SKETCHES BY M. QUAD An Ace Setter. One day there arrived at Prairie City a man from Grizzly Gulch a bold, bad man, with long hair, a voice like the roar of a lion and a terrible thirst for xich red blood. He stood on the public squru and whooped till he crew a cr i! Then he flung down his hat and criwc? out that Grizzly Gulch was full of b'ars and rattlesnakes and ccntipeds and alligators, but that every varmint and reptile fled in terror at sonnd of ha i footsteps. He said he had been scalped by Indians, run over by wild horseE, struck by lightning, pursued by a prairio fire and drawn down by quicksands, but ho still lived and was hungry for hu man ears fried in bacon grease. When things went his way, ho was as good natured as a baby and would go a milo out of his way rather than disturb a Bleeping coyote, but when things went wrong, then look out! He could remem ber the names of 21 men he had buried, and ho had a poor memory at that. Ho was naturally a peaceful man, but once I aroused he could not hold himself and i would not bo responsible for damages. The stranger continued talking iu this strain for a quarter of an hour, by which time the crowd had taken his measure. He had stopped for breath and was getting ready to jump on his hat again when a man who had been lean ing against tho frcui of a shanty saloon lounged ovor to him and drawled out: "Strauger, whar did ye say ye hailed from?" "From Grizzly Gnlch, sir, and Griz zly Gulch iB the begiuain of Fightin creek 1" "And yo've killed men?" "Acres of 'cm." "And held towns?" "A dozen of 'cm." "And yer name? What might yer name be?" ".My name? Whoop! Thar ain't a crit ter in this hull kentry what don't trem ble when ho hears it! My name, sir, ar' Three Aco Jim." "S-o?" drawled the Prairio City man. "Waal, I'm sorry fur ye, really sorry. " "Don't go fur to rile me!" shouted tho stranger as he flung his arms about. lTM FOUR ACE JACK HE SAID AS WITH "Who bo yo that ye ar' sorry fur Three Aco Jim!" "I'm Four Ace Jack, " replied ihe other as he pulled a gun aud touched the stranger's nose with the muzzle, "and as four aces alius beats three I reckon yo'd better travel 1" "Say," said the man from Grizzly Gnlch after a long look around, "I'vo got pressiu bizness over at Cedar City, and if this yere crowd will kindly ex cuse mo I'll bo goin!" Wo watched him until he was half a mile away watched him, witli no man speaking a word. Then the man with the gnu restored it to its holster and started back for the saloon with tho muttered exclamation : "Bah! Ho was only a duffer." Obliging a Schoolma'am. A schoolma'am had arrived at the frontier town to begin her duties, and the dozen men who saw her get out of tho stage and enter the hotel agreed that sho was young and good looking; also that she was probably nervous, and that the boys hadn't .ought to do any shooting on that first night and keep her awake. The girl was at supper when Bill Green entered the room, cap in hand, introduced himself, and added: 'Thar's a critter in town named Joe Goss, and I'vo said I'd shoot him on sight Bein as it might disturb ye, however, I'll put the shootin off fur a day or two." The schoolma'am thanked him with all her heart, and he withdrew, but she had only retired to the sitting room when Bill reappeared to say: "Thar's a duffer in town who says he kin mako me eat dirt. Hev yo any ob jeckshuns to my staudiu up to him?" "Would there be a quarrel?" she asked. . "Sartinly, ma'am." "And shooting?" . "Of course." "Then I wish you wouldn't. " "All right, ma'am, all right. Fur yer sake I'll let him bluff mo tonight and pop him tomorrer. " Sho expressed her deep sense of obli gation, and he retired, but ten minutes later he re-ent9red to say: "A galoot named Jim Wheelan has sent me word that he kin break me in two and will be along purty soon to do it Would yo mind if I lit on to him?" "Would it bo a fight?" she asked. "Yes, a powerful fight" "Then, I hope you won't." j "All right, ma'am, all right.

She was being shown to her room when ho met her in the hall and anxiously said: "Thar's a wall eyed heathen out yere who needs shootin, but I won't do it tonight ou account of yc. I'd like to as ye, however, if I might take three drinks at tho bar?" "But you might got drnnfc." "Ob, no. I'll take three drinks and then fling my hat down and jump cn it." "But no quarreling." "No, ma'am. I'll jump on my hat and hcot, and Feme cuss will tackle me, and I'll cbaw his oars off and g'ongn his eye out, and ye won't hear a sound or lose a wink cf sleep. All right, ma'am, all right. I'm a gentleman an ye ar' a lady, and things shall go off as slide as grease, or I'll kill fivo or six men and know the reason why." BnyJnfi: Off n Itoad Ajjcnt. After Arizona Bill had held up thrco or four of the stages on the Deadwood line tho manager sent word to him to meet him at a certain point for a busi ness talk, and both were on hand at tho appointed hour. "Look here, Bill," began tho man ager, "how much are yon making out of this deal?" "Just fair wages, " replied Bill. "I think I got abont $G00 off tho four stages, and that's nothing to brag about, Somo of the boys on the other lines are raising $1,000 at a clip. It's a poor lot of passengers you are sending out, colo nel." "They aro afraid to travel with mon ey, and this thing has got to stop. Tho sheriff says he can hunt you down in a week." "He's a duffer, colonel, and you know it. Ho can't hunt me down in a year." "But I can hiro four or five men to track you down and kill you." "You can hire 'em, of course, but they'd want big pay, and then they might not find me. Take it all around, colonel, I've got tho bulge ou your line. None of tho drivers can shoot for shucks, nud as for the passengers, they couldn't HE TOUCHED THE STRANGER'S NOSE HIS GUN. hit a red Lain a red off. It's a reg'lar soft snap for mo. " "Say, Bill," continued the colonel after awhile, "yon'vo always had tho reputation of being a square cuss." "Yes, I reckon I hev." "And I want you to be square about this matter. I'm willing to meet yon half way." "As to hew?" "As to buying yon off. How much'll yon take to let our lino alone?" "Cash down and no dodges?" "Yes." "Must I let every stage pass?" "Yon must What's your figure, Bill? Make it as low as you can." "Waal, colonel," said Bill, after thinking it over, "I've got a purty good thing of it, but I don't want to act mean or play the hog. Gimme 700, and I'll haul off." "Make it 500, Bill, to oblige me personally." "Waal, say 500 then, though it's dog cheap. It's only fur your line, though?" "Only my line, and here's your mon ey, and I shall expect you to stick to the agreement." Bill vowed that he would, and he did that is, tho first time he tried to hold up a s(:ge on the opposition line he was riddled with buckshot aud buried alongside the road. M. Quad. Beady For Advice.

He praised with sighs his darling's eyes And the color of her hair. He sang in mellow monotono Of her form with grace bedight And prayed that the with ecstasy Would dream of him that night. Then suddenly the moon o'er all A swift effulgence sent, And very plain on the window pane He saw the words, ''For Rent." New York Sunday Journal. NOT HIS KIN. How Davis Keen the Other Davises "Wcro Miserable Impostors. After supper, when the old man and I had lighted our pipes, I remarked that he was the fifth man of the name of Davis whose hospitality I had enjoyed in that locality during tho week, and after describing them I asked if they were his relations, but he shook his head, chuckled grimly and said: "Right in this county, stranger, thar's at least ten f am 'lies named Da vis, but not a durned one of 'em is any relashun to mo 't all." "Do yon know them all personally?" I asked. "Yes, but we hain't onspeakin terms now, and I'll tell you why. 'Bout five y'ars ago, when I wnz mighty well fixed, all tho Davises in the world, it seemed to me, begun to settle around yere, and not a day passed that sum of 'em didn't call and claim relasbunship. ' ' "And all of them impostors, eh?" "Fur shore!" he exclaimed, warm ing up to his subject. "At fust I wuz mighty glad to see 'em and reckoned they inought be related to me, but when I'd bring up our fam'ly history they knew nothin about it They jest beat around the bush until my last drap of licker wuz gono and then took a scoot. Why, it got so arter awhilo that I had to stand outside with a club all day a-drivin Davis fam'lies away." "How did you finally get rid of them?" "By jest tirin 'em out, I reckon. When tho Davises as hadn't bin yero cum along, I'd shut 'em up with fam'ly history, aud when tho Davises as had bin yere cum back fur more licker I'd use the club. What convinced mo more than anything else that they wuzn't my relashuns wnz this: I had about a dozen suckin pigs aud seven or eight lino calves on tho place, and every time a Davis went ho took ouo of those pigs with him." "Aud that proved it, eh?" I asked as he paused there. "In conrse!" ho snapped. "Do you s'pose ouo of my relashuns would stoop as low as that? Waal, I reckon not, strauger. Ouo of my relashnus would have taken a calf every timel" 2scw York Sunday Journal. Ho Was Thero Once. Tho other day one of tho Illinois la dies whose husband is drawing salary as a representative from that state in congress was assisting to do the honors at a tea, and a quiet representative, who represents a southern constituency, wan dered in and fell into the Illinois wom an's hospitablo hauds. Sho tried to do the agreeable, bnt tho gentleman was rather unapproachable. Finally, over an infinitesimal cup of tea and a "bis cuit," they got to talking of Chicago. "It is the most wonderful city in tho world," declared tho lady. "Wero you over there?" "Um er well, yes, once," was the hesitating renly. "Oh, how delightful!" sho responded animatedly. "Didn't you like it? Do tell me how it impressed you." "Well, to tell the truth," he replied in his soft southern drawl, "it didn't pleaso me very well. I was urgently forced to go ou business that could not bo deferred. I was very closely confined while thero, and when it was concluded I was so gl d to get away that I saw but little of the city." "Oh, that is too bud!" she returned feelingly. "How long ago was it, and where did you stop?" "It was i" 1863, and I was a prisoner in Camp Douglas, with a fenco so high about it that I couldn't see over." Then she changed the subject. Washington Star. A Sure Cure.

Lately, while an auctioneer was dis posing of a bankrupt tobacconist's stock, he was interrupted by a half tipsy Irish man with, "Oi bought a poipe from yez last night for a shilling that's worth only sixpence." "I'll believe that, Pat," replied the auctioneer, who fancied himself witty. "If you tell me who my father is, I will give yon back the shilling." "The father of loies, you ch'ating spalpeen," readily exclaimed Pat. Scottish Nights. A CAVALRY General George tteido Dashiel Bayard was killed at Fredericks burg before the bugle sounded the call for .battle. Bayard commanded the cav alry division of the left wing of J3urn side's army and was at General Frank lin's headquarters, the famous family seat known as "Marsbfield,' receiving instructions for the attack, when he was struck down by a shell. The cavalry pickets had been pushed forward under Bayard's leadership into c 1 o s o contact with Jeb Stuart's squadrons. . The line was nnder skirmishing fire when Bayard was summoned to headquarters. Conf e dor at o shells wero at GENERAL BAYARD. that time flying around the old man sion, and Bayard was warned of the danger. Turning his face toward the enemy's battery, ho gave a look of defi ance and was instantly prostrated by a piece of shell. Bayard died at the age of 27. Ho was tho most promising cavalry leader at that date in tho Army of the Potomac. His first independent command was tho First Pennsylvania cavalry. Colonel Bayard, commander of the First Penn sylvania cavalry, continental army, was the great-grandfather of this yonug war leader. General Bayard carried a scar given him by tho arrow of a Kiowa warrior in 1860. He had passed through many battles in tho war and reached tho command of a division at the opening of the Fredericksburg campaign. Bayard's favorite speech before a charge was, "Men, I will ask you to go in no place but whero I lead. " FORWARD The gallantry dis AGAENST played in t he ch arge MARYES HILL. Lil Dpc 13 18(Jo has never been surpassed. Until the as sailants confronted tho sunken road and stonewall, alive with Confederate rifle men, who had held their fire calmly, tho march had not been extra hazard ous. Kimball's brigade was in tho lead, and tho regimental colors were planted to mark the alignments within a stone's throw cf the road and wall. The men lay down, covering themselves as best they could to await re-enforcemeuts. Two brigades, led by Palmer and An drews, rushed over the bloody conrse and halted at the line. Hancock's division had been ordered to follow French's, and, uuappalled by the experience of those first to go for ward, these noble troops took tip the fight. Hancock led 18 regiments, mus tering 5,000 men. Over 2,000 fell. Eight of Hancock's regiments lost two or more commanding officers killed or wounded. Two of the regiments lost two each, five of them lest three and one, tho Fifth New Hampshire, lost fivo in the course of that desperate charge. Tiie Fifty-third Pennsylvania lest 8 of ficers out of 14 and one-half of its men. The Seventh New York lost 18 officers out of 25 and nearly half its men. Tho Fifth New Hampshire lost 17 out of 23 officers and over half its men. The Sixty ninth New York lost 16 officers out of 19 and over half its men. This regi ment marched that day with the Irish brigade. When the line was forming, tho brigade stood near a box hedge, and General Meagher broke off a sprig of green, placing it in his cap. As tho ranks passed tho hedge every soldier imitated tho act of the leader, and so it came about that the Confederates on the hill recognized tho sons of Erin as the brave fellows swept forward to the base of the hill. The green badges were noted in the caps of the dead among those nearest the stone wall. HEROES UNDER Tho Twenty-fourth FIRST FIRE. Michigan joined the Iron brigade in the Army of tho Potomac just before tho campaign of Fredericksbnrg. The regi ment had been hurriedly organized at Detroit and sent to the front. In strong contrast were tho pale faces and bright new uniforms with bronzed skin and well worn blouses of the veterans of the gallant phalanx that had earned scars and fame in battle. The first experi-' ence of the novices under fire was on the open brow of a hill fully exposed to the enemy's artillery on Fredericksbnrg heights. A solid shot cut off the arm of a soldier in Company I aud instantly killed a lad named Lonis Hattie, who was but 18 years of age and the favorite of the regiment. When these startling casualties be came noised along the ranks, there was some unsteadiness in the execution of commands, for it was a trying moment to stand idle with cannon balls plowing the ranks and shells screaming over head. The historian of this noble regi ment, O. B. Curtis, thus describes tho incident which followed: "Colonel Morrow saw the wavering lines and was quick to discern that no troops would long stand in bucIi fire unemploy ed without the privilege of returning a single shot. To bring the men to them selves he halted the line and put the regiment through the manual of arms drill. His sonorous orders : 'Attention, battalion. Right dress. Front. Support arms,' etc., were heard over tho field, and with all the precision of parade the orders were obeyed. It was a glorious sight to see nearly 1,000 men standing at 'support arms' while the air was torn with shells and the very hills seemed to rock under the reverberation. " The Twenty-fourth had further bloody initiation on that field and bore the bat tle so well that tho veterans gladly wel comed it into the ranks of tho Iron bri gade. At Gettysburg it formed and de fended six different lines of battle and was nearly annihilated. Pree Pills. Send your address to H. E.

A loolc of serious meditation rests upon the face of the middle aged. man who stands at the intersection I of two important thoroughfares and gazes in silence at the ground before him. He is plainly hut comfortably dressed, his features are bronzed, and his hands hear the marks of toil. Citizens pass and repass, yet he heeds them not. Tho roar of traffic is all about him, but apparently he does not hear it. His thoughts are far away. Who shall say that thoughts are not things? VTho knows hut that the processes of the mind leave last ing traces upon an environment now unseen but as real as tho visi ble and tangible thing we call mat ter, and that some day, when the veil is rent asunder and the spiritual eye looks forth upon a new universe. it will see in changeless forms tho real and substantial results of those mental processes, and but the man is moving. Slowly, he stoops. . He picks up something from the ground. He holds it in his hand and looks at it thoughtfully. Then ho steps forward. There is a leisurely dignity in his movements that well maychallengo the attention of the student of Amer ican institutions and move him to reflection upon tho effects of those institutions upon the national char acter. He stoops again. He places carefully upon the ground tho object ho has carried in his hand. Picking up an iron implement, he brings it down once, twice, thrico upon the object. Then he straightens up, drops the implement of iron and resumes his contemplative gaze downward "into the bowels of the earth. He is an employee of tho street department. He is laying a pavement. Chica go Tribune. A Danish Feasant Wedding. The tables were arranged after the fashion of ancient banquet ta bles, forming an open square, the bridal couple taking their places at the middle of the cross tables fac ing the square, and after them each as he happened to come into the room. After an interval of silence, to make sure that every one was seated, each guest took up his spoon. Seeing no plates or other dishes, I began to wonder what those imple ments were intended for, when the serving maids brought in great howls of steaming rice. Flacing four of these to each table, they di vided tho contents into four sections by deep indentations in the form of a cross, and into the grooves thus formed poured a cupful of melted butter and a plentiful sprinkling of cinnamon and sugar. Then opera tions began, four guests to one bowl, dipping evory spoonful into tho hot butter. After this courso followed meat? in season, deliciously prepared and in prodigious quantity. Wheaten cakes, very much raisined, wero of fered as a last course, with, some home brewed beer of peculiarly rich, honeyed taste, very superior to any beverage of the kind I have ever tasted in my own country.

Abominable Catarrh. It is not reasonable to expect to be cured of any disease, no matter how constant and persevering the treat ment, when that treatment is alto gether misdirected, and can not possi bly reach the trouble. This explains why those afflicted with catarrh meet with so much dis couragement. Though they faithfully take the usual treatment consisting of sprays, washes, etc., and pass through the summer without much discomfort, as soon as cold weather returns, they find themselves more firmly in the grip of the disease than ever. Such results could hardly be expected if the proper treatment had been given. i Any one who has had experience with catarrh will readily admit that it is one of the most obstinate of diseases; it is easy to see, therefore, that it is deep-seated, and that no remedy which merely reaches the surface can have the slightest effect upon it. The only known cure for catarrh is a real blood remedy, one which gets at the seat of the disease the cause of the trouble and forces it from the system. Such a remedy is S. S. S. (Swift's Specific). Mr. H. P. Cook. Mr. H. P. Cook, of 32 Walker street, Atlanta, Ga., suffered intensely from, catarrh. He says : "I at first thought I had only a bad cold, and didn't give much atten tion to the obstructions iu my nose and throat. This soon became notice able, and began to so inconvenience me, that I applied for treatment and was given the usual local applications of sprays, washes, etc. The immediate effect of the treatment was to relieve me, but only for a short time after ap plication, and I could easily see that the disease was growing worse stead ily, and seemed to grow deeper toward my lungs ; my nose and throat were constantly choked up, so that I was all the time hawking and spitting, and to add to it all, the disease became very offensive. I was unable to obtain much sleep, being compelled to get up constantly during the night to clear my throat and keep from choking. "I tried various treatments without relief, as none of the medicines seemed to reach the disease. Finally, some one recommended S. S. S., and before I had finished one bottle, I felt better. I continued the medicine, and it cured me permanently. I truly believe S.S. S. is the only cure for catarrh, the most abominable of all diseases." S. S. S. is unlike all other blood remedies, because it is more than a mere tonic, and goes directly to the seat of all blood diseases, and cures the most aggravated cases of Cancer, Ca tarrh, Rheumatism, Eczema, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc. S. S. S. is the only blood remedv cruaranteed Purely Vegetable. Books on blood and skin diseases will be mailed free to any address, by Swift bPEcinc Co., Atlanta, Ga.
