RAW EGGS,
Mr. Richard's Experience With Dif

Buttermilk for Three Years.
Cecilton. Md. Mr. George Richards.
of this place, during the past 12 years,
has probably tried more different diets
than the average person would ever use .
in a lifetime.
What he has to say about his experi
ments, must therefore be highly interest
ing to anyone sufiering from indigestion
or stomach troubles of any kind. .
He says: "For more than 12 years,'
I suffered with stomach troubles, and
paid hundreds of dollars for doctor bills
and medicines. 1 was also operated on
for piles.
1 lived on dried peaches and buttermilk
for nearly three years. The only tiling
that w ould not give me pain was raw eggs.
I was a physical wreck. I could not
sleep, and was as near crazy as a mat
could w ell be. 1
I must say that after taking two 25-cenf
packages of Thcdford's Black-Draught,
it did me more good than all 1 ever spent
for other medicines. I
I have been working daily on the farm
ever since, and I am as hard as iron."

The Wives of
PineFlat
A New Version of an Old
Roman Legend
By F. A. MITCHELL
There were two settlements monj
the Nevada silver mlues In which from
the first was a rivalry. These were tut
yuartz Gulch and the Pine Flat peo
ple. Both were a bad lot The Quart!
Gulchers had one good man among
them, while the Pine Flatters were all
bad. The good man at yuaru Gulcb
wasn't good because he was naturally
inclined that way. but because he own
ed pro?rty In the Gulch that he would
like to make valuable, and he was pre
vented from doing so by the reputa
tion of the town. No one would luvest
money there, no one would even couie
there to Investigate.
Pete Wilklus, this so called good man
of Quartz Gulch, sat down one day for
a lob of thinking with a view to find
ing some way to better the morals of
bis fellow citizens. He considered the
feasibility of shutting off their liquor
supply, or corrallng all the weapons lu
the settlement under lock and key, of
Inducing an evangelist to. come among
them and impregnate them with reli
gious principles. It didn't seem to Mr.
WUkins that any of these plans were
feasible.
At last WUkins got down to the foun
tain head of all refinement woman. If
he could only get some respectable wo
men In the camp he believed they
would act as a palliative upon the men
and eventually bring about a better
state of morals. The first difficulty
was to find the women, the second to
get them to the Gulch and the third to
keep them there long enough to pene
trate the outside coating of villainy and
get a hold on the men's better nature.
He didn't mind the disappointment the
women would experience In expecting
to secure husbands aud homes, hut he
didn't like to be put In for a failure.
It occurred to him to Interest the men
in his project. There would be no dif
ficulty In securing their approval of
bringing lu the women. The trouble
would be to Induce them to behave In
such a fashion as to Induce their more
delicate partners to remain. He called
a meeting of the citizens aud thus ad
dressed them:
"Pards, I lieen thlnkln' o' some way
o' glttin' the better o' them galoots
down on the flat, and I think I've hit
the null gqitnre on the head. I'm goip'
to send for a carload o' the best lookln'
aud most respectable women to he
found In the east to be sent out here to
beautify tho town."
There was a yell of approbation, and
the orator continued:
"What we want Is decent homes,
and you can't make a home without a
woman lu it. All I'm afeard of Is that
if we Induce good women to come In
and start homes for us you fellers 'II
scare 'em away."
Cries of "We won't!" "Try us!"
"Bring 'em on and see!"
A collection was taken up, and a suf
ficient sum was raised for the purpose.
The scheme was popular both because
of the coming of the fair sex and top
ping the Inhabitants of Pine Flat. Pete
WUkins was appointed a committee of
one to carry out the project and at
once opened up a correspondence with
a society culled the Helping Hand lu
au eastern city, aud arrangements for
a first shrpinent of young women who
needed homes were made. If these
reported favorably on their reception
and the prospects before them another
shipment was to follow.
The probability is that all would have
worked well had It not boon that cer
tain citizens of the town were so puffed
up with pride at their prospective out
doing of Pine Flat that they must
needs crow over their rivals before
their chickens were hatched. When It
was learned by those of the Flat that
the Gulchers were going to have a
cargo of women sent out from the east
there was a feeling among the latter
that something must be done. Various
propositions were made to see this in
novation and go their rival one better,
but they were either Impracticable or
absurd. One stupid churl suggested
that they send for a cargo of monkeys;
another that a, number of wax figures
In the show windows of city stores be
bought up and placed In the windows
of the shanties, suggesting the presence
of a housekeeper.
One suggestion was received with a
howl of delight. Aarjn Skinner, who
before going to the bad had taught
school, thus spoke to a crowd of his
fellow citizens who were debating the
question:
"It seems to me." he said, "that hy
blabbln' the Gulchers have given us
an advantage over - 'em. What we
want to do is first to lay our plan and
Diea shoot any one of our number we
see heading for the Gulch, so that he
cun't give it away. There was once
a lot of fellers who started a towi
they named Rome. Not far off was
another town, the people of which
were called Sablnes. The Romans
were as bad off for want of women as
we or the Gulchers, but the Sablnes
had plenty of 'em. The Romans Invit
ed the Sablnes with their wives and
daughters to a blowout, and at a sig
nal the Romans picked up the women
and run 'em off. Now, what 1 propose
is to go out aud meet these gals that's
coming to the Gulchers liefore they
git to the end of the Journey aud run
'em lu here."
.las. C. Dahlmunn, serving his third
term as Mayor, Omaha, Nebr., again
was successful in receiving the over
whelming support of the voters in the
primary election. He also successfully
rid himself of a bad case of kidney
trouble by the aid of Foley Kidney
Pills, and writes: "I have taken Foley
Kidney Pills and they have given me a
great ileal of relief, k I cheerfully
recommend them." What Foley Kid
ney Pills have done for Mayor Dahl
niann they will do for any other person
bothered with backache, rhuuiatism, or
any other form of kidney or bladder
trouble. Just try them foi quick and
perinancnent results. C. A. Platli.
Judgloi from the rtea of approba
tion that ret thla proposal, the school
master bad touched a r.:ponstve chord.
A hundred pistols were flourished to
boot any man who gave the scheme
away. The proposer agreed to get
himself posted as to the route, and
the time of arrival of the women in
the neighborhood, and volunteers were
forthcoming to watch the territory be
tween the Flat and the Gulch to mate
sure that tb secret was not trans
mitted. Deadhead station so railed from the
fact that no man who boarded a tram
there would pay his fare was the
point of JuucUod between Quartz i
Gulch aud the railroad. The station !
was fifteen miles from the Gulch aud
ten miles from the Flat The school
master rode over and learned from the
telegraph operator the day and hour
the women would arrive. Their train
would reach the station at G o'clock in
the morning.
At 3 o'clock the same morning a
company marched from the Flat escort
lug several empty wagons to a station
on the railroad six miles farther east
than Deadhead. When the train drew
up at the platform a committee pur
porting to be Gulchers went aboard
the train and politely Invited the la
dies to alight, statlug that they had
divided to take them ofT there In- 1
stead of I)eadhead. The women im- i
mediately gathered their belongings
and left the train. There were tweu
ty of them, and they filled the wagons
that had been brought to carry them
to Pine Flat, whither they were escort
ed by the citizens of that place.
When the train arrived at Deadhead
without Its precious freight aud the
Gulchers learned bow they had been
tricked their fury was like that of a
ragiug prairie fire. They held a con
ference, at which for half an hour all
talked at once, thus losing half an hour.
By the time they were ready to llsleu
to reason it was evident that their
property would arrive In the enemy's
camp long before the Gulchers could
get there and the Flatters would have
abundant time to plan a defeuse. WU
kins, who saw thut they had lieen out
witted beyond hope of recovery, coun
seled a return to their shanties aud
sending for another carload of the
same kind of freight. He contrived to
bring enough of the men to his way of
thinking to render It Impossible for the
rest to recover the women by force
The disapixdnted men returned to the
Gulch, Bouie cursing the mismanage
ment of those In charfre of the affair,
some swearing vengeance on the Flat
ters, while one crusty old fellow who
hud been married, but hud gone west
to escape from a termagant wife, said
they didn't know when they were well
off.
WUkins set himself energetically
about getting a new shipment, but the
eastern parties who had made the con
signment would do nothing further till
they had heard from the women who
had already been sent. The reports
they made were at lirst not reassuring
At least the consignors looked upon the
carrying off of the women by those for
whom they were not Intended as in
dicative of a very wild social condi
tion and wrote Wilklus that they would
take no further steps as to future con
signments. When this communication was re
ceived the men of Quartz Gulch, who
were called together to hear it read, re
solved, every one. to march against
their enemies aud either get the wom
en or die. Six weeks hud elapsed, and,
though the distribution of twenty wo
men as partners for more than a hun
dred men came very near breaking up
the settlement. It was finally left to the
former to choose their mates, which
they did. and soon the women were
all married. They did- not know
till the last wedding had taken place
that they were captured property. But
this mode no difference to them. In
deed they rather admired their hus
bands for tlj'ir enterprise.
But one day a citizen of the Flat
came galloping into town shouting,
"The Gulchers are coming!" Every
ablebodied man, some with rides, the
rest with revolvers, were marching on
the towu. The Flatters had at first
looked for this invasion and prepared
themselves for it, but after so long an
Interval it was unexpected. The long
roll was beaten, or, rather, a big dinner
bell was rung in the center of tho towu,
the signal that had been agreed on six
weeks before when the robbery had
been perpetrated. On the arrival of the
enemy the defenders of Pine Flat, or,
rather, of the twenty wives within it,
were drawn up in battle array, and as
soon as tho former were within shoot
ing distance the fight began.
But a few had fallen, and they only
wounded, when the wives ran out and,
rushing lu between the hostile lines,
forced the contestants to cense firing.
Then they told the men who had come
for them that they were married, were
already engaged In beautifying their
homes and that nothing would Induce
them to leave their husbands. The
Gulchers, they said, might as well go
back home, for even If they conquered
the women would not go with them.
WUkins said he thought he could draw
off his men If the women would prom
ise to write such accoiiuts of their sit
uation as would induce a new bevy to
come out to Quartz Gulch. This the
ladles agreed to do, and the enemy
marched away.
In due time another consignment ar
rived ticketed for the Gulchers, and,
fearing another raid upon their proper
ty, the latter marched under cover of
the ulght to a station where they were
quite sure they would find their yet
unseen wives. But their enemies scorn
ed to be piggish Indeed, they bad no
need to he. for they had arranged for a
shipment on their own account. The
Gulchers' loud arrived safely, and both
Quartz Gulch and Pine Flat are now
eminently respectabla places.
