Blind

Sometimes persons become blind
from "impure blood, which develops
scrofulous ulcers'on the eyeballs", iritis,
granulated eyelids, etc. In such cases
I-Iood’s Sarsaparilla has been marvel-
ously successful in restoring sight.
It shows its powers as a blood purifier

and radical cure for scrofula, by
removing the causegsthus curing the

Sore

eyes and restoring all the affected
parts to healthy condition. Read this:

“As an act of justice and for the ben-
efit of other mothers who may have
afliicted children, I write this. About
the first of February, 1892, my daughter
Zo‘la, then three years old, contracted sore
eyes of the rorst form and in a few weeks
was entire y blind, being unable to tol—
erate light of any kind. She suffered and
cried until I was almost heartbroken.
The best eye specialist in the county
treated her for months, but the

became worse. Then I took her to a special-
ist in Indianapolis, who said he could do
nothing. I came away with a heavy heart.
I met my father’s physician, Dr. Berry-
man, who examined Zola’s eyes, and told
me to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. .. I began to
give it as directed and wash her eyes
with warm water. Soon I began to notice
improvement, and now, having given the
child over a half dozen bottles, her eyes
are greatly improved and she can see as
well as any one. She is five years of age,
and goes to school. When she began to
take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, she had to eat
her meals in a darkened room, but now

u red

she is able to sit at the table with the
rest of the family.” MRS. OLLIE BUSER,

CLAUDIUS SMITH’S BOOTS.

Haunted, Folks Said, After Their
Owner Was Hanged.

Three Men IVho Wore Them Killed by
Rattlesnakes—A Doctor's Explanation
of a Story Told Up in the
Schunnemunk Mountains.

 

“N 0 one in the Schunnemunk moun-
tains will ever forget the story of
Brainard Pierson’s haunted boots,”
said Christy Lord of that historic part
of Orange county. "The story dates
back a. good ways, but it’s' always new
and fresh along the old Schunnemunk.

“Brainard Pierson’s boots, so the
story goes, were the very boots that
Claudius Smith kicked off his feet just
before he ‘was hanged at Goshen in the
revolutionary times. Claudius Smith
was the bloody Tory cowboy who, with
his following of cutthroats and robbers,
terrorized the Schunnemunk and sur-
rounding country for years. His moth-
er was a pious woman, who lived near
the Bamapo Pass, and when she found
she couldn’t turn Claudius from his
evil ways, she exclaimed one day:

“ ‘Oh, my poor son! You will die with
your shoes on, like a trooper’s horse.’

“After the patriots had at last
captured the desperado, and he was
taken to the gallows at Goshen, he
kicked his boots off as'the rope. was
placed about his neck, and exclaimed:

“ ‘My mother said I would die like a
trooper's horse, with my shoes on. I
will make her out a. liar.’

“Those were Claudius Smith’s last
words. His boots, through some man-
ner of succession, at last fell into the
possession of Brainard Pierson years
after the cowboy was hanged. I've
often heard my father say that when
folks heard that Braimu'd' had got
Claudius Smith’s boots they went to
him and said: '

“ ‘But of course you ain’t going to
wear ’em, Brainard ?’

“To which Brainard replied:

“ ‘Ain’t I? Well, but I am, though,
most surely!’

“Then, as my fatherused totell, folks
said to Brainard:

“ ‘Woe to you, Brainard Pierson, if
you wear those boots! N ot for all the
treasure Claudius Smith buried in old
Schunnemunk would we wear those
boots! There’s blood on ’em!’

“And you must know that was saying
a. good deal, for Claudius Smith hid in
the Schunncmunk mountains thousands
upon thousands of dollars' worth of

. treasure which he and his gang stole

from the patriots, and it’s there yet.
It was put away so snug that although
the mountains have been dug over from
top to bottom and end-to end, no one
has ever been able to find that treasure.
So, of course, it must be there yet.
Well, when folks warned Brainard
against wearing the Tory cutthroat’s
boot-s, and told him there was blood on
’cm, he. answered back, so my father
said, that. he hadn’t. noticed any blood
on ’em. ‘

“ ‘And even if there is,’ Brainard said,
‘I’ll walk it off tomorrow, for I’m
going to drive some cattle drown Jersey
way. I couldn’t get a pair 0’ boots like
these for the price 0’ the best critter
I’ve got.”

“80 Brainard put on the boots and
strutted around in ’em proud as a pen-
cock. But folks shook their heads and
said:

“ ‘Not for all that Claudius Smith hid
in old Schunnemunk would we wear
his boots.’

“Brainard Pierson laughed, and next
day started with his cattle down Jersey
way, wearing the dead Tory’s boots.
Somewhere down near the Ilamapo
Pass a man coming this way met a
drove of cattle. They went on by,
and the man noticed that no drover was

behind them. He \" ‘rt on. He had gone.

a quarter of a n. or so when he al—
most stumbled outr a man lying in the
road. He noticed that the man had on
a remarkably fine pair of boots, but he
started back in terror as he saw a rat--

tlesnake lying near his feet. Discover-

ing that .the serpent was dead, he ad-
vanced and was horrified to see that the
prostrate man’s face was black and
swollen, and that he was dead. It was
plain that the rattlesnake had bitten
the man, who had then killed the snake
before he was overcome by its venom.

“The dead man was Brainard Pier-
son. ,The discoverer of the tragedy
sought the nearest help, and the rattle-

.snake’s victim was brought home to

Sehupnemunk. The head of the snake
had been crushed by a stone, and one of
its fangs was gone. The snake had hit-
ten elear through one of the boots
Brainard were, and’ a tiny puncture on
his ankle showed where the deadly
venom had entered to do its deadly
work. '

“ ‘Claudius Smith’s boots!’ was the
first exclamation that folks made when
Brainard Pierson was brought home
dead from a. rattlesnake bite. ‘Thr-Ie’s
blood on ’em, and we told him so!’

“For a long time nothing was talked
about. all through the Schunnemunk
country but lirainard Pierson’s haunt-
ed boots, and the avvful fate that Brain-
ardinet with because he flew in the
, .

 

Somehow or other, though, Brainard’s

how it was that he wouldn’t have been
struck by the rattlesnake if he hadn’t
had Claudius Smith’s boots on, and so
the boots remained in the family.
There was no one big enOugh yet Ill-the
family to wear. boots, and so 'they
were put to one side. And there they
remained unused for ten years. Then
the house was robbed one night.
Among the property stolen were the
haunted boots. There was a great
time among folks when this became
known. They declared that they ought
to ride in all directions on fleet horses
and hunt the robbers down. ~

“ ‘Not so much because he’s a rob-
ber,’ they said, ‘but to keep him from
wearing them haunted boots. We can
jail him for being a. thief. It’ll be a
capital punishment if we let him wear
Claudius Smith’s boots.’

“If they did any riding they didn’t
overtake the robber in time to warn
him against the fatal boots. Two days
after the robbery young George Pier-
son, Brainard’s son, was hunting on
Seven Springs mountain, and, going
over to one of- the springs to get a
drink, he found a dead man lying near
it, black in the face and swollen. Near
by the body lay a big bundle. The dead
man had on the stolen Claudius Smith’s
boot! Young Pier-son pulled off the
boots. On the man’s right ankle was
a. little purplish—red puncture.

“ ‘A rattlesnake had struck him,.as
sure as fatel’ exclaimed young Piersou.

“The bundle contained the things
stolen from the Pierson family. George
backed them home, and brought the
boots along. Then he spread the news
about finding the robber on Seven Springs
mountain, dead from a. rattlesnake's
bite. .

“ ‘And the haunted boots?’ folks
asked.

“ ‘He had ’em on,’ said young George.

“ ‘Claudius Smith might just as well
be living and prowling and butchering
along old Schunnemunk again,’ they
said, ‘if we’re going to keep them
haunted boots of his working for him!’

“But still the Pierson folks couldn’t.
see what Claudius Smith’s boots had to
do with rattlesnakes biting peOpIe, and
they kept the boots. No one ever knew
who the dead robber was, and they
buried him on the mountain.

“ ‘Seems queer, too,’ folks said, ‘that
if Claudius Smith is haunting the boots
he’d turn ’em against a robber.’

“Several years went by again before
anyone else wore the haunted boots.
Then a relation of the Pierson folks,
who lived down in the Ringwood valley,
came visiting them. He saw the boots,
and took a great fancy to ’em. He
wanted to buy ’em, although he knew
.the fate of the only,r two, persons who
had worn ’em in years.

“ ‘There ain’t any rattlesnakes in our
section,’ said he. ‘I’ll risk the haunt.’

“The Pierson folks wouldn’t sell him
the boots, but they made him a. present
of ’em. He took ’em home with ’em.
Some folks say that he didn’t tell his
father-in—law the story of the boots
wheny he made him a present of ’em
after he got home, and some say he
did. At any rate, the father-in-Iaw
had a. good deal of property which
would go to this Pierson relation’s wife
when her father died, and her father
was in the best of health. The son-in-
law made him afipresent of Brainarrl
Pierson’s haunted boots. The father-
in—law put ’em on one day and went
for a. walk. Net long afterward he
came staggering back home.

“He was a. dead man an hour later,
with a black swollen face and body.
On his right ankle was the mark of a
rattlesnake bite, as there had been on
Brainard Pierson’s and onthe dead rob-
bers. And there was not a rattlesnake
in all that country! The father—in-law
of the Pierson relation was dead before
the doctor could get there. The doc~
tor was told' the story of the haunted
boots. Sei'zing the right boot,he slashed
it down to the ankle with his knife.
Something white fell from it to the.
floor. The doctor picked it up. He
examined it for a moment. .

“ ‘A rattlesnake’s fang,’ said he. ‘And
there’s poison enoughyet in its channel
to kill another man!’ _ .

“It was the missing fang of the snake
that had bitten Brainard Pierson. It
had been pulled from its socket by the

taken of it. Held fast thus, with its
point on the inside, contact with it had
been of sufficient force to puncture the
ankles of the persons who had since
worn the boot. The venom, though
dry, was still potent, and its work as
deadly as when it lay in its sack in the
rattlesnake’s jaw. That was what the
-doetor said.

“ ‘S‘posin’ he'does say so?’ Schunne-
munk folks said. ‘If Brainard Pierson
hadn’t worn Claudius Smith’s boots the
rattlesnake wouldn’t left his fang in
’em, would it? ISO it was Brainard
Pierson’s haunted boots that done it,
and that’s all there is to it!’

“And a. good many Schunnemunk
folks think so to this day.”——N. Y. Sun.

It takes a Yorkshire man to make a

Tyke missed his mark when he tried

taking in a. Neophyte in the horse busi-

ness.

Said the dealer:

“Now there’s a little ’oss I can war-
rant. He’s a. clever, perfectly-trained.
snaffle-bridle hunter, and fast; up. to

If he could only trap rabbits, manage
foreign and fancy poultry, rear pheas-
ants, do a little plain gardening, milk

A Woman’s Courage.

I saw a woman do a courageous act
in San Rafael yesterday. Some little
children were playing ball on the street,
when a. big black dog ran up and sprang
at a six-year-old boy. He threw" up
both hands and screamed. The dog
sprang toward him again, but did not
quite reach him. The little fellow was
paralyzed with fear, and could do noth-
ing but scream as the dog made re-
peated springs at- him. A woman on
the opposite side of the street saw the
little fellow’s peril, and looked around
for help. Then, seizing a large stone,
she ran up and hurled it at the brute.
It. turned tail and ran down the street
as fast as it could go, till it overtook
the stone, picked it up, trotted back,
laid it at the woman’s feet, and stood
wagging its tail for her to throw it
again. The dog wanted to play ball,
too—San Francisco Post.

“When you come to think of it it is
wonderful how many men have
achieved distinction in youth,” said the

“Possibly, possibly,” replied the

wonderful than that.”

“Such as what ?”

“Well, the number of young men who

convinced—Chicago Post.

THE OLD YELLOW RIVER.
Romance of the Wreck and Recovery of
the Twilight’s Cargo. _

One fdggymorni'ng just about dawn in
August, 1865, the side-wheel stéambc'mt
Twilight was making her way‘cautious-
ly up the Missouri river. In the wheel-
house the pilot stood, dripping with
the heavy mist, calling to the wheel-
man: , '

“Keep her jackstafr‘ on the lone c0tton-
wood on the starboard shore and swing
her stern around.”

The Twilight was chug-chugging
along slowly against the current. Right
ahead was a. bend in the river. Sudden-
ly there was a. jar. The hog chains
snapped with a. report like a cannon and
the boat, heavily “bogged” or bulged
up in the middle, began to sink. She
had struck a. huge submerged sycamore
tree of huge dimensions, havinggot out
of the channel in the fog.

The passengers were on red for by
the farmers in the vicinity and taken to
Kansas City, 20 miles distant, by a boat
that came up the river that night. The
cargo of the Twilight was very rich. It
was composed of 3130 barrels of whisky,
hundreds of cases of wines, liquors and
canned goods and a large stock of gen-
eral merchandise.

For several years she lay on the log :

in the river, visible when the water was
low and again covered. She was a.
thing of fascination to country boys,
who dreamed of all sorts of exploits to
get the treasure out of her. Thr :c was
an air of mystery about her that thrilled
the farm lads like the tales of Capt.
Kidd or the stories of the adventures of
wreckers.

Four years after she was sunk an un-
successful attempt was made to get the
cargo. Several years after that farmers
in the vicinity got two barrels of
whisky out of her and when they went
for more she could not be found. The
treacherous river had shifted and she
was buried in a sand bank. Then the
river cut in along the south bank close
under the bluff and the great rise of
1887 made a sand bar on top of her.
buried her deep and left her far inland
under 39 feet of sand, 1th.) yards from
the bank of the river at high water and
half a. mile from shore when the river
was down. ~

Last year a number of Kansas City
gentlemen organized; a company to re-
cover the sunkcn cargo. By a series of
ingenious mechanical devices they lo—
cated the wrcck inaBO-feet of.water and
found the freight; in comparatively
good condition. There have been man y
interruptions of the work, but a. large
part of the merchandise has already
been recovered. '

The 300 barrels of whisky in the bold
are in a. perfect state of preservation.
One of them was tapped and the whisk y
was found to be beyond compare. A
glass of is, which was poured out before
a. company of men in the Kansas (Lit y
club, filled the entire floor with its
aroma. It was thick and oily, almost
of the consistency of New Orleans m0-
lasses, and after the glass was emptied
it clung to the sides assirup would.

The whisky will not'be taken out
until the government officials shall be-
come satisfied that it is tax free. The
taxes were paid at the distillery where

the stuff was mademore than 30 years'

ago.

There is a rumor-that abaft of where
the whisky was found'is the purser’s
cabin, and in it is a. safe containing a.
large sum of money, which was being
carried from St. Louis to up-river mer-
chants and army posts. The money
question. however, is forgotten for the
present in the joy of the wreckers at
the finding of the whisky. Speculation
is rife as to what will be the profits of
the wreckers. Experienced dealers say
that the whisky will, sell readily for at
least $400 a barrels—St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.

THE FACE IN ILLNESS.

To the Trained Eye It Quickly Shows a
Patient’s Condition. ~

The face is a good index to the state
of one’s physical being, and from it
symptoms of disease can be detected
almost before the patient. is aware
that anything serious is the matter
with him. For instance, incomplete
closure of the eyelids, rendering the
whites of the eyes visible during sleep,
is a. symptom in all 'acute and chronic
diseases of a severe type; it is also to
be observed when rest is unsound from
pain, wherever seated.

Twitching of: the eyelids, associated
with the oscillation of the eyeballs, or
squint'mg, herald the visit of convul-
sions.

Widening of the orfices of the nose,
with movements of the nostrils to and
fro, point to embarrassed breathing
from disease of ’ the lungs or their
plural investment.

Contraction of the brows indicates
pain in the head; sharpness of the nos~
trils, pain in the chest, and a drawn
upper lip, pain in the abdomen.

To make a. general rule, it may be
stated that the upper third of the face
is altered in expression in affections
of the brain, the middle third, in the
diseases of the organs contained in the
abdominal cavity—The T rainedh’ ursc.

 

 

Pathos in Congress.

A very conspicuous and absurdly sen-
timental member of“ the house from
New England, who loves to weep over
the. wickedness of the world, and was
pathetic over pensions, gave utterance
to this burst of eloquence when the pen-
sion appropriation bill was under con-
sideration by the house: "Why did he
weep? Why did he weep? I say, Mr.
Speaker, why did he weep? I repeat,
Mr. Speaker, why did he weep? His
heart was broken. Yes, Mr. Speaker,
I knew this man. 'He died of a broken

heartl He'diedof'abroken heart. Irc-~

peat, Mr. Speaker, he died of a broken
heart! He never smiled again. They re-
fused him the pitiful‘ increase of tWo
dollars a- month on his pension. I say,
Mr. Speaker, he never smiled again. I
repeat, he never smiled again!” and
there were tears in the member’s voice
as he closed this outburst of pathos.—
