A Romancejii Real Life.
Uy .TameK Otis
Eoberfc Myron was the son of an
English tenant-farmer , who in tho
year 1848 found his family expenses
incrciiHing so much faster than his
income that it was absolutely nec
essary to decrease the former , since
the latter could not bo made longer.
In the hope of being able to assist
his father in some way , Kobcrt came
to this country , and , failing to find
employment near the metropolis ,
walked from town to town until when
near Rochester , New York , ho wclb
hired r.s a farm laborer by Judge
James E. Berry. During six years
young Myron worked industriously ,
sending nearly all of his earnings to
his parents , and then came the sad
news that both father and mother
had died on the same day. After re
covering from this shock it was but
natural the young man should begin
to think of establishing a homo for
himself , and quite as natural that
his love sjiould go out to tho daugh
ter of his employer , who plainly
showed her preference for the young
man who had so devoted himself to
his parents. But Judge Berry , while
he recognized in Myron an invaluable
farm laborer , had not the same views
him son-in-law that
regarding as a - -
Miss Bessie had , and the consequence
was that the lovers , finding it impos
sible to change the father's opinion ,
resolved to elope , and build up for
themselves a home in the far West.
In 1885 , with but a few hundred
dollars and tho judge's curse , the
young couple were married and sot-
tied at Green Lake , Michigan , where ,
at tho beginning of the year 18G2 ,
they were in reasonably prosperous
circumstances , with two children to
make glad their humble log cabin.
Their farm was situated several miles
from any settlement , and although
the Indians were rising against the
whites in many portions of the State ,
neither Mr. nor Mrs. Myron felt any
uneasiness , because they believed
they had succeeded in establishing
the most friendly relations with such
of tho "forest children" as they came
in contact with. Therefore they were
by no means alarmed whgti one day
five Indians stalked gravely into the
cabin , just as the noonday meal was
served. It had ever been Mr. Myron's
custom to invite such visitors to par
take of food , and on this , as on other
occasions , they readily accepted the
invitation ; but greatly to the sur
prise and uneasiness of their host , in
stead of placingtheir rifles in one cor
ner of tho room , as usual , they held
I them between their knees , the muzzles
of the weapons showing just above
the edge of the table.
Mr. Myron was too well versed in
Indian customs not to know that
such action on the part of his guests
meant mischief. With the view of
showing them that he understood
the meaning of this breach of hos
pitality , and in the slight hope of in
timidating them , he arose from the
table , took from the rack on the wall
Lis rifle and fowling piece , and care
fully examined them to show they
were loaded. Why the savages did
not attack him then is one of the in
explicable * things in Indian warfare.
Instead of making any hostile
demonstrations , they stalked gravely
out of the house , disappearing be
hind a clump of bushes.
For the moment Myron believed he
Lad wronged Lis guests and tliat
tLey Lad taken umbrage at Lis
movements wLen tlieir intentions
were peaceful. Still holding his rifle
in his hand Myron stepped to the
open door for the purpose of ascer
taining whether his guests had really
departed. When the farmer appeared
on the threshold the report of a rifle
wras heard , and Myron fell , with a
dangerous but not necessarily fatal
wound in his side.
Women who live on the border ,
where they are constantly menaced
by danger , learn early inlii' that they
must deny themselves woman's privi
lege of fainting. When Mr. Myron
fell , Lis wife sprang to Lis defense
ratlier than assistance. To close and
barricade windows and doors was
but the work of a moment where
every tiling was prepared for
such occasions , and then the
heroic woman turned her at
tention to her husband and children.
The father ' s wound bled but little ,
and save to stanch the blood , the de
voted wife could not aid him , except
by piling the bedding around him in
such a way that , in a sitting posture ,
he could face the closed door. The
temporary safety of the children was
secured by fastening them in the cel
lar , where they would be beyond the
reach of any bullets their late visitors
might send , and after she had per
fected their plan of defence she began
to assume the offensive.
By removing the mud that filled
the crevices of the logs at the end of
the house loop-holes were formed ,
and through these the husband and
wife began an assault upon their foes.
With his rifle Myron shot one of the
Indians , and at the same timehis wife
killed another with the fowling piece.
By this time the foe , finding their in
tended victims more tenacious of life
than tLey had supposed , resorted to
stratagem to accomplish the massa
cre. In the field was a cart half filled
with Lay ; in the stable yard stood a
yoke of oxen quietly eating. To
fasten tLe animals to the cart and
not expose themselves to the deadly
aim of those in the house was accom
plished. To get the load of hay
against the building , that it might
be set on fire , was still more difficult ,
and in this case unsuccessful , for be
fore it could be done both husband
and wife had shot an enemy , while
the fifth and only remaining one
Bought safety in precipitate flight.
Each moment the conflict lasted
the husband grew weaker and medi
cal aid could not be procured with
out a journey of 180 miles. To
traverse this distance there was no
other conveyance than the oxcart.
In this rude vehicle Mrs. Myron i
placed her husband and child- )
t
dren , and not once during
that tedious journey , made painful
by tho suffering of tho man for whom
she had braved the dangers and dis
comforts of a frontier life , was a halt
made.
At St. Cloud surgical aid was pro
cured , and there , after Mr. Myron's
recovery , ho sought work of any
kind that would bring in sufficient
for the support of his family , since
the depredations of tho Indians had
impoverished him. It was only by
the greatest exertions that Mr. My
ron could keep his family from actual
want ; and hearing that laborers were
in greater demand at Cape Giradoau ,
he , with his wife and children , em
barked on the steamer Tidal Wave
for that place , after having remained
at St. Cloud nearly a year.
Tho vo\ragowas never completed ,
however , for when Tower Grove , Mis
souri , was reached , a fire broke out
on the ill-fated steamer , and in a
very short , time she was burned to
tlie water's edge. The loss of life was
considerable , and among the missing
ones were the two Myron children.
For the second time Robert Myron
was homeless and penniless , with his
sufferings intensified by the loss of his
children. Perhaps it was fortunate
for him that he was obliged to work
very hard simply to keep the wolf
from the door , for it prevented him
from brooding over his misfortunes ,
as even a stronger man might have
dono.
During the two years that elapsed
after tho burning of the Tide
Wave , Robert Mryon labored
industriously , but without success ,
so far as the accumulation of world
ly goods was concerned ; he had been
able to pay the rent of a rude cabin
three miles from the village of Tower
Hill , and to furnish it scantily. But
the expenses attendant upon the
birth of two children , and his own
severe illness , during which he was
confined to his bed two months , had
exhausted the small fund he had suc
ceeded in saving to enable him to
remove to Capo Girardeau.
Then came a time when he could
no longer find employment near his
wretched home , and he sought it
some miles up the rhrer , going and
returning each day in a small boat.
Even wlien it appeared tliat mis
fortunes was not wearied with pur
suing him , for one night when re
turning from his work , a storm came
up , which overturned his frail skiff ,
and , nearly exhausted , ho was thrown
upon a narrow bar of sand that
made out from a bank of tho river
at the spot where the Tidal Wave
was burned. On this frail and
treacherous foothold he managed to
remain during the night , in full sight
of the town , but unable to attract
attention to his desperate condition.
The dawn of day revealed still more
horrors , for close beside him , having
evidently been unearthed by the
waves , was a skeleton of a human
being. At first Myron felt that fear
wliicli seems to be natural in man
when lie sees the deserted tenement of
one of his kind ; but the resting-place
wh'ich the waves gave to the living
and the dead was so small that he
was obliged to remain almost " in ac
tual contact with the yellow bones.
As he sat by the skeleton waiting for
help from the shore , which seemed so
tardy in coming , he saw about the
ribs of the ileshless frame a leather
belt. Curiosity overcame his terror ,
and , unfastening the belt , he found
within it gold coin to the amount of
§ 5,000.
Tliat Robert Myron was in a fever
of excitement hardly needs to be told.
He had struggled to the full strength
of man many years , and Avas Lardly
more than a pauper when ; he should
have had at least a spot of God's
footstool he could call his own. The
dead had brought him what the living
had refused. To take the gold for
his own purposes seemed a theft , and
yet he who had fastened it about his
body could no longer use it. The
struggle between his conscience
and his necessity was a long one ; btit
when those who came to rescue him
arrived at the sand bar they found
him with a skeleton on which nothing
could be seen , and no one could have
fancied that the half-drowned man
had found a treasure. That tho bones
were those of one of * the passengers of
the Tidal Wave , no one doubted , and
they were given a resting-place
among the nameless graves of those
who had lost their lives in the disas
ter. No one save Robert Myron and
his wife knew of the money-belt , or
that on the inside of it , cut deep in
the thick leather , was the name
"Henry Parks. "
But Myron , having this money , did
not dare to use it openly lest people
should question how he got it. He
had agreed with his wife that they
should use the gold for their own
benefit , but do it with the view of re
turning ib if they should ever find the
dead man's heirs. This he hoped to
do by making such investments as
could be readily realized upon , so
that they might show themselves to
be good , even if self-elected , stewards.
The cabin they lived in , and the
five acres ofland surrounding it , was
for sale at a price below its real val
ue. Myron represented to the owner
that , despite appearances , ne had
succeeded in saving a small amount x
3f money about hah"the price asked
and offered to buy it if Lis note
ivould bo accepted for the balam e.
The bargain was made , and Myron
still continued to work by the day
" or any one who would Lire him , till-
ng Lis own farm wlien Le could find
10 otlier work. Then ho invested in
i verv small wav in stock , buving .
vhen he could get decided bargains '
3nly. Year by year he added to Lis '
possessions , and Lis neigLbors called |
lim a "thrifty" man. i
All his investments weregced ones , j
; ince none were made save with the '
, Tiew of converting everything into ,
: asli at a moment's notice if neces- j
: ary , and Robert Myron became a
vealtliy man. As is usual , witL
vealtL came tlie respect of Lis neigL-
> ors , who , to show their appreciation
) f money , elected him to the office of
: ounty judge.
During the year 1870 the inhabit-
mts of Tower Hill witnessed the de
duction of another steamer by fire
it almost the exact place where the
? idal Wave went down. Among
hose men who labored to save life
tone was more activethan Robert
fyron , and his house was convertec
ato a hospital for the reception of
MMH MMMMMMHMHMkiflMliaillHIl
*
those who were injured , but saved
from death.
Mrs. Myron was as earnest in her
efforts to comfort tho distressed peo-
as was her husband , and her la-
Ele
or was signally rewarded by finding
among the unfortunate ones whom
she was nursing her father , whom she
she had not heard from since the day
she left his home to found another
with the man she loved above all oth
ers. ' The daughters heart was made
still more glad when the old gentle
man told her and her husband that
he had been searching for them
several months in the hope of induc
ing them to return to his lonely
home , or allow him to remain with
them.
Then he told a strange story , and
one which lifted a load that had
grown heavier with each succeeding
year from his son-in-laws heart.
In 18G1 , Mrs. Myron's aunt had
died , bequeating to her niece the sum
of five thousand dollars. Judge
Berry , half relenting that he had not
looked with favor upon his daughter's
marriage , had sent his clerk to carry
to her this legacy. The messenger
had written to his employer from
St. Cloud in 18G2 , stating that he
had traced Mr. and Mrs. Myron to
that place , but from there they had
gone , as he had reason to believe , to
Cape Girardeau , wliicli place he was
about to start for in the steamer
Tidale Wave. From that time Mr.
Berry had never heard from his clerk ,
and he believed ho had lost his life
when the stealner was burned.
As the old gentleman finished his
story , the husband and wife gazed
at each other with an almost despair
ing hope in theiroyes.anditwas only
Avith the greatest difficulty Judge
Myron could ask the question , "What
was the man's name ? "
"Henry Parker. "
The load was lifted for evermore ;
the money which they believed was
another's belonged rightfully to them :
the investments made with a view to
being able to restore the principal at
any time insured tlieir own prosper
ity , and by purloining their own from
the dead they had honestly relieved
themselves from the thraldom of
poverty.

Yellow Fever Experiences.
From the New York Commci eial Traveler.
"How is the fever usually treated ? "
It isn't generally treated in any par
ticular way. Every time it breaks
out tlie doctors Lave to experiment ,
under guidance of former experiences ,
of course , until tLey find out what
treatment is best , for what answers
well in one outbreak frequently won't
answer at all well in another. Some
times , as in Savaunah the last time
the fever was there , dry quinine on the
t ongue seems to answer best. Some
times otlier means are more effective.
The champagne treatment is perhaps
more generally effective than any
other , but there is scarcelvencuu.il of
tliat costly medicine at command to
supply the need in an epidemic. The
late Dr. Gabriel Disosway Ayres , of
Brooklyn , once told me that on one
occasion he was in a British West In
dia town when the fever was present
there. Ho was traveling with a
friend and the two remained a week
on the island. One evening they
dined with a physician there , and
next morning learned that he had
died during the night with the fever.
"I thought it time for men who had
no business there to get away , " said
Dr. Ayres , "and wo took ship the
next day far Havana. In tlie niglit
my friend was seized with the fever ,
and I treated him with champagne
without saying anything about it to
alarm the passengers. Wlien ho was
out of danger I told the captainwho
at once and very impressively said :
'If you let anybody in Havana know
that you poured champagne into a
man with yellow fever they 'll hang
you ? ' " The doctor inferred that the
champagne treatment , though a fa
vorite one with British physicians ,
was at that time unknown among
the Spanish. Curiously enough , I
believe any other form of alcoholic
stimulation in j'ellow fever kills witL
sometliing of tlie precision of a Rem
ington rifle , and , of course , men wlio
are Larddrinkers are doomed if they
once get yellow fever. For that mat
ter such men are doomed whenever
they get any virulent disease , and
upon reflection I may say they are
doomed anyhow.
A Narrow Escape.
A few days ago a party of ladies
from the East were doing Yellow
stone Park , and in the course of
their rambles they strolled in the
vicinity of the crater of the geyser ,
and one daring spirit essayed to
penetrate the mysteries of a spot
where frequent , but fruitless efforts
have been made to find the bottom.
She passed in safety along a narrow
ridge which divides a pool of boiling-
water , and peered into the depths of
the dangerous crater a few feet dis
tant. Faithful geyser derives its
name from the fact that every 55
minutes there is a discharge from its
depths which replenishes the pool
near which the venturesome tourist
stood. Premonitory SA-mptoms of
an eruption are conveyed by a hiss
ing sound as of escaping steam , and
the day in question the tourists had
been frequently notified of this fact.
* * * Suddenly there Avas the
usual sign given by Faithful geyser
Df its intentions , and the lady tourist ,
startled by the sound , shrieked and
fell backward into the pool of hot
iA-ater. About ten feet distant the
irater ya\A'ned in front of her , and in
iier frantic efforts she was rapidly
Jrifting toward the bottomless pit.
it this juncture Private Coyle
sravely sprang into the boiling
vater to the rescue of the unfortun
ate victim of her curiosity , and ,
mmindful of the fact that he was
jeingbadly scalded , succeeded in sav-
ng the tourist and himself.

I found that in San Francisco thoro
are avoiuoii ami young girls who aro
slaves. They aro purchased in China
l)3r men who nmko a specialty of this
trade and aro shipped to 'Frisco to othor
Chinese , who purchase them thero.
These Avomon arc compelled to lead a
life of shame as slaves , and they have
no protection whatever from tho polico
unless they voluntarily mako a com
plaint. In that case , of course , the po
lice freo them , and give them tho pro
tection they demand , but the authori
ties never interfere in these cases unless
they have been appealed to for help.
On this question I gathered some statis
tics and they may bo of interest : These
women and girld , I am told , aro kid
napped in China , imported to this conn-
try , sold in tho secret slavo markets of
San Francisco and doomed to a slavery
which passes description. 'The girls are
sold and employed as bond sen'ants in
tho Chinese families. There aro 1,800
women and girls , of Avhom probably 100
aro bound footed Avomen , and aro tho
Avives of merchants and rich men. From
000 to 700 aro married according to tho
Chinese custom and tho others aro mem
bers or tho harems , if I could so call
them , of tho rich Chinese. Then there
are probably about 800 slave girls and
Avomen avIio aro forced into a lifo of
shame and misery. $

The Mexican policeman is usually
dressed all in Avhite Avith a blue cap , and
instead of an ugly club he carries a bright
saber. He does not Avalk about at
niglit from block to block , seeing that
all is secure , as our policemen are sup
posed to do , but after a certain hour of
the night he seats himself flat upon tho
pavement at a street corner , and Avith
his saber drawn and his lantern between
his knees , patiently waits the Mexican
cry of "Watch , " AAhich notifies him
AAhenho is needed. The Mexican po
liceman is therefore a harmless , good-

The best good of society cannot be
attained unless each man learns to stand
alone. Tn the one matter of the A'ote ,
all the interests of the country demand
that every citizen use his OAvn intelli
gence and his own conscience in deter
mining Avhat name he shall drop into
the ballot box. Using all the light that
he can gain from eA'ery source , it must
at last come to his own decision and his
own act , if tlie principles of our govern
ment are to be upheld. After all the
questioning and answering , the reading
and listening he can do , he may well
pause a little and commune with his
own heart , before he discharge so seri
ous an obligation. So every circle of
people met together for any object Avill
prosper largely in proportion to the in
dividuality AAhich each member of it
| gains in his solitary hours. He must
, be a man among men , and true man-
I hood can never be fully developed A\ith-
out the influences of society and soli
tude , internetiug and mutually benefit-
iiig each other.

An unscrupulous poultry fancier is a bad

W. L. Douglas , tho best known shoo
manufacturer in tho world , was born at
Plymouth , Mass. , Augiiht 2'J , IS l. > . When
he " was seven years old he was bound out
to learn the thoemaking trade. His early
life was a hard one , but he did not com
plain. IIo had an ambition to bu master
of his trade. IIo worked hard and learned
all ho could. Having saved a littlo money
by hard work at the bench he began to
manufacture shoes at Brockton , Mass. ,
July G , 1S7G. His knowledge of the busi
ness gavo him a great advantage over his
competitors. IIo worked hard and saved
bin money. IHhbusiness began to increase
and in Mnj1SS3 , his advertisement firHt
appeared in tho papers , advertising W. L.
Douglas' $ .l shoe. HohaB since added bey-
oral other kinds , which he describe * in his
adertisement that appears in this paper
from time to time. It is a fact known by
those who woar his shoes * that he gives
more value for tho money than any other
nhoe manufacturer in this couutry. W. L.
Douglas'factory is12G feet long , .HO ' feot
wide , and U stories high. II employs . ' { 00
workmen with a pay roll of $1,000 per
w.-ok. His sales are 1,800 pairs per clay.
Hi * business is iucieuMiig very rapidly ami
will reach over ? 1,000,000 this year. He
pa\s tho highest wages paid in tho city ,
and is highly regarded by those who work
for him. If you are in want of a pair of
shoes it will pay you to go to your deah-r
and examine a pair befoio you buy any
other make. There ione tlrng certain ,
you will find his hIiocs tho best value for
the juice , and free Troiii hhodily. \ \ . 1 > .
