I laden with goods. We prospected all
the Una to Tonelado, and stopped
for oue week with an Indiau at Tehu-
antepec. While there we learned that
In the district up to Touelado there was
plenty of gold, aa another Englishman
had passed through there with $8,000,
which he bad panned out at a certain
point somewhere In the region of San
Pablo, In Oaxaca. We traced the gold

I reached as far a. San Miguel. We
were very hungry by this time, having
I run short of provisions, and. going
across the mountains, were told that

numerous. Soon after two men met us
not far from San Miguel and the both
had rifles. They ordered us to halt.
but I pulled a revolver and took their
guns away from them and marched
them on In front of us. When we ar
rived at San Miguel one of them enter
ed a complaint before the Jeae politico
charging us with holding them up, but
the Jew knew the men too well to list
en to their story, and the result Is one
of them Is still In jail at that place.
'When we left San Miguel we secur
ed a moso to guide o- to where the
Englishman referred to found his gold.
but when we got there the moso would
not stay, as It waa known the English
man had returned and died there. We
found his skeleton, with the legs and
arms eaten off, and the moso, being
fearful he would see the ghoet of the
dead, left na to ourselves. We went
across a river and camped In the ad
jacent woods. Along the stream we
prospected for gold, and In two weeks
we found gold which went about 25
cents to the pan. We remained there
about six months, and all that time we
lived on monkey meat and green ba
nanaa, and both, too, without salt. Just
think of it! Nothing but monkeys, and
occasionally a fowl or two, and not a
tortilla or common hot cake. v ell, sir.
my partner, Martin Hayes of London,
England, died four months after from
the privations suffered during that
time, and I don't suppose his wife or
family ever heard of it But we got
some gold, all right, and monkey meat
would have been all right for me, If we

Is within the reach of ad rheumatic
sufferers is found in Mr. Dalton'a own
words. He says: .
"I had been troubled with rheuma
tism all my life, even when a boy.
It attacked me in the legs, arms snd
shoulders. The pain in the latter
was particularly severe. I, of course
took medicine for it but did not
obtain permanent relief. One day
about three years ago while reading
a newspaper, I aaw an advertisement
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People and determined to give them
a trial. I had taken but three boxes
of the pills when the trouble, which
had been my affliction from child
hood, entirely disappeared.
"About a year later I had another
attack of rheumatism which i
brought on by working in a damp
place. I remembered well what Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
had done for me, so I immediately
purchased some, strangely enough,
just three boxes sgaln cured me, and
have been entirely free from rheu
matism ever since. I have told a num
ber of people about Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People, and they
have taken them with most bene
ficial results."

OLD-TIMf RAILROADING.
How Tracks Ware Constructed
and
Tralaa K Slaty Year Aaro.
Irving P. Cook, who live, near South
Byron, recently repaired a barn on the
old Cook homestead that was built
many years ago. In taking out a gran
ary, some Umber, found in It. construc
tion were recognised by Mr. Cook .a
part of the Orst old New York Central
Kallroad roadbed that waa built to By
ron, which was for a time the terminus,
about sixty year. ago. These white
oak .tick, were 8 by 4 inches, as sound
a when first used, and were what the
first .trap rail wa. nailed or .piked on.
The imprint of the two-Inch Iron .trap
1. plainly seen. Mr. Cook', recollection
of the early railroading I. very clear,
a. the road crosses his farm.
He My. tie. were first laid, and on
these were placed long stringers, which
were of any kind of timber that could
be obtained from farmer, near by.
Tbeae stringer, were hewn on the upper
side, and on the under aide were
notched where they crossed each tie.
On those stringers and running In the
same direction white oak scantlings
were fastened. When the ends of the
trip, of Iron met, a short piece was
placed o that the ends of the rail. If
they might be called that, would not In
dent the wood.
There were no section bosses In tbose
days, and handcar, were uuknown.
The Orst repair gang consisted of three
men, who carried a few spikes, a chisel,
an auger, a hand saw, etc. In a handled
basket The few heavy tools. Ilka a crow
bar, atlse and shovel, were carried on j
the men's shoulders. The men worked
