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

"But you might got drnnfc."

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

"They aro afraid to travel with mon

sheriff says he can hunt you down in a

"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,

after awhile, "yon'vo always had tho

"And I want you to be square about

"As to hew?"
"As to buying yon off. How much'll

"Cash down and no dodges?"
"Yes."

I'll haul off."
"Make it 500, Bill, to oblige me

"Waal, say 500 then, though it's

"Only my line, and here's your mon

He -was a merry troubadour,
And bis bear t was filled with love
For a maiden fair beyond compare,
Who dwelt six blocks above.
Tho night was dark, tho winds wore cold,
But tho minstrel's heart was gay
As he paused before that silent door
And trilled his happy lay.

Rose on tho frigid air.
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."

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,

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

Lately, while an auctioneer was dis

he was interrupted by a half tipsy Irish
man with, "Oi bought a poipe from

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

with Jeb Stuart's

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. "

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.

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

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

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
