Die other day. a he with few of that scattered band of funiou fiRhters wr waiting for a train to Williams. "I fa atranKe coincidence I hut I aa wound ed when I waa a lieutenant. jut freah from Wet Point, oi the IMlh day of June, by Apachea out here, and it waa the 24th day of June, over 20 years later, I waa wounded at Loa Uusvmss, In Cuba, and nearly in the aame place." "I was nothing but a kid then, and waa atationed at Fort (irant. A ahort time afterward I waa ent to Fort Apuche during the outbreak in '73, built up the place, and waa helping to keep the red cusses in ahnpe there with a few men. I rode into the country on boraebatk, over 700 milea, and you'd have to rid "JO more milea to get to the neareit point on th railroad to the north. "We had been cooped up at For Apache for over four montha without any mail; the men were getting real lege guess it waa enough to mnke them rettleas. too, for we expected the whole herd of Apachea down on ua at any time. You never could tell w bat old Cieronlmo would do. On day the euptiiln gv me a detail of IS men and told me to go to Fort Grant for mail and a few npp'.lea. It waa over 100 milea and through the Indlnn country all the way, hllla and deaert where a juckrabblt would have trouble to kri p on a trail. About hnlf way out. eight of my troopera deserted. There waa no u in my trying to get them buck again, fur you couldn't find them in th ft rut place to get them back again, and I couldn't have took 'em back with me if I had found them, be cauae I didn't have enough men to dolt. "W had been dodging hoatll banda of Indians for aome tlin befor w hnd a bruah with them. Coming up through a long draw we Jumped up a band of about 10 or 20 and the music commenced. There waa no way of get ting in any funcy move on them, we were in the bottom of a long druw, or canyon, Jut about wld enough tor an ordinitry road. It waa either go ahead, retreat or climb a side of the eanyon. Ther waan't much to heal tute over; we would have had a long retreat down that draw and been potted if we attempted to climb the aidea of the cunyon. My sergeant waa an old timer, ai wer a number of my little hand. They knew aa well aa I did that the only thing that would aav ut waa a quick daah right into them something that the Indian can't aUnd a little bit unlca they outnumber you ten to one. W gav them a volley to atlr them up, and let them know we were coming, and had th aatiafnctlun of arelng three or four of them drop, then, yelling like a lot of hyenaa, we tarted down th draw on a dead run, headed straight Into them. Each trooper ewung out hli sis-shooter ready for a annp-thot at the flrat In dian he could reach. Th old aergeant woe cloie at my heela, with every fel low hugging down clot to th aaddlr. I turned half around In my saddle fust before wa at ruck them, ami aa I did so a bullet broke through my aaildle born and another cut through my veat aud ripped me acroaa the stomach about a half-Inch deep. "The Tachee couldn't aland th rush W run them up the canyon about a mile befor they could find any aide breiika to get out of and aeutter. We lost three troopera In the fight. After It waa over we went buck to where they were, rolled them in their blanket aud buried them among the roeka aa beat we could. 1 here wasn't much ceremony or teora for the poor fellow a we hadn't time for it; we all expected the tame thing all the time; beaidea there waa a aplendid poanlblllty of the whole bunch of ua going the aamc way lefore we got through, without anyone left to roll ua In a blanket. If the 'poor' In dian gathered In a band of blue-coats, he alao gathered up their hair, and left a flock of buunrda to do the rent. "After burying th troopera w truck a trail up the canyon aide and camped ill a clearing where w could command a view of the country sur- ruumllng, and doctored up our wound aa beat we could; mine waa painful, but only a lleih wound. 1 think I wua orrr over my ruined new coat and veat than from the wound. "The band of Indiana circled around our camp again that afternoon, and we exchanged long shot with them, without doing any damage to either id. A toon aa night came we atruek out for Fort llrant ai fast aa we could make It through th night, and eluded them. An Indian won't light at night, anyway, unlrsa you force him to. "We reached the fort late the next day. The cloier w came to It Uie leaa danger there was, for troops from the fort kept the country round pretty well cleaned up and (jufet. "We atayed at th fort for several daya, until our wound healed, before making a return trip. The colonel In command of the fort Inalatrd ou my ataylng there for a time, aa there were over Sou Inutile Indium on th warpath eattered all over that country, lie tobl me that it was fonllth to make the attempt, and never expected to see me alive again, but I waa young, and had told the captain I'd lie back aa on aa I could make the trip with th mail and aupplica, aud wouldn't amy. "I didn't know It at the time, but learned afterward, that the Indians I hail the running rVM w ith coming ovrr belonged to a lub-chirf and a relative of old f ieroiiiuio. but I found it nut cmiiing buck We hadn't been out two days when thev sighted o; luckily, II haeiu-d iut about sundown. They CONSUMPTION is almost as deadly as ever, al though physicians know they can cure itgenerally, beginning when most of the lungs are still sound, and even some times when a great deal of damage is done. The people don't know it yet. They have been told; but they don't believe it ; they don't act on it Scott's emulsion of cod-liver oil is one of the principal means of cure. There are other helps-: dry air, sunshine, country, sleep, regular habits, right clothing. M"" iu Prlii-a for Kodak I'icturva. I let a Kodak and win a PrUc.

We could near mem holding rewwows and singing while uking reparations to (Jungle our scalps III llieir Delta tne nexiouy. 1 remember I sat looking iuto the eampfire that night, wishing I waa back bom and wondering whut In thunder to do, when the old aergeont came over to me and aaked: "Lieutenant, you don't think we can llok tbet hull outfit, do you?" No, aergeant; I don't Whatdoyou think we'd better do?' "'Well. I think we bed better build up a big fir, so tbey kin sea It, then drift out of this.' "And we did. W struck a trail and followed it all that night. About day light wc found ourselves on a hill top and right in the center of an old, de serted Indian village. It waa that nlght'a trip that flrat gave me my high appreciation of th much maligned out government mul. Every mule in that pack train aeemed to understand the aituation and there waan't a whimper or a bray from any one of the lot until we had put a good nlght'a travel be tween ua and that gang of redskins. "We didn't have any more trim Uie in getting back to th fort, though we croaaed a number or warm truiia oi banda. I met the chief when he mine Into the fort a long time after to make praca, and he told me how many tlmea he had ahot at me ou that trip unit couldn't understand how It wua thut be never got me. "Th wound that I got at Loa Ouay maa, in Cubs, wss another lucky one too. Vou remember, Kellers, how A and I) troops of the regiment were lined up that day at the foot of the hill, and w wer getting a perfect hell of fire from th tipanlah entrenched up on top of the hill 7 Well, I was walking up aud down before my battalion, and had orders to hold them fast to pro tect our right flauk from the enfllailr fir on the right. I had just turned around and waved my glove at them to bold faat, and dropped m.v hand to my aide aguin, when a Maum r struck me in the arm. If I hadn't drooped in v arm juit as I did, the ball would have cut m straight through the center. It turned me around und knocked me down, but In a abort time I gathered myaelf up, went to the rear to ee how badly I waa hit, and found that the bone waa badlv ahatterrd. It wan three daya before 1 had the wound at tended to. There waa a lump on the ineld of my arm, and when the sur geon examined it he aald it was a piece of bone aticking out, and that he would have to cut It out. He mnilr u cut ihtiih the lump and out popped the bullet wrong end flrat. If It hnd come straight, aa most of them do. It would never have atopped in the arm, but went on straight through me. "The following day I wandered around back of the firing line trying to help the poor fellow that were worse off than I waa, and I remember seeing one of the A troop boys- Murk O'NicU'a company, coming down the road with trara running down hia cheeks and I thought he must lie wounded badly. He saw me and yelled: "'Hello, major, where la the firing line!' I told him It waa away on ahead In the other direction, hut the fight vna over. "Then he aeemed to feel worse than eve, and broke out with bs choice a lot of ornamrutal rusa words as I ever heard a mule dritrr grt rid of, and wound up by aaylng: " 'If a shame that a feller cornea all the way here from Arizona to fight and thea gets knocked out by the oil mat within a few yarda of the firing line.' "That forced march was the hardest I ver saw. Packed down with about SO pound of blankets, rations and oth er stuff In that hot country . we double- uuieked riirht by the nirulnra, that were coming up it a good kt iff gait, too, right straight Into trouble. 1'illows would drop out of the ranks along the line of march like they were shot, some of 'em wouldn't come to for a day or two after aud aome never were right afterw arda. "Teddy llooaevelt came over to my tent at four o'clock In the morning after the fight ami woke me up to tell tee that the Arliotin boys made his regiment. II said he knew that 1 knew it, but wanted to li 11 mc that he knew it and wanted to tell It first. "Therc'a a fellow, that Teddy; full of life, vigor and energy, that enjoys living mid fighting. I was In New York after he was elected gowrnor and went over to Albany to call i n him at the eapltol. I hardly expected to see him, as he waa busy, but thought I'd Juit send lu my raid to let him know I was In town. 1 nut the seere tary tit the door and nhiil him to take In my curd to the gmernnr. lie told mc there was no tne the iroti'riior was busy on some import. mt ease or other, and there were seieial deleca tions of lawyers arguing mmi ,-thiug be fore him. 1 insisted that he t:ike In the card, anyway, and handed it to him. He took a look at it and went In. In a minute he came back with u smile on hia face and said that the governor wanted me to come right in. "When I went in he squinted arrosa the room to see who it was. held up hia hands at the fellows talking, and rushed across the room to me with tilth hands stuck out- the sitnir old Teddy I knew In Cuba. After he talked a few minutes he turned. waed hia hand at the waiting lnwi-is with a look oil his face as much ns lo s:tyt 'See what rot I hove to stand all tho lime,' then said: 'It'e fun brim? gov ernor, though, and I rather like it.'

Tlu fanoy which sonio people have that doctors make frctiuont visits to run up hills is simply born of lack of knowledge of the delicacy and difficulty of the doctor's work. As a rule, when tlie doctor has reached the limit of his skill ho will say so, and refuse to take nc my for ...;-.. lehieh lu. knows must be unavail'ii''. l!"t even the most honest doctor soiueliim s falls into the error of l'miiting tlie possibilities ( a c me to tho measure of his own skill. He F'.ys, practic ally, "I havo exhausted all my kn -jwledtre and skill in the case. Nobody can do more than I can The patient cannot get well."' This state ment may be made in perfect go.'vl faith and in all honesty, and yet it is very oftvn proven wrung by the recovery of the patient as a result o-f .the use of Dr. Picic-.''s (iuIiU n Medical Discovery. "Jly sister (of Arlington. Washington Co., Neb.) was taken very sick ami had several doctors," writes Mrs. C. I,. Harrison, of Iilk City, iKwglas Co., Neb. "They could not do Iwr any good and told my mother the-)' would not come anv more, ns no doctor could help her, that she could not get well. She bad 'wasting of Hie digestive organs.' My mother said to my siiter, 'Well, I almost know mat Dr. fierce s meiiicines win cure ncr. So she Iwiiglit six bottles, three of Golden Medical Dis covery,' three of ' Favorite Prescription.' and some of the ' l'ellels,' and now niy sister is a well woman." The testimonial of Mrs. Harrison is an admirable illustration of the fact that honest doctors can be mistaken. Several doctors were in attendance. They said, " Wc w;ont come any mote as the pa tient ciin't pet well, and no doctor could help her," and yet the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery effected a complete cure. This is not an excep tional case. It has happened again and again that after doctors had decided no cure was possjole, a perfect cine has followed the use of "Gulden Medical Discovery." "I am truly glad that I cm do the least thing lo show my grati tude for your great niedi'-iiio," writes .Mrs. Mollie llirclilield, of Hundley, Kanawha Co., W. V 1. " I was taken six years ago with a severe pain iu my back. The sM)t seemed no larger than a twenty-live cent piece, and at times it worked around to my stom ach until I had no relief except when under the iulliieiice of mor phine. The pain would last longer every attack, until I finally a,.u or, t ict ...int..! nod did mil l.i.liiM t li,-o a A-,.. 1. ,.,.. ,ne iniserv was so ere.lt. I had no niMU'tite r.m! pruvpd eolil w:itr nil 111. tino I had eight doctors to see me a-nl all pronounced my trouble gall-stones. Some said I would get well, and others said not until I had the ga'.l-stones removed, but 1 Coil and Dr. Pierce that I am living, and have- h.ui no operation performed cither. look your treatment rigiu along aim u lias saved mv lite. No one thought they would ever i again see me m health. Just to think how 1 suffered for six lone' years, and here this prent 1 cure within reach ol me all the time, yet I did not think of it. After the first dose of your medicine' I did not have to take any more morphine. I have now taken twelve bottles of Dr. I'ierce's Golden Medical Discovery and ' 1-avr.ntc Prescription,' and now I can work all day with ease. No pains, and no morphine. I have a splendid appetite, sleep j;ood, anil feel like a new woman. 1 hoie no one will ever suffer as I did ami not try to get this great cure and blessing, for it is a blessing to the sick." It might be asked, with reason, " I low can Dr. IV i ce's (ioldeti Medical Discovery cure when so many doctor fail?" The answer must he that "Golden Medical Dis covery " is the product of a larger experience in disease and superior skill iu treatment than (heirs. Many a sailor can pilot his boat about the familiar waters of his own coast who would be powerless to accomplish an ocean voyage. Many a doctor can treat successfully certain familiar forms of disease who lin.ls" himself' helpless when the larger problems of complicated diseases confront him. Dr. I'ierce's Golden Med ical Discovery was perfected in years of study and expeiiciice. Dr. Pierce found that many diseases of organs remote from the stomach had their origin in diseases of tho stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. He argued that a medicine which would cure the diseased stomach and its allied organs, voiild also cure the dis eases in other organs when they were caused by disease of the digestive and nutritive tracts. To jiroduce such a curative medicine was the effort cf Dr. Pierce. His suc cess is testified to by thousands upon thousands of cures. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cities diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, and so enables the perfect nutrition of the body. Perfect nutrition is perfect health. 111,,,,.! is only digested food, aud a common cause of impure blood is food undigested. Tho " Discovery," tl.-rcforo, heals tho stomach and punln s the blood. It increases the blood supply and so strengthens the heat, liver, lungs, kidneys, etc., whose vitality and vigor depend on an abundant sup lily of purry blood. It cities biliousness and cleanses the blood from poisonous excreta, tho product of a sluggish liver. It builds up tho whole body with sound solid llesh, and gives new strength ami new life to worn-out, run-down, weak and emaciated men and women. if wm U 14 liiialiii!: 991 ; fffifiMS I Of f bilP :) !
