Thousands of persons have been cured
of piles by using DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve. It'heals promptly and cures ec

During the summer of 1891 , Mr. Chas.
P. Johnson , a well known attorne } ' of
Louisville , Ky. , had a very severe attack
of summer complaint. Quite a number
of different remedies were tried , but
failed to afford any relief. A friend who
kuew what was needed procured him a
bottle of Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy , which quickly
cured him and he thinks , saved his life.
He says that there has not been a day
since that time that he has not had this
remedy in his household. He speaks of
it in the highest praise and takes much
pleasure in recommending it whenever
an opportunity is offered. For sale by

HE MET HIS MATCH : '
WHY BULLY BRONSTON OF WYOMING
WILL NEVER BOX AGAIN.
The Champion I'uclllst of the Hunting
Grounds Had Downed Many Kinda of
High Officials , but Never Before Tac
kled a Vounc Conanl.
There was a hardy fellow named
Bronstoii who lived in a shack on a desert -
ort claim just at the edge of the Wyo
ming hunting grounds who had a repu
tation for being about as handy with
his fists as the next comer. Bronston
had an especial dislike for the "dude"
hunters , and it was his boast that in a
fair encounter he could best anything
weariug good clothes and carrying 57
pounds of variegated ammunition. He
was kept fairly busy.
The hunting grounds , despite the
presence of Bronstou , became more pop
ular year after year , until finally he had
to be a little more select in his opera
tions , as there were altogether too many
visitors to allow him time to do the
whole lot justice. He finally announced
that in future he was going to whip no
body under the rank of colonel in mili
tary life and nobody who in civil life
wasn't at least a mayor of a big town era
a president of a railroad. By following
j this plan he succeeded in filling his time
! comfortably without overworking him
self. He was uniformly successful until
one day a party stopped at his ranch
and introduced themselves "as eastern
tourists bent outdoing some elk exter
mination. ' They asked if they might
stop overnight with him.
j "Gentlemen , " said Bronston , "do it
happen that they's a giuiral among
you ? "
No , there didn't happen to be.
"A judge , iQebbe , or a vice presi
dent ? "
There was not. It was an unofficial
party. The only man with anything approaching
preaching an official designation was a
young fellow who was Portuguese consul -
sul in a seaport town down east. Ho
wasn't a native of Portugal himself
just a plain American citizen , who had
been appointed to the place because he
had the time to attend to the few duties.
"Coucemiu a consul , " said Bronstou
' reflectively , "I don't know. I never
! heard of sich. Doubtless , mebbe , it's a
i responsible an honorable job. "
1 Ho was answered that it was.
| "Well , " he suggested , "mobbo ho'll
do. Gome out here in the yard , geutle-
i men , an the exercises will begin. "
| They had no idea what was coming ,
| but Broustou explained briefly , and the
young man seemed perfectly willing to
take his part in the melee , though the
others , terrified , tried their best to
!
argue Broustou out of it. The desert
claim settler made a rush at his victim
and found he wasn't there. Ho had care
fully stepped aside , and as the mountain
fighter thundered past him the consul
hit him on the ear. Then the Portuguese
representative followed up his advan
tage , and leaping upon the prostrate
Broustou battered his head against the
ground until ho had worn a hole in the
hard soil. He picked Brouston up and
threw him out into the road , and then
went out and threw him back again.
The Portuguese consul , it may be re
marked , had spent the better part of his
life learning how to box and wrestle ,
and this was his first opportunity to let
himself out.
In an hour Bronston came back"to life.
He wearily looked about him and said ,
"Gentlemen , did a dozen or two su
preme court judges sneak up while I
wau't lookin an tackle me ? " He was
told that no such thing had happened.
"P'r'aps it was a state legislator ? "
No , it was just a youtig man who was
a Portuguese consul.
He drew a sad sigh. "I wouldn't 'a'
believed it , " he said. "I had more con
fidence in the institutions of this land
of freedom of ouru. To think that a man
who has licked governors an state 'tor-
neys an sheriffs an congressmen should
bo whooped till he's half dead by a fur-
riuer that can't talk the langwidge of
his own furrin country ! Gentlemen ,
they ain't no use beiu patriotic no
more. The republican form of gov'meut
is crumbliu an she'sgoin to fall. Dog it
all , I beat the daylights out of a reg'lar
United States senator wunst , an here I
am on the broad of my back with two
ribs broke by a emissary of despotism !
The game's over , an the U. S. of Amer-
icky ain't got a chip to cash in. "
The speaker of the house of representa
tives went up that way to hunt after-
.ward , but when somebody .suggested to
the desert claimant that hero was an ex
cellent chance to give greatness a fitting
pugilistic reception he said it was no
use. He would very likely whip the
statesman , but what would bo the good ?
Since the young men of the country had
got to prostituting their great talents to
the service of foreign dynasties ho felt
that the country had gone to the dogs
and that there would bo no substantial
joy even in blacking the eye of the presi
dent himself. Chicago Record.

The Toronto Saturday Night tells the
following story of Dean Vaughau. He
had been preparing some colored clergy
men for mission work and had invited
them to dine with him in the Temple.
On that day Mrs. Vanghau waited an
hour in the drawing room for her guests ,
but none came. At last she mentioned
to the butler that it was odd that the
invited guests did not appear.
"Yes , ma'am , " ho replied , "and
what's odder still I've done nothing all
the evening but turn Christy minstrels
away from the door. "

An Insult to the Press. i
It seeins to be a difficult idea to get j } j
out of the heads of many people that I d
newspapers can be run on the free lunch ] n
plan. All sorts of unreasonable requests i
pt
and demands are daily made on the j C :
newspapers , without money and without
price , that they would not dream of ask
ing of any other business institution. ° .
For instance , who would think of asking ! Se
the grocer for a dollar's worth of sugar j
for nothing , or a dry-goods man for a [ n
dress pattern , or a jeweler for a ring , era :
a banker for a loan of $10 without interest - L
est or principal ? Xo one with honest
intentions. Why should the case be i
different with the newspaperman , whose
columns and space are his merchandise
in stock ? THE TRIBUNE resents this
cheap-John , ten-ceiit-connter , to-fill-up-
space idea of the press.
