A FORTUNE
Inherited by few, is pure blood, free
from hereditary taint. Catarrh, coo-
sumption, rheumatism, Scrofula,
and many other maladies born tn
the blood, can be effectually eradicated only by the use of powerful
alteratives. Tho standard specific
for this purpose — tho ono best
known and approved — is Ay«r'»
Sarsaparilla, the compound, concentrated extract of Honduras sarsaparilla, and othor powerful alteratives.
"I consider mat I have been
SAWED
several hundred dollars' expense, by using
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and would strongly
urge all who are troubled with lameness or
rheumatic pains to gi ve 11 a trial. I am sure
11 will do them permanent good, as it has
done me."—Mrs. Joseph Wood, West Pittsburgh, N.Y.
Vt. J. W. Shields, of Smllhvllle, Tenn.,
says: " I regard Ayer's Sarsaparilla as tlio
best blood medioine on earth, and know cf
many wonderful cures effected by Its use."
" For many years I was laid up with Scrofula, no treatment being of any benefit. At
length I was recommended to give Ayer's
Sarsaparilla a trial.   I did so, and
By Taking
about a dozen bottles, was restored to perfect health—weighing 230 pound.—and am
now a believer In the merits ol Ayer's Sarsaparilla."—James Petsy, Mine Boss, Breck-
enridge Coal Co. (Limited), Victoria, Ky.
"Ily niece, Sarah A. Loscc, was for years
afflicted with scrofulous humor ln the blood.
Abont 18 months ago she began to use
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and after taking three
bottles was completely cured."—E. Caffall,
P. IC, Losee, Utah.

BUFFALO, N.
TIMMS'S 8TBATEGY.
Mapes was chivalrous by nature; he
believed in "seeking the bubble reputation, even ta tto cannon's mouth."
Timms, ou the contrary, believed there
was policy in war, and that the end justified the means, particularly if the end
was attained. Companions from infancy had been spent in competition for
scholastic and such other honors us tlie
locality afforded, without even a momentary break hi their friendship. But
now, in early manhood, they struggled
for a prize of incalculable value, with an
ardor tbat threatened a complete rupture
of friendly relations.
The heart and hand of Eliza Reed, the
neighborhood belle, were to be won, and
to theso none others might aspire, la tto
face of such formidable competition as
that of Mapes and Timms.
Coquetry it delicious to a woman, and
Eliza would not have been feminine had
she beeu in haste to have made an election. Nevertheless, she did. not Intend
to miss her opportunity. She knew well
the war oouid not always last, aud feared
that when one of,the aspirants for tor
favor withdrew from the contest, the love
of the other, wanting tlie stimulus of competition, would grow cold; hence she
had made her mind up that upon
the most favorable opportunity she
would signify to Mnpea that his
suit, so often pressed, was at Inst accepted. The opportunity, it seemed, was
not to be long wanting, for invitations
were given out for an apple bee in the
neighborhood, snd Elisa found means to
convey an intimation to Mapes that she
expected to meet him there, and counted
on his escort home at the couolusion of
tto frolic.
Tha appointed evening looked for with
such nervous anticipation by Mapes eame
at length. He felt that it was the most
important of his life, and arrayed himself as only a rustic dandy can. His way
lay across a meadow, through which ran
—or rather loitered—a deep, but narrow
stream, spanned by a single log. It was
so dark when he reached this primitive
bridge that he was compelled to feel lib
way slowly across. .As he progressed it
began to swing lightly—something very
unusual—until to reached the center,
when, to his utter confusion, it gave way,
and he was launched into the water. He
scrambled out, and was forced to bid
adieu for the night to nil hopes of plighting his troth to the loved Eliza.
In tto rural districts Down East in
early times the good people had suoh
habits of industry and rigid economy that
they seldom gave or ut'.ended parties,
unless such were cloaked under the names
of raisings, qniltings, bushings, or apple
bees; thm, tto apple bee fraught with
momentous consequences to Mapes and
Timms was but a social-party in disguise
—a few apples being pared, quartered,
cored, and strung in the early evening
for appearances' sake.
As usual, Eliza Reed was the belle of
tbe occasion. Good looks, entire self
possession, and a keen, satirical wit
always assured her that position; and
this night she shone with unusual brilliancy, until, as the hours wore away and
Mapes came not, she begau to lose herself itt pondering why, and at length
asked Timms:
"Is your friend Mapes ailing?"
"Iguess not," replied Timms; "saw
bim to-day.   He wasn't complaining."
"He denies himself much pleasure,"
said Elisa, "in not coming here to-night,
for this is tto place where we always
have a good time. Aunt Judy knows
bow to give an apple bee."
"Ton let Mapes alone," answered
Timms; "he knows what he's about."
"What do you mean ?" asked Eliza.
"Oh, I mean," replied Timms, "that
Mapes is the prince of good fellows and
gets invitations where the rest of us
don't"
"Where is Mapes to-night?" asked
Eliza, now fully aroused.
"I don't know for sure," answered
Timms. "He told me to-day there were
special reasons for his coming hero, but
that he had an invitation to the rioh
aud aristocratic Squire Hjintoon't, who
is eelebruting his daughter's birthday,
and thut he didn't know whicii way he
would go." And Timms turned away
to talk to tiie next pr.ttiest girl in the
room.
Petted young women are seldom logical or patient. When the party broke
up Eliza accepted Timms's escort to her
home, and before they arrived there she
had consented to become, with the least
possible delay, Mrs. Timms. The next
day the engagement was announced,
and preparations for the wedding commenced. Timms was exultant—happy
Timmsl
For a few days Timms was not muoh
seen ia public—perhaps for want of
courage to wear his blushing honors
openly; perhaps for want of courage to
meet some Other contingencies—who
knows? But a man can not make arrangements for his own wedding from
a fixed standpoint, nnd he was compelled to venture out. In a quiet and
secluded byway he met Mapes. The
meeting to him was a surprise; he
smiled feebly and extended his hand.
But Mapes, intent on business, strode
squarely up to Timms and planted a
vigorous blow on one of his eyes,
which caused that gentleman to measure
bis length in the dust. Timms sprang
to his feet and showed fight, but another blow on the other eye seat him
again to grass, where to oontinued to
lie.
"Get up," said Mapes.
"You'll knock me down again," said
Timms.
"Yes,"returned Mapes, " I will*
"Then I won't get up," said Timms.
"You're an infernal scoundrel," said
Mapes.
"I can not help your saying so," answered Timms.
"You sawed the log," mid Mapes.
"Whatlog?" asked Timms.
"You sawed the log," repeated Mapes,
advancing a step.
"Yes—stop," said Timms; "I sawed
the log."
"Well, you needn't think, "said Majn-s,
"that after your marriage you're going
to tell that story and make me a laughing stock."
"ril never speak of it," whined Timms,
"Perhaps 3o-i won't," said Mapes,"but
I'm going to swear you before I get
through. There's another thing; you
won the woman by your—trickery, and
I know it's ia you to abuse her, so Fm
going to swear you to treat her kindly. *
"I'll swear," said Tim ins.
"Hold up your hand," said Mapes.
Timms held up his hand.
"Now repeat after me: 'I, Silas Timms,
solemnly swear that I will never bring
to tbe knowledge of any human being
that I sawed the log whereby Daniel
Mapes fell into the creek and lost a wife;
and, further, that I will, she consenting,
marry Eliza Reed, and always treat her
kindly, so help me God.'"
Timms repeated the oath verbatim.
"Now get up and go home," said
Mapes. I don't think you'll be married
till your eyes get out of mourning, and
by that time I will he far enough away.
But don't think FH lose sight of you,
and if you don't keep your oath you'll
see nie."
Timms arose from the ground, shook
off tbe dust, and walked away; when he
had reached a safe distance he shouted
back exultingly:
"Mapes, she's an angel."
In 30 years Daniel Mapes had learned
many things, and among tbem this:
Life is very much as we make it.
The effect of this lesson was to make
it appear that the lines, to him, bad
fallen In pleasant ]>laces. His rotund
form and firm muscle bespoke a good
digestion, while a cheerful countenance
told of mental peace. A fair woman
named him husband aud ohildren called
him father. A beautiful home in tlie
Santa Clara valley wns theirs; besides
which Mapes had mauy broad acres of
land, as well ns many head of stook run- j
ning nearly wild iu the counties of
Monterey and San Luis Obispo.
Once in each year the oattle that graze
on California's thousand bills are gathered in bands at convenient places, to
be claimed and branded by the owner
—such assemblages being called rodeos.
Mapes had been down across the Salinas plains in attendance upon a rodeo;
and, being ou his return, jogging along
on his mustang, he saw far in the distance, but nearing him, au equally lone
traveler.
Slowly the distance between them decreased; and, as they approached,
Mapes — with California prudence—
slipped his revolver upon the belt wbioh
sustained it from his baok round to his
left side, bringing the hilt under the
shadow of his bridle arm, aud within
easy reach of his right hand. A near
look assured Mapes that he had no occasion for weapons; the coming mau
was of middle age, but bis look was
worn, weary, dejected, and hopeless—
in local phrase, his maimer was that of
one who "has lost his grip;" ami those
who have met thut terrible misfortune
nre never highway robbers, "grip" be
ing the veiy quality wanted in that
hazardous pursuit.
The travelers met with a long, inquiring gaze, when from their lips simultaneously buret the words, "Mapes" —
"Timms." After a moment of surprise
Mapes, spurring his mustang, drew near
Timms.
"So—we meet at last. I have beon
waiting to see you this many a year."
The movement seemed ominous to
Timms, and he oried out:
"Don't—don't shoot 1 I have no weapons 1 Besides, I have kept my oath—at
least as well as I could. I never told the
reason why you didn't attend the apple
bee, nor ever breathed a syllable about
the sawed log to a living soul—upon my
solemn oath I"
"I wasn't thinking of tbe ducking,"
remarked Mapes.
"Don't come any nearer," returned
Timms. "I have always tried to use tbat
woman well; but she wouldn't be used
well. I have done my best to treat her
kindly, but she won't be treated kindly.
"It is no use to go over the grounds to
me, Timms."
"But," replied Timms, "you bave no
idea what that woman is; you wouldn't
blame me if you only knew. She's browbeat me till I ain't half a man."
"So I see," said Mapes.
"No, you don't see," replied Timms.
"You don't see half. Look at this scar"
—taking off his hat and showing a long
seam on his scalp—"that was done with
a skillet."
"You have suffered," said Mapes.
"Suffered!" returned Timms. "You
ought to have sworn her, too. If you
only knew how I have thought of you,
and of my oath to you, and how I have
borne blows and been quiet — how I
bave been called a brute and a fool, and
kept silent—how I have endured taunts
aad sneers, hunger and discomforts,
without even a word of reproach—you
would forgive me; you wouldn't harbor
thoughts of revenge."
"Thoughts of revenget" replied Mapes.
"Let us dismount and have a settlement,
for I .see my chance has come at last."
"Mapes, would you take tto life of an
unarmed man?"
"Timms, you're crazv. Let me explain.
I bave no wrongs to avenge. It is not
for vengeance that I have wanted to see
you. I have heard about you often—
know all your life and experiences; and
I have only wanted to meet you, to offer
you a home and friendship, employment,
and opportunities for prosperity here in
California. I owe you no debt but one
of gratitude for the inestimable service
you did me by that little job of carpenter work, aud that I mean to pay. Come
with me "
He took Timms's horse by the bridle,
turned him about without remonstrances,
and they traveled on in silence.
After a while Timms raised his eyes
timidly from the ground snd said:
"Mapes, she's a demon 1"

the Publio Knowe Little About.
Census Bulletin No. 181 will possess a
peculiar attraction for those who are interested in a study ef creeds, differences
of doctrinal opinions, and similar questions. It contains statistics of 28churcli0S
or religious denominations in the United
States of which comparatively little is
known, in some instances tlie figures
never before having beeu given to the
public
Among these are the twelve branches
of the Menaonites, the Dunkards, several
African branches of the Methodist
Church, Independent Churches of Christ,
Temple Society. Church ef God, Latter
Day Saints, Shakers, etc. Tto Menuon-
ites are umog the oldest religious bodies
on this oontinent The church was
founded by Menne Simons, of Holland,
born the year America was discovered
and educated for a Roman Catholio
priest. Attracted by the accounts of
Peon's colony, a party of Mennonites
crossed the ocean in 1683 and settled at
Germantown, Pa. All Mennonites aooept the confession of faith adopted in
Holland in 1883.
Tto doctrines of the church, however,
an traced back tbrough the Waldeuelans
of the 18th century, aud the same faith
is followed to the earliest ages of the
Christian era. They have divided and
subdivided over minor questions into 13
denominations. The total number of
churches is 650, the number of communicants 41,541. They represent a class of
old religious peculiarities whioh are
slowly but surely parsing away.
> The Dunkards. Tuutiers, or German
Baptists trace their origin hack for nearly
200 years to the province of Witgenstein,
Germany. They have subdivided into
Progressi ve* Conservatives, and Old Order
Brethern, and number leea than 1,000
ohurohes, with about 78,000 members.
Tto Independent Church of Christ came
into existence during the war, and .bad
its origin among ah element who objected
to "political preaching." It claims to ba
non-partisan, non-sectarian, and non-denominational, is found in 17 States, and
has 284 ohurches and a membership of
18,214.
The Temple Society of " Friends of Jerusalem " was founded in Wurtembourg.
Germany, ta 1853. They believe that
Christ will return and set up His kingdom in Jerusalem. They have one
church in Kansas und three in New York,
with 340 members. The Church of God
was founded by Elder John Winebrenner
ln Harrisburg, Pa., in 1880. It is an offshoot of the German Reformed, and has
479 chinches and 85,511 members, who
oppose creeds and sects.
The reorganized Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saiuts, or non-polyganjous
Mormons, claims to have been founded
in 1880 by Joseph Smith. They deny
the revelation of polygamy to Brigham
Young and disclaim all connection with
the Utah branch. They have 481 organisations and a membership of 21,778 in
36 States and three Territories. There
are 15 communities of Shakers, with a
membership of 1(788, whioh statistics
show is decreasing. There are three
Amana societies, or "True Inspiration
Congregations," in Iowa
An Old Spanish Story-
There is a story told in Spain, that
runs somewhat to this effect :
There was a certain man who was
gifted with a very peouliar kind of second sight. When h'e went to a doctor's
he could see outside the door the ghosts
of all tbose patton'■ who had died during the time they had been attended by
the doctor.
One day he himself fell ill and it became necessary that he should seek the
assistance of a physician, so he started
out to find the best one he could He
visited the houses of all the medical men
who were supposed to be the cleverest
In the town, but be found all their
doorways so blocked up, as it were, with
ghosts, that be did not like to go in.
After traversing all tbe principal
streets and not finding a single doctor
whom he thought he could trust, be at
last turned Into a side turning, and outside the door of a seemingly insignificant doctor, he saw only one little whito
ghost glimmering; therefore, thinking
lie must bea very clever doctoi who had
only killed one person, he went into the
bouse and was attends 1 to by the doctor As he was leaving the doctor said
to him:
" I cannot think who recommended
you to come to an insignificant man like
myself, seeing that during the whole
time I have practiced I have only had
one patient, and 1 am quite sure that he
did not tell you."—London Tul-Bits.

A   Lodge    Binqaat    Wh«r«   tlie Ounla
Were Vttduty Surprised.
A man about New York tells a story
that is more or less "on himself." Yesterday, lu a "Bohemian" crowd up near
Daly's Theater to waa relatingit, cheered
by much rather elusive " laugh effects."
"I dou't go to a banquet once a year,
but last week I attended one, a sort of
lodge dinner. It was a chilly affair.
I'll warrant tbat not six of those attending had ever dined fat like manner before. Each felt as though the dignity of
the whole affair depended solely upon
bis own austerity.
"Well, there bad beeu engaged for the
occasion the services of a fashionable
caterer. In due time rhe guests were
seated at dinner, and every fellow there
felt that he was sitting on a chair tbat
had no bottom to it.
"Tto first course was in order. There
were placed in front of each guest a tiny
teacup and saucer. Then the waiter
passed along and filled these with tea
served from wbat looked like a real silver teapot.
"It occurred to each one that tea was
an odd sort of first course, but of course
it occurred promptly to each one to keep
his mouth shut about the matter, and
not to appear that it was a new experience for him.
"Some one started the sugar bowl and
tongs down tbe line, and each one da*
posited a lump of sugar in his cup.
"Tben we all pleasantly sipped our tea.
A ourious loqk was on each countenance,
but tto ice was yet whole, and it re«
mained for me to break it. "Gentlemen,'
I said, 'there is a mistake tore. This
teasome and teaenvironed substance is
■oup. It is bouillon, and it isn't good
with sugar in it.'"
It was not His Property.
" Will you be kind enough to take
that grip-sack off that seat ?" said a
countryman, who got ou a train at tha
Grand Central Depot.
" No, sir, I don't propose to do anything of the sort," replied the drummer-,
who was sitting on the other side of tho
seat.
" Do you say that yon are going to lethal grip-sack stay right there 2"
" Yes, sir. I do."
'• In case you d n't remove that gripsack I shall be under tbe painful necessity of calling the conductor "
" You can call the conductor, the engineer, and the brakeman, if you want,
to. Perhaps you had better send a special telegram to Chauncey Depew himself about it "
" Tbe conductor will put you off tbe
jtradn."
" I don't care if be does I am not
going to take that grip-sack from that
place wbere it is "
The indignant passenger went through
tbe train, and soon returned with the /
oonduotor.
"So you refuse to remove that grip- J
sack, do you ?" asked the conductor.
"I do."
Great sensation.
" Why do you persist in refusing to
remove that grip-sack ¥"
" Because it's not mine."
" Why didn't you say so at once ?,r
" Because nobody asked me."
Emma Abbott and the Aspirant.
Emma Abbott had been greatly bored
by a stage struok young gin who wanted to become an opera singer. Finally
Miss Abbott consented to hear the
young woman sing. After the song was
ended the aspirant asked in a self-satisfied way:
" There. Don't you see tbat there is
music in me?"
"I don't know, my child," replied
Miss Abbott," perhaps there may be. X
didn't hear any come out."
Drunken Sparrows.
He was a bright boy. He had exhausted every scheme he had thought
of in connection with the capture of
sparrows. To the nearest drug store he
went. He carried with him a bottle
and some money. A little while after
he showed the bottle and its oontents to
some men.
" I had to lie to get the alcohol," he
said, "but I told the fellie tbat it was for
a cop, an' he give it to me."
In a tin pan he poured his alcohol.
Then he thoroughly soaked some oats in
the deadly spirits and scattered a tempting meal in the yard.
The plan worked. Six drunken sparrows were picked up out of the first
batch that tackled the oats. They were
helpless and sorry looking birds when
the boy pulled their heads off, and if the
supply of alcohol and oats holds out that
boy will have a big string of sparrow
heads to cash'in with City Clerk "Va__.
