SINGULAR SEQUEL OF AN AD^ VERTISEMENT FOR WIVES,

A QUEER MARRIAGE CEREMONY IN A MINING CAMP FOLLOWED BY 4 STILL MORE PECULIAR DI1 ,. yOROE PROCEEDINGS. ••.••'• •-•v. .1-V -vvr

This camp did not have a woman in it antil last fail and then two wornep came. No one knows where they belonged When at home, though at that time it was supposed they were what they said they were -Boston ladies. They arrived here in response to an advertisement in a San Francisco paper inserted by two miners who haa heard that was a good way to get a companion for life. The advertisement wa* drawn up with great care one night about a year ago, and after it bad been read to the entire camp and pronounced about the thing by everybody, it was forwarded to San Franciaoo with a ttve dollar bill and a request to the publisher that the advertisement be kept in the paper as long as the monej would pay fur it. So long a time elapsed between the sending of the letter and the first response to it that the two udvertiners, Hank Thumser and

Mohawk, became the objects of a good deal of ridicule. Mobawk had been born and raised down on the Iiarainie plains and Tbumser came west from Arkansas *0 long ago that be has forgotten the date himself. Mohawk's fertile brain was the one that originated the scheme of advertising for a wife. He •nee knew a man as Julesburg who knew another man who bad once done that very thing and secured an amiable helpmate from Boston, as he was informed. As Mohawk bad a vague sort ef an idea that all white women came from Boston, he was particular to state In his card for publication that be wanted a lady from that city.

1

The men in the camp had grown tirea •f chaffing the two advertisers about their fruitless experiment, and had almost forgotten all about it, when one day last September two gayly dressed young women rode into camp and inquired forThumser and Mohawk. The first named individual happened to be present when they appeared, and he readily acknowledged his Identity, but Mohawk, who was up the gulch, manifested great alarm wiien the messenger aent to call him informed him that his wife had arrived. At first he wanted to •limb right over the divide and make for British America. "It's no use," he said. "I never thought she'd come, and I'll just Blide now, and nobody'U know anything about it."

His weather-beaten face grew darker and more leathery than ever, and he made as if to

the miners came up, and with a hurrah and a whoop half led and half dragged ihlm back to the oamp. Every little while he would remonstrate, and entreaties wore of no avail. He had to

Once back in camp, he found that

Jhumser and several other men were entertaining the ladies in fine style. A •lunch had teen served and all were enjoying it hugely. As Thumser bad picked his wife, Mohawk bad to take the other one, and after be recovered from fcls embarrassment, which was painful at first, said he was well satisfied.

The women wero gayly dressed, of some-where near middle age, rather loudvoiced and hilarious in their ways, and well calculated to Impress the miners with their smartness. Both declared that they had come all tbe way from Boston, in response to the advertisement which they had chanced to see.

After many explanations and several yery excruciating efforts on the part of Mohawk to be agreeable, it was agreed that the weddings should take place. Then there arose a division as *o how the ceremony should be performed, which came very nearly ending In bloodshed but the dispute was finally settled by the women. It had been stated In the eourse of the controversy that old Tom Hughlitt had officiated as preacher at the burial of one of the men a tew months before, and as he came the nearest to being a preacher of anybody in the camp it was agreed that he shonld serve in that oapaclty.

Mohawk and Thumser slicked up a little, and old Tom ruminated awhile •n tbe nature of bis remarks. Finally when all was in readiness tbe two eouples stood up in front of Tom, and all the miners ranged themselves in a circle round about, it was anything but a funny proceeding. Tbe seriousness of the matter was recognised by all, more •specially by the bridegroom!" and the preacher. Old Tom assed the usual questions, and, when they were answered in the affirmative, he made them Join handa and swear: "Now swear." he said, "that you will b» husband ana wife, ana that you wont •ever go back on each other, so help yon •od."

They all with uplifted hands, swore. "That's something like It," Tom observed when this had been done. Then, looking aroand as if uncertain whether there was anything more to be said or not. he continued: "if there is ac like to say a few

there is anybody here what would words, now's the time."

No one had anything to say, and then Tom, who was beginning to get uneasy,

"I move we adjourn." This was carried with a whoop, and the oeremnny waa over. Things went well all winter until about a month ago, whea trouble broke out. The women •proved dutiful wives, and the civilising effects of their presence was plainly vis ible in tbe camp. Mohawk's wife in

Ctter

rticular was well liked. She waa the looking of the two, and in many ways was mare agreeable than tbe other. After their marriage she had brought in from the railroad considerable property ef her own, and her husband was gratited to discover that in marrying and settling down, as he termed it, he bad not only found an amiable wife, but one whoee small stock of worldly goods was suite an addition to his own.

About a month uo tbe two women disappeared very suddenly and mysteriously. At first no one wanted to say anything to the bereaved husbands, ana as they, too. held their peace, tbe*e seemed becomin ing waa committee should Investigate the matter. Wbea the delegation cameto look (or Thumser they round that be, too, was gone, but Mohawk waa found alote in his cabin. When first addressed he would say nothing, but at length the troth came out that Una women had stolen Mohawk's dust, evidently with the connivance of Thumaer, ana tut Uvaser had goo* with than, fto one knew where.

This discovery

WTAMMA the

Mohawk was subdued and almost broken hearted, for the dust taken represented the toil of months. Scouting parties were sent out and in the course of two QT three daya the fugitives were rounded np and brought into camp. Then there was a dispute as to the method of procedure, which was finally setti9d by Tom once more taking the lead. He, as tbe supreme ecclesiastical authority, assumed legal jurisdiction in the case and, as no one objected, he announced that he intended to divorce the couples then and there. Thumser and his wife objected moststrenously to this but old Tom commanded ailenc9 and called the first witness

From Mohawk he learned that his wife had brought him two frying pans, a dipper, a box of pepper, three pictures, a book, severs! yards of flannel and four dollars. All these he declared forfeited. Then placing Thumser on tbe stand be made him give up tbe sack of dust stolen from Mobawk and place bis own on the floor by Its side. From the women, who now were thoroughly frightened, be extracted confessions that they were impostors, who had come to camp on a lark that they had never seen the eastern states at all that tbey were notoriously of bad character, and that tbey bad enticed Thumaer away with tbem on the promise that they would steal Mohawk's money.

When all these things had been revealed, old Tom rose np with an oath a yard long, and announced that he bad divorced both couples and awarded Thumser's gold to Mobawk as damages. This was greeted with a

Nhout,

and, as the crowd

was about to disperse,' Tom added that tbe three culprits were under orders to make tracks away from the diggings as soon as possible. Thumaer made off, the women following. Mohawk sat with liis two bags of gold in silence for a few miuutes, and tbeu, looking up hastily, he went to the door and watched the retreating forms long and earnestly. Presently he set out to overtake them, running like a deer. When he had gone the men noticed that but one bag of gold rested on the floor, and they looked In each other's eyee meaningly and separated.

Mohawk returned after awhile, found his dust, took it to bis cabin, put it in the receptacle from which it nad been stolen. Since then nothing has been said to or by him about his matrimonial venture, but a great many of the boys have wondered whether he gave Tbum ser's dust back to him or handed it to his banished wife to help her on her journey. It may come out some time.

Unequalled- Dr. Sage's Catarrh RemI

vv'-

Son a people think it perfectly right that children ahould be made to eat everything that is set before them but in carrying out this singular theory too often the gravest injury results. An eminent cHy clergyman said the othei day that the mere eight of liver cookeo in any form made him ill. When quite a little fellow his stern father, who was was one of that aort that would permit no "nonsense," as he expressed it, with regard to children's likes or dislikes a» far as food was concerned, insisting that they should not exercise any taste or choice in tbe matter, required him to eat some liver which bad been put on his plate. There was something about the particular piece of liver that set the ohild against it, but he was forced to swallow the repulsive morsel, and ever since his stomach has rebelled even at the thought of the gross piece of tyranny which waa practiced upon him. is a sound rule for all of us that with respect to food our likes and dislikes are the best guide as to what is good for us, and it is safe to eat upon tbe plan thai whatever we relish will prove on the average harmless and wholesome, and whatever produces disgust will prove, as a general thing, indigestible. A rsceut writer on the point says that "nothing can be more wrong than to make shilddren eat fat, for example, when they don't want it. A healthy child likes fat and eats as much of it as he can. If be shows signs of disgust at fat that, proves htm to be of a billions temperament, and be ought never to be forced to eat it against his will. A good many of us have disordered digestion in after life simply because we were compelled to eat rich food in childhood which we felt instinctively was unsuited to ns."

Thi gratitude of a father, when his offtpring are relieved from disease is something touohing to behold. Elliott Dubois, of Indiauapolia, had triple cause for gratitude to tbe manufactures o' MisWer'a Herb Bitters, for he writes. "All my three children have been cured of worm8 by your bitters. It is far ahead of all the worn loseoges ever made." ________________

The following sensible talk on "The Kind of Girls we Want" la taken from the Lincoln, Neb. Journal:

The growlng-up young girl of fifteen or sixteen, who will neither sew nor do housework, haa no business to be decked ont in finery and rambling about in search of fun and frolic, unless her parents are rich, and in that event she needs the watchful direction ef gbod mother, bone the less. There is no objection to fun, but it should be well-chosen and well-timed. No woman or girl who will not work haa aright to share tbe wages of a poor man's toil. If she does work if she makes the clothes she wears and assists in tbe household duties, tbe chances are she will have enough selfrespect to behave herself when play-time comes, but if she should still be a little "wild" the honest toil she has done will confer upon ber some degree of right to have her own way, ill-judged though it may be. The wild girl usually aspires to prominence in some social circle or other, and ber manners and conduct are in a greater or less degree designed to attract tbe following of men. 8he should remember that followers are not always admirers, and that tbe most sincere admiration a man ever feels for a woman in a drawing-room la when he looks upon her and says in his own consciousness "She is a perfect lady.1*.

STB A NO E REQUESTS OF THE DYING. ,|

PEOPLE WHO LEAVE MINUTE DIRECTIONS REGARDING THEIR INTERMENT.

"t [Chicago News.] .l

"Sir," said a little man with a serious

00

nntenance, as he stepped into an undertaking establishment a few weeks ago and addressed tbe proprietor, "can 1 get yon to prepare a body for burial, fix up tbe casket, and conduct the funeral as I wish?"

The undertaker gazed at the mem' as if be thought be waa about to commit suicide. "Are you referring to your own burial the man of grave affairs asked. "No, no you misunderstand me." "I am willing to accomodate a customer," continued the undertaker, "if he or she does not violate propriety. What do you want?" "1 have just left the bedside of a maiden lady who will soon die," said the little man, "and she baa given me among her last requests one about the way h?r body must lie in the coffin. If you can follow out her directions you may conduct the funeral."

What does she wish done?" "Here is part of ber will. In itsbe says her relatives must purchase a cloth covered casket. In the bottom of it must be first placed a lining of picked hair such as is used by upholstering to put in chairs. This hair must be covered with muslin to cost not less than 10 cents a yard. Then on top of the muslin must be a layer of cotton batting at least an inch thick. This, in turn, must be covered with white satin, with which latter material tbe whole inside of the casket must be lined." "I see no objection to that," said tbe undertaker. "Does she wish anything else done?" "Yes, and it is a very important thing She has at home the pillow on which her mother carried her when she was an infant. On this pillow her head must rest when she is in ber coffin. And she especially desires that the handles of the casket shall be of silver but without ornamentation. "Anything else?" "There is but one more, and this is that the depth of her grave be eight feet." "Did you carry ont tbe instructions?" iked a Daily News reporter to whom the undertaker told the above strange stoiy. did, to tbe letter, and have no doubt the lady's soul retsts in peace." "Do you run across very many incidents of the kind "No, not many. did bnry a woman a short time ago who left a dying request that tbe bible and prayer book which her mother gave her when a child be placed in tbe coffin with her. They were all worn, and to-day rest iu the grave with her. I do, however, find a tendency among a good many people to ask the relatives they are about to leave to see that their remains are taken to their native place and buried by the Hide of their families. Old women are especially given to this Jj^pd of requests, rt was but last week that I shipped to tbe east the body of a lady aged 80 years. She bad lived in Chicago forty years, and yet wanted to be laid to rest in the cemetery in which her father aud mother lay. "Did ybu ever get any special instructions about bow to place a body in a grave "No. There is an invariable rule about this, and that is that tbe body must be laid in the tomb so that tbe feet are toward tbe east. This of course makes it fare the east. In shipping bodies, careful undertakers always mark the bead of tbe coffin so that persons who handle it in transit, or those who place it in the grave, will know just which way to carry and deposit it. Why, there are many people who tbey got it into their heads that the remains of any of their kindred were interred with the ieet to the west would have the body disinterred and placed in the proper position. "I happen to remember burying a woman lately," continued tbe undertaker. "who made a qneer request. It was that her body be kept in tbe house for three days and nights, and after that for six months to a day in the vault at tbe cemetery. 8he also selected the hymns to be sung at both funerals, but the selections of hymns, tunes, snd scripture passages is by no means rare.

A great many people, however, when tbey realise that dissolution is approaching, express a preference for a certain undertaker. Tbey get it from having attended many funerals wbioh the undertaker baa bad charge of. Tbey like bis mode of directing arrangements and think no one else will do for them."

THE DANGERS OR BLOOD POISONING. Sines the death of President Garfield, there seems to have been an increase in tbe number of recorded esses of blood poisoning.

A few weeks ago the Rev. Noah Scbenck, D. D., of Brooklyn, had an operation performed on his foot, inflammation set in snd death ensued. If a man be in good health, a wound heals rapidly if the blood is corrupt, it is slow tofbeal. Impure blood irritates snd inflames the whole system. It follows then, if the blood purifying organs are deranged—since every particle of blood courses through these organs over one hundred times sn hour—in a very short time the blood poison must destroy all vitality.

In tne winter season Nature demands heat-making food in the spring she seta up a cooling process and to accomplish this, she ordains that the change from winter to summer Bhall be gradual if her laws were never violated, this provision wonld be sufficient they are violated, therefore, we most furnish ber help in this spring house-cleaning time otherwise the seeds of disease remain within us.

Blood is made in the stomach it is

§nrified

Snil,

rostration is indicated by extremely heavy feelings and a weariness

which seems to go to tbe bone head aches, furred tongue, lack of appetite, itching and discolored skin, mental irritability, depression of spirts, neuralgic pains, convulsions, chills and fever "malaria." "These little irregularities of feeling are Nature's warnings if neglected, disease may get the upper band. If you introduce into tbe blood a little kidney and liver poison, you can artificially produce the above symptoms it follows, therefore, that to remove them, vitality must be restored to those blood purifying organs. If they cannot perform their work no amount of medicine taken for other organs can have any permanent effect in tte system.

Brigadier-General D. H. Bruce, business manager of the Syracuse (N. Y.) Journal in 1883, found that he was not coming through tbe Bprlng in good form he was not sick, but only out of condition to the timely use of few bottles of Warner's safe cure, however, be attAbuted recovery of constitutional tone, and undobtedly warded off some chronic disorder. This preparation is not a cure-all—It claims to restore' the blood-purifying organs to natural vitality by BO doing, it not only cures, but prevents blood corruption and disease. If you doubt its power, ask your friends millions have heard of it, hundreds of thousands have used it and commend it.

The ill-feelings of spring are caused by a more or less poisoned condition of the blood a condition which grows worse by neglect, and finally may send one to the grave.

One day a young physlcan discovered on bis nose what turned out to be a malignant ulceration the blood virus attacked bis brain and killed bim.

A prominent merchant of apparently average health died suddenly the otller day an examination showed that one kidney, entirely decayed, had poisoned the blood terribly I Had this condition been recognized,in time, be might have to the full "three score and ten."

Every day we neglect to take such precautions as are herein indicated, we may be said to drive a nail in our coffin. The blood is poisoned every day if it is not purified every every day, untimely death is inevitable.

REALLY QUEER CUSTOMS. The manners and customs of tbe Masai, as described by Mr. Joseph Thomson in the account of his recent travels in Africa, are, to put it in the mildest language, most pecullsr, and a whole chapter is devoted to the description of them. Their usual mode of salutation on meeting, is to spit in one another's faces,tbe more copious tbe ei pectoratibn the greater tbe friendship and Mr. Thomson, having been voted a great medicine man, was expected to heal dis-] eases in this way but so great was the demand en his salivary organs that he could only aatiefy bis patients by tak ing repeated draughts Of water.

it has cured thousands

of other ladies.

ABOU1 WIDOWS.

(San Franeiaeo Chronicle.]

I have a vague idea t^at a widow, to be natural, ahould always be plump. I can't give my reason fo£ it. I have long had a conviction that grief over a departed husband is fattening. 1 know that stage widows are always wan and pale and faint at the sight of *ny relic of tbe deceased. But that is dramatic lioense, and only in comedies where true love and devotion are made funny, not to aay ridiculous, do they make widows plump. Come to think of it. I don't see why widow shouldn't be plump. She has nothing to worry about. She Is heroine of one great battle, with a weakened world before her to oenquer. I like widows. It always seems to me that a widow Is a woman who has got the best of a man. He may have been a good deal of a man, or a very little oi a man, but she's got the best of him. It wm» to be awfully hard for a woman to survive her husband. I do not wish to ask whether matrimony Is after all a dlncaiw that Is fatal to women. I don't say that a woman should never marry at all. She ahould always marry some other man.

Cancer Cured.

Mrs. Oliver Hardman, an old resident of Walton oounty, and a lady of culture and prominence, has this to say of the treatment of cancer with Swift's Speci fic:

Over fifteen years ago a cancer made ita appearance on my face, it was treated with plasters, and tbe core came out. Tbe place healed up after some time, and seemingly my face was well. However, in a few years it returned again with more violence than ever. It gave me a great deal of pain. The former remedy seemed to do it no good. Knowing the disease to run in the family, having had one sister to die with canoer, I became seriously apprehensive of my condition tion. It continued to increase in size and virulence. I almost gave up all hope of ever being cured. The physicians advised the use of tbe knife and caustic. This was more than I could bear, and refused to have it operated upon in that way. All other remedies were used, but tbe cancer oontinued to

ffrowand

by the skin, lungs, liver and

idneys. During a long, cold winter, the liver and kidneys sre overworked and tbe consequence is that in the spring these organs are prostrated the

worse. The pain was excrutiatng, my life was a burden. In this extremity my son, Dr. Hardman, recommended me to try Swift's Specific. It was the last resort, but I was so prejudiced against the use of patent medicines, and especially this one, that I hesitated some time. At last I gave my consent, not believing there was any virtue in it. The first bottle only iucreased the size of the sore and tbe discbarge from it, and hence did not inspire me with any hope. On taking tbe second bottle there were signs of improvement, and my faith strengthened just in proportion to that improvement. The spot on my face began to decrease, as well as the discharge, and hope sprang up in my heart. Could it be, I asked myself, that I was at last to be relieved of this disease? It has given me so many dark hours in the past that this idea of being well again almost overpowered me. There was a contest between hope and fear for along time. It was a long night of weeping, but joy came with tbe morning. There is nothing left to mark tbe place but a small scar, and I feel that it is impossible for me to express my gratitude for this great deliverance. It is a wonderful medicine.
