> . I'V- Weak Worn out, nervous women, receive criticism where they should have ‘ sympathy. They cannot help being nervous, if their blood is impure. When the blood fails ‘to feed the nerves upon preper nourishment what can you expect but nervous prostra- tion, debility and nervous headaches? If the cause is found in impure blood, the cure must be in making the blood pure. This is just what Hood’s Sarsa- parilla does, and it has proved the true nerve tonic because it is the true blood purifier, and the solace, comfort and defender of thousands of housewives, Nervous teachers, clerks and other sufferers of of both sexes. Just read this letter: “I think it is my duty to tell what Hood’s Sarsaparilla has done for me and my family. Two years ago I was in a weak, nervous condition and had dreadful pal- pitations or jumping of my heart, fol- lowed by sinking spells, which would last for several minutes. Sometimes it would seem as though I would never come out of them. I was treated by the best physi- ;cians, but only for a little time did they éhelp me. I seemed to be growing worse :lnstead of better. I would often seem hungry, but 'when I ate, no matter how little, it would cause me such misery that I was often wicked enough to wish my— “self dead. I had that Tired languid, all-gone feeling and suffered aw- ful distress in my stomach. I had given up all hopes of ever being Well, when my mother wished me to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I consented, to please her, and before I had taken the whole of one bottle I could see I was improving, and soon was indeed very much better. Its effects have been truly wonderful and I hope this letter may be the means of help- ing other suffering men and ‘Women to try Hood’s Sarsaparllla and be benefited by it. We have used Hood’s Pills in our family and find them very excellent, es- pecially for constipation. We give Hood’s medicines great praise, and if anyone complains of feeling badly, I say ‘You should take Hood’s and only Hood’s.”’ MRS. KrrrIE SMITH, 326 Dane Street, Wa- terloo, Iowa.

Sintago Carried the Richest Pack in. the Train, and When He Took a. Short Cut the Trainmaster and a Trailer Followed. “Mexican burros as a rule are sociable creatures, and will keep together in a herd or pack train so closely that you have hard work to separate. one from the rest,” said Washington Himrod, a mining man from- Arizona. “Sintago, the one I am going to tell you about, seemed no exception. He was a. plain, everyday donkey with the regulation ears, drab skin, and black mark of the cross bet-ween. his shoulders. He had ,. behaved so well before that it surprised us all when he gave us the slip one day, and, what was worse, took his pack load along with him. It looked like misfortune when it happened, but it proved good luck for me in the end. Sintago was in the burro train which packed one from the Buena Cincha mine, in the Burro mountains, down to Cavallo station on the wagon trail. But none of us knew then that his first master had been a gambrusino who had driven him, packed with stolen ore, in and out of these mountains so many times that Sintago knew all the trails and short cuts as well as the Apaches did. . “At the time I was trainmastcr, in charge of all freighting for the. Buena Cincha, and had started from the mine with a- train of 20 burros loaded with ore in sacks. At Cavallo station four wagons were waiting for me to arrive. There I was to complete their loads with the one I brought and go on. with the wagons to Silver City. This was in the 70’s, when the Apaches were very troublesome, for the Chiricahua rene- gadcs, the remnant of Cochise’s band, were hiding in the Sierra‘Madre, down across the Mexican border, and they raided up into New Mexico and Arizona every little while. “For my train of 20 burros there were three Mexican packers. . I rode my horse in advance to see that the way was clear ahead. One of the Mexicans came next, heading the train, and the other two brought up the rear where they could watch the burros and their packs. Sintago was in the middle of the train, and he carried tiwo sacks filled with choice specimen ore to be shown in helping through a mine deal that was on at Silver City. The mine owners and the representatives of a syn- dicate that proposed to float our stock were there waiting for me. “From the mine to the station was a long day’s trip. It was some time near the middle of the afternoon when Sin- law-go left the train, though nobody saw him go. He managed the matter very neatly. It was in a canyon at a place v here the trail made a sharp turn, so that after passing it Sintago was out of sight from the Mexicans behind for .1 minute or two. He turned short off the trail, took five or six steps into the bushes, and stopped behind a big rock. The burros behind him, following the sound! of the bell ahead, kept to the trail, and had closed up the gap before the two Mexicans got round the turn. They did not notice that one was gone, and it was not until we got near the station, at five o’clock, that I found out that Sintago, with the specimens, was missing. “At the station the wagons were wait— ing. Of course I could not go with them and leave those Specimens behind. It took but a few minutes to load on the ore sacks and start the wagon off. Then I went back on the mountain trail, tak- ing along with me. Antonio Valjez, one of the packers, a. reliable man and good trailer. I had found a bronco for him at. the station, and I rode my own horse. The bronco would serve as a pack horse if necessary to bring the ore out of the mountains. We rode hot foot, and, be- fore darkness fell, we had found where the burro had turned off the trail and waited behind the rock. We traced his course up the mountain :1 little distance and then came back to the canyon, found a grassy place where our horses could feed, and, picketing them, lay down to sleep until morning. “With the first gleam of day we were off up the mountain side. None but an experienced trailer could have followed the tracks of a. burro’s unsh’od feet over the rocks and hard earth of the moun- tain side, but Antonio managed to trace them. But he didn’t take much stock in our finding Sintago—finding‘ him alive, at least. _ “ ‘Los osas‘, los leones—they get him first,’ he said. ‘Los Apaches mebbe.’ T “In the course of an hour we came to where the tracks turned off into an old horse trail, and after that the burro’s course was easily followed. Two hours later we came to a little vhlley, where Sintago had stopped to graze and then had started on. The trail wound among the mountains, making many crooks and turns, but I could see that its gen- eral course was easterly. It was a rugged road to travel, and we were not in a mood to enjoy fine landscape views. Sometimes it skirted the brink of steep precipiccs, and again "would lie along some grassy upland valley. It was at one of these that Antonio, who rode ahead, pulled rein and motioned for me to come up. There in the moist earth was the track of a grizzly bear follow- ing the trail of the burro. Antonio shook his head. ’3“ ‘That fellow get Sintago,’ he said. ‘We get the pack, mebbe. But the bur- ro—he eat up by this time.’ . “The bear’s track kept on'with Sin- tago’s, and at the next valley, 3. green, moist spot, a new track appeared above the bear’s—the big, round footprints of an immense mountain lion which had crossed the marshy place in long bounds. Things certainly looked bad for Sin- tago, but Antonio said: “ ‘They have big fight those fellows ’bout Sintago. Both want to eat him fight before they ketch him.’ same time—one gitlilicked—mebbe they ' “The three tracks kept on together 'fluom l'.¢azette B’l.’d.i ‘ SAVED BY A BURRO,S FANCY‘ : for a half mile or so, and their, iwhere the path followed a shelf of rock round A Miner’s Story of Escape frdm . the Side Of a PreCiPice. we came to the. 2 place where the mountain lion had over- . taken the grizzly. There had'been a I fight and no mistake. There were blood ‘ and hair and-other marks of a fierce struggle, showing that business had be- gun promptly after they got together. But neither bear nor lion was to be seen, an either leadihg from the place, although along the trail. Antonio went to the edge of the precipice, which fell sheer for full 200 feet. He steadied himself by a scrub oak tree that grew out from the brink and looked down. “ ‘There they be, both those fellows,’ he said. ‘They tumble off, and both get killed.’ ' ‘ “Antonio-stepped back to give me a. chance to see, and with him holding me fast by my belt I clutched the tree trunk and looked down the dizzy depth. At the foot of the cliff both animals were lying still; the bear a shapeless both dead. Sintago was safe from them, but where was he? for we had not once come in sight ofhim. We were hungry, for it was now afternoon, and we had eaten the last morsel of bread and bacon we had brought from the station on starting out in the morning. We had to stop an hour to let the horses rest and feed, and then we took the trail again, for the specimens must be re- covered and we must follow wherever Sintago chose to lead. I thought of the wagons lumbering along toward Sil- ver City and the teamsters’ comfortable dinner, and it did not help my feelings to think of what the mine owners would say when the wagons came in without me or the specimens. “But soon there was something closer at hand to think of. I had fallen a little behind Antonio, and when I came up with him he was looking very serious. He pointed to the path, and there across it was the trail of 15 or 20 ponies that had passed within an hour, going to the south. The depth of the hoof prints and the way they had traveled in single file showed that they had carriedIndian rider-s. “ ‘Los Apaches,’ said Antonio, look- ing fearfully around, and both of us clutched our firearms as if the Indians were upon us. But they were not in sight, and they had been going in a hurry, for not one of them had turned to follow Sintago’s tracks, which must have been fresh when they passed. We Went on, keeping a sharp lookout, for when the Apaches are out there is no safe place for any white man about the Burro mountains. We hurried on, but still could see no sight of Sintago. It was plain that he knew Where he was going, though we didn’t. It might be to Silver City, or some Mexican plazeta; it might be an- Indian camp or robber’s den in the mountains. At last, as the sun was going down behind the peaks, we saw from the top of a rise the burro far ahead, just entering a narrow can- yon. We set spurs to our horses, took the trail down the long steep canyon 011 the run, and came out upon the plain with the mountains all behind us. Ahead, disappearing like a “shadow in the twilight, was Sinta‘go, still carry- ing his pack and heading straight for Silver City, whose lights‘were gleam- ing five or six miles away. “Glad enough we were to see those lights, and our horses at sight of them quickened their pace. We soon over- took Sintago moving smartly along at a half trot, looking none the worse for wear, though he had been carrying his pack for 36 hours through a mountain country. We kept him ahead of'us, and, in another hour, we all halted. in front of the Legal Tender corral in. Silver City with the wagons not due until the next day at noon. - “‘We put our animals in the corral and went to the hotel, taking the'sacks of specimens with us. That evening I met the mine owners and the syndicate man at Porter &'Crawford’s store, with the specimen ores, to exhibit, a day ahead of time, and the deal was made then and there. Then I went to the hotel and to bed, for I was very tired. At three o’clock in the morning I<was awakened by the landlord, bringing news; ““‘A courier, had just come over'the stage trail,’ he said, ‘and he says the Apaches jumped your wagon outfit in TejOn Gulch last evening. They killed all the teamsters, ran the stock off, and burned the wagons. The sheriff is get— ting up a party to go out- and get the bodies at daylight, and I thought you’d like to go along.’ “I wont- out with the party to the scene of the massacre. There were the mutilated bodies. of the teamstcrs ly- ing ' as they had fallen, by the charred wheels of the wagons. I should have been lying there with them had it not been for Sintago’s strange fancy fer a trip over the mountains, which kept me from going along with the wagons. The one break in his good record that caused me so much anxiety and trouble had been the means of saving my life.” A Timely Suggestion. A statesman was invitd to dinner- i.leman of wealth, whose social position Iment of such guests than his mind could possibly be improved by them- The dinner was excellent. The host laid great stress upon the value, judged by the only" standard he had allowed him- self, in money of the several ingredi- ents. In particular did he expound upon the value of his wines. “This gen- a ltecturer as the servant removed the cobwebs from a. bottle‘ and placed it upon the table, “this wine has been ifi my cellar 'for 40 years. I bought it when I was a young man. and the interest, gentlemen, the interst upon what I paid for it would have now amounted to—” The statesman was beginning to tire of this dissertation and winked pleasantly at‘ his confrere. “Indeed,” said he, reaching across the table and appropri- ating the bottle, “then suppose we stop the interest.”-'Boston Budge-t. » we could find no traces of’ we searched for them forward and back ‘ reap, the lion stretched on his side, and ' T H E E V E NIN G TGA ZET'I‘ 3 ~ 1 i l Gun=Shot Wounds. - Major E.
