PRINTING is the ambassador of trade. It is sent out to acquaint your customers with your business. It goes where you cannot be; it tells the story you would have told had you been able to go in its stead; it is the means by which you hope to attract attention to your house: to interest the public and secure patronage, if at all possible. In order to achieve these results and secure adequeat returns for the money invested, it is vitally essential that your printed literature have qualities. Ordinaryprinting is forgetable prilling. Distinctive printing impresses itself upon the mind and brings results. 3he Courier (Printern, IBylBENjED Doane, Jasper, Indiana.

Presence of Mind In the Fac of

Terrible Danger.

One of the strangest inci

Ihe sepov rebellion is told

Ham l orbeii Mitchell in his "Kein

inisrenrc of the Great .Mutiny." Mr. Mtt.'iell, who was sergeant of a high hi .i iv'iment. had the misfortune ! : a battle to lose the grcut :t wiiich every soldier carried l in what was known as a "Cnun:'n roll" and strapped to the shouiiicrs in such a manner that it eroded the breast: Manv a man owed his life to the

fact that bullets became spont in passing through these rolls. It happened that in the heat of the light my roll was cut right through whero the two ends were fastened together by the stroke of a keen edged tulwar, which was intended to cut me. As the day was warm, I was rather glad to get rid of it, but by 10 1 o'clock at night there was a difference in temperature, and when I i was re':eved from patrol duty and j wanted to lie down to sleep I felt I the Co1'!, wet grass anything but comfor ;ble. for a kilt is not the most suitable article of dress on a 'cold November night in upper In- ; dia. ! My company was encamped in and about the tomb of the first king ; of Omlh. A large inclosure surrounded the building of the tomb itself, and on the insido of this jwere small rooms built for the accommodation of pilgrims. When I 'entered the inclosure I noticed thee apartments and asked permis-

Eion to sloop in one ot tnom, but was refused. I had to make the best of my position, but was too uncomfortable to sleep. It struck me that pome of tho senovs micht havo dronnod their

ith this hrpe I went into one of the rooms where a lamp was burning, took it off the shelf and walked to the door of the great domed mosque or tomb.

I I peered into the dark, but could isee nothing, so I advanced slowly,

I holding the lamp over my head,

looking cautiously around until I

was in the center of the great vault, where mv progress was obstructed

by a big black heap about four or

live leet high, which lelt to my feet like loose sand. I lowered my lamp and discovered I was standing ankle deep in loose gunpowder. About forty hundredweight of it lay under my nose, and a hasty glance around showed me twenty or thirty barrels of the Bame substance, over a hundred eight-inch shells, all loaded and withfuses fixed, and a profusion of spare fuses and slow matches lying about.

j I took in my danger at a glance. .There I was, up to my knees nearly w gunpowder, with a naked lighi j in my hand. My hair literally stood

on end, and my knees knocked together. Cold perspiration broke out all over me. I had neither cloth nor handkerchief in my pocket with which to extinguish my light, and the next moment might be my last, for the overhanging wick already threatened to send the smoldering red top to my feet, with consequences too dreadful to .con

template. Quick as thought I put ray left 'hand under the down dropping

flame and, clasping it firmly, slowly turned to the door. Fear so overcame all other sensation that I felt no pain of the burn until I was outside. Then it was sharp enough. I poured the oil from the lamp into my burned hand. Then I knelt down and thanked God. Next I staggered to Captain Dawson and told him. lie did not believe me and told me I had waked up from a dream. I showed him the powder still sticking on my wet feet. He instantly roused the" sleeping men and quenched every spark of fire on the premises. Tfca Terrllilc Infnnt.

Ilia father had lectured him before Kolfiß away on 'his susceptibility i and told him that I was empowered to forbid his attentions to any woman, j Alee not only fulled to trust the mutter to me, but told the woman who was trying to snare him of my i harfje. Slio was siunrt enough to laep aloof from me, aud I did not discover her or her object till I was Informed of both bj the housekeeper. I warned the housekeeper not to divulge the fact that 1 knew of what was going on. If I could save the boy I would put his futher under obligations. Mr. Kirk hud great political InlUiein-f Alee wished the lady to wIm my good oplulcn. She. supposing that I knownothing of their affair, consented, though reluctantly. I was introduced to Miss Martha Coniiiwund. aged twenty-eight, hnpcctiulous. passably good Jooklng and of a common family. I called on her with Alee and during the call manifested a friendliness that disarmed both. But while extending the olive branch I was sharpening the

sword. I suggested that Miss Colling'

And another girl to make up a set w ith

them myself. I had In mind Miss Gladys Iloyk. a young lady who had the faculty of nmking the most rasplug remarks with the most kindly pretended Intentions. Knowing that there Is nothing which will turn a man from a woman quicker than a feminine tight. I hoped to use Miss Ilojle for the pur pose of drawing out whatever of temper Miss ColUngwofd might possess und intended that Alee should witness the scrimmage. We secured Miss Iloyle. and I chose her for my partner. Miss Collingwood opened the g-inie. serving to me. I Bent the ball Imck. aud she returned It.

There was an ominous tbish from Miss Collingwood. She made no reply, and the gnme went on. My own

fortune continued to favor inc. Iloyle In volleying close to the

The latter dropped her racket and caught a trickling stream of blood hi her handkerchief. j "You did that on purpose," sho cried,) casting a Hashing glance - at Mis Iloyle. i "You flatter me. If I could hit n mark like that I'd enter for a chain-1 plonshlp," replied Miss Iloyle. Mltis Collingwood was getting ready, for a rejoinder when I added to her,

rioyie put in, "with that nose. It'll be all the colors of the rainbow tomorrow. My advice Is raw beef." "Some people are offensive with their advice," snapped the sufferer. Pleasure had gone out of the game j for Alec. lie proposed to stop playing, j Miss Collingwood started for the house to put cold wnter on her nose. Alec,!

walked away Miss Collingwood turned and darted a llcry iwark. I saw her

i home, adding fuel to the ilanie by telling her that I thought Miss Iloyle had sent the bail against her nose on pur- ' pose and was trying to catch Alec.

I supposed that I had only made n beglnarng, but I was mistaken. When Alec and I met again he confessed to me that there had been an affair between him and Miss Collingwood (at which I expressed gpit surprise), but iiat It was ended. I islndly offered to give him my advice as to the bot method of dropping it. The Illusion had passed out of him. and nothing could bring It back. When Mr. Kirk returned from Enrope I made no mention of his non's escape, but lie learned of It aud asked me about lt.
