Itching
If there is one thing more than
another which gratifies us, it is the
great.volume of hearty thanks which
come from grateful parents for the
cures Hood’s Sarsaparilla has effected
upon their children. The agony of
despair turns to unspeakable joy as
mothers and fathers see dreadful sores
and eruptions gradually yield to the
potent purifying power of this great
medicine, and bright boys and girls
given perfect health. Read this:

When six months old the breaking out
healed on his body, but his head, face and
arms were a terrible sight. I passed many
sleepless nights holding his little hands
to keep him from scratching, his face. I
cannot tell what he suffered with the sores.
One doctor attended him a year without
avail. No one thought he would ever get
well. He was almost a year old when I
commenced to give him Hood’s Sarsapa-

I was able to rest at night. Gradually the
sores on his head and arms healed, the
burning and itching ceased, and he slept
better. In 2 months he looked like an-
other child, gained strength, was cured.
I recommend all persons afflicted with
eczema or any skin disease to take Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. I feel assured that it will
do wonders‘for others. I cannot praise
it too highly for what it has done for my
poor little sufferer. It is hard to believe
he is the same child, he is now such a
big, hearty, fat boy, a very picture of
health. If more people would give Hood’s
Sarsaparilla to their children, there would
not be so many poor, delicate little ones.”

The Saddle
Question.
This is an illustration
of the old style saddle.
’ If you will observe it
“ carefully you will note
that it fits like a glove
(and a saddle should
not). It presses the sen-

ness, stiffness and chaf‘

ing to a certain extent
injurious, because few
could enjoy a long ride
without fear of injury.
All this is now changed. it Here is repre-

saddle that is built

shape, has pads that

stiffness, and makes

" THE OLD YELLOW RIVER“
Romance of the Wreck and Recovery of
the Twilight’s Cargo.
One foggy morning justabout dawn in
August, 1865, the side-wheel steamboat
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 jackstaff on the lonecotton-
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 “hogged” or bulged
up in the middle, began to sink. . She
had struck a huge submerged sycamore
tree of huge dimensions, having got out
of the channel in the fog.
The passengers were cared 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. c It
was composed of 300 barrels of whisky.
hundredsof 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. There 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 3‘.) feet of sand, 100 yards from
the bank of the river at high water and
half a mile from shore when the river
ivas down.
Last year a number of Kansas City
gentlemen organized a company to re-
cover the sunken cargo. By a series of
ingenious .mechanical devices they lo-
cated the wreck in 39 feet of water and
found the freight in comparatively
good condition. There have been many
interruptions. of the work, but a large
part of the merchandise has already
been recovered.
The 300 barrels of whisky in the hold
are in a perfect state ,of preservation.
One 'of them was tapped and the whisky
was found to be beyond compare. A
glass of is, which was poured out before
a company of men in the Kansas City
club, filled the entire floor with its
aroma. It was thick and oily, almost
of the consistency of New Orleans mo-
lasses, and after the glass was emptied
it clung to the sides as sirup 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 made more 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-
chant-s 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 barrel.—-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
squinting, 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 drama
upper lip, pain in the abdomen.
To make a general rule, it may be
stated that the uppczr 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 Trained Nurse.
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 ‘2 W'hy 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
heart! c He died of a broken heart. I re-
peat, Mr. Speaker, he died of a broken
heart! He never smiled again. They re-
fused him the pitiful increase of tyre
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.—

AMONG THE APACHES.
An Arizona Miner’s Experience
with the Indians.
How He Rescued a. Mother Squaw and
Her Twin Babies from Death at
the Hands of Her Super-
stitions Tribesmen.

"Superstition forms the greater part
of the Indian’s character,” said John
Elwood the other day. There are few
people that are in_ closer touch with
the Indians, and espeCially the
Apaches, than Jack Elwood, as he .is
familiarly known through the Rockies.
Jack is a. character. Early in the ’605
Jack went west to California. His
fortune did not come at once, and
finally Jack drifted back toward the
land of the rising sun. He finally
landed in Arizona, and for years has
been one of the best-known pros-
pectors in that territory. He lives at
Phoenix, and is getting almost too old,
one would think, to keep up his efforts
to uncover a fortune, but it would not
be safe to tell Jack Elwood that. In
the latter part of the “805 Jack had an
experience while crossing the plains
that led to his close relations with the
Apaches. and since then he has been
one of the few who have the friend-
ship and confidence of this band of
warriors. ‘
“ ‘How did I get my great stand-in
with the Apaches?’ Well, I’ll tell you,
I hardly know,”':;.'continued Elwood.
“I sort of grew into their confidence,
and have shared it more or less since
about 1886. ‘Long in January of that
year I had an occasion to get pretty in-
timately acquainted with the Apaches.
“ In Phoenix in a back street stands
a little adobe house. It is off by itself
and its occupants have no communion
with any of their neighbors. It is the
home of an Indian by the name of
Melo, who, with his wife and two chil-
dren, live a quiet and solitary life.
They, like all Indians, are clannish.
They do not want to associate with the
outside world and have little or noth-
ing .to do with their own people. I am.
about the only one who ever gets in-
side the threshold of that little adobe
cottage. From its doorway to the
east can be seen in the distance ‘ Four
Peaks,’ with their summits covered
with snow. Between Phoenix and
these mountains is a broad desert.
“Early in January, 1886, I was cross-
ing that desert with a. team. It is
quite a trip, and the valley is quite
warm even in January. It is necessary
to carry water across this plain, and I
had a. goodly supply in a barrel on the
wagon. Everything was going along
in good shape until nearly noon. when
an accident resulted in the loss of every
drop of water we had. It was impos-
sible to proceed far without water, and
yet to remain there would be equally
as Serious. We did our best. ’Long in
the evening I was picked up by a band
of Apaches in an almost exhausted con-
dition. They gave me water, and one
young couple who seemed to be supe-
rior to the others in intelligence fed
me. I, however, did not have my full
senses. The terrible strain on a dry
alkali plain (without water and in a
burning sun was enough to turn any-
one’s brain, I want to tell you.
“Indians are superstitious, illogical
and childish to a. degree of which no
civilized man has any conception. This
was to my advantage. They thought
me insane. and as they regard one out
of his natural mind as something su-
pernatural and to be revered they
treated me with the greatest kindness.
1 did not trust the Indians, and hence
when I began to recover my mental
balance I tried to give no outward evi-
de'nce of this fact and wandered among
them in a solitary and speechless man-
ner. I was shamming to get away all
the time.
“A feW'days after my arrival at camp
twin boys were born to the young wife
of the Indian who had fed me and
cared for me. This is not any more
uncommon among the Indians than
elsewhere, and, although the red man
is passionately fond of children, yet
the appearance of twins and a crazy
man (as they thought me) forebode
them evil, and the medicine man said
that Mrs. Melo was a. witch, and that
she and her infants must be sacrificed.
Melo pleaded for his ' wife, without
avail. She did not attempt to escape.
I was not yet able to understand the
Indianlanguage, and it was some time
before I was aware of what troubled
my young friends. Already the dance
had commenced, and only a. few hours
remained before the mother and her
children would be burned-J" I made my
escape. and succeeded in reaching the
agency. 'Here, w1th much trouble, I
secured a. detachment of cavalry, and
led them back to the Indian camp. I
had no hope of being in time; but,
fortunately, the chief had eaten some-
thing that did not agree with him, and
the sacrifice was postponed afew hours.
When we rode up the noise of the beat-
ing of tom-toms and the singing- of
dancers drowned out the soun l of our
approach. In the distance 3:: "mild

Melo and his wife to return to Phoenix
with me. Th‘ey'hage lived there since,
and aided me in gaining knowledge of
the customs of the Apaches. ”—Chicago
