A TERROR OF THE EAST.
He Would not Drink and had a
Great Record at Home.
"Come up and drink !'
As he spoke Tarantula
fixed his single eye oi the
Bill
ten
derfoot from the east, who sat at
a table whence all but him had
fled panic-stricken to the bar of
of the Rustler's Roost.
"I'm not histin pizen this trip,
podner," the tenderfoot made
reply.
"W-h-a-t !" roared Tarantula
Bill in an awful voice that made
the glasses on the bar clink and
the bartender reach for his bullet
proof vest.
"Look out, stranger," the dis
penser of tanglefoot whispered:
"thats Tarantula Bill, the Bucks
ing Bronco of the Brazos."
"Pleased to meet the gentle
man," the tenderfoot cried, cares!
fully adjusting his glasses. "I'm
Halsey Putnam, of Brooklyn."
Tarantula Bill, the Bucking
Broncho, gave a whinny of rage
and pawed the circumambient
air.
"Not histin pizen, eh ?" he
snorted. "Waal, I guess yes.
Step right up here an take yer
bitters !"
"Not a bitter, podner," the
tenderfoot cried, turning to his
newspaper. "Much obliged, but
I ain't irrigatin any nowadays."
Tarantula Bill's single eye
seemed to flash fire, and canters
ing twice around the Roost
he slammed a big six shooter on
the bar and called loudly for a
shroud with a "biled" shirt
front.
"I'm ole death's white boss!
I'm the Bucking Broncho of the
Brazos. I'm a cyclone, a volca
no, a tidal wave, an a yearth
quake all in one ! Come up an
drink !"
"Aw, say, Bill, your trolley's
twisted. Your dynamo is dusty.
Your circuit's full o' more kinks
than the British lion's tail. Go
way an' don't bother me. I'm
not drinkin', see?" the tenderfoot
growled.
The crowd gasped and scatter
ed. "Better drink, young feller,"
suggested the bartender, This
ai'nt no sewing society. Bill's
killed his man.
'.'So yoii've killed your man,
have you, Bronchy ?"the tender
foot inquired. "I'm some on
that too. I've killed 10 or 12
myself, I disremember exactly
which."
A murmer, an awed murmur,
arose from the crowd, and the
Broncho's swarty face paled
visibly.
"It's Jessie James," said YVhis
by Dick.
"No, it's Billy the Kid !" said
One Eared Rafferty.
"'Tain't neither. It's Bob
Younger!" said Whiskers Murs
phey
There was a concerted- moves
ment toward the door.
The tenderfoot was counting
on his fingers. "Yes," reflect
ivelv, "it was 12."
"Twelve !" shrieked Tarantula
Bill. Who who are you,
stranger ?"
"Who am I ?" repeated the
tenderfoot.
"I'm an electrical devastator.
I'm a death-chair on wheels. I'm
a trolly uioterman from Brook
lyn !"
In the mad stampede that fols
lowed, the Bucking Broncho of
the Brazos lost a shoe.
A Real Mrs. Partington.
An English paper tells of a
real Mrs. Partington. She walk
ed into the office of the judge of
probate and asked: "Are you
the judge of reprobates?" "I am
the judge of probate," was the
reply. "Well, that's it, I expect,"
quoth the lady. "You see, my
husband died detested and left
me several little infidels, and I
want to be appointed their ex
ecutiouer !"
VACATION TIME
Is at hand and is welcomed by all, es
pecially those whose duties in life have
caused them to greatly run down their
system to meet the requirements, phys
ical and mental, forced upon them.
With these and others.it is important,
whether at home, at the seashore or in
the country, but some thought be given
to diet, and as further assistance to
Nature, a good building-up medicine
like Hood's Sarsaparilla had best be
resorted to. If the digestion is poor,
liver deranged and frequent headaches
seem to be the rule, Hood's will change
all this and enable everyone to return
to their home and business in a refresh
ed state of mind and bodily health.

Dandruff is an exudation from the

forming scurf and causing the hair to

Another Terrible Crime.
A special from Durham, N. C,
says: "Durham county is afflic
ted with another terrible crime,
one of the most inhuman in the
whole category of crimes this
one seeming to be without any
motive save to gratify the spirit
of a friend.
Monday about 2 o'clock, a
colored girl, about fifteen years
old, who was nursing for Rev.
Frank Sewell, colored, adminis
tered to his two and a half
mouths old baby a dose of con
centrated lye. Dr. A. M. Moore
was called in and attended the
infant. While the child was
still living yesrerday Dr. Moore
gives it as his opinion that death
is the inevitable result.
A warrant was issued against
the girl. She was arrested and
committed to jail to await re
sults. What could have been the
motive that prompted this foul
deed no one seems to know. It is
rumored, however, that this is
the second offense-of the kind of
which she has been guilty.
The difference between Tills and
Simmons Liver Regulator, is just this:
Pills don't go down very easy with most
people, and you feel them afterwards.
While Simmons Liver Regulator in
liquid or powder is very pleasant to
take, and the only feeling that you have
afterwards is the great relief that it
gives from Constipalion, Billiousness,
Sick neadache And Dyspepsia. It is a
mild laxative and atonic.
The Value of Vegetables.
An exchange makes the fol
lowing timely suggestions on
the subject of diet during warm
weather: "Do not eat too much
meat in the summer; a little
meat will go a long way, and on
really hot days large quantities
of meat are decidedly injurious.
It is not for nothing that nature
has been so prodigal with vege
table growth in the hot time of
the year. We are meant to eat
more fruit and vegetables in
summer than in winter, for they
are better for our health. Meat
and fatty foods supply us with
heat as well as with actual nour
ishment, and we do not need to
have our temperature iucreased
on a hot day. See, however, that
the fruit eaten is fresh and fully
ripe, and the vegetables welK
cleansed and freshened and in
good condition. Over-ripe or
green fruit must never be eaten.
Do not be afraid of wasting fruit
which has begun to decay.

SAW THE VIRGIN MARY.
WEALTHY FARMER OF NEW JER
SEY DESCRIBES THE VISION
THAT SURPRISED HIM.
The following story comes
from Belvidere, N. J.:--Moses
Dcpue is known through
out this county and the adjoining
counties in Pennsylvania as the
wealthiest and most staid tiller
of the soil residing in Parhaquary
township. He is a deacon in the
Lutheran Church, Superinten
dent of the local Sunday school,
and comes from a good old Qua
ker family, his father having
been a colonel in the revolutions
arv war. He has been treasurer
of the township, a member of
the County Board of Free Hold
ers.and until last week a prom
inent candidate for State Senator.
He is now looked upon with j
suspicion by his neighbors, and
there are a few who question his
veracity.
He was sitting on the front
poich of his fine old farm house
1 .
Sunday afternoon, when he told
the following strange story:
"Last Thursday afternoon
about 5 o'clock, while fishing
for bass from a boat at the head
of Sabo Rift, in the Delaware
river, I was suddenly startled by
seeing a huge white cloud arise
from the stream near the Jersey
shore, from which there emerged
the strains of sweet music. Its
strange shape and the way in
which it arose, in the form of a
cross, riveted me to my seat. As
the cloud reached a heisrht of
about fifty feet it parted in the
middle, and there, in the centre,
was the form of a beautiful wo
man. "Her sweet face was radiant
with a strange light, her beaut:
ful golden hair fell in heavy rolls
over her shoulders, and a shininsf
crown of silver adorned her brow.
The figure, which was of natur
al size, was robed in a garment
of white which reached to her
feet. As the apparition arose
and floated over the Delaware I
heard sweet songs and music
from overhead.
"Ths fisrure bore a striking
resemblance of portraits of the
Virgin Mary, and was so daz
zling in its brightness that I
placed my hands before my eyes.
When I recovered from my as
tonishment the vision had van
ished." There is no question that Mr.
Depue is firm in his belief that
he saw the apparition described.
Mr. Nataniel Mortonson, a well
known citizen of Ishpeming, Mich.,
and editor Superior Fasten, who, for a
long time, suffered from the most ex
cruciating pains of rheumatism, was
cured, eight years ago, by taking Ayers
Sarsaparilla, having never felt a twinge
of it since.
A Woman Storekeeper Murdered
Shortly after daylight Tues
day morning Kate Cabanie, who
kept a general store in the south
ern suburbs of Montgomery,
Ala., was found lying just out
side the back door choked to
death. The woman was attired
in her nightclothing and it was
evident that she was aroused af
ter going to bed, by the murder
ers. The woman lived in a
room back of her store and had
no one living with her. She
did a good business and had ac
cumulated considerable property
The room was ransacked by the
murderers.
