to prevent the defilement of Texas

into Mexico. Then down stream foi
half a ti'iie to a smooth cove undci
the JtOO foot perpendicular bluffs that
guard the river on either hank. Then
a canvas fence had been hung around
the ring in wli cii tl e light took place
The contest itself was brief, lastwu
a little over a minute, when Kitzsiin
inons struck Maher on the point of
the jaw, knocking liiin flat and end
ing the contest. The party then re
turned. There were no kinctoscopi
pictures of the light taken, becaust
the machine got smashed in some de
tail while being hauled over tin
rocks."

For Scrofula.
"Since childhood, I have been
afflicted with scrofulous boils and
sores, which caused me terrible
suffering. Physicians were unable
to help me, and I only grew worse
under their care.
At length, 1 began
to take
AYER'S
Snrsnparilla, and
t very soon grew bet-
ter. After using
^ half a dozen bottles
i" 1 was completely
cured, so that I have not had aboil
or pimple on any part of my body
for the last twelve years. I can
cordially recommend Aycr's Sarsa-
parilla as the very best blood-purifier
in existence." — <J. T. Kkiniiakt,

Si rious friendship cannot be en
joyed except by persons of character
Th'i-:e who, themselves are nut light
u<I frivolous, choose friends from
whim or fancy or drift into the rela-
tion from chance proximity, or who
make passionate or extravagant de-
mands, forgetting the other duties of
life in a swift transport of feeling,
must forever remain ignorant of the
depth, the solemnity, and the saered-
ness of which fiietidship is capable.
Einersou says, ''Our friendships
hurry to short and poor conclusions
because we have made them a tex-
ture of wine and dreams instead of
the tough fibre of the human heart.
The laws of friendship are austere
and eternal—of one webb with Un-
laws of nature aud morals. Hut we
have aimed at a swift and pretty
benefit, to siiek a sudden sweetness.
We snatch at the slowest fruit in the
whole garden of Uod, which many
summers and many winters must
ripen. We ask our friend not sacred-
ly, but with a passion which would
appropriate them to ourselves."—

TESTED THE SOLDIER'S NERVE.
All liiuitlvut SIiuwIiik Mir IVrll* of Utu lu
tin, ,lun|;l<s of liiilln.
The blulY old major from tho
queen's army had listened attentive-
ly to tho ouiuptiro tales of his coir-
panions. Ho put n fresh charge of
triigriiiit tohneooin tho veteran pipo
that ho hud boon smoking, and the
three occupants of tho compartment
lapsed into expectant silonoe, wait-
ing to hear from him.
"Tho bravest man I have ever met
was not on tlio field <>f battle," ho be-
gan. "Ho was a soldier, but 1 know
little about his military record, an 1
yet when 1 say he was the bravest
man I over knew I think I know
what I am talking about. Wo wor.
campaigning in India, and for Homo
months tho command had simply
be. n idling time away. Wo were
all thoroughly tired of a life of rou-
tine military inactivity, and finally
a party of five of us secured a two
weeks' leave of absence, which we
proposed to spend in a bunt for big
game.
"One of our number was a senior
regimental officer, who hud been
through ten years' service in India,
lie had been the guiding spirit of
our expedition. Heated a few feet
away from him and to his loft was
a young junior company oiUcoi',
who had l ut recently joined the
command. Wo had been eating
fruit, which was of a kind that
bears a very peculiar scent. It is a
tradition that this native fruit lias a
strong attraction for several varie-
ties of venomous reptiles, which are
peculiar to that climate. I at least
am convinced that there is some-
thing more than tradition in it.
"As I have said, wo wore talking
of adventures when, in a moment of
silence, the bluff old regimental offi
cer, looking steadily at the young
lieutenant to his left, slowly said:
"'Do you think you could ke-p
your pros.iioo of mind under the
miist trying circumstances, when
your life depended upou your cool-
ness and courage?'
"Dead silence followed the col■
nol's question, and the young 1-
eor. looking quizzically at Ins inter-
rogator, replied:
" 'Yes, I think I could.'
" 'Then the time has onmn when
you must be put to tho test. Move
not a muscle until I tell you, or you
are a dead man.'
"Then the bronzed old warrior
slowly drew his pistol from his hol-
ster, and, taking deliberate aim, In
fired a shot at the very feet of the
man to whom ho had addressed his
ominous question. For tlie space of a
second wo all sat like statues; then
the colonel, in a tone of relief, ex-
claimed :
"'It's all ri,' ht now, boys. I've
killed it.'
"We were all on our feet in an in-
stant, eager to know what danc r
bad threatened our young comrade.
At his feet lay tho coiling, squirm-
ing body of a huge cobra, tho most
venomous reptile that haunts the
jungles of India. I think tho man
who calmly faced that danger was
the bravest man I've ever met," said
the major, and no ono dissented.—
New Y'ork Mercury.
Kronmiiio Yulim of illnN.
Tho economic value of birds is un
told. This fact might be placed be.
yond dispute if it were possible to
prepare two tables—one showing
how many wireworms it would
take to destroy a mile of turnips,
how many grubs to ravage the
wheat harvests of a dozen farms,
how many insects to strip the leafy
blades of a forest bare, how many
to spoil the fruits of wide orchards,
the other recording the fact that
these very numbers of insects are
oaten by a few humble birds in the
courso of tho year. That t he result
would be conclusive evidence of the
birds' value may be safely foretold
by a glance at a few facts which
have already been brought to bear
upon the question.
in the spring, when thoroaroclam-
orous young birds in tho nest, the
house sparrow returns every three
or four minutes, each time bearing
spoils in the shape of insect food.
Calculated at its lowest possible val-
ue— that is, allowing only one insect
to each journey—this thankless task
represents tens of thousands of rap
turod insnots as tho work of one pair
of birds in one month. Swift fliers
like the swallow that hawk for food
in the air may rank higher. They
slay hundreds of thousands.—Fort-
nightly Ui view.
Mfty lit* Triii* of lto«toii Woman.
A south end woman who was duo
at home at a certain hour, but
couldn't possibly get there because
she became stalled in an electric car
blockade on Treinont street, waited
and waited until patience ceased to
be a virtuo or even half way com-
mendable. She arose and stalked
from tho car with kindling eye and
swelling heart, said by poets to be
evidences of anger, but paused at
the platform long etv.ugh to offer
the conductor a nickel. "Why.
madam," said tho conductor, "you
havo already paid your fare."
"1 kno\ it," said tho south end
woman, "nut I've been here so long
1 thought i owed you rent. "—Huston
Traveller.
