TWO FAMOUS RIDERS STRIKING FEATS OF ENDURANCE IN THE PIONEER DAYS OF THE WEST. Aubrey's Ride Was the Greatest Physical Achievement Ever Accomplished In This Country—Frontiersman Jim Moore's Hard Ride. The greatest physical achievement ever accomplished in this country was the ride of F. X. Aubrey from the plaza of Santa Fe, N. M., to the Public square at Independence, Mo., a distance of nearly 800 miles, through a country inhabited by warlike Indians, a large part of which was then a sandy desert. It was about the year 1851 that Aubrey gave his wonderful test of human endurance, before which all other attempts of the kind pale into insignificance. He was a short, heavy set man, 38 years of age, in the prime of manhood and strength. His business for ten years as a Santa Fe trader had made him perfectly familiar with the trail and all the stopping places. He was a perfect horseman, and, although there were great riders in those days, none of them cared to dispute the palm with Aubrey. On a wager of $1,000 he undertook to ride alone from Santa Fe to Independence inside of six days. It was without a thought of fear that he undertook the terrible feat. It was to be the supreme effort of his life, and he sent half a dozen of the swiftest horses ahead, to be stationed at different points for use in the ride. He left Santa Fe in a sweeping gallop, and that was the pace kept up during nearly every hour of the time until he fell fainting from his foam covered horse in the square at Independence. No man could keep up with the rider, and he would have killed every horse in the west rather than have failed in the undertaking. It took him just 5 days and 19 hours to perform the feat, and it cost the lives of several of his best horses. After being carried into a room in the old hotel at Independence Aubrey lay for 48 hours in a dead stupor before he came to his senses. He would never have recovered from the shock had it not been for his wonderful constitution. The feat was unanimously regarded by western men as the greatest exhibition of strength and endurance ever known on the plains. The ride of Jim Moore, a noted frontiersman of the pioneer days, is also worthy of mention. Moore was a man while lying at headquarters at Oreabuk, awaiting the opening of the campaign in 1877. I was walking one day with the prince, when a boy of 16 or 18 approached us, cap in hand. "Now," said the prince, "I'll show you an interesting thing. This boy is the last of a good family. His father and brothers were all killed in the last battle, and I ordered him to go home and stay with his mother and sisters, that the family might not become extinct." The boy drew near and stopped before us, his head down, his cap in hand. "What do you want?" asked the prince. "I want to go back to my battallon." "But," said the prince, "you are the last of your line, and I cannot allow a good family to be lost. You must go home and take care of your mother." The boy began to cry bitterly. "Will you go home quietly and stay there," said the prince, "or will you take a fogging and be allowed to night?" The boy thought for a moment. A fogging he knew well, is the deepest disgrace that can befall a Montenegrin. "Well," he broke out, "since it isn't for stealing. I'll be fogged." "No," said the prince, "you must go home." Then the boy broke down utterly. "But," he cried, "I want to avenge my father and brothers!" He went away still crying, and the prince said: "In spite of all this he will be in the next battle." CHINESE PROVERBS. Dig a well before you are thirsty. The ripest fruit will not fall into your mouth. Great wealth means destiny. Moderate wealth means industry. The pleasure of doing good is the only one which does not wear out. Water does not remain on the mountain nor vengeance in a great mind. To nourish the heart there is nothing better than to make the desires few. When life comes, it cannot be declined. When it goes, it cannot be detained. Good governments get the people's wealth, while good instructions get their hearts. Those who labor with their minds govern others. Those who labor with their strength are governed by others. A small bag cannot be made to contain what is large. A short rope cannot be used to draw water from a deep well. What are Humans? They are vitiated or morbid fluids ing the veins and affecting them. They are commonly due to defection but are sometimes inherited. How do they manifest themselves? In many forms of cutaneous salt rheum or eczema, pimples arise and in weakness, languor, generalized. How are they expelled? By Hood's Sarsaparas which also builds up the system suffered from them. It is the best medicine for all. A Fish That Gives Pain The well known brown called sepia is obtained from armed octopus found principally Mediterranean and more especially head of the Adriatic sea, is caught by the natives for food. The sepa is contained in fish is really the black fluid of water have all read as being discharecture creature to cover its escape naturalists say that the fluid is fish, which becomes more credible we know that this is the sepia. The pigment is really a powder dissolves in water; its strength estimated by the fact that it weighs 1,000 times its own bulk. Octopus has been killed, the bag is removed and dried to putrefaction. The sepla is treated ammonia or caustic soda, washed dried. It is one of the most dainties fierce rays of the sun, and surface can be obtained easily than with most paints has been obtained from a fossil fish thousands of years old to be quite good for paint. The Power of Superstition "I wish I wasn't superstitious a well known young man." "I taken off." "Have what taken off?" "Why, this great big mole nose." "What are you afraid of after bleeding to death?" "No, no; it's just bad luck mole taken off. It's worse than a black cat across your path to have a hooting owl light roof." "I don't know why it is bad my black mammy used to saunter you near." After being carried into a room in the old hotel at Independence Aubrey lay for 48 hours in a dead stupor before he came to his senses. He would never have recovered from the shock had it not been for his wonderful constitution. The feat was unanimously regarded by western men as the greatest exhibition of strength and endurance ever known on the plains. The ride of Jim Moore, a noted frontiersman of the pioneer days, is also worthy of mention. Moore was a man of almost perfect physique. In fact, by military standards he was a model. He weighed 160 pounds, stood 5 feet 10 inches, straight as an arrow, with good neck well set on his shoulders, small waist, but good loins, and had the limbs of a thoroughbred. No finer looking man physically ever rode a broncho than Jim Moore. He could run like an Indian, was as active as a panther, the best natured man in the world, but as courageous as a lion. In the early sixties Moore was a pony express rider. His route was from Midway station, half way between Fort Kearney and Cottonwood Springs, to Julesburg, a distance of 140 miles. Moore rode the round trip of 280 miles once a week. The stations were from 10 to 14 miles apart, and a fresh horse of Spanish blood was obtained at each station. There was little delay in these changes of horses, as the rider gave the "coyote yell" half a mile away, and day or night, the station men had the pony ready, so that the rider had only to dismount from one horse and mount the other, and with a dig of the spurs he was on a run again. This ride of 140 miles usually was made in 12 hours. On each route there were two express riders, one going each way. As easy as it may seem to some for a man to be stride fresh horse after horse for 140 miles, there were few men able to stand up to it. Upon the occasion of which I am to speak Moore's route partner had been miling, and Moore was anticipating and dreading that he might have to double the route. In this anticipation he realized that there is a time limit to endurance, and therefore he gave the bronchos a little more of the steel than usual and made the trip to Julesburg in 11 hours. Arriving at Julesburg, he had his fears confirmed. His partner was in bed. He had hoped that he might have a few hours for rest, but before he had time to dismount and stretch his cramped and tired muscles the "coyote yell" of the east going rider was heard. He drank some cold coffee, filled his pocket with cold meat and was in the saddle again for another 140 mile ride. In order to be able to live the route out he sent them for all there was in them, with the result that he arrived at Midway, after having ridden 280 miles, in 22 hours from the time he had left there. Ben Holiday gave him a gold watch and a certificate of his remarkable performance. Many of the old frontiersmen now living knew Moore knew of his 280 mile ride in 22 hours and have seen the watch and certificate—Spirit of the Times. Cheerful inducements. To nourish the heart there is nothing better than to make the desires few. When life comes, it cannot be declined. When it goes, it cannot be detained. Good governments get the people's wealth while good instructions get their hearts. Those who labor with their minds govern others. Those who labor with their strength are governed by others. A small bag cannot be made to contain what is large. A short rope cannot be used to draw water from a deep well. Let every man sweep the snow from before his own door and not busy himself about the frost of his neighbor's tiles. Express Elevators. To the man who is accustomed to buildings where staircases are still useful as well as ornamental the speed of the "express" elevators in New York skyscrapers is disturbing. Recently an "up state" man, who was being shown about the city by a friend, was taken at last up to the sixteenth story of one of the high buildings. He went up in a "local" elevator, at moderate speed, but even that caused him to suffer many qualms before he stepped out on the firm landing. In coming down to street level again they took an "express." With one switch of the handle and a few sparks from the controlling apparatus they were deposited on the ground floor. The city man asked the other if "that was quick enough" for him. "Quick enough!" he exclaimed. "Why, I might just as well have jumped."—New York Post. A Ghostly Satellite, Under certain conditions there may be seen in the night sky, exactly opposite to the place where the sun may then be, a faint light, rounded in outline, to which the name "gegenschlen" has been given. It has always been a mystery to astronomers, but Professor Pickering suggested that it may be a cemetery or meteoric satellite of the earth. He thinks it may be composed of a cloud of meteors 1,000,000 miles from the earth and revolving around it in a period of just one solar year, so that the sun and the ghostly satellite are always on opposite sides of the earth. A City of Boiling Springs. Carlsbad has been humorously described as being built on the lid of a boiling kettle, which is almost literally true, as it stands on a crust of comparative thinness through which rise several mineral springs. The most abundant and most used of these springs is the Sprudel, which charges 130,000 gallons a day of various temperatures. The water of the hot springs has been famous for more than a century as a "eure" for various complaints, and the town can nearly always boost its royal visitors during the season from May 1 to Sept. 20.

An "apple pie bed" is one in which the sheets are so folded that a person cannot get his legs down, the foot end of the sheet being brought up to the head end of the bed. This "head to foot" arrangement being implied, the expression may have sprung from: corruption of cap-a-pled, or cap-a-plee, as it is frequently written. Court Logic.

Do you have a feeling of unrest in the stomach, belchings, bitter risings? These are by the symptoms of the disease. The worst thing which causes for the stomach in such a case some tablets or powder which gives temporary relief from it. The best thing to do is to begin of the disease by beginning Dr. Piercea Golden Medical. It cures diseases of the skin other organs of digestion and it makes the "weak" stomach and puts the body in a vigorous health. "I was troubled a long time torpid liver, and constipation," wrote E. Deal, of Ostwalt, Iredell Co., scarcely eat anything at all; wounded of pain similar like amputation; seemed as though I could not lift Dr. R. V. Pierce, stalking my son's few days received a kind letter of me to use Dr. Piercea Golden Medical. I took four bottles, and on Piercea Pellets, and now I can want and it does hurt me. I had bed a day since I took your 'G' Discovery; and I have not since tons of disease. I have not taken in twelve months." Dr. Piercea Pleasant Pelle stintation. What are Humors? They are vitiated or morbid fluids causing the veins and affecting the tissues. They are commonly due to defective digestion but are sometimes inherited. How do they manifest themselves? In many forms of cutaneous eruption, it rheum or eczema, pimples and boils, and in weakness, languor, general debility. How are they expelled? By Hood's Sarsaparilla which also builds up the system that has suffered from them. It is the best medicine for all humors. A Fish That Gives Paint. The well known brown pigment sepa is obtained from a ten armed octopus found principally in the Mediterranean and more especially at the head of the Adriatic sea, where it caught by the natives for food. The sepa is contained in a bag and really the black fluid of which we have all read as being discharged by the creature to cover its escape. Some naturalists say that the fluid is brownish, which becomes more credible when we know that this is the source of sepa. The pigment is really a powder which dissolves in water; its strength may be estimated by the fact that it will color 1000 times its own bulk. When the octopus has been killed, the sack or bag is removed and dried to prevent mutrafaction. The sepa is treated with ammonia or caustic soda, washed and dried. It is one of the most durable of palms, except when fully exposed to the fierce rays of the sun, and an even surface can be obtained with it more easily than with most palms. Sepa has been obtained from a fossil cuttlefish thousands of years old and found to be quite good for paint. The Power of Superstition. "I wish I wasn't superstitious," said a well known young man. "I'd have it taken off." "Have what taken off?" "Why, this great big mole on my nose." "What are you afraid of about it bleeding to death?" "No, no; it's just bad luck to have a mole taken off. It's worse than having a black cat across your path or even to have a hooting owl light on the proof." "I don't know why it is bad luck, but my black mammy used to say, 'Chile, don't yo' nebber let 'em try to take dat off your nose." PARTRIDGE EGGS. Said to Be More Nutritious Than the Birds Themselves. "Few persons are aware of the fact," said a well known physician, "but it is true, nevertheless, that the egg of the partridge is one of the most nutritious things in the world. They are not used for eating purposes except in very rare cases, and then it generally happens in remote rural districts. I have known negro families in the state of Louisiana during the laying season to live on the eggs of partridges. And they would flourish handsomely and grow fat on account of the rich properties of the eggs. "These eggs, of course, never find their way into the market because they are never taken from their nest except by such persons as I have mentioned, and they rob the nests, I suppose, because their principal food supply comes from this source. Quail meat comes pretty high in the market at all times, and the average man will find it more profitable to spare the eggs and wait for the birds when the hunting season rolls around. These men would pass 100 nests in one day without disturbing an egg. The sport of hunting the birds is an additional incentive. "The average negro does not care so much about this aspect of the case. He figures that the white man, having the best gun and the best dog, will beat him to the bird. So he goes after the egg. One partridge will lay anywhere from 12 to 20 eggs, and a nest is a good find. I know of many families in rural sections who feast on these eggs in the laying season. I have tried the egg myself as an experiment. I found it peculiarly rich. It has a good flavor, is very palatable and in fact is altogether a very fine thing to eat. Really I believe that the egg has more nutrition in it than the fully developed bird, but of course, as one of the men fond of the game in the field, I would like to discourage the robbery of the nests."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. HUSTLING FOR BUSINESS. More or Less of It Done In New York Lawyers' Offices. "Get a move on! That's the great modern motto," said a New York lawyer who has been practicing in the local courts for the last 25 years. "When I was admitted to the bar," he went on, "there was a great idea of the dignity of the profession. A lawyer would about as soon have paraded Broadway carrying a sandwich sign calling attention to his legal ability as BORROMEO THE NEW TOWN AT THE DOOR OF THE OIL FIELD BORROMEO is the newest town in Orange county; it is on Col. J. K. Tuffree's great ranch in Placentia. This ranch is the very gateway to Orange County's splendid oil field and affords a site second to none in the state for a manufacturing town of large size. Tues. Oct. 15 Is the date set for opening the town, and at that time auction sale will be made of a few 10 and 20-acre tracts and city lots. Already a big warehouse, from the site of which San Pedro harbor can be seen, is nearing completion. Streets and alleys of liberal dimensions will next be turned to. Then there is a pipe-line project for the conveyance of natural gas to the city for lighting and domestic purposes and a line for oil for steam purposes. A feature among the most important of all to the coming city is the abundance of both subterranean and ditch water available. Wells on the site produce the finest water in the county. One railroad has been surveyed, negotiations are in progress for another. Railroad companies wanting free right of way should apply to Col. Tuffree Before October The Power of Superstition. "I wish I wasn't superstitious," said a well known young man. "I'd have it taken off." "Have what taken off?" "Why, this great big mole on my nose." "What are you afraid of about it—bleeding to death?" "No, no; it's just bad luck to have a mole taken off. It's worse than having a black cat across your path or even to have a hooting owl light on the roof." "I don't know why it is bad luck, but my black mammy used to say, 'Chile, don't yo' nebber let 'em try to take dat mole off'n your nose." "What'll happen, Aunt Sarah, if I do? I used to ask her." "I dunno, chile. Some folks say as the place won't nebber get well, and some say as two mo'll come back. Don't nebber pester what the Lord has gin yo', or he might make it wo'se.'

When You Eat Do you have a feeling of undue fullness in the stomach, belchings, or sour or bitter rinsings? These are but a few of the symptoms of the diseased stomach. The worst thing which can be done for the stomach in such a case is to take some tablet or powder which merely gives temporary relief from discomfort. HUSTLING FOR BUSINESS. More or Less of It Done In New York Lawyers' Offices. "Get a move on! That's the great modern motto," said a New York lawyer who has been practicing in the local courts for the last 25 years. "When I was admitted to the bar," he went on, "there was a great idea of the dignity of the profession. A lawyer would about as soon have paraded Broadway carrying a sandwich sign calling attention to his legal ability as he would have thought of bustling in any other way for business. The thing to do was to rent an office and sit in it until somebody came and dug you out of the dust and spider webs and asked you to take a case. "The march of progress has changed all that. Every law firm in this city hustles for business. I don't mean that the big men of the firm chase around after clients. Of course they don't. But the firm does a lot of shrewd planning ahead. It schemes in a particular fashion of its own to widen its sphere of usefulness—to itself. "Of late years one of the expedients adopted has been the taking into the firm of young college graduates who can give a reasonable guarantee that they will bring business. College men know of this custom, and many of them shape their life at the university accordingly. They are after friends. They want to be popular. They want to be able to 'swing' as much of the future legal business of their fellow graduates as they can. "A chap who can bring business of that sort is taken in on a good salary even when he is the veriest tyro at law. He's expected, of course, to do what real work he can and to study hard. But the salary is for the pull he can exert over his fellows."—New York Sun. Animal Intelligence. In a circus in Paris a lion was given some meat shut up in a box with a lid to it, and the spectators watched to see whether the lion would open the lid or crack the box. He did the former much to the gratification of the company. In the London "Zoo" a large African elephant restores to his would be entertainers all the biscuits, whole or broken, which strike the bars and fall alike out of his reach and theirs in the space between the barrier and his cage. He points his trunk straight at the biscuits and blows them hard along the floor to the feet of the persons who have thrown them. He clearly knows what he is doing, because if the biscuit does not travel well he gives it a harder blow. Iron In the Sixteenth Century.

The amount of employment given may be conjectured from the statement of Richard Woodman, one of the Marlan martyrs burned at Lewes in 1557, that he had set a hundred persons to work Col. Tuffree Before October Snails as Window Cleaners. "An old colored woman selling snails," says the Philadelphia Record, "occasionally makes her appearance in South street, and sometimes she may also be found along Front street or Second street, up in the district that used to be known as the Northern Liberties. She carries an old basket in which the snails repose on freshly sprinkled leaves. These are not sold as food, but for cleaning outside of window panes—an old practice still in vogue in Kensington. The snail is dampened and placed upon the glass, where it at once moves around and devours all insects and foreign matter, leaving the pane as bright and clear as crystal. There are old established business places in Kensington where the upper windows, when cleaned at all, are always cleaned by snails. There is also a fine market for snails among the owners of aquariums, as they keep the glass bright." For Popover The value of a recipe like being accurately set downed. Harper's Magazine lowing directions for many fast delicacy called popover were imparted by the Cliff to a lady visiting in the town. "You take him one master of the kitchen, milk.

Time and again we see young men just arriving at their legal majority, or having barely passed it, suddenly stopped in a career full of promise. Disease has laid its hand on the lungs! He who never took a thought for himself must be careful now. He must be careful about food and drink, careful about his clothing and his exercise. No more late hours or night air. No more athletics. His lungs are "weak," He has an ominous cough. He has fallen away in flesh. When that cloud of consumption falls on a young man's life it darkens every-cine to everybody who runs off same, as it is a sure cure as most other patients far superior to all similar. GRATITUDE WILL, Gratitude, like murder, can't stifle it. To that there is so great amony to the remarkable by "Golden Medical Distestomy which no one testimony indisputable arrows it comes from people of color who have found a curse."

The best thing to do is to begin the cure of the disease by beginning the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It makes the "weak" stomach strong, and puts the body in a condition of vigorous health. "I was troubled a long time with dyspepsia, torpid liver, and constipation," writes Mrs. Julia H.
