I T was after a hunting dinner, and there
were as many scarlet coats as black
ones around tho table. 'The conversa-
tlon over the cigars had turned, therefore,
in the direction of horses and horsemen,
with reminiscences of phenomenal runs.
The master had told one or two tall remi
niscences, and when he cleared his throat
for another we were all curious, for he
was a bit of an artist In his way.
"It was before I wad master," said he.
"Sir Charles Adair had the hounds at that
time. It may possibly have been just after
Lathom took the hounds over, but my
strong Impression Is that it was in Adair's
time. That would be early In the '70s,
about '72, I should say.
"I dare say that some of you can re
member Danbury "Walter Danbury, or
Wat Danbury, as people used to call him.
He was the son of old Joe Danbury, of
High Ascombe, and when his father died
he came into a very good-thing. It was
but a few hundred acres, but It was good,
arable land, and thoso were great days
for farming.
"This young "Wat Danbury was a very
'nne fellow, keen rider and thorough
sportsman, but his head was a little
turned and he went the pace for a year or
two. There was a hard-drinking set in
the neighborhood at that time, and Dan
bury got drawn In among them; and, being
an amiable fellow, he very soon took to
drinking a great deal more than was good
for him. It really looked as If the poor
chap were going to the bad when a very
curious thing happened, which pulled him
up with such a sudden Jerk that he never
put his hand upon the neck of a whisky
bottle again.
"Being a tough, open-air fellow, who
was always as hard as a nail. It was sel
dom that there was anything amia? with
him; but at last the drink began to tell,
and he awoke one morning with his hands
shaking and all his nerves tingling like
overstretched fiddlestrings. He was very
much alarmed at his own condition, and
he sent for Dr. Middleton, of Ascombe, the
father of the man who practices there
now.
"Middleton had been a great friend of
old Danbury's, and he was very sorry to
see his son going to the devil; so he Im
proved the occasion by taking his case
very seriously. He "shook his head and
talked about the possibility of delirium
tremens, or even of mania. "WSt Danbury
was horribly frightened.
" 'Do you think I am going to get any
thing of the sortr he walled.
" 'Well, really, I don't know. said the
doctor, gravely. 'I cannot undertake to
say that you are out of danger. At any
time during the day you might have those
grave symptoms of which I warn you.'
" 'You think I shall be safe by evening?
' 'If you drink nothing during the day
and have no nervous symptoms before
evening, I think you may consider your
self safe,' the doctor answered.
" 'What symptoms may I expect?' asked
Danbury.
" 'It generally takes the form of optical
delusions.'
" I see specks floating all about'
" 'That is mere biliousness,' said the
doctor, soothingly, for he did not wish to
overdo it I dare say that you will have
no symptoms of the kind, but when they
do come they usually take the shape of
insects or reptiles or curious animals.'
" 'And if I see anything of the kind?'
" 'If you do you will at once send for
me.' And so, with a promise of medicine,
the doctor departed.
"Young Wat Danbury rose and dressed
and moped about the room feeling very
miserable and unstrung. It Is not very
exhilarating to be watching for symptoms
and to keen on .rlanr n7 vnr
and to keep on glancing at your bootjack
to see whether it is still a bootjack or
whether It has begun to develop antennae
and legs. At last he could stand It no
longer. "Why should he stay Indoors when
the Ascombe Hunt was meeting within a
half mile of him? If he was going to
have these delusions which the doctor
talked of. he would not have them the
sooner nor -the worse because he was on
horseback In the open. And so It came
about that in ten minutes he was In his
hunting kit and In ten more he was rid
ing out of his stable yard with his roan
mare Matilda between his knees. He was
a little unsteady In the saddle just at
first but the further he went the better
he felt until by the time, he reached the

there was nothing troubling him except

galloped the better he should be. His

creature, all quarters and shoulders, lit
to carry a life guardsman. It was a well
trained paclt, and there n'as not so much
as a whine to tell you that 40 hound3
were working all round you.
"And suddenly there came one long
drawn yell from one of them, and It was
taken up by another and another until
within a few seconds the whole nack was
giving tongue together and running on a
not scent. Danbury saw them stream
across one of the drives and disappear
upon the other side, and an instant later
the three red coats of the hunt servants
nasnea after them upon the same line.
Bight through the wood they went in a
cee-iine, galloping with their faces
brushed by their horses' manes as they
stooped under the branches. It's uclv

you had drawn a line right across the

the other four were still going strong,
and they did four or fivo miles down the

and he had to give It up.
The country got worse and worse, and
the hills were steeper and more thickly
covered In heather and bracken. The
horses were over their hocks all the time,
and the place was pitted with rabbit holes.
As they raced down one slope, the hounds
were always flowing up the opposite one,-
and never a glimpse did they get of the
fox, although, they knew very well that
he must be only a very short way ahead
for the scent to lie so strong. And then
Wat Danbury heard a crash and a thud
at his elbow, and looking around he saw

THE FINEST PRINTING SHOP IN
ASHINGTON. Juno 7. (Special
Correspondence.) About the 1st of
December the new Government
Printing Office, erected in this city, will
be completed and ready for occupancy.
This' Immense structure of dark red
brick, occupying the greater portion of a
city block, and covering one and three
quarter acres, has been building since
June 24, 1893. The work of construction
has been carried on under supervision of
the Army Engineers, and to their credit
it may be said that no more substantial
building Is today to be found in the Na
tion's capital.
The Government Printing Office, the
home of the Congressional Record, the
great print shop that turns out all Gov
ernment reports, the annual reports of all
departments and all bureaus, and the most
1 IZ "7" U "'-'
Kcountry. is. at the close of the year, to
rnmnTatnlr AAiilnnn.1 1 . i . 1
vacate cramped and unsafe quarters, for
this moaern seven-story building. Impos
ing as it is, the new printing office Is
built on simple lines, the architect hav
ing kept in view throughout the fact that
It is to be an immense work shop. Utility
has been made paramount; ornamentation
has been subordinated.
Being a modern building in every sense
of tho word, the new printing office Is of
the steel frame class of structures. Hav
ing to undergo hard use, the greatest
care was exercised In securing Arm foun
dations and Insuring solidity In construc
tion from cellar to roof. The steel
structural work Is believed to be equal
If not superior to anything of the kind
anywhere. Every care was taken to make
this portion of the building as perfect as
possible, and quantities of steel were at
times rejected, when they did not come up
to the standard of the requirements.
Structure for "All Time."
The greatest solidity of construction was
rendered necessary from the fact that a
great deal of heavy machinery is to be
placed In the building and extremely
heavy weights of metal and paper were
to be provided for. The fear of Are has no
possible place in the mind of the most im
aginative in relation to the new building.
It is Areproof to the utmost extent, the
steel work being protected so that In case
of heat being generated by the burning of
any material that might be placed In the
building. It could not affect the strength
of the structure by thewarplng of tho
metal. In every other way. neither time
nor money has been spared to make the
structure one of those that can be said to
have been erected for "all time."
The exterior of the building is finished
in dark red brick, but all Interior work,
in the courts and areas have been made
bright by the use of white glazed bricks,
which also provide a clean surface. The
architect who designed the building has
been complimented for the beauty and
simplicity of Its lines, making it alto
gether the. most beautiful home of a
printing office of Its size in the world.
The Material.
To construct the building 10.000,000 brick
were used, together with 12.000.0CO pounds
of steel. The floors are supported by the
steel frame, the outer walls answering
but little purpose except to inclose the
structure. The average height of the
building is 123 feet In the building -are
370 steel columns, which enable the floors
to stand a load of 85,000,000 pounds, which
Is largely in excess of any weight It will
be required to place upon them. Ventila
tion is produced by means of electric fans,
and for the quick movement of the large
corps of workmen and for the transfer of
material there are 12 electric elevators.
For the illumination of the building at
night there will be 7000 incandescent elec
tric lights. A complete system of tele
phones will be installed, so that every por
tion of tho building will have facilities
for quick communication. In order to
provide for this Immense network of wires
for lighting and telephoning without any'
unsightly effect false ceilings ha'e been
provided throughout the building, through
which the wires will run.
The printing office is to be heated by
steam, about 750,000 pounds of steel pipe
being used for that purpose. The steam
radiators have been placed in recesses
under the window sills. In order ihat
they may not bo In the way. Under th
system of ventilation fresh olr will enter
unaer me wmuow sins. Foul air will S
carried out from each floor by stacks
running up the middle of all of the big
rooms.
Even an Ice plant has been furnished to
provldo drinking water, all of which is
to be filtered. A crematory for dls nos
ing of refuse .and for heating the vast
quantities ot water that will be ne
for binding and for other operations, has
aju oeon installed..

For many years prior to the time the
appropriation was made Congress was
urged to make provision for a new Gov
ernment printing office. This Immense
establishment long since outgrew the
cramped quarters, immediately adjoining
the new building. Moreover, the nM nrint.

become badly worn and Its strentrth im

" Well.' said Wat Danbury to himself,
I'll see this fox run into or I shall see
11 drowned, for It's all clear going now
between this and the chalk cliffs which
line the sea.'
"Danbury was galloping hard over the
short springy turf, when he came over
the lip of a little hollow, and there was
a dark clump of wood lylns Jn frnt ot
and beneath him. There was only a dozen
hounds still running, and they were just
disappearing' among the trees. The gun
light was shining straight upon the long,
olive-green slopes which curved down to
ward this wood, and Danbury, who had
the eyes of a hawk, swept them over
this great expanse; but there was noth
ing moving upon It Either the fox must
have gone to ground in the wood or the
hounds' noses must be at his very brush,
A few minutes afterward Danbury was
galloping into tho firwood.
"The wood was very closely planted,
and so dim that he could hardly see to
right or to left out ot tho narrow path
down which he was riding. A kind of
chill suddenly struck Wat Dmbury, and
It flashed through his mind that there
had been some very singular points about
this run Its length and its straightness.
and tho fact that from the first find no
one hid ever caught a glimpse of the
creature. Some silly talk whlci bad
been going round the country about the
kind of foxes a sort of demon fox, so
fast that Jt could outrun any pack and so
fierce that they could do nothing with it
if they overtook it suddenly came back
into his mind. The 'nervousness which
had been on. him in tho morning and
which ho had hoped that he had shaken
off swept over hlra again In an overpow
ering -wive. He would have given ten
pounds now to have had Joe Clarke's
homely face beside him. And then. Just
at that moment, there broke out from the
thickest part of the wood the most
frantic hullaballoo that ever he had
heard In his life. Tho hound3 had run
into their fox.
"Wat Danbury tried to force his mare
through the trees to the place where all
this hideous screaming and howling came
from, but the wood was so thick that it
was impossible- to ride. He sprang off.
therefore, left the mare standing and
broke his way through as best he could,
with hi3 hunting lash ready overt his
shoulder. But as he ran forward he felt
his flesh go cold and creepy all over.
He had heard hounds run Into foxes

"Danbury had been on the lookout for
symptoms alf day, and now he had found
them. He looked once more at the
thicket, saw a pair of savage red eyes
fixed upon him, and fairly took to his
heels. It might only be a passing delu

her madly over the downs, and only
stopped when he found himself at a coun

expended In a single year, and nearly
double the expenditure of ten years ago.
The estimates for the current year
reached a total of $6,235,137, out of which
f4.239.171 Is to go for wages of printers,
typesetters, binders, etc.. and 5743,635 for
paper. During the previous year there
was paid out In wages a total of $4,073,404

Enough Is shown to give some idea of
the scale on which Uncle Sam engages In
the printing business. This conception
may be made clearer when It Is stated
that during the past year the Govern

ICCESSFUL
TREATMENT
Dr. VV. Norton Davis
Weakness''
iVeakness" is not a nervous dis
order, demanding a tonic system
of treatment, but is merely a symp
tom of chronic inflammation or
congestion in the prostate gland.
This congestion exists as a result
of early dissipation or some im
properly treated contracted disor
der, and requires mainly carefully
directed local treament. By our
own original methods the prostate
gland Is quickly restored to Its nor
mal state, which results in full
ind complete return of strength and
vigor. Our cures are permanent be
cause the condition responsible for
the functional disorder Is entirely
removed, and we are convinced that
by no other method Is a radical
cure of this ailment possible. f
Contracted Disorders
In no ailment peculiar to men is
a prompt and thorough cure so es
sential. Contracted disorders tend
to work backward until the most
vital centers become involved in the
Inflammation. Then follows a
chronic stage that stubbornly re
sists all ordinary treatment Safety
demands that every vestige of In
fection be eradicated at the earliest
possible moment Our treatment Is
thorough. The remedies employed
have a more positive action than
has ever before been attained, and
so psrfect is our method of appli
cation that even chronic cases yield
completely.
Healing Obstinate
Cases
Each and every one of these dis
eases peculiar to men present a dif
ficult problem to the average phy
sician. Some cases are more com
plex than others and consequently
more difficult to cure. There Is one
reason why we like to treat such
cases. Ditllcult cases afford the
best possible demonstration of our
superior methods and skill. We
have treated so many men that a
clear understanding of the case is
never lacking, and we know how
to meet every requirement of a
thorough cure. Of course, a physi
cian who Is able to accomplish dif
ficult cases will render the best
service In minor cases as well, and
we Invite men. young, middle-aged
and old. who are afflicted In any de
gree whatever with the ailments we
treat, to call and consult us with
out charge.
Specific Blood Poison
Others dose the system with min
eral poisons scarcely less danger
ous than the disease Itself. The
best they hope to do by this treat
ment Is to keep the disease from
manifesting its presence", upon the
surface of the body. Under our
treatment the entire system is
cleansed. The last taint of virus is
destroyed. Every symptom van
ishes to appear no more. We use
harmless, blood-cleansing reme
dies heretofore unknown in the
treatment of this disease. They
cure by neutralizing and absolutely
destroying the poison in the sys
tem. Such cures cannot be other
wise than complete and permanent
Varicocele
Many who are but slightly af
flicted with varicocele believe that
the trouble is of little consequence.
The opposite Is true. Varicocele Is
a disease of a progressive naturel
As It advances nervoas complica
tions come, power diminishes and
the general health becomes Im
paired. We cure varicocele without
the use of a knife, ligature or caus
tic, without pain and without de
tention from business.
Stricture
Our treatment for this disease is
entirely independent of surgery. A
complete cure is accomplished with
out cutting or dilating. All growths
and obstructions in the urinary
passage are dissolved, the mem
branes cleansed and all Irritation
or congestion removed.
Quick Cures Certain Cures
We cure the worst cases of plies
permanently without tho use of
ointments, without pain, cutting or
detention from business, in from
two to three treatments. Our treat
ment is entirely new and peculiar
to ourselves. Remember, no mat
ter who has failed before in your
case, we will cure you with mild
methods, and without danger, or
else make no charge whatever for
our services.
Should you live at a distance, we
can treat you successfully at home.
WE ARE ALWAYS WILL
ING TO WAIT FOR OUR
FEE UNTIL A CJJRE IS
EFFECTED.
