Two herdsmen quarrelled on a Nebraska prairie, and each threatened to kill the other. Neither was armed, but there was a gun in their hut, a mile away. Both started for the weapon, and it waa a race for life, for the man who got ifc was certain to shoot his companion. They had several fights on the way, aud were bruised rfnd exhausted when they neared the goal, but they ran with desperation, and kept abreast until close to tbe house. Then one tripped and fell, giving tbe other the lead. The victor dashed into the building, pulled the gun down from its hooks, and mercilessly murdered his fallen foe. A temperance lecturer who has been at work in the towns up tbe Hudson has been giving a reporter of the Kingston Courier a page from his early experience in Michigan. Previous to his arrival in a small town where he intended to do some work, the boys had agreed among themselves to go to the meeting, but not to sign the pledge. He appealed in vain for recruits in the temperance cause. Not a man would move. At this stage of the proceedings the belle of the town sprang to her feet, and cried out— "Boys this is really too bad. Won't you sign the pledge ? " Not a soul moved from his feet. Again the fair belle appealed to the men's better nature, but it was of no avail; they had promised they wouldn't sign. Finally the lady said, " Roys I'll kiss the first man who signs the pledge." At this juncture up jumped a tall backwoodsman, and drawliogly exclaimed, "Siss, I'm ver huckleberry ! Whar's yer pledge ? " fhe brave girl kissed the fellow, and the cheering which followed made the building rattle. This incident broke the ice, and before the reformer had left the town nearly everyone had donned the ribbon. Coming events cast their shadows before them— those who remain too long hesitating get overtaken by the event as well as the shadow. How many a valuable life would have been saved, if the premonitory symptoms of coming disease had been regarded ? " Ghollah's Great Indian Coaßs," if taken in time, are the most certain preventatives of serious disease ever yet discovered. They are infallible remedies, and sold by all Chemists.
