ihQ Appetite
May ba Increased, the Digestive organs,
strengthened, and tho bowels regulated,
by taking Ayer's Pills. These Pilla are
purely vegetable in their composition.
They contain neither calomel nor any
other dangerous drug, and may bo taken
with perfect safety by persona of all ages.
I was a great sufferer from Dyspepsia
and Constipation. I had no appetite,
and was constantly arHictod with Head
acho and Dizziness. I consulted our
family doctor, who prescribed for me, at
various times, without affording moro
than temporary relief. I finally com
menced taking Ayer's Pills. In a short
time my digestion and appetito

tirao I finished two boxes of these Pills
my tendency to headaches had disap-
Kiared, and I became strong and well.
arius JI. Logan, Wilmington, Del.
I was troubled, for over a year, with
Loss of Appetite, and General Debility.
I commenced taking Ayer's Pills, and,
before finishing half a box of this medi
cine, my appetite and strength were re
stored. 0. O. Clark, Danbury, Conn.
Ayer's Pills are tha- best medicine
known to mo for regulating the bowels,
and for all diseases caused by a disordered
Stomach and Liver. I suffered for over
threo years with Headache, Indigestion,
and Constipation. I had no appetite, and
u as weak and nervous most of the time.
BY USING
three boxes of Ayer's Pills, and at the
same time dieting myself, I was com
pletely cured. My digestive organs are
now in good order, and I am in perfect
health. P. Lockwood, Topeka, Kans.
Ayer's PdLs have benefited me wonder
fully. For months I suffered from Indi
gestion and Headache, was restless at
night, and had a bad taste in my mouth
every morning. Alter taking onojbox
of Ayer's Pills, all these troubles dis
appeared, my food digested well, and
my sleep was refreshing. Heniy C
Hemmenway, Rockport, Mass.
I was cured of the Piles by the use of
Ayer's Pills. They not only relieved me
of that painful disorder, but give me in
creased vigor, and restored my health.

"ET7EBED."
Were I asked to name the races
of the south I should answer:
"White, black and the mountain
eer." The latter belongs to a dis
tinctive race. While he may be
classed with the white as iar as
color goes, his tastes, habits, char
acteristics and mode of life are
peculiarly his own. If he likes
you he will make any sacrifice to
oblige you. If he hates you he
will seek your life with a deter
mination which nothing can damp.
The great world beyond his moun
tain home is a sealed book to him.
He lives in himself, by himself and
for himself.
I was riding over that spur of
the Cumberland mountains which
general Morgan (federal) held so
gallantly while Buel and Bragg
were driving eacn otner Dy turns
over Kentucky, when I lost my
way. The mountain trails of the
south are dangerous puzzles to a
stranger. They run up and down,
twist, turn, dodge, lose themselves
in dark ravines and seem to end
suddenly in dark and lonely gaps.
There is a feeling of loneliness
which you cannot shake off, and a
feeling of anxiety which rides with
you and keeps every sense alert.
Every rod of the trail has its am
bush, and every quarter of a mile
its cliff, seemingly ready to fall
upon you. I came to a spot where
three trails branched away. It
was luck and chance. I took one
which led me into a long dark ra
vine, where the summer sun has
not yet touched the icicles on the
rugged rocks nor coolled the
mountain rivulet pouring over the
moss grown ledges. After going
a mile I felt that I was wrong, and
was about to turn baoir, wnen a
voice suddenly called out through
the semi-darkness.
"Stranger you ar' kivered!"
throw up your hands!"
If that command ever reaches
your ears, obey it at once and do
your arguing subsequently. It
means that your head or heart is in
point blank range ot a bullet or
buckshot with a finger resting on
the trigger and ready to pull it if
you don't obey the summons.
Up went my hands.
After a . long halt minute a
mountaineer, who had a dead
sight on me with a double-bar'
relied shotgun across a point of
rock twenty feet ahead, stepped
into view on the trail and said:
'Stranger slip down!"
I slipped off the saddle.
"Now lead your mule up that
ravine to the right!"
I simply saw a man six feet high
straight as an arrow, long haired,
whiskers unkempt, dress that of a
mountainoer. Yes, I saw more.
Ho held the gn fair for my breast.
Una suspicious novo on my part
and I was a dead man. He spoke
in a low voice but there was that
in his tones which chilled me.
Without a second look at him I
took the mule by the bits and led
him up the ravine. We had not
gone twenty rods beforo I scented
a whiskey still. At the end of
five rods more we were in a rude
camp. Two moonshiners sal on a
log, guns across their knees, and
back of and below them a still was
running off its extract of corn.
"Ono ol them spies!" said the
man who had followed me as I let
go of the mule and sat down on a
stump.
"A good sketch!" growled one
of the sitters.
"Mighty-kind in him to come
yere!" chuckled the other. '
They were moonshiners, and
they took me for a. spy sent out
by the government-official of that
district. I looked from -one to the
other. There was a determination
in each look an implacable stern
ness of expression which would
have'warnedi a genuine spy that
his hour had come. Not one
glance of pity not one line of
mercy. A prisoner at the stak'e
among the Apaches would have
had more 'hope.
Tho men were law-breakers
outlaws being hunted after every
day in the year. Why? .Because
they were making a living keep
ing soul and body together in the
only way open to them. The bits
of valleys in the grim old Cumber
lands will grow corn and potatoes.
'The poUtoesare wanted for the ta
mo, xi mere is more corn man ice
razorMbacked.,bpg or tho shackling
miile'can'-consume, it is a aead loss.
Convey it to market two days to go
and two days to come, and sell it
for two bits a bushel, and the own.
er and seller would starve on the
way. Make it into a barrel or
two of whisky and it will bring
cash on the spot, or very near it.
It is not to grow rich, not hoping
to better his condition but sim
ply to live. It is against the law
of the land. The mountaineer
may grow ragged and hungry,
but he must not distill. It is the
only law he breaks. Aye! He
even lives closer, than the most of
us to all the commandments. He
is outlawed and hunted that offi
cials may make fees.
1 knew all this belore I looted
into the stern, set faces around me
and I knew why I looked in vain
for a gleam of mercy.
"1 am no spy," I said, as I
looked about me. "I am a trav
eler, making for Cumberland Gap,
and I've lost my way."
"Go np that path," commanded
the man who had captured me.
"Not until I satisfy you that I
am not a spy."
"Kiver him, Joe," whispered the
man to one of the 'others, and a
shotgun covered my breast again.
Tne leader ran down back the
ravine to be sure that no one had
followed us. When be returned
he said:
"Say yer prayers, stranger! Joe,
when I riz my hand do you -plug
tuml'
"Did any of you ever hear of
Joe Rickaby?" I asked, trying
hard to keep a steady voice.
"Wall, what if we had?" asked
the leader.
"About a year ago I found him
in jail in B . He had been there
for several months. He was sick
and out of money and I aided
him. Here's his name in mv note
book. See?"
The man with the gun lowered
his weapon and came closer and
asked:
"Was anybody else in the jail
Joe?"
"Yes half a dozen all moon
shiners. I sent in 2 worth of
pipes and tobacco, and I got ono
of them some quinine."
"He's the chap, sure's shooting!"
exclaimed the man as he turned to
the others.
"On my soul he is!" added the
leader as lie came up an'd removed
my hat.
"Durn our buttons!" whispered
the third.
In a minute more it was ' all
right, and they were shaking my
hand so vigorously that my shoul
der ached. The humble cabin a
quarter of a mile away was open
to me forevermore, and it was two
days before they wonld let go of
me to resume my journey. The
wife at the cabin had mone , per
ception than the men. She looked
me over and then said: ' -
"Oh! sassafrax, but you fellers
is all blind. Hain't he Yank all
over and all through? Whar's
the sunburn? , Whar's the lingo?
Whar'r the hoss-pistols? Purty
muss you'd have got yerselves in
to killin' a Yank, who don't keer
if every branch in the Tenneasee
runs cl'ar whisky! .Better not be
so handy with them guns arter
this."
The leader walked with me for
five miles when I left, and when
we parted he said:
"Strancrer, when I told ye to
say yer prayers I meant they
