, aud you were shortly much
put out.
Aud so when Eddie Freeman, drip
ping wet, slid iu with a gust of wind
through the door of tbo Oriolo that
uiglit, tho racket inside didn't begin
to coinparo with that which the crook,
now tukiug on tho airs of a river, was
making outside. I folt uneasy about
that crock, and wondorod if tho fol
lows who had tackod their cabins up
against tho hillside hadn't shown con
siderable horse sense after all. But
thcro was a sparkle in Eddie's oyo and
such joy in his voioo that I forgot all
about tho creok for tho time being,
when ho slammed tho door and hovo
up to tho bur. Then he skipped over
to whoro Pizcu Bill was absorbed in
reflection and gin, and hold out to him
a sack of ore. Bill smiled aftor tho
fashion of tho evil one; but when ho
went to diving into tho rock us big a
change enmo over his face as a land
slide makes in tho side of a mountain.
In another minuto wo iwero all exam
ining some of tho finest specimens of
gold-bearing ore that was ever found
in California. There wasn't any doubt
about it. Bill Johnson's salt was
merely spice for a mighty tine pud
ding.
Then the venom in William J.'s na
ture showed itself in his face, but his
words wcro uncommonly pleasant.
"That's a mighty lino mino yor
have," ho said, "and I cm mighty
proud that I am the man that's piit
yer in the way of 6ich extraordinary
luck. I linowed I wnz givin' yer a
great thing, but bizness in other places
wouldn't allow me to put in my time
on that, aud besides I took a big fancy
to yer, ez I alius did to smart young
men, nud wanted yer to come out on
top ov the heap. Bein' cz I'm partner
iutbisyero great luck, supposin'wo
do a littlo oelebratin'? Let's likkor
up and then hev a littlo sos hul game
to eommemmorato this great event."
Ercemnu agreed, aud jiretty soon
there was a lively four-handed game
in progress, punctuated with orders
for various kinds of refreshments.
But about that time my attention was
divided, not to say scattered. I know
that William of tho tribo of Johnson
was up to somo evil job, for ho was
getting tho youngster, whoso beverage
before ho crossed tho mountains had
evidently been coffee, to do most of
the drinking, ably assisted by two
other players; but tho storm outsii\
seemed to be putting up some kind of
a bad job on us all, aud pretty soon
the crowd commenced to thin out, and
I could hear the minglod souud of pro
fanity and splashing of water as tho
miners slopped ont, by token of which
1 judged that tho backwater of tho
creok was visitiog u, and so I saun
tered over to mv bar window and un
fastened the cutch.
About tho time the fun over in tho
card party's corner began to gel hilari
ous, tho water began to creep across
the floor in black rivulets, looking like
moccasins seeking holes aud tho last
of tho uneasy guests sidled out, except
ing my interested company in the cor
ner. It struck mo that it was a good
tune of year for them to leavo, hut a
glanco at I'izen Bill's countenance
gave mo to understand that it wouldn't
bo altogether to my interest to make
such a suggestion, and besides, the
proprietor, who was peacefully snooz
ing up in his cabin 011 the hiil side,
would give me an everlasting farewell
if I turned out paying patrons. So I
stayed, with one eye on tho window,
one one on tho party, and both eirs
out for tho storm. The rivulets ou
tho lloor had spread out, and pretty
soon wo had a good foundation for a
uatatorium.
Talk was getting pretty loud around
the card table and young Freeman's
faco bold a better llueb than bis baud
could raise. But even bo noticed that
it seemed to be rising tido time, and
be remarked:
"Don't want (hie) to got my feet
wet. Lesli go up in the balo'ny." And
Bill's mouth curled up at the corners
while thoy tossed the small table on
the larger one, and followod alter with
the chairs. Boozo line! mucin them all
reckless, and Bill had an object worth
taking risk for.
The candles flickerod along the walls
and the black water eddied beneath
them. They had the table decorated
with some large bottles to save order
ing ; and, while I sat on the edge of
tho bar and longed for home, sweet
home, the game went on. Bill's yel
low face looked more demou-liko than
ever, and the shadown ot tho players
mado fantastic figures in the dim light
on tho water. But it was a triumphant
devil that was looking out of his eyes,
and I knew that the Twilight mine was
mighty near within his clutohes again.
Two of tho players had dropped out
on a hand of William's deal, aud wore
frying to look intelligent and inter
ested in spito of the loads they were
carrying. Freeman's brow looked
troubled, and his face had kind of
whitened.
"Well," said Bill, deliberately,
stacking his pile of chips, which had
absorbed all the others, ''l thought
you wnz a mnu uv nerve. Supposin*
ycr nro busted? Wot's tho matter
with tho Twilight? I'm a gentleman,
an' I got san'—an' I s'posed thar was
others wot wnz present. Ef yer hov a
good hau', thar's a mighty fine ohauce
for yer to show it. I liov here a leetl'
fortshun in chips, ail' out on tho hill
I hev a third part en the Twilight.
Jest to show yer that I'm a true sport
an' that no gent this side of hell kin
run or bind 011 Bill JOIIIIHOU, whether
he's frum Oaliforny or Illiuoy, I'll put
up them valyabloa agin yer interest in
the Twilight. 1 didn't want ter skeer
anybody," ho added, contemptuously,
as ho saw Freeman's face grow a little
whiter, "but I hain't biu us't ter do
in' bizneso with onybody but men, an'
never bed eny expeoryonco with cliiolc
on-livered cusses wot's aftarcd ov the
darn."
Tho blood ran up iti Freeman's face
till it was almost black, aud his voieo
had tho snap of a steel trap iu it ai ho
quietly said:
"X tako that bet. And I don't want
anything but fair play, either," aud
ho laid a new revolver, not long from
Bomo store in Sacramento, on tho
table.
Now, Bill Wftfl nn expert with that
weapon, anil BO his smile grew A littto
sardonic, as ho hitched arouud till
one of his numerous destroyers was
within easy grasp. As for me, I slid
along tho counter and opened my
private exit somewhat. Thoro are
times when wo wish to bo alone. Aud,
as tho window slid up, I heard a
peculiar roar—a deep growl iug abovo
the minor rackets of tho storm that
mado mo wouder.
About that time Pizen Bill Johnson
met with the sccoud of tho three sur
prises to which ho was treated that
night. Ho felt reasonably certain,
being fairly sober, that ho had suc
cessfully fixed the cards; but somehow
that best laid plan didn't work, aud
Freeman spread out four aces and a
king to Bill's three king?, a jack and a
ten. For a moment tho men sat thoro
and glared at each other, wliiio I
reached for tho window, and as I did
so tho meaning of that growing roar
flashed upon me.
Suddenly there was a movement at
tho tabic, a flash in tho yellow light,
and Pizou Bill ha l his man covered.
Ilis voice sounded liko tho ripping of
a buzz saw.
"Yer would play Pizon Bill, would
ye—" but a mighty roar drowned the
rest, ami as I slid rapidly through tho
window I felt tho building twist and
shake, and more than ouce, as I
scrambled up the hill side, the muddy
water reached after mo aud clutched
me.
Tho next morning, while I and tho
proprietor of the late Golden Oriole,
were straying along the side o. tho
gulch, trying to get an idea of the
amount of damago the waterspout had
clone, I happened to glauao up tho
sido of the hill, and saw Edward Free
man, E?q., sitting on a pile of rock,
and calmly wringing out au exceed
ingly damp coat.
"I guess this fool was born to bo
hanged," ho observed, after receiving
my congratulations. "I saw Bill
Johnson's hat hanging on a bush down
tho gulch a-ways," ho aided, "an I f
think tho best part of him was saved.
But I believe all tho rest of tho outfit
was buried with tho Golden Oriolo "

<1 AYER'S ARGUMENT. I
1 ) (% |
|pß) If the re is any reason why you should use
A. any sarsaparilla, there is every reason why you
tj|l|'| should use Ayer's. When you take sarsaparilla CP$
/SSj. you take it to cure disease ; you want to he cured
\" : fj as quickly as possible and as cheaply as possible. WW
That is why you should use Ayer's: it cures |||k
quickly and cheaply —and it cures to stay. Many Vgg/
mpm people write us : "I would sooner have one bottle
Vof Ayer's Sarsaparilla than three of any other
§ kind." A druggist writes that " one bottle of H
Ayer's will give more benefit than six of any other 3K
|||p kind." If one bottle of Ayer's will do the work
of:\ of three it must have the strength of three at the J§|l
\|lP cost of one. There's the point in a nutshell. It
|Q) Pays every way to use |g|
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. ||
