STOVER’S MACHINE GUN.
When Smith had finished his story
Bolder spoke up. ‘
“I would have liked to have seen your fire.
work display,” he began. “It must have been
rather interesting. It reminds me of the
time I was used for bait."
“Used for bait!” exclaimed several of us in
astonishment.
“Yes, bait for Indians. I tell you, gentle,
men, about the most unpleasant thing in this
life is to be used for Indian bait. It has
made me nervous ever since. It is exciting
and gives a man all the horseback exercise he
wants, yet it is not as a general thing oi
healthy occupation. I would not care to
choose it as a steady business. .
“The first time I met StoverI had no idea
he was crazy. He would talk as rationally
as any man here.”
“Which wasn’t saying much for him,” Ob-
served the man from St. Paul.
“I was out of a job in Kansas Cityand was
looking round for work of any kind when I
stumbled in onStovcr. -Ho seemed to have
a sort of a machine shop. Therowas :1 lot of
gun barrels lying round and a portable forge
stood in the corner, with the usual tools here
and there. ”He said he was going west and
he wanted; is man who knew how to take care
of horses and wasn’t nfrnidof work. I told
him I was just his man and he took me on ‘
the spot. I asked him if he wanted to start
a. machine shop further west, and he smiled
grimly and said' that that was just what he
was going to do. We packed ups. lot of fix-
tures that he had there in some boxes and
there was a lot of other boxes already packed,
of the contents of which I was ignorant. _
“Well, we got away with another fellow
who doserted'us when we were out on the
plains, and so it was no small work looking
after the horses that carried the things, for
we had three wagons and, when the other
fellow left, only two to drive and take care
of them. It was the usual overland business.
Traveling slowly all day and camping out at:
night. .lVe kept on the lookout for Indians,
butrdidn‘t see any, and we kept on so long
that I began to think old Stover was going
clear through to California, but the old man
knew where he was going and he went there
in a. bee line. One afternoon when wo were
days and days from civilization we came to
a bluff close to a. small river.
“ ‘Hcre’s our spot,’ said Stover.
“ ‘Why,’ said I, ‘you don’t expect to start
a machine shop here?’
“ ‘You bet I do.’ replied Stover.
“ ‘Well,’ I said, ‘where will you get your
custom? There isn’t anybody but Indians
for hundreds of miles around.’ ' ‘
“ ‘ch’ll have lots of business when we get
ready for it. Besides I intend to send you
out to drum up trade if it don’t come in by
itself.’ ’
“I began to suspect then that the old man

he owned the horses. Of course I could have

care to do that sort of thing. Besides I
knew that the chances were ten to one that
the Indians would have mo before I got ten
miles 011’. Although Stovcr wasn’t very so-
ciable, he was a heap better’n an Indian.
“I took the horses down to water and
when I came back I said to Stover: ‘See
here, there’s been some one ahead of you on
this here claim. There was a. cabin down
there by the river that’s been burnt down.’
“ ‘Yes,’ said Stover, quietly, ‘thnt; was my
cabin.’ \ , »
“ ‘Nonsense,’ I said, now thoroughly con.-
vinced that he was crazy; ‘you dOn’t expect
me to believe that you were ever out here
beforel’
“ ‘If you go to the other side of the blufl’,’
c said, as quietly as ever. ‘you will see four
graves with a rough wooden cross above
them, if the Indians have not taken it down.
Those are the graves of my wife and three

“He kept moving the machine from one
side to the other and at last got it where he
wanted it. Then he took hold of the lever
and watched the grass. All at once he
pulled, and the yell that rose from the grass
n'imost drowned out the roar of the guns.
W hat was left of the Indians sprn‘ng up and
ran. He got one more shot at them and
mowed them down like grain. For a couple
of days there was no Sign of Indians, and
then it seemed they had got largo re~enforce~
meats. They tried the other side of the fort
and came dashing at us on horseback The
moment the Indians were level with the
stakes old Stover pulled his gun. It was the
most: awful havoc I ever saw. The horses
were wild and the old man fired eight volleys
into ’em before what was left got out of
range.
“That was the last we saw of the Indians.
The old man insisted on going and counting
the dead. I tried to get him not to, for I was
sure the Indians were just laying low and
would nab him. But I was wrong. The
know when they hadenough and had left for
some healthier place. When the old man
came back he said:
“ ‘Thero’s just sixteen of them for every
one they killed of mine, and sixteen over
which is my share. Now, if any accident
should happen to me, you just: take the horses
and get back to the settlement and sell pvery-
thing you can to pay yourself. Your month’s
up today.’
“I was pumpipg water at the time and was
not paying much attention to Stover. Ho'
loaded up tho machine and tieda. rope to the
lover; “GOOd-by, Bolder,’ he cried. .
“I looked up and saw him standing in front
of the barrels with the mpoin his hand. Be-
fore I could move he gave the rope a jerk
and was cut to pieces.
“I got back all right, but the mistake of
my life was that I did notpatcnt old Stover’s

Development of a Malignant Pristine.
“I have just been in peril of my life,”
said Mr. Timothy Woodnttf, “froma malig-
nant pustule. A few mornings ago, in
Brooklyn, upon uwaklng, I found that my
upper lip was badly swollen. I wear a mus-
tache, and I couldn’t see very well what the
trouble was, but I thought I had 'mercly
caught cold in the lip. Accordingly I let it
alone, but when I returned from business at
night, 1 mid to my wife: ‘I feel sick all over,
and it seems to me this odd strolling on my
lip has something to do with it.’ So I, sent
for our family physician, but word was ro-
turned that ho was in Saratoga. I then sent
for two other physicians, but they were also
reported to be out of town. As a last resort I
had my servant go to a neighboring drug
store and inquire what; physicians, there
Were left in Brooklyn. The druggist sent
me the name of one and I soon had him at
my house. He had me out Off my mustache,
and then still that the swelling was only a'
boil. IIo lanccl it, and giving me some
medicine departed. .
“But I became sicker and sicker. I felt as
if poison was running through my veins.
My head seemed full of hot blood and there
was an intense pressure upon the back part
of my neck. I was in agony all night, and
when morning came I resolved to go at once
to Snratoga and see our family physician. I
telegraphed to him I‘was coming, and when
I arrived here I found him awaiting mo. Ho
looked at the swelling and said: ‘Why, itis

iled my existence if it had been neglected

“ ‘Great heavens,’ I cried, jumping up.
‘DO you think I hired to get killed for $16 a

“ ‘Soldiers do it for about that much,’ said
old Stover, as calmly as if it were an every-
day bargain. ‘
“ ‘Yes, but soldiers know what they aré
hiring for. I didn’t) .
“ ‘Wcll, you can give me a month’s notice
and quit if you want; to.’
“ ‘A month’s notice! Where will we be in
a. month if the Indians get on to us?’
“ ‘Blamed if I know,’ said old Stover.
“Well, next day the old man laid out ti
system of fortifications and set mo at; dig-
ging. He ran a shallow'trench down to the
river and took out of one of the boxes a coil
of lead pipe-and micoiled it down the ditch
into the river and fixed up a natty little
pump inside the lines, so that if the Indians
did come they could not cut us off ‘from the
water. Then he covered up the trench, and
there we were—all right as far as water was
concerned, which is an important thing when
you’re fighting redskins. One of the boxes
was fixed so that it was water tight, and that
we pumped full of water. Then Stover left
me working at the embankments, went down
to the timber belt and got out some logs,
I hired
horses, and in the center of the fortifications
be framed his timbers together, making a
mighty solid structure, partly sunk into the
ground. .
“When I had the earthworks finished -
Stover had his machine setup, and it was the
queerest looking arrangement I ever sdw. ‘It
had all been made in Kansas City and put
together there. Then he had taken it apart:
numbered each piece, and it went together
again without a hitch. There were four rows
of short rifle barrels, about ten barrels in a
row, and one row under the other. The muz-
zlcs; of the barrels were slightly further
apart than the butts, so that the battery had
a sort of a. fun look. The next; row under
was the same way, but: the barrels were not
exactly under each other. Isaw that if the
thing would shoot it would; cover quite a. bit
of territory. and cover it pretty well at that.
The whole affair was very clumsy looking.
but it turned quite easily on a. swivel and
could be made to sweepsthe whole horizon.
Then the 'old man made me get a lot of poles
and sent me out around the fort and had. me
set up the poles at different points all around,
while he sighted the machine gun. There
was one disadvantage about the thing, and
that was that It could not be raised or low
cred, and if the enemy once got within its
range it would be useless. I pointed this out
to Old Stover,» but he merely smiled in- his
sanctior way and said he would like to see.
any one getLpnst‘his battery. After the poles
were set all around we tried the gun. Stover
had .set out; u. lot of thin stool bars punched
with ten holes, and in each of the holes was
placed a rifle cartridge He put the four
loaded bars in position, and closed up and
clamped a sort of steel door or lid against
the breech. 0n the outside of this door were
four bars that corresponded with those on the
inside, and when it was closed he pulled a.
lover like one on an old fashioned printing
press, and the whole thing went; off with a
roar and rattle that was terrifying. Every
outside steel bar had ten brads, one opposite
each cartridge, and a jerk on the lover
set ’em all off. Then he threw down the door,
flung the bars with the empty shells on the
ground and put in the next loaded set. Then
the first set was loaded up again.
“When the first volley was fired- it just
mowed down the bushes around one of the
stakes as if a lawn mower had been run
through them. ‘Now, Bolder,’ he said, ‘I
don’t see no signs of Indians, and we must
- have been here over three Weeks. I must use
you for bait. You got on Sam, the fastest
horse, and scour around the country. ; chp
a. sharp lookout, and the moment you see an
Indian make for here. Sam will outrun ’em
every time, if you don’t get so close as to be
within range of ’cm.’ I growled a. good deal,
but had to go. .My mouth wouldn't be up
for another week. ‘ '
“The firzt day I didn’t get to nibble. The
next day I took a, compass and‘wcnt further
from camp. "In the afternoon I thought I
saw a couple of moving dots on one of the
far away hills. Anyhow, I made for camp
as quick as I could, and before evening the
Indians were all around the hill, but they
kept out of range and seemed to bo sizing us
up. life kept watch ali night, but they made
no move. .
‘lIn the morning they made their attack.
They seemed to have picketed their horses
and were crawling at us through the grass.
Old Stover was in high feather. He watched
them with that eagle eye of his and could
tell by the movements of the grass just where
they were.
“ ‘Now, then,’ he said, ‘you lie low and fill

Largest Flower In the World.
In the furl-hat, southeastern island of the
Philippine group, Mindinao, upon one of Its
mountains, Parag, in the neighborth of
the highest: peak in the island, the volcano
Apo, a party of botanical and ethnograph-
icnl explorers found recently, at the height
of 2,500 feet above the sea. level, a colossal
flower. The discoverer, Dr. Alexander Scha-
denberg, could scarcely believe his eyes when
he saw amid the low growing bushes the im-
mense buds of this flower, like gigantic
brown cabbage heads. But he was still more
astonished when he found a specimen in full
bloom, a. five petnled flower, nearly a yard in
diameter—as large us a. carriage wheel, in
fact. This enormous blossom was borne on
a sort Of vino creeping on the ground. It
was known to the native who accompanied
'Dr. Schadenbcrg, who called it Boo. The
party had no scale, using their boxes and
specimens as weights. Weighing these when
opportunity served, it was found that a single
flower weighed over twenty-two pounds.
It was impossible to transport the fresh
flower, so the travelers photographed it, and
dried a. number of its leaves by the heat of a
fire. Dr. Schndenbcrg then sent the photo-
graphs nnd dried specimens to the Royal
Botanical Gardens at Breslau, where the
learned director immediately recognized it
as a. species of i‘affiosia, a. plant formerly dis-
covered in Sumatra and named after the’
English governor, Sir Stamford Raffles.
The new flower was accordingly named Raf-
flesia Schadenbcrgia. The five petals of this
immense flower are oval and . creamy white,
and grow around a. center, filled with count-
less long violet hued stameng, thicker and
longer in the female, or fertile flowers, than
in the infertile.“ The fertilization is accOm-
plished by insects, whose larvae breed in the
decaying flesh of its thick petals. The fertile
flower develops a. soft berryliko fruit, in
which countless seeds are imbedded. The
flower exhnlcs a poisonous gas, even when
first opened, which is most unpleasant.—
Demorest’s Monthly.
Renting Out- Table China.
The manager of a. house furnishing enab-
lishment said to a. reporter: “This custom of
renting out chitin and table furniture grow
up gradually until we found ourselves doing
it: as a. regular business. We do it’ now
straight along at a fixed tariff, and we have-
got together all the things that most house
keepers are apt to want. We rent things at
from 10 to 20 per cent. of the value of the
goods according to the amount needed. You
see very few ladies—oven rich ladies—have
china. enough for a large dinner party, and
so they come to us. Sometimes we rent a.
complete dinner service—sometimes, as with
that lady wh‘o was going out as you came in,
merely a dozen finger howls. Not long ago;
at a house warming Ion Prairie avenue we
not alone rented the table china, but toilet
sets for every room in the. house, fine sets‘
they were, too; and all the company thought, »
of course, that they belonged to the family,
although the washbowis and pitchers and
things only stayed there one evening and.»
were all back in the store-hero next day."
“How about breakages?”
“We are responsible for unbreakage in
taking the goods out and back; the rest the
renter pays for. Breakage, however, is not
a heavy item, with ordinary care. It aver-
ages about 15 per cent. in the year; not more
than that.” , ,;
“And is the trade large enough to amount
to anything?” ' ' '
“It is so large with us that we have tokeop
separate books for it and employes specially
for the taking out and caring for tho rented
goods.” '
"DO you rent dishes to any one besides
families?” ' _ '
“Oh yes; to picnics and clubs and special
dinners. , The caterers rent from us, and so
do the men who arrange excursions. They
hire beer glasses and kn vcs and forks, you;
know. It is a. queer business, but we have to
make it a. regular department of our store.”

t(131011. M. M. Estes and others, committee,
e .:
‘ GENrLsunN—When your committee visited
moon the Fourth Of July last and presented
the Ofllcial announcement‘ of my nomination
fori'the presidency of the United States by
the'- Republican convention ’I promised us
more formal acceptance of the nomination.
Since that the work Of receiving and address-
ing, almost daily, large delegations of my
fellow citizens has not only occupied all of
my time, but has in some measure rendered
It unnecessary for me to use this letter as a
medium of communication to the public my
views on the questions involved in the cam-
go.
I appreciate sass? highly the confidence and
respect manifes by the cOnvention, and ac-
cept the nomination with a feeling of grati-
tude and a full sense of the responsibilities
which accompany it.
It is a nutter of congratulation that the
declarations of the Chicago convention upon
the questions that now attract the interest of
our people are so clear and emphatic.
There is further cause of congratulation in
the fact that the convention utterances of'the
Democratic party, if in any degree uncertain
or contradictory, can now be judged and in-
terpreted by executive or ts and messages and
by definite propositions legislation.
This is especially true of what is popularly
known as the tariff question. The issue can-
not now be obscured. It is not'a. contest be—
tween schedules, but between wide apart
principles. The foreign competitors for our
market have, with quick Instinct, seen how
one issue of this contest may bring them ad-
vantage, and our own people are not so dull
as to miss or neglect the grave interests that
are involved for them.
~ The assault upon our protective system is
open and defiant. Protection is assailed as
unconstitutional in law or as vicious in prin—
ciple, and those who hdld such views sincerely
cannot stop short of an absolute elimination
from our tariff laws of the principle of pro-
tection. The Mills bill is only a step, but it
is toward an object that the leaders of Demo-
cratic thought and. legislation have clearly
in mind. The important question is not so
much the length of the step asthe direction of
it. Judged by the executive message of De-
cember last, by the Mills bill, by the debates;
in congress and by the St. Louis platform,
the Democratic party will, if supported by
the country, place the tariff laws upon a
purely revenue basis. This is practical free
trade-free trade in the English sense. The
legend upon the banner 'may not be “Free
Trade;” it may be the more obscure motto,
“Torin? Reform ;” but neither the bamier nor
the inscription is conclusive, or, indeed, very
important. The assault itself is the important
system of protective. duties is broken down.
If the products of Morison shops must com-
pete in the Amorimn market, without“ favor-
ing,duties, with the products of cheap foreign
labor the effect will. be. different, if at all,
only in degree, whether; the cheap laborer is
across the street or over the sea. Such com-
petition will scan reduce wages here to the
level of those abroad, and when that condi-
tion is reached we will not need any laws for-
bidding the importation of laborers under
contract—they will' have no inducement to
wine and the employer no inducement to send
for them. In'the earliu‘éyears of our history
public agencies to womoto immigration were
common. The pioneer wanted a neighbor
with more friendly Instincts than the Indian.
Labor was scarce and fully employed. But
the day of the immigration bureau has gone
by. While our doors Will continue open to
proper immigration we do not need to issue

if I should be‘charged with" their-enforce-
ment, be-faithfully executed. Such amend-
ments or further legislation as may be neces-
sary and proper to prevent evasions of‘ the
laws and to step further Chinese immigration
wouldalso meet my approval. The expres-
sion of the convention upon this subject is in
entire: harmony with my views. ‘
Our civilcompact‘is a government by ma-
jorities, and the low low its sanction and
the magistrate our respect when this compact
is broken. The evil results of election frauds
do not. expend themselves upon the voters
who are robbed of their rightful influence in
public affairs. The individual, or community,
or party that practises or connives at election
frauds, has suffered irreparable injury, and
will sooner or later realize that to exchange
the American system of majority rule for
minority control is' 'not only, unlawful and
unpatriotio, but very unsafe for those who
promote it. The disfrahchisement of a single
legal elector by fraud or intimidation is a
crime too grave to be regarded lightly. The
right of every qualified elector to cast oné
free ballot and to have it honestly counted
must not be questioned Every constitutional
power should be used to make this right so-
cure, and to punish frauds upon the ballot.
Our colored people do not ask special legis—
lation in their interest, but only to be made
secure in the common rights of American
citizenship. They ' will, however, naturally
mistrust the sincerity of those party leaders
who appeal to their race for support only in
those lowlitips where the sum-age is free and
election results doubtful, and compass their
disfranchisement where their votes would be
controlling and their choice cannot be 00—
erced. -
The nation, not less than the states, is de-
pendent for prosperity and security‘upon the
intelligence and morality of the people. This
common interest very early suggested na-
tional aid in the establishment and endow-
ment of 80110015 and colleges in the new
states. There is, I believe, a present exigency '
that calls for still more'liberal and direct ap-
propriations in aid of common school educa-
tion in the states.
The territorial form of government is a
temporary expedient, not a permanent civil
condition. It is adapted to the exigency that
suggested it, but becomes inadequate and
even oppressive when applieddro fixed and
populous communities Several territories
are well able to bear the burdens and dis-
charge the duties of free oonnnonwealths’in
the American union. To exclude them is to
deny the just rights of their people and may
well excite their indignant protest. No ques-
tio'n of the political preference of the people
of a. territo should close against them the

amount of the duty on the imported article—
that every million of dollars collected for
customs duties represents many millions more

-—may not intend to discredit in the minds of
others our system of levying duties on com-
peting foreign products, but it is clearly al-
doubt, without impugning their integrity,
that if free to act upon their convictions they
would so revise our laws as to lay the burden
of the customs revenue upon articles that are
not produced in this country, and to place
upon the free list all competing foreign
products. I do not stop to refute this theory
as to the effect of our tariff duties. Those
who advance it are students of maxlms and
not of the markets. .
They may be safely allowed to call their
prdject “tariff reform,” if the people under-
stand that in the end the argument compels
free trade in all competing proddcts. This
and may not be reached abruptly, and its
approach may be accompanied with some ox-
pressions of sympathy for our protected in-
dustries and our working people, but it will
. certainly come if these early steps do not
arouse the people to etfectlve resistance.
The Republican party holds that 8. protect-
ive tariff is constitutional, wholesome and
necessary. We do not offer a fixed schedule,
but a principle. We will revise the schedule,
modify rates, but always with an intelligent
provision onto the eilect upon domestic pro-
duction and the wages of our working people.
We believe it to be one of the worthy objects
of tariff legislation to preserve the American
market for American producers and to main-
tain the American scale of wages by adequate
discrimating duties upon foreign competing
products. The effect of lower rates and
larger importations upon the public revenue
is contingent and doubtful, but nbt so the
effect upon American production andAmeri-
can wages. Less work and lower wages must
.bc accepted as the inevitable result Of the in-
creased Offering of foreign goods in our mar-
ket. By way of recompense for this reduction
in his wages and the loss of the American
market it is suggested that the diminished
wages of the workingman will have an un-
diminished purchasing power, and that he
will be able to make, up for the loss of the
home market by an enlarged foreign market.
Our workingmen will have the settlement
of the question in their own hands. They
now obtain higher wages and live more com-
fortably than those of any other country.

that I am. heartily in sympathy with the
declaration of the convention upon the sub-

What they gave and what they suffered I
hadsome opportunity to observe and, ins.
small measure, to' experience. They gave
ungrudgingly; it was not a. trade, butan
offering. The meastu'o was heaped up, run-
ning over. What they achieved only ' a dis-
taut generation can ad'eqdatolytell. With,
out attempting to discus partimrlar proposi-
tions, I may add that measures in behalf of
the surviving veterans of the war and of the
families of their dead comrades should be
conceived and‘executed in a spirit .of justice
and of‘the most grateful liberality, and that,

clasifled civil service received, my support In
the senate, in the belief that it opened the
way to a. much needed reform. I still think
so, and, therefore, cordially approve the clear
and forcible expression of the' convention
upon this subject. The law should have the
aid of a friendly interpretation and be faith-
fully and vigorously enforced. All appoint-
ments under it should be absolutelyfree from
partisan considerations and influence. Some
and desirable, and further legislation extend-
ing the reform to other branches of the serv-
ice to which it is applicable would receive .
my approval; In appointments to . every
grade and department fitness, and not party
service, should bathe essential and discrim-
inating test, and fidelity and emciency the
only sure tenure of office. Only the interests
of the public service should removals
from office. I know the practical difficulties
attending the attempt to apply the spirit-of
the civil service rules to all appointments and
removals. It will. however. be my sincere
purpose, if elected, to advance the reform.
I notice with plenum that the conventim
did not omit to oxpreel its solicitude for the
promotion of virtue and temperance of our
people. The Republican-party has always
been friendly to everything that tendedto
makethehome life of our people free, pure
and prosperous, and will in the future be true
to its history in this respect.
Correlations with foreign pOWers should be
characterized by frisudlines and respect.
The right of our people and of our ships to
' hospitable treatment should he insisted upon
with dignity and finances. Our nation is too ;
great, both in material strength and moral
power, to indulge in blaster. or to be sus-
pected of timorousness. Vacillation and in-
consistency- are as incompatible with suecem—
ful diplomacy as they are with the national
dignity. We should especially cultivate and
extend our diplomatic and commercial rela-
tion with the Central and South Aineriesn
states. Our-fisheries should be fostered and
protected. The hardshipsand risks that are
the necessary incidents of the business should
not be incl-med by an inhospitable exclusion

IIiak, Capt. Jim (both well and favorably

trip in Lynn canal. As the day was fine and
the wind fair, the sail through Gastincnux,
Stephens' passage and Lynn canal was de-
lightful, as, each one is dotted ’with little
islands, rising from the water’s edge to u.
height of 0. thousand feet or more, whilst the
mountains on the main land are thousands of
feet high, with rugged peaks not unlike the
teeth of an old fashioned cross cut saw, the .
spaces between the peaks being filled'with
glaciers and the peaks themselves are covered ,
with perpetual snow. * As I am a choc-chum

told us there was some quartz. We stayed
and examined it, but did not think enough of
It to locate it. The next; day we arrived at
our native’s ilIaheo (us he called it), situated
at. Lynn Canal, and distant about forty
miles from Juneau. It is - a. beautiful bay,
filled withmany islands and; teeming with
fish, from the mighty whale to the tiny her-
ring. while the woods and mountains are full
of game—the sniall and harmless ground hog
and the large and fierce brown bear.
_ The Indiunwho accompanied us is a fine
specimen of his race, as he stands over six
feet in his bar‘s feet, and weighs over 200
‘ pounds. He is a Mormon in proclivities, for
hehasa’ number of wives, who appear well
satisfied with him as their lord and master,

an enthusiast in that line, and many were
the stories and hair breadth escapes he re-

nhis larder iswell stocked with fish, flesh
and fowl; his wives were-brown, fat and
greasy;‘ his dogs, of which he had seven,
were all in splendid condition, and that is
more than can be said of most Indian dogs.

extent of his territory, and said he expected
white men prospecting on his domain to pay
him $2.50 per day 101' his knowledge and
services He said the land and water he-
longed to‘his ancestors from time immemo-
similar" amount of land would allow every-
body on it. His argument brought forcibly
to our mind the “bloated bondholders” of
America and the land question that is now
agitating the British empire, where lords,
dukes and earls are holding hundreds of
miles square that their ancestors acquired by
might, while he claims his by right. The
only diflerence I see between them and this
Indian is that he will be glad to see you hunt
or fish on his supposed country, while if you
caught a trout in their waters or shot a.
pheasant in their woods you would get about
five years.
So we parted with feelings of regret, prom-
ising to return if the Hoonah springs cured
our companion. We‘ran across two men
looking for fresh water. “Just think Of it t”
guy chums exclaimed, “hunting for fresh
water in Alaska! They must be pilgrims
like yourself." The next camp we made was
on' a. large stream, where we found an Indian
and his family on a barren point, exposed to
the elements from all points. He had to
carry tor nearly half a mile. We won-
dered why he built on such a' bleak place,
but be was not communicative, so we con-
cluded he had committed some depredation
on his fellow Indians, turd was continually
on the lookout, is a foo could not approach
him without being seen.
' The next day we traveled against a head
wind and a terrible rain, and after get-
ting drenched to the skin we camped. It
would be very pleasant prospecting in
Alaska were it not for the rain, head wind
and tides, thick brush and musquitoes, and a.
few other little inconveniences. Then, again,

Of miles of pine clad shores, and every now

salmon, disporting, or trying to escape from
some tinny monster Who is trying to catch
him'fora meal. I saw a seal gobble one in
less than two seconds. To me the animals
on such a trip remind one of a great me-

The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.:
Gentlemen—I can, cheerfully and truth-
fully say that S. S. S. is the greatest blood
purifier on earth. In 1834 I contracted
blood poison. Physicians treated me with
, no good results." I took a half dozen diilcru
ent kinds of blood medicines, but, without
receiving any permanent relief ! I'was in-
duced to try S. S. S.. I began the first
bottle with the gravest doubts of success.
I‘ had been so' often deceived. But im-’
provemeut came, and I_ continued its’ use
until perfectly'wcll. I have since married,
and have a healthy family. No trace of the
disease is seen; Swift's Specific did all.
'this for me, and I am grateful. .Yours
truly. - . S. STRADER.
