H IOrlginal.1 Since steam has largely ta i tie place of sail on the ocean I doubt if the sailor's yarn is what It was fifty years ago, when the Black Ball line of clipper ships sped between the Occident ' and the orient. Ia my younger days I was but a lad I sailed before the toast in the Dreadnaught Among our crew was Seth Hawkins, an old salt cf forty. We considered him a Methu selah, a tall, thin man with a profusion xt little red curls. He was very reli gious, observing all the commandments scrupulously except the ninth, "Thou shalt not bear false witness," and In this he sinned only in spinning yarns, which he always vowed were real hap penings; One starlight night on the forecastle while we were lounging ebout the capstan he gave us the fol lowing: "You've all heard a lot about Judas Iscariot, who was cursed with havin to live fprever and wanderln all over the world, at one time bein' seen In Egypt, another in France, and so on, always leavln' a trail of misfortune in his wake. But I don't believe any of you has ever hearu about his sailin the Beas. There's no sense in this, for how could he have got to America, where he's tuYned up often, unless he crossed an ocean? Least ways I've seen him myself, and on the water too. "I first shipped on the Mark Matthews on a voyage around the Horn to take In hides ou the west coast of South Amer ica. We was layin' in the doldrums ( one eveniu just Jef ore fourbells. A thick fog was all about us, and we couldn't see a cable's length. All of a Buddent I Leered a bell. It struck four times. ' As soon as It stopped our bell struck too. Then the fog thinned a lit tle, and just about half the "ship's length fronyus was the oddest lookln' craft I ever clapped eyes on. She was awful high iu the poop, low in the waist and h:d a head ou her bow like that of a sea sarpent. She had two masts like a schooner, and the sails was hung on 'em like they, put 'em on Chinese junks. Of course they hung limp like ouru. "She was head-on, and the fog didn't let us see abaft the fo'mast On the forecastle stood the figurlof an $ld man. I couldn't tell you howold he looked, but there was somethin about, him . that reminded me of a people long passed away. He was a Jew and the Jpwtesj- took hi' Jer; I ever see. Ha Our.

He hadn't any hat on, and I wasn't near enough to see just what his hair was like, except that he had mighty little. But somethin' was a-movln' on his skull that looked like worms. Whether it was worms or hair I couldn't see, but it must 'a' been worms, for there wasn't the ghost of a breeze to move even the finest hairs. He stood there lookin' at us without any interest In them melancholy eyes o' hts'n, and the only motion he made was with his skinny hands, pomin some silver coins from one hand to t'other. Every oncet In awhile he'd make as if to throw the silver away, but he couldn't,' and every time he tried and failed his face would take on an expression of awful remorse. "While I was lookln' at him the two ships was so slowly drlftln' apart that nobody could see 'em move. The other craft was gettln' in our stern. The Jew's blinkers was movin about, never res tin' on anything for more'n half a second till suddenly they struck our stern. Then there was the worst fright come into 'em I ever see on any man's face,'1 not even a mutineer I once saw hung when he caught sight o the noose danglln' from the yardarm. "What did he see? Didn't I tell you our ship was the Mark Matthews? The rfame, o' course, was on the stern. Some o' the letters was faded, and the 8 in Matthews was pretty nigh gone. What the Jew. saw was the names o twoo' the apostles, Mark and Mat thew. "Then for the first time it struck me who he was. He was the wanderln' Jew. As soon as he saw the names o them two old friends o' his'n he was throwed on his beam ends. You see. he was one o' the twelve in good and tegular standin' till ha betrayed his master for them thirty pieces o silver. To be brought face to face with two of the disciples after a couple o thou sand years wanderin' must 'a' brought back onpleasant remembrances. "By this time I felt so bad for the poor old sinner that I -wanted to give him somethin' to warm him up. I ran below, got some; grog in a can and ran back, expectin to swing it over to the Jew at the end of a rope. But when I got on deck the strange lookin craft had disappeared in the fog, , "But where she'd drifted to was a puzzler, for within ten minutes the fog lifted, we could sweep the horizon, andtbejejTra't aU Jo be, seen.

Its name "Golden Medical Discovery" was suggested by one of its most import ant and valuable ingredients Golden Seal root - - ... Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Pierce dis covered that be could, by the use of pure, trlple-refinod glycerine, aided by a cer tain degree of constantly maintained heat and with the aid of apparatus and appliances designed for that purpose, ex tract from our most valuable native me dicinal roots their curative properties much better than by the use of alcohol, so generally employed. So the now world famed "Golden Medical Discovery," for the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and kindred derangements was first made, as it ever sinie has bcn, without a particle of alcohol m its mafte-up.
