RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF II T Grateful Son Says His Father Looks Like Different Man Since Taking Tanlac. "My father 1ms suffered from chronic Htoinneli troulilo for over twenty yenra nnd luis paid out thou winds of (lollurs for medicines nnd doctors," snld 0. W. Sln.Vtou, n well Itiinun Cohh County farmer, living n uliori dl.stnurc out of Atlanta, Gu. "Wo tried nearly everything trying to euro him and ho went olT to the Springs, thinking maybe the water might help him, hut It Just looked like nothing would reach his trouble. Then he tried dieting and lived on liquid food until he almost starved, hut even that failed to do him any good and he Just kept going from had to worse. "I don't guess there ever wiih u case as stubborn as his, and If there ever was a confirmed dyspeptic ho was one of them, and 1 guess he would have been one yet If It hudn't been for this Tiinluc. "The first wo heard of this medi cine was when my father saw an ad vertisement In the papers front parties lie knew In Tennessee, who were friends of his nnd he knew what they wild about It was the truth, bo ho got It right away and began taking It. Well, sir, It acted Just llko magic everybody notices Uie change In fa ther. Why, he Is Just like a different man nnd sits down to the table and eats like n farmhand. Only yesterday lie ate pork ami turnips for his dinner itnd ate so much we were actually afraid he wns going to overdo the thing, hut he laughed and said nothing hurt him now and that he was hungry nnd expected to eat and make up for lost time. "Now, when n medicine will do things like that I think people ought to know about It, and I want to say right now that I would not give one bottle of Tanlac for all the other medicines and health resorts In the country put together," Tanlac Is sold by leading druggists everywhere.

Continued. 2 The man looked around nnd leaned over the wheel as If nbout to lmpnrt n secret. "Sny, I'll tell ye," ho snld In a low tone. "A renl, first-class Idiot never does. You ought to aco my actions." "This land Is nn-Indication flint you're right," Samson Inughed. "It proves It," the stranger whis pered. "Have you nny wnter here?" Sam son linked. The stranger leaned nenror nnd snld In his most confidential tone. "Sny, mister. It's nbout the best In the United States. Right over yonder In the edge o the woods a spring cold ns Ice Simon-pure wnter. 'Bout the only thing this Innd'll raise Is wnter." "This laud looks to me nbout ns valuable as so much sheet llghtnln' and I guess It can move Just uliout as quick." said Samson. The stranger nnswered In a low tone: "Say, I'll tell ye, It's a wild cow don't stund still long 'nough to give ye time to git nnythlng out of It. I've tolled nnd prayed, but It's hard to get much out of It." "Praying won't do this lnnd nny good," Samson answered. "What It needs Is manure and plenty of It, You can't raise anything hero but flens. It Isn't decent to expect flod to 'help run a flea farm. He knows too much for thnt, nnd If you keep It up He'll lose nil respect for ye. If you were to buy another farm and bring It here nnd put it down on top o' this one, you could probably mnke a living. I wouldn't like to live where the wind could dig my pota toes." Again the stranger leaned townrd Samson nnd said in n linlf-whlsper: "Say, mlsjer, I wouldn't want you to mention It. hut tnlkln' o' fleas, I'm like a dog with so many of 'cm that he don't have time to eat.

''Son of Elijah Ilrlmstead?" "Yes, sir." Samson took his hand and shook It warmly. "Well, I declare I" ho ex claimed. "Elijah Ilrlmstead was n friend o' my father." "Who nro you?" Brlmstead asked. "I'm ono o' the Truylors o Vergen nop." "My fntlier used to buy cattle of Henry Trnylor." "Henry was my father.

"A man that's as big n fool as I am ought not to advertise It. A brain that has treated Its owner ns shameful as mine has treated me should bo compelled to do Its own Ihlnkln' er die. I've Invented some things thnt muy sell. I'.ve been hop In my luck would turn." ''It'll turn when you turn It," Sam son assured him. Ilrlmsteail leaned close to Samson's ear ami said In a tone scarcely aud ible T "My brother Robert has his own Idiot nsylum. It's n 'real handsome one nn' he has made It puy, but I wouldn't swap with him." Samson smiled, remembering thnt Robert had a liquor store. "Look here, Henry Brlmstead, wo'ro hungry," he said. "If ye furnish the wuter, we'll skirmish around for bread and give ye us good n dinner as yo ever had In yer life." Henry took the horses to his barn and watered nnd fed them. Then lie brought two palls of water from the spring. Meanwhile Samson started a fire in a grove of small poplars by the roadside and began broiling veni son, and Sarah got out the bread hoard and the flour and tho rolling-pin and the tenpot. As she waited for the water she called the three strange children to her side. The oldest was n girl of ten, with n face uncommonly refined nnd attractive." In spite of her threadbare clothes, slio had a neat and cleanly look and gentle man ners. The youngest wns a boy of four. They were a pathetic trio. "Where's your mother?" Surnh asked of the ten-year-old girl. "Dead. Died when my little brother was born." "Who takes care of you?" "Father and God. Father says God does most of It." "Oh dear!" Sarah exclaimed, with a look of pity. They had n good dinner of fresh biscuits and honey and venison and eggs nnd tea. While they were cntlng Snmson told Brlmstead of tho land of plenty. After dinner, while Brlmstcnd was bringing the tenm, one of his chil dren, the blonde, pnle, tattered little girl of six, climbed Into tho wagon sent and sat holding a small rag doll, which Sarah had given her. When they were ready to go sho stubbornly refused to get down. "I'm goln' away," sho said. "I'm goln' awn-ay off to find my mother. I don't like this plnce. There ain't no Snntn Claus here. I'm goln' away." She clung to the wagon seat and cried loudly when her father took her down. "Ain't that enough to break a man's heart?" he saldwlth a sorrowful look. Then Samson' turned to Brlmstead ami asked: "Look here, Honry Brlmstead, are you a drinking man? Honor bright now." "Never drink a thing but water and tea." "Do you know anybody who'll give ye nnythlng for wlint you own hero?" "There's a man In the next town who offered me three hundred and fifty dollars for my Interest." "Come nlong with us nnd get the money If you can. I'll help yo fit up and go where ye can earn n liv ing." "I'd like to, but my horso Is lame nnd I can't leave the children." "Put 'em right In this wagon nnd como on. If there's n livery In the place. I'll send ye home." So tho children rode In the wagon nnd Samson nnd Brlmstcnd walked, while Sarah drove the team to the next village. There the good woman bought new clothes for tho whole Brlmstead family and Brlmstcnd sold his Interest In the sand plains nnd bought a good pnlr of horses, with harness nnd somo cloth for n wagon cover, nnd had fifty dollars In his pocket nnd n new look In his face. Ho put his children on the bncks of tho horses and led them to his old home, with a snek of provisions on his shoulder. Ho was to take the track of tho Traylors next day and begin his Journey to tho shores of tho Sangamon. They got Into a bnd swale that afternoon ami Samson had to cut some corduroy to mnko n footing for tcftm nnd wagon nnd do much prying with the end of a heavy polo under the front axle. 'By and by the horses pulled them out. "When ol' Colonel bends his neck things have,, to move, even If ho Is up to his belly In tho mud," said Samson. As tho day waned they camo to a river In tho deep' woods. It wns nn exquisite bit of forest with the bells of a hermit thrush ringing In one of Its towers. Their call and the low song of tho river were tho only sounds In tho silence, Tho glow of tho setting sun which lighted tho western windows of the forest had a color like that of tho music golden. Long shafts of It fell through the tree columns upon the rond here nnd there. Our weary travelers stopped ou the rude plank bridge that Copyright. Irvine naehellex crossed the river. Odors of hnlsiun and pine and tamarack came In a light, cool breeze up tho river valley. "I guess we'll stop at this tavern till tomorrow," snld Samson. Joe wns asleep nnd thoy laid him on tho blankets until supper was ready. Soon nfter supper Samson shot a deer which had waded Into' tho rapids. Fortunately, It made the opposite shore before it fell. All hands spent that evening dressing the deer nnd Jerking thu best of the meat. This they did by cutting the meat Into strips about the size of u man's hand and salting nnd Inylng It on n rack, some two feet ubove a slow fire, and covering it with green boughs. The bent and smoke dried the ment In the course of two or three hours nnd gave It a fine flavor. Delicious be yond any kind of meat Is venison treated in this manner. If kept dry, It will retuln Its fluvor nnd Its sweet ness for a month or more. They set out rnther late next morn ing. As usual, Joe stood by the head of Colonel while tho latter lapped brown sugar from the timid palm of the boy. Then the horse wns wont to touch tho face of Joe with his big. hairy lips as a tribute to his generos ity. Colonel had seemed to acquire a singular attachment for the hoy and the dog, while Pete distrusted both of them. He had never n mo ment's leisure, anyhow, being always busy with his work or the files. A few breaks In the pack basket had been repaired with green withes. It creaked with Its load of Jerked veni son when put aboard. Farther on the boy got a sore throat. Sarah, bound a slice of pork around It and Samson built a camp by the roadside, In which, nfter a good fire was started, they gave him n hemlock sweat. This they did by steeping hemlock in pnlls of hot wuter and, whllo the patient sat In a chair by tho fireside, a blanket wns spread about hlin and pinned close to-his neck. Under tho blanket they put the palls of steaming hemlock tea. After his sweat and a day arjd night In bed, with a warm fire burning In front of tho shanty, Joe was nble to resume his seat In tho wagon. They spoke of tho Brlmstcads nnd thought It strange that they had not come along. On the twenty-ninth day after their Journey began they came In sight of the beautiful green valley of tho Mo hawk. As they looked from tho hills they saw tho roof of tho forest dip ping down to the river shores nnd stretching far to the east and west nnd broken, here nnd there, by smnll clearings. Soon they could see the smoke nnd spires of tho thriving vil lage of Utlcn. CHAPTER II. Wherein Is a Brief Account of Sundry Curious Characters Met on the Road. At Ctica they bought provisions and a tin trumpet for Joe, und u doll with a renl porcelain face for Betsey, and turned Into tho grent main thor oughfare of the North leading eastwurd to Boston and westward to a shore of the midland sens. This road was once tho grent trail of the Iroquois, by them called the Long House, be cause it had reached from tho Hudson to Lake Erie, and In their day had been well roofed with follngo. Soon they camo In view of the famous Erie cannl, hard by the road. Through It tho grain of the Fur West had "3ust begun moving eastward In a tide that was flowing from April to December. Big bnrges, drawn by mules and horses on Its shore, were cutting tho still waters of the canal. They stopped nnd looked nt tho barges and the long tow ropes and the tug ging aulmnls. "There Is a real artificial river, hundreds o' miles long, hand made of the best material, water tight, no si ags or rocks or other Imperfectlous, durability guaranteed," said Samson. "It hns mndo tho name of DeWItt Clinton known everywhere." "I wonder what next!" Snrah ex claimed. They met mnny tenms nnd passed other movers going west, nnd somo prosperous forms on n road wider and smoother than nny they had trav eled. They camped that night, close by the river, with a Connecticut fam ily on Its way to Ohio with a great load of household furniture, on ono wagon and seven children In another. So they fared' along through Canon dalgua and across tho Genesee to the vlllago of Rochester and on through Lowlston and up tho Niagara river to the falls, and camped where they could seo the great -water flood and hear Its muffled thunder. When nenr Ing tho latter thoy overtook a family of poor Irish emigrants, of tho nnme of Flanagan, who shared their camp slto at tho falls. Tho Flanagans were on their way to Michigan and had come from tho old country three years before nnd sottlcd In Broome county, New York. They, too; were on their way to a lnnd of better prom Iso. Among them wns a 'rugged, freckled, red-headed lud, well along In his teens, of the name of Deium ulio wore a tall beuver lint, tilled .saucily on ono side of his head, and a ragged blue coat with brnss buttons, qs ho walked bcidde the oxen, whip In hand, with trousers tucked In the toiis of his big cowhide bootfl. There was also a handsome young man In this party of tho name of John Mc Neil, who wore n ruffled shirt and swallow-tall coat, now much soiled by the Journey. Ho listened to Snmson's account of the Sangnmon country and said that he thought ho would go there. Sarah gave tho Irish family n good supply of cookies and Jerked vcnlsou before she bade them good-by. When our travelers left, next morn ing, they stopped for a last look at the great falls. "Children," Mild Samson, "I want you to take a good look at that. It's the most wonderful thing In the world and maybe you'll never see It ngaln." "The Indians used to think that the Great Spirit was In this river," said Sarah. "Kind o scent's to mo thoy were right," Snmson remarked thoughtfully, "Kind o' seems ns If the- great spirit of America was In that water. It moves on In the way It wills nnd no thing can stop It. Everything In Its current goes along with It." "And only the strong can stand the Journey," snld Snrah. These words were no doubt Inspired by nn ache In her hones. A hard seat and the ceaseless Jolting of the wagon through long, hot, dusty days had wearied thorn. Even their heurts were getting sore ns they thought of the endlesB renehes of the ronds ahead. Samson stuffed n snek with straw und put It under her nnd the children on "Kind o' Seems As If the Great Spirit of America Was In That Water." the sent. At a word of complaint he was wont to say: "I know It's awful tiresome, but we got to have patience. We're goln' to get used to It nnd have n wonderful lot of fun. The tlmeil pass quick you see." Then he would sing nnd get them all laughing with some cu rious bit of drollery. They spent the night of July third nt n tnvern In Buffalo, then n busy, crude and rapid growing center for tho shipping eas nnd west. There wero emigrants on tholr way to the Far West In the crowd men, women nnd children nnd babies In arms Irish, English, Rer mnns nnd Yankees. There were also well-dressed, handsome young men from the colleges of New England going out to be missionaries "between tho desert nnd the sown." Buffalo, on the edge of the mid land seas, had the flavor of the rank, new soil In It those days and especi ally that day. when It was thronged with rough coated and rougher toughed, swearing men on a holiday, steve dores and boatmen off the lakes und rivers of the middle border some of whom had had their training on tho Ohio and Mississippi. There was much drunkenness and fighting in tho crowded streets. Some of the carriers and handlers of American commerce vented their cnthuslnsm In song. They bnd the lake view und Its cool breeze on their way to Silver Creek, Dunkirk nnd Erie, nnd n rough way It 7as In those days. Enough hns been written of this long und wearisome Journey, but the worst of It wns ahead of them much the worst of It in the swamp flats of Ohio and Indiana. In one of the former n wagon wheol broke down, nnd thnt duy Sarah began to shake with ague and burn with fever. Sam sou built a rudo camp by the road side, put Sarah Into bed under Its cover nnd started for the nearest vil lage on Colonel's back. "Now we'll go oTr and see Abo Lincoln." (TO 1313 CONTINUED.)
