AFTER HIS FORTUNE.
Messenger, Hunted for Two Weeks,
Evades Indian Pursuers and
Brings Back theIM'oney.
“There died in Kansas City, Kan, the
other day, ” says the Kansas City Jour-
11:11,, “a quiet, unobtrusive,m modesrt, and
never boastful citizen. He came from
a Pennsylvania regiment in 1864,, and
he became a messenger for the Holli-
day Express company, running from
Leavenworth to Santa Fe. W. H.
_B1i.dg~ens,tl_.1e messenger refined to,
on one of his tripshad $100,000 in green-
baclns strapped about his person and
‘ secreted in his clothes. There was no
one but him and' the driver in charge of
the coach, and for days they proceeded
along their lone-some journey without
seeing a. human face. When yet many
miles from Santa Fe they were. 01' er—
taken by a howling band. of Indians
and a fierce battle was fought. Brid-
gens and his companion exhausted
their ammunition and continued the
fight with their knives. Finally they
succeeded in unloosing their horses
from the stage, and, quickly mounting
them, fled. through the timber. The
savages gave chase and succeeded. in
separating the two men, but did not
capture either of them. Mr. Bridgens
still retained his treasure, but he lost
his way among the crags and canyons,
and it was more than. two weeks before
he found his: way to the house of a
white man». During all this time he
subsis'te-d entirely upon berries and.
herbs. His long absence caused his em—
ployers: to believe that he had. been
robbed and killed by the Indians, and
before his return they had! madle good
the money they had given up as lost.
When Mr. Bridgensl returnedl with his
precious burdIen still intact they were
amazed, and so grateful weTe they that
they presented their y oung agent with
a handsome token of their apprecia-
tion.’

fine Thu} In Related of’u‘Sanitarlum
in the Adirondacks—May
Not Be But-Pt.
A sanitarium for con'Sumptives in the
Adirondacks, which is now a well-
known institution, is almost as well
provided with legends as patrons, say s
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
The best of these legends is that {hey
are true. The hospital, which is scien-
tifically equipped i11_Ievery particular,
although in the wilderness, was built
throngh the untiring'efl’orts of the sis-
ters of mercy, who went aboutpleading
the cause of the poor who died because
the expensive hotels and sanitariums of
the “big-1 woods” were beyond their
means.
After months of praying and begging
and working, the land 1',was secured
(Paul'Smith’sgift) and-s ‘1 icicnt money
on. hand to begin building. Then it'was
discovered that in order to have water
from the lake expensive engineering
V1 ould be necessary. Some. one sug-
gested digging for wells, and some one
else dexised a way of conv eVing the
water to the top of the hill where the
sanitarium is perched, which would not
be costly. The only objection to this
scheme was the deubt as lo whether it—
would be practical. The workmen
worked and the builders argued and the
sisters prayed. They made the water
and their hope of inducing it to run up-
hill a subject of special petitions.
They promised the blessedgvirgin to
build a shrine on the mountain if she
v1vould intelcede for them. Just how
. il1e engineers settled: it is not in the
province of this column, but they did.
And the shrine was built 011 the crest-
of one of the loveliest “hills” of the
1ange OYe1looking the sapphire lake
andsanitarium.

A Sign hung in The purlinliy depleted
store of a New York funeral director
who had moved further uptown caused
many a smile among passers—by the oth-
er day. It read: “Have gone to a better
place above. where a fine stock of cof—
fins, caskets. and so forth will be found,
with all the latest designs in funeral
furnishings. -
Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident of which Mr.
John Oliver of Phila. Pa. , was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows.
" I was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellw. eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually' 1n back
and sides, no appetite—gradually grow,
ing weaker day by day. Three physi-
cians had given me up. Fortunately
a friend advised trying ‘Electric Bit-
ters;’ and to my great joy and surp 1ise,
the first bottle’made a decided imp. ove-
ment. I continued their use for 111ree
weeks, and am now a well man. I
know they Saved my life and robbed
the grave of another victim.” NO one
