$ How Williams Came
1 To Go Back East
Williams of Rhode Island was down
on bis luck. He had been Ave years In
the gold State, and had confidently
looked forward to each succeeding
yeur's enabling blm to go back home
and make things comfortable for the
woman and little ones. But each suc
ceeding year had found him precisely
where the previous oue had left him
a sanguine prospector, with a wealth of
hope and a pitifully small outfit
But this last find bad been different
He had taken out sixty dollars a day
for a week, and with this substantial
evidence of coming prosperity had
written a letter which filled the far
away home with sudden Joy. Then the
vein had disappeared, and he had
picked and shoveled and hauled away
dirt until his money was exhausted.
But the gold was there, he was sure of
it; and his confidence had Induced the
trader at Three Forks to advance him
funds. However, there had been a
shaft to sink, a solid rock to cut
through; and it had all been expensive.
When It was accomplished the money
was gone and there was no vein.
He was still confident; but the trader
was angry, and had accused blm of
false pretenses. Only this morning he
had received intimation that the Sheriff
wus about to levy on bis mine on his
Molly, named after the dear one It was
to do so much for.
He was aroused by approaching foot
steps. When he looked up two men
stood before blm. One of them was the
owner of the adjoining claim; the other
was the Sheriff. f
"I have come to " began the offl.
cer.
"Yes, yes, I know." Williams of
Ehode Island rose heavily to his feet
"It's all right Just go ahead. I can do
nothing."
The sheriff looked at him curiously.
"Oh, 'taln't quite so bad as that," he
laughed. "I 'did 'low on makln' a levy;
but Kansas here has been tellln' me
something that has changed my plans.
You needn't bother about the bill jest
now."
"I s'pose yon heerd 'bout my luck?"
Kansas asked, blandly.
"I've got a pretty vein," Kansas went
on frnnkly; "but bit dtps to'ard you
una' land. If that's a pocket I 'low
hit's acrost your line. I don't s'pose
ye'd be wlllln' to sell out, clean; but if
ye'll go pards I'll give ye ten thousand
for a half share," He waited a moment
but as there was no reply, added: "111
make It twenty for a clean job; but of
course ye won't quit?"
Williams of Rhode Island looked
down Into the valley, and up the moun
tain; and then across to the east, where
the sun was Just rising above the pines.
"Yes, I'll quit," he said, huskily; "you
can buy me out clean. I'm going homo."

FISHING IN THE YELLOWSTONE.
Tront CauKht and Bollad In the Same
Stream.
People returning from the west fre
quently have some wonderful stories
to relate of how they caught trout in
the Yellowstone Park and, without
changing their seat lifted the fish out
of the stream of cold water, over into
a boiling spring, and cooked It with
out removing it from the hook. These
stories are all very veil In their way,
but when told In the manner above
outlined one can safely put them down
as yarns without the slightest foun
dation In fact To catch a fish in a
stream of cold water and lift it over
into a spring of boiling water Is oue
of the many curious things that are
possible only In the Yellowstone Park,
but, should the person so doing at
tempt to draw the fish out of the boil
ing spring the head would pull oft
the thoroughly boiled and perfectly
soft body and be would thus lose the
fish.
The most wonderful phenomenon of
this ort In the Yellowstone Park Is
one that has thus far escaped those
who are fond of telling big fish yarns,
mainly for the reason that the locality
lies outside the beaten track of travel
and visitors and can only be reached
after considerable difficulty. At the
Point In question a stream of clear,
cold water flows through the park,
receiving in its course the scalding
hot waters of one of the numerous
bofV Pring of that region. This
boiling-vaster, as it reaches the cold
strWm, flows for a considerable dis
tance along one bank before the waters
finally mingle and become one in tem
perature. Into this spring of boiling water, in
sects, bugs, toads, grasshoppers and
the like are continually dropping and
thus losing their lives, and all such
Insects are, as a matter of course,
wept Into the cold-water stream. Now
In the cold water of this stream a
number of hungry trout are continual
ly skirmishing along the edge of the
bot water, taking good care not to ven
ture too close, for the purpose of snap
ping up and devouring the Insects
brought down by the hot water and
which happen to float over Into the
cold water, or near enough the border
for the trout to pick them up, so that
it is possible for a fisherman sitting
on the bank, to catch a trout wiw
a hook and line, draw him two feet
from where be took the hook, and
boll him eood and done, all In the same
stream, and without even lifting the
fish from the water.
The fisherman would, of course, have
to have a scood net to remove the
tolled trout from the water, for other-
vise the head would pull off, leaving
the body In the water. But barring
Ms, says the Washington Post it Is
within the bounds of truth for one to

Where Wax Is Mined.
In several parts of the world a resin
ous substancecalledoaooerite and bear
ing considerable resemblance to bees
wax Is found, usually ln connection
with rock salt and coal. There are de
posits ln Austria, Russia, Roumanla,
Egypt, Algeria, Canada and Mexico,
but ozocerite has, so far, not been dis
covered in sufficient quantities to pay
for mining anywhere except In the dis
trict of Roryslav, In Austrian Galicla,
and on an Island on the west coast of
the Caspian Sea.
In mining this mineral wax shafts
are sunk until a bed or "nest" of ozo
cerite is struck. Then connecting gal
leries are drives. There is considerable
danger and many lives have been lost
in consequence of the sudden forcing
up of the soft wax into the shafts by
the enormous pressure to which It is
subjected. It Is used largely for man
ufacturing ceresin, says the Brooklyn
Citizen, which Is employed, together
with beeswax, for making wax candles,
ns well as In the manufacture of phono
graphic cylinders, and for many similar
purposes.

SUFFERED SEVEN YEARS.
WITH CATARRHAL DERANGEMENTS OF THE
PELVIO ORGANS.

Miss Kate Brown, recording secretary
of the L. C. B. Association of Kansas,
in a letter from 605 N. Seventh St.,
Kansas City, Kan., says:
"For seven years I have not known
what it was to spend a well day."
I caught a severe cold, which I neg
lected,. It was at the time of menstru
ation and inflammation set in and pros
trated me. Catarrh of the Kidneys
and bladder followed, my digestive
organs gave way, in fact the cold disar
ranged my whole system.
'I spent hundreds of dollars with
doctors and medicine, qut derived but
little benefit until I began treatment
with Peruna. I kept taking it for near
ly nine months before I was completely
cured, but I kept growing better, grad
ually, so that I felt encouraged to con
tinue taking Peruna until my health
was restored. I send my thanks and
blessings to you for Peruna." Miss

These atmospheric poisons are breathed into the lungs and taken ns
by the blood, and the foundation of some long, debilitating illness is laid.
Chills and fever, chronic dyspepsia, torpid and enlarged liver, kidney
troubles, jaundice and biliousness are frequently due to that invisible foe,
Malaria. Noxious gases and unhealthy matter collect in the system because
the liver and kidneys fail to act, and are poured into the blood current until
it becomes so polluted and sluggish that the poisons literally break through
the 6kin, and carbuncles, boils, abscesses, ulcers and various eruptions of aa
indolent character appear, depleting the system, and threatening life itself.
The germs and poisons that so oppress and weaken the body and destroy
the life-giving properties of the blood, rendering it thin and watery, must
be overcome and carried out of the system before the patient can hope to
get rid of Malaria and its effects.

CURED.
A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
It is more often, however, the cause
of some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body
but what is liable to become seriously
deranged by a neglected cold. Diseas
es of the kidneys, bladder and digestive
organs are all frequently the result of
neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on
doctors and medicines trying to cure
these diseases, but until the true cause
of them is discovered there will be no
use in using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi
cine and constipation medicine is of
no good whatever when catarrh is the
oauee. The catarrh must be treated.
The cause being removed, the derange
ments will disappear.
Pernna cures catarrh of thedisgestive
organs, the urinary organs or any of the
internal organs.

The demeanor and actlona of the lit

remind one over and over again of the
traits attributed to the brownie and
goblins of our fairy stories. Their re
markable power of becoming invisible
by adroit hiding in herbage and behind
rocks, their probable habits In sterile
or open countries of making their
homes in holes and caverns, their mis
cbievousneas and prankish good na

some race like this which Inspired moat

The dwarfs of the Kongo forest can
be good or bad neighbors to the big1
black people, according to the treat

depredations on the banana groves or
their occasional thefts of tobacco or
maize are condoned, or even If they
