EARTH’S LAST KISS.
Earth‘s last kiss to the dying day _
Over the surf and the tawny sands;
Lips are parted. and far away,
A light goes down in the faint cloud lands.
Earth‘s last kiss ere the autumn star
Shines like a jewel in night‘s crown,
And dusty blossoms from you blue bar
Sparkle and fling their radiance down.
Earth‘s last kiss ere the seabirds scream '
Summer‘s farewell from the wildflowers‘ height.
And winds steal forth from the cliiI's‘ dark seam,
Mouning their musical last. “Good night.”
Earth‘s inst kiss and the eyes are strained
And arms outstretched, for the gloom draws
nigh;
But lips have met and a love is drained—-
Earth‘s last kiss, dearest love, good-by.

A BIG MISTAKE.
I
Henry Dyson was alone in the little office
at the back end of his store.
Mr. Dyson was a. pleasant looking man of
about 35 or 40, and his fellow-townsmen fro-
qucntly pointed to him with pride as a. self-
inado business man.
But while everybody had a good word for
Henry Dyson, very few people spoke well of
his brother Tom.
On the night our story opens the merchant
was waiting for his graceless brother, and as
the hours rolled on the frown on his face
grew deeper.
“I can do nothing with Tom,” he said as he
paced the floor impatiently. “I have given
him every possible chance, but he grows
more idle and dissipated every day. Perhaps
I ought notto wait for him, but he was so
urgent in his requth for an interview to-
night that I could not refuse. Poor fellow!
that new trouble can he be mixed up in?”
The front door opened and a young man
entered quietly, and, after a furtive glance
around the store, proceeded to the office.
“W'ell, Tom?” said Henry Dyson.
"I am here, you see,” replied Tom.
“I suppose,” said Henry, “that it; is useless
to ask you why you are so late or where you
have been during the past two days.”
Tom looked a little nervous, and his eyes
fell.
“That is neither here nor there,” he an-
swered in a swaggering way; “I have had
some business of my own to look after, and I
knew that you were not short of help in the
store.”
“lVell, what. is it?” asked Henry abruptly.
“Brother,” Tom broke out hurriedly and
iii a. faltering voice, “I must have some
money—$200 or so.”
“I wonder where you will get it,” Henry
rejoined. “You will not: get another cent:
from nie—that is certain. Why should I
toil hero and economize in order to furnish
you with funds to be lost: at: the gaming
table?”
“If I do not get this money,” said Tom,
turning very pale, “I shall have to leave the
country.”
“A good thing for the country, then,”
snapped Henry. “Don’t let me interfere with
your traveling plans.”
Toni seemed to fall all to pieces at this reply.
He made one more effort.
“I hope you are not hard up yourself,” be
said.
“I was never getting along better,” respond~
ed the merchant, “but that has nothing to do
with the case.”
He pulled open the door of the iron safe,
and pointed to a. little tin box.
“Do you see that?" he asked. “Well, that
box contains twenty crisp $1,000 bank notes.
I drew the money from the bank today for
an investment. No, Tom, I am prospering,
but I am tired of your endless drain upon my
purse. It must stop, and now is the time.”
Henry rose from his chair and went into a
little closet for his overcoat.
In an instant. before a man could count
three seconds. Tom had (11an the flat tin
box from the safe and slipped it; into the
breast of his heavy overcoat.
His brother slowly emerged from the
closet, and put on his wrappings. Then he
closed the door of the safe with a click. -
“I am ready to go,” he said. “You have
no further business with me, I presume?"
“No, sir," Tom responded with a pale, de-
termined face, “Neither now, nor later,
good-by."
“Good-by, old fellow,” said Henry, with a
J a“ ll.
Tom walked out of the store without
another word, banging the door after him.
“I know him,” soliloquized the merchant.
“He will not leave here. He will be around
to-morrow with a new proposition. Perhaps,
after all I had better look into his affairs,
and give him another chance.”
He walked slowly out of the building, and
locked the door. A glance up and down the
street showed him that Tom was not in sight,
and he then quietly made his way to his
hotel, where-he straightway went to bed.
II. '
After leaving tho store Tom hugged the
tin. box, to. his breaSt. and walked at a rapid.
P300:
' “It was an awful thing to do," he that
tiered; “but I had to have money and I
worked to make some of it." .
The young man sped onward through the
deserted streets until he reached the river.
He crossed the bridge and started up the hill
on the other side. ’
His plan was plain enough. He was going
to a suburban railway station to take’ the
train for the west.
Suddenly he pulled up with a. jerk. He
took the tin box from under his coat.
“The dcvili”:he exclaimed; “I must have
been mad. Iain! no thief, and I will cut my
throat befon§ {wall become One. There is but
his $111115 fish, ._I will take the box back to
my bmtlier, confem my folly, and then leave
He turnedpnd‘retrnced his steps. When he
reached the bridge he paused a moment and
looked'over into the dark waters below. '
“I may-findpeace there,” he said gloomily.
He leaned'over the railing and listened to
the swift rolling current.
“My God!” he cried. “The boxl the box 1”
It had slipped through his fingers, and al-
ready the rushing waters were carrying it to
the sea.
Torn ran in the direction of his brother’s
hotel, and then wheeled about and ran back
to the bridge. His first impulse waste throw
himself into the'riv'eu, ‘ ' '
“I am a fool!" he said. “Suicide will not
restore the money. I must be a man now if
there is any manhood in me i”
Across the river and over the hill, into the
thick darkness of the night, the guilty fugi-
tive fled. Mile after mile he walked like a
madman.
The lights of the city disappeared from
view, and Tom found himself wandering in
an unfamiliar locality.
Again the river came in sight, and the
wretched man decided to follow its course. It
was not far to the sea. He would go on to
the nem‘est port and ship as a sailor.
Anything to get beyond iliis'bitothe'izis reach,
an?! thb'téi‘es of 039$th knew him?! ‘
Thus the light of day found him, but it was
not likely that any one along the river- side
would recognize him. There were few dwell-
ings, and the people he met were farmers
who were not disposed to be unpleasant] y in
quisitive.
So the half crazed man rushed on through
the day, till at nightfall he limped weari‘iy
into a small seaport town.
III.
Henry Dyson made evéry effort to find his
missing brother.
When he thought of the pained look in
Tom’s eyes the night the poor fellow left, he
reproached himself for allowing him to go
away without a kind word of encourage
ment.,
The detectives took the matter up, and the
newspapers published an rccount of Tom’s
mysterious disappearance. ' '
”But it was all of no avail. There was ng
trace 'no_ crew,‘ the after‘a‘year at; two the
mere out came to the conclusion that his
brother was a dead man.
Henry Dyson continued to prosper, He
married happily, and in the course of time
little children came to make his home still
brighter.
Twenty years had, rolled away, when one
night the merchant; found himself alone in
his office writing a, letter. - ,
A3 he leaned back in his chair to take a
moment’s rest he thought of the night a score
of years before when Tom .had visited him
there to make a last appeal. .
Tears came into the rich man’s eyes.
“He was my only brother,” he sobbed,
“and I acted like a brute. How easy it
would have been for me to have paid his lit-
tle debts. Then I could have Watched over
him, and in time my love would have touched
his heart, and he would have turned out all
right. But it is too late now to think of
these things.”
The door opened with hardly a crenk, and
the merchant would not have known it but
for the rush of cool air. .
He rose from his chair just in time to greet
a wishes: W319. walked into. the-office Without:

Henry Dyson looked upon him in speech-
less astonishment. If he could trust his eyes
this was Tom Dyson, but not the Tom of
twenty years ago. He was an old man with
wrinkled face and white hair.
. “Brother,” said the visitor‘,‘~holding out his
hand, “are you glad to see me?” .' ' .i
' With a joyous gelamation tho other:
caught b'fin iii hié‘en'ifi‘zféfi, and‘ th‘c'ii’ seated
him in a chair.
“This is a glad hour for me, Tom," he
said; “I had given you up for dead, and I
have all these years been reproaching myself
for my harshness to you that night, you
know.”
“Hold on i” cried the other excitedly.
“You must: not overwhelm me with such
kindness until I have made restitution. Here
in this package you will find the money to
replace the sum I took from your safe in the
little tin box. It has taken me these twenty
years to make it, but here it is at last."
“But; I do not understand," interrupted
Henry.
“Oh, but you must,” replied his brother.
“When you turned away to get your coat
that night I slipped the box out of the safe
and concealed it. Then you closed the safe,
unconscious of your loss, and I left you.”
“But the box was empty!” shouted Henry.
“Impossible,” answered Tom, “for you
told me that it contained $20,000. “Tell, I
rushed off with the box, but: repented, and
was on my way to return it'whcn I care-
lessly let it; slip into tho watbi' when I
crossed the river. N ow you know why I
ran away and concealed myself. I had but
one object—to make enough money to pay
you back, and then I would ask your for-
giveness.
“Oh, what a foolish Tomi” said Henry.
“Why, man, I found in the morning that
my bookkeeper had taken the money from
the box and carried it back to the bank that
afternoon, when he found that I was not go-
inf,r to use it until the next day. I missed
the empty box, but I never connected that
with your disappearance.” .
“Then this money”—
“Is yours,” said Henry; “but even if you
had lost my money, as you supposed, you
should have come back to me. I sometimes
talked roughly to you, but you ought to have
known how I loved you, Tom.”
The two white haired men sat there till
midnight, talking about old times and making
their plans for the future.
“You must live with me, Tom,” said Henry,
515 he took him home. “I can’t trust you out
of my sight again.”
And Tom gave his promise, at the same
time thanking the good Lord for blessing him
with such a. big hearted brother.
These two knew no misunderstanding and
10 parting until death came to separate them,
aid in a l the city no man was more respected
and more beloved than Tom Dyson. His big
mistake made a man of him—Walter P.

Curing a. Fair Hypocliondrinc.
Among the guests of a fashionable uptown
boarding house is a. charming married woman
who enjoys the most robust health, but who
until recently made her friends and neighbors
believe that she was a suffering woman and
endured all the ills and complaints to be
found in a medical oncyclopaedia. She would
come down to' breakfast every morning, and
would at once begin to narrate the story of
her painful suffering during the previous
night. One day it; would be neuralgia, the
next bronchitis, and so on until apparently
almost every portion of her body was af-
fected. While she was generally admired for
her mental and social qualities, still the mo-
notonous recitals finally became an afliiction
to her friends. They prayed for deliverance
and then set about devisingaschemc to effect
it. A large sheet of foolscap paper was hung
up in one corner of the large dining room and
headed in large letters: “Bulletin of Mrs.
——’s health.” Every time the lady was
heard to make a complaint some one would
sneak up and record it on the sheet: At the
end of two weeks the list Of ailments covered
the entire sheet, and the most remarkable
feature of it was that no two of the com-
plaints were alike. The fair sutl'erer’s atten-
tion had never been drawn to the daily record
of her health until the bottom line of the
sheet was filled. It: was then that she was
led courteously to the corner to read the piti-
ful story of her sufferings. The humorous
side at‘fectc'l her forcibly, and she broke out
into a merry peal of laughter. She was
cured—Now York Evening Sun.
SOUTHERN ALASKNS FORESTS.
Wooded Areas of Somber Greene-Mat-
tings of Moss—Arctic Tangle Grthh.
Nowhere in the regions north of the dense
tropical tanvle growth is there a more thickly
wooden and “ i'iisned"-part or the mum
than some Of these areas of southern Alaska.
The country might well be considered moun-
tainous, although few of the elevations aver-
age above 3,000 to 4,000 feet; still the incline
from the very water’s edge is generally so
steep to the very tOp that no one disputes
giving it; an Alpine character as the most
faithful one to describe it. All these steep
hillsides are well covered with an evergreen
growth of Sitka. spruce that is the most som-
ber green I have ever viewed. It is doleful
enough at any time, but when coupled with
the dreary rainstorms so commonrin this part
of the territory—especially in the fall, winter:
and spring months=one must have the spin.-
its of Mark Tapley to keep from suffering
tram the bluest of the “blues."
The reflections of these deep green forests
give the fjord-likc waterways a Platonic
shade of greenish black that makes one feel
that if he ever fell overboard from the vessel
he would keep sinking in the ' cold, dark
waters for the next three weeks, and not be
sure of the bottom then. Going ashore, the
traveler’s. idea of the density of the forest is
increased rather than the reverse, as would
be expected; and he finds added to the ever-
green growth, the top of which he could only
see when on the water, a dense, deciduous
mirth. infidémeath that makes walking 1%
fiOi‘iotl-‘i and. difficult: in the extreme.
Over all this again is a heavy mat-
ing of moss that clings to everything
that would give it the least hold. , The
fallen trunks of trees do not seem to decay
and pass away, but keep accumulating, prob-
ably for ages, until they have piled up amass
of felled timber from a yard to ten feet deep
and all covered by a. treacherous carpet of
moss. The tOpmost trunks may be indicated
to the eye by a ridge of moss; but let the
pedestrian step aside from this and there is
no telling where he will bring up as he sinks
into the moss up to his middle or armpits,
probably his toes tipping another trunk far
below. ' "- ' ': V
A’diltq this the steep ascents on which all
this tangle growth is found, and it forms
about as effective a. barrier to a traveler’s
progress as any in the known world. It is
for this reason that miners’ prospecting is so
ineffectual in this part of Alaska, otherwise
so very accessible. Ten feet of snow could
not be more effective in hiding outcroppmg
ledges and indications of precious lodos from
a prospector‘s eyes. In some places avalanches
have swept down the steep mountain Sides,
laying the ground bare in narrow windrows.
and it is generally along these that most of

The Laws of Heredity.
A certain man had, during his entire life-
time, gratified his every passion, and died
with an oath on his lips and a scorn of de<
oeucy in his heart. He left three sons, In
spite of their mother’s prayers and tears,
each son followed his father’s blighting ex-
ample. Likc their father, at no period in
their lives did they ever show the slightest
desire to reform. So reckless were they that
not one of the three lived to be -twenty five
years old. Two of the brothers died unmar-
ried: The third had a. good wife, but did
not live to see his son, who was bornamonth
or two after his death.
Every care was taken to surround this child
with good influences. He knew nothing of
the dissipation of his grandfather, father and
father’s brothers. They were dead. His
mother never 'spoke of them.
As a. lad ho was brutal and vicious in the
extreme. “I don’t want tgbe goodt’! was
his favorite expresnon, if taken to task for a
boyish misdeed. ' ‘
Before he was 12 yours old he had run away
from home eight times, to associfli‘fl with
children of the gutter. He is now 21. He is
a? drunkard, a thief—for he stole jewelry
from his mother to pawn—and & dissolute
reprobate.
Ho declares that if he knew of any vice
into which he has not plunged, he would
straightway test it. He has broken his
mother’s heart. With the utmost compla-
cency he is watching her die of grief for his
depravity. Nothing affects him. He is an
indifferent to punishment as he is to tender-
ness. If he lives ten years longer, he will
reach the gallows—Philadelphia News.

JUST A LIVELY BOY.
NOTES OF A 10‘YEAR-OLD’S EXEGU‘
TION OF AN ERRAND.
Doings of an Everyday New York Boy
with Only the Ordinary Excess of Ani-
mal Spirits—A Reporter's Notes of His
Pranks.
There was nothing peculiar about the boy’s
appearance. He seemed just an ordinary
10-year-old boy in kniekei‘bockers, shoes,
stockings, jacket and polo cap, the latter
worn' on the back of his head as most other
boys wear theirs. He was starting out: of a
house on Lexington avenue with a gallon tin
can, a new, smooth, bright vessel, very
strongly made, and carried by means of- a
handle of wire at the top. In turning the
corner of Fiftieth street the boy suddenly
came upon a large black dog asleep in front
of the grocery. Just before he reached the
dog he let go his hold on the can and launched
it squarely beside the sleeping animal. It
struck the flagging, rattled off its cover,
bounded in the air, and sent the dog out of
his sleep with a leap undnyell of terror.
The dog ran away, and the boy gathered up
the can and its cover, fastened the two to-
gether, and went; on. There are iron palings
in front of the houses on Fiftieth street, and
tho boy found much sport in holding the can
firmly against them‘os he walked along.
This made a prodigious noise, and caused
the can to bob incessantly from paling to
paling, deiiting it at every bounce.
The boy was tempted to desist from this
exercise by the sight of a frowsy woman
pitching along the street with uncertain
steps, and with half a yard of her rusty
black dress dragging on the pavement. The
boy went up to her with a modest and kindly
air and asked her if she would not like some
beer. She replied affirmatively with brighten-
.ing eyes. -
“Follow inc,” said the boy.
He led her to a gate in a high brown
painted fence, opened it, waited until the
woman was in the gateway, and then gently
shoved her in, slammed the gate, and hung
on the top of the fence with his head just
over the edge, shouting to her that there was
a savage dog in there, and that she had bet-
ter look out. ,
He dropped to the sidewalk an instant
later, tired of this conceit, and seeingaThini
avenue car bowling along, waited until it
had passed the corner, and then yelled and
whistled for it to stop. It stopped and he ~
ran after it. When close to it he shouted;
“All right; let her go,” The car moved, and
he flung his gallon can on the platform. At.
the same moment he boarded the car. He
had thrown the can in such a way that: it
went on at one side and off at: the other into
The conductor pulled the bell to
stop the car. “Never mind; I’ll get. it,” said
the boy, as he plunged off the car after the
can. The car stopped, and the boy got his
can. He picked it up, and then continued
walking hastily away from the ear precisely
as if he had never dreamed of wanting to
ride on it. The conductor was furious, but
he did not seem to be aware of the man’s ox-
istence. .
At the moment that he reached the side-
walk hc encountered a young playmate, who
asked him what he was doing with the can.
“Got it to play shin 100 with. Don’t you
know how to play it? It’s the boss game
out.”
Without apparently taking time to think
what he was about to say. he explained to
the boy, who was two years younger than
himself, all about the game, which he would
have been obliged to admit he had never
heard of before, but which he now said con-
sisted in pitching pennies at the can, the rule
being that all the coppers the little boy put
in the can were “counters,” and all that he
failed to get in were “losers.” The little boy
had three cents, and threw them at the can,
which the bigger boy had set up as a mark.
All the little boy’s coppers rolled away from
the can, and the big boy picked up them and
the can. After spending a moment over an
expression of sympathy for his friend, and
promising to give him “another- chance to,-
morrow,” he strode ofl‘, whistling light heart-
edly. '
A little further down the street he noted
the fact that a candy store was in charge of a
iitbln air]. HA nmnnd the: sharp rinm- and
' “Hello, little girl 1” said he, assum-
ing a. wicked appearance, “I am going to
leave this thing behind the counter, and as
soon as I have gone away it will burst up
and blow the whole store over to Hoboken,
and you’ll be killed and your mother will be
pulver”—-
At this instant the stout German woman
who kept the store opened the lace curtained
inner doorway to the household apartment
in the back and entered the store. The boy
ceased teasing the child, His face looked
blank and. innocent. though the little girl’s
countenance expressed considerable alarm,
“Penny’s worth er chewing gum," said th
boy, “ ’ii’ I'm in o. hurry.” .
He got the chewing gum and started to re-
turn. In, his haste he opened the door so
rapidly with one hand as to knock the gallon
can out of his other hand. It banged on the
floor, its lid rolled off, and there was noise
beyond all estimate. The little girl had been
expecting an explosion and screamed with
fright. “Dropped my can,” said the boy,
and at once squatted on the floor, spread his
legs as wide as possible, and described an arc
with one and a circle with the othepas, I19

A bale of little rod wooden wagons was dis
engaged from the nail it hung on and fell
with a. crash that brought the German wo- .

the boy had gathered himself and his belong-
ings and was darting out of the door.
In his flight he made a pretended dash at
a pile of apples on an Italian fruitercr’s
stand, but neither touched the fruit nor
stopped his flight. He did not take the
trouble to look around in order to note the
consequence of what he had done. He lost
something by that, for the Italian in charge
of the stand had almost leaped out of his
coat in his haste to defend his goods. Th6
boy ran until he came to, ' the stairs "of fill
elevated railroad statign. These lie mounted
with only three falls, by reason of one of
which ho was obliged to chose his gallon can
down to the foot, where it had gone with a
series of bumps and bounces that aroused all
the pleasure the boy’s eyes had power to
express.
He made believe to forget: to put his ticket
in the box, and when the gateman asked
him for it he protendedto indulge in a weari-
some search through all his pockets. The
train discovered the ticket in the boy’s
mouth, took it away, and offered to cuff the
lzid‘s ears, but was not be quick enough. '

Trait- or a Detective.
“How do men become detectives, any way!
What training and natural traits muslin. man

“That is a hard question to answer of!
hand,” said Inspector Byrnes slowly. “The
most important thing, I should say, is that
men have n. distinct liking—an undoubted
passion—for this line Of duty.‘ That is sis;~
sentinl. " ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘
“Yes, sir, a man must, like the business,
and know. that he like‘s‘it; that he has a. nut:

lilo prerequisite; Then he must have per-see .
verance.-youth, intelligence, enthusiasm for '
his work. He must be thoroughly zealous.
and specially he must be tenacious. A good
officer will lay'his plans and go over a case,
and perhaps then fail; then he goes back and
begins all over again, doing his work in the
second line as carefully as at first; perhaps
he will fall again, perhaps half n' dozen
times, but; he has the bull dog in him and is
up and at it again. That’s the kind of man
that succeeds in this business; the man who

A MONTANA PIONEER.
WHY HIS HAIR AND BEARD ARE AS
WHITE AS SNOW.
Incident in the Career of Paul McCon-
mick, One of the Men Who Helped to
Open up the Yellowstone in Spite of the
Sioux. '
After being besieged in Fort Pease for
some time it became evident to our advent-
urers that further supplies of provisions,
ammunition, etc, would be necessary to hold
out. against the besiegers, and it was deemed
important that one of these daring pioneers
should volunteer to run the gauntlet and se-
cure not only an ample supply of provisions
and ammunition, but re-enforcements also.
It was 300 miles to Bozeman, the nearest:
place of relief, and over a lonely, wild coun-
try, infected by savages, but Paul McCor-
mick cheerfully volunteered to make the
dangerous trip alone. Leaving the fort by
dusk and traveling mostly by night, in ten
days he was at Bozeman and secured not only
plenty of necessaries for the garrison, but
organized quite a little company of recruits,
and with the stealth of a wild animal they
slipped down the river and succeeded in gain-
ing the fort without any loss. Soon after it
was found necessary that another trip should ‘
be made, and again McCormick passed
through the Indian lines alone and returned
again in safety. Then he at various times
slipped out of the fdrt by night and after
killing a deer or an elk" the next day at some
great distance oil’, would return in the same
manner to supply the inmates with fresh
venison. So daring were his feats that his
companions had concluded that he was in
reality insensible to fear.
RUNNING A. GREAT RISK.
One evening, after nearly a week‘s cessa-
tion of firing by the Indians. on Fort Posse,
and none of them have been seen in the
vicinity of the fort; for d ys, McCormick
told some of his companions hat he proposed
to venture out early-S in the morning horse-
back and ascertain iffthere were really any
Indians still in ,theévicinity. His friends
warned him of the ,danger, but he scouted
their warning and waisted so determinedly
that they gave up ln despair, intimating
lcliudly that they would never see him again
a we. ; .
True to his debs .. , on, the next morn-
ing found him ready' the trip. One of
his comrades, realizmfl the risk McCormick
would undergo alone; volunteered to accom-
pany him, and at the; first; approach of day-
light the gate was opened and the twOEbOrse
men quietly departed, the ominous wafnings
of their companions still ringing in‘their
ears. Proce‘edin up and down the valley,
which is here a
discern the slightest signs of Indians, and ac-
cordingly came to tile conclusion that the
Sioux had abandoned; the siege. Before re-
turning, however, cufiosity led them to make
a reconnaissance We. coulee which came
down from the foot, ’ l , and while passing
along this shallow co co McCormick’s com-
panion remarked the. he saw something like
the tracks of Indians the send only a short}
distance away, andgbegged McCormick to
come and see. ,5
A VOLLEY Enduran- savnon's.
Just at that moment a whole swarm of
savages rose up from behind the sagebrush
and emptied a vollejlh'om their rifles. The
distance was less than twenty feet, but evi—
' dently the aim of .th "Indians was very poor,
owingto their hastqand excitement. Mc-
Cormick’s companioii’ was badly wounded,
and the horse, insteadrof making toward the
fort, rushed amongsthe savages, and the
rider was of course lost. ;McCormick, how-
ever, wheeled his own horse toward the
fort, and dashed back in the greatest haste,
being surrounded‘by' the red devils, who
seemedto rise up out of the earth on all
sides, shooting and giving unearthly yells.
McCormick, being mounted on a fine charger,
quickly passed the Indians on foot, but; was
suddenly confronted by two, Indian horomen',
who, in some unaccountable manner, budget
between him and fort. McCormick’s
horse, being very -, enabled him to pass
one of them, though “9 Indian gave him a
terrible blow on the shoulders, his rifle having
been emptied when McCormick was approach-
ing. The other horseman was now across
.hia nntll mid wn'i 'nfl_hi9._tum Ind». ya..-
under considerabfd excitement, his gun,
though so close to McCormick's face that his
flesh was filled with powder, failed to do any
harm, and the occupants of the fort, having
heard the firing, now rushed out to protect
their comrade, and one of the Indians was
shot and his scalp taken.
But, poor McCormick! hiS'terrible scare
during that brief space of time had nearly
unnerved him, Never. was there exhibited
a more awful picture of fright than was por-
trayed on his "countenance on reaching the
stockade. Hair erect, pale as a ghost, he
quaked with such fear that he could not for
a. long time give any account of his advent-
ure. In fact, he presented a pitiable spec-
tacle, and did not fully recover his senses
for weeks. But the strangest affair of the
whole occurrence Was that his hair and
whiskers, which had been of jet black color
and glossy in appearance, during those ten
minutes of peril had become white as, the
driven snow, and the stranger could now
easily mistake him for en octogonsrisnrr

THE HYPOCHONDRIAC.
EXPERIiNCE OFA MAN AS HE DIIAWS
NIGH TO MIDDLE AGE. '
A Case of Consumption Changes to Can-
cus—Rheumatism and Heart Disease;
Haunted by Every Form of Physical
Disaster-J1me “’hole List.
A man reaches the age of 40 or thereabouts
without having experienced any serious in-
terruption in the current of his life. Some
night he is sleepless; the next day he is tired.
He has overworked, or overdrank, or over-
smoloed, or overworried. There is an extra.
weight attached to his forehead, his legs are
weak and he is possessed by lassitude. He
recalls at once the death of a man who fell
suddenly in the street, smitten by apoplexy.
The weakness in his legs, is not that sympto-
matic of paralysis?
He has passed his prime, and does not
know it. He is ignorant of the fact that he
cannot labor as hard, drink as much and
employ his energies as before. Nature bo—
gins to slacken in her efforts at recuperation.
Night, with its rest and slumber, does not
bring him a morning wit-h all its old time
buoyancy and exhilaration. Noticing those
things, he commences to examine his condi.
tion. The moment he begins this process of
self inspection he enters on the condition of
the hypochondriac. .
He catches a little cold and has a cough.
It is consumption. The advertising pages of
the newspapers catch his eye, and he sees
“Consumption Cured.” He reads it with
avidity. Symptoms are described, and with
a pang he feels that; each one of them applies
exactly to his case. He hunts over the rec-
ord of his ancestors to find if there be weak
lungs in the descent. Alas, yes! His grand-
mother, he recalls, with a. painful shrinking
of the heart, died. of constunption at the age
of 93! And there were two second cousins,
both of whom, while quite young, fell a vic-
tim to this frightful malady. He is doomed.
A CANCER, SURE l
The cough disappears. There is a sore on
his tongue, and almost instantly there comes
into the horrible vision cancer! He reads up
the encyclopaedia on cancer; he takes fui'tive
glances into the books of medical friends, and
everywhere he finds corroboration of his be-
lief. It is cancer, sure! His broken slumber
is filled with images of tho hideous tumor,
and he listens with intense and painful inter-
est to the narrations of those whose experi-
ence includes the ulcer, the treatment of the
patient by the knife of the surgeon, and the
fearful death at last of the unfortunate vic-
tim. Finally he goes to the physician who,
if he be honest, assures him that. his fears are
groundless, and then for a brief season he is
at case.
There comes a pain in his ankle or knees.
Rheumatism. And now it moves to another
point. Migratory, is it? Ah, it is moving
toward his heart! It may leap there to
night, to-morrow, any moment: and again
he suffers the agony of dissolution, as he an-
ticipates each moment feeling the pang of
- the thrust of the deadly dart.
He rushes hastily up a stairway, and he
feels an increased action in his heart. At
once the dread vision of heart disease flashes
into his line of vision. For months he broods
over the calamity which has overtaken him.
He moves about carefully; ho avoids every-
thing which will produce cxeitcment; he is -
us careful of his heart as if it were a. new
born babe. ’
He has a stutflness in his nose or throat,
and at once he has catarrh, combined with
bronchitis. There are prickling neuralgia
pains in his muscles, and he at once reads up
on the matter and finds that: they are pre-
monitory symptoms of paralysis. .
This self inflicted invalid reads the news-
papers. Every case of death from paresis
aflfrights him. He learns with fresh occasions
of horror- of .hemiplogia, and paraplegia, and
is certain that he is menaced with one of
these forms of disaster. The age of every
man whose death is reported excites in him a
painful interest. If the deceased be younger
than himself he experiences a. poignant pang;
if older, then he has a faint: hope that his own
end is not yet imminent.
CHOLERA SYMPTOMS.
He reads that there is cholera. in Nice or
if‘i‘x’i Eilnuti“ , “N ”3“ ehfrsrribié‘szet:
lence creeping across the continent, over the
channel and Great Britain, thence in infect;-
od vessels to the American shores. On emir
grant trains it crawls along the railway lines
and appears in Chicago, He will be one of
the very- llrst victims. Already he feels the
symptoms of the. disease. He anticipates the
worst, He already feels in imagination the
ngonies of the pain and sees himself cold,
breathless, moribund in the final state of col-
lapse.
Ho complains to his sympathizing friends,
and they proffer him inimitable advice and
remedies. “A cold bath every morning,”
says one; “A hot bath every night,” says at»
other; “Drink a glass of hot water. when you
rise in the morning,” oi; “Drink a glass of
cold water when you go to bed,” is the sug-
gestion of another. One friend mentions a
cathartic, another a lotion a third a. bitten,
8: fourth. an alterativen. Tiers is no human
being or either sex that is not ready to pre-
scribe for any ailment of a friend at a. mo-
ment’s notice.
He reads the scientific physiological pa-
pers. He sees it demonstrated that alcohol
and tobacco are noxious, and he at once quits
their use, and then reads that both are bene<
flcial if used in moderation, and he resumes
his cigar and his beer. Elaborate essays are _
presented that; oatmeal at breakfast is an iii-
dispensable auxiliary of health, whereupon,
he eats it regularly until a. time when lie sees
another scientific authcyity which pro:
nounces the diet as a}. sure producer of ”dys-
