CRUELTY UNREFINED,
hiving pear Oklahoma, I.T., is a woman
whose perfectly bald head tells a story of
jealousy and Indian cruelty, In 1859 OB-
wald Thurwald, a Swedish farmer, had a
home in the territory elm to the Texas
border, and his family consisted of hie
wife, two daughters and a on. The in,
diens seemed friendly, passing ever the
Thurwalds,Ieven when elaying the other
settlers about, and frequenting their plane
to sell their" wares and to purchase each
goods' as Thnrwald brought oat from the
Staten for barter, He was rapidly growing
rich,' and had made his preparations to
niove to Dallas, where he intended to ex-
tend his business, when the tragedy oocar-
red that destroyed hie home and scattered
hie family.
It seems that the chief of the Tonkawa
Indians, who visited that part of the coun-
try from the eouth on raiding expeditions,
had seen Elea, the elder daughter, and, fan-
cying her, offered to bay her of her father.
But Thurwald, though fond of money, re-
fused, whioh gave great offenoe to the chief.
Returning home he inoited his people
against the Thurwaide, and the following
spring they made an attack on him. He
and hie son succeeded in escaping, but the
wife and younger daughter, though tney
eluded capture the first few days, were
overtaken finally. Mrs. Thurwald sank
under the fatigue of her hasty flight through
a rugged country, and when the Indians
came up with them it was to find the girl
holding her mother in her arms, the poor
woman haying just expired.
The next day the girl herself lagged on
the march from an arrow wound in her
ankle, was shot in the presence of her sis-
ter, who had been seized and held from the
moment of the attack until now. She was
taken to a village and given into the charge
of the squaws until the men should have
returned from the war trail.
In the meantime the Kiokepooe declared
war on the Tonkawas, and raided the vil-
lage, when Elsa Thurwald was carried off
with such of the Indian women as were
spared as slaves. The Tonkawas, returning,
found the smelting remains of the houses,
and started after the despoilers, overtaking
them close to the Colorado, where an obsti-
nate battle ensued,but both sides consented
to a truce. The chief of the Kiokapoos,
however, stipulated that the white woman
should be given to him. This was opposed
by the Tonkawalohieftain, who claimed her
by right of priority. This brought on a
quarrel, which was terminated by a hand-
to-hand fight between the rivals, which re-
sulted in the chief of the Tonkawas being
killed and the bone of contention falling to
the viotor.
Re carried her home and confided her to
the care of his squaw, with the injunction
that if she were injured in any way the life
of the woman would pay for it. But fired
by jealousy for her successor the woman
took advantage of her lord's absence to
wreak her vengeance on the detested ob-
ject. Binding her to a tree she deliberately
pulled out the unfortunate •beauty's hair
thread by thread. This torture lasted sev-
eral hours until the white woman's head
was covered with blood and she was
shrieking with agony.
When the chief returned and learned
what had occurred he ordered the witch
burned at the stake. She escaped into the
bush, but was recovered and the sentence
executed. Thurwald had now died, but his
son, hearing of his sister beingin the hands
of the Indians, organised a rescuing party
and succeeded in liberating her, after eigh-
teen months of captivity. Her head took
weeks to heal, and it is thought her mind
was affected by her savage treatment,
though in 1875 she married a farmer in the
vicinity. Her hair has never grown again.
LITTLE WHAT'S HERNAME.
I know a little maiden, she's a fanny little
elf,
For she never is contented to be just plain
herself.
-Un a pleasant Sunday morning, not ,quite
three years ago,
She was ohrietened—I was present, so of
course I ought to know—
But it [really don't matter what name her
sponsors gave,
Though 'twas settled in a very solemn
family conclave.
For a time, indeed it answered, and she to
it se well,
tntiipn'e day it happened a peculiar thing
befell.
When` I said, "Good morning, Frances,"
she would not apeak a word.
I repeated,. "Morning, Frances," though I
knew show must have heard.
'Won't you say `Good morning,' Frances?"
bat she only shook her head.
And with an air of spooked surprise, I'm
"Lizabeth," she said.
For all that day and all the next and many
days beside
To "Elizabeth" alone the funny little witch
replied;
For if you celled her "Frances" she only
shook her head
And in tones of injured protest, "I'm Eliza-
beth," she said.
She was so firm that we at last gave in, she
won the day,
And we thought that Miss Elizabeth had
really Dome to stay,
Till one day to "Come Elizabeth," she de-
murely shook her head:
- - In a voice of pained correction, "I am
Katy," softly said.
We got used in time to "Katy," but as in
the former case,
One day we found that "Katy" had to
"Freda" given place.
And this we lost for "Lullie," and her, in
turn, for "Pet."
Now we're getting used to "Bessie," but I
fear the end's nos yet.
'Tis so long since we have called her by the
name her sponsors gave her
That I'm sure the little rascal couldn't tell
it now to save her. .
But I'm resting in the hope ,that by the
3ootrine of the chances
She may yet tell us some day when we
greet her, "I am Frances."

Sanyo, is about 19 years of age. She stated
that some years ago she became ill, and
gradually the disease took an alarming
character. She was pale and listlese, her
blood was thin and watery, she could not
walk fast, or climb a stair, or do any work
requiring exertion. Her heart troubled her
so much and the palpitatione. were so
violent as to frequently prevent her from
sleeping at night, her lips were blue and
bloodless, and she was subject to extremely
severe headache. Her condition made her
very unhappy, for. being an orphan, she
wanted to be of help to the relations with
whom she lived, but instead was becoming
an incumbrance. Having read of the won-
ders worked by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
Mise Sanyo determined to give them a
trial. After using one or two boxes she be-
gan to revive somewhat and felt stronger
than before. She slept better, and Dolor
began to return to her cheek, and... -a- new
light shone in her eyes. This encouraged
her so much that she determined to con-
tinue the treatment, and loom the heart
palpitations and spasms which had made
her life mieerable passed away, and she
was able to assist once more in the house-
hold labor. Today she feels as young and
as cheerful as any other young and healthy
girl of her age. She is very thankful for
what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done
for her, and feels that she cannot too highly
praise that marvellous remedy. Indeed
her case points a means of rescue to all
young girls who find that health's roses
have flown from their cheeks, or who are
tired of slight exertion, subject to fits of
nervousness, headaches and palpitation of
the heart. In all such oases Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills in all such cases.

Castoria is Dr. Samuel Pitcher's prescription for Intents
and Children. It contains neither Opium, Morphine nor
other Narcotic substance. It is a harmless substitute
for Paregoric, Drops, Soothing Syrups, and Castor Oil.
It is Pleasant. Its guarantee is thirty years' use by
Millions of Mothers. Castoria destroys Worms and allays
feverishness. Castoria prevents vomiting Sour Curd,
cures Diarrhoea and Wind Colic. Castoria relieves
teething troubles, cures constipation and flatulency.
Castoria assimilates the food, regulates the stomach
and bowels, giving healthy and natural sleep. Casgi
toric is the Children's Panacea—the Mother's Friend.

The spectable of a burning oil -tank
is one not easy to forget. Vast billows
of smoke, like clouds of black ivory,
roll hissing upwards. The masses of
think pungent vapor sprawl and tum-
.-ble-over one another. Through these,
like a shuttle through a loom, dart
swift arrows of glaring yellow smoke.
When one of the big oil-refineties in
Long Island City was burning years
ago the smoke hid the sun tor hours.
The most destructive petroleum fire
in the history of this country took
place at Titusville and Oil City, Penn-
sylvania, on Sunday, June 5, 1892.
Strangely enough it began with a
flood. A dam that had been built at
Spartansburg, above Titusville, broke,
and millions of gallons of water rush-
ed down upon the city. The floor
came at night, and the people were all
asleep. The dam had held back a lake
one-quarter of a mile wide and a mile
and a. half long. The people of Titus-
ville fought hard for their lives, and
there were many daring rescues. Nev-
ertheless, more than fifty persons
were drowned. When the flood was
at its worst a new horror was added.
Tank after tank of petroleum caught
fire, and burst with awful roars. The
fire ran along the flood, and swept
away whole blocks of wooden houses.
How many men and women were
killed bas never been found out.
From Titusville the flood swept
down Oil Creek. Tho usually, tiny
stream swelled to a mighty river. At
dawn the inhabitants of Oil City fled
from their beds, only to be caught in
the rushing, swirling waters. Many
poor people lived on the lower levels,
and the rivet ran around their portion
of the city in the shape of a bent bow.
Block after block was submerged.
Such boats as could be hastily found
were used in taking men and women
and children from the upper windows
of their houses.
As yet there had been no fire at Oil
City. But hundreds of thousands of
gallons of crude petroleum, kerosene,
distilled naphtha and benzine were
floating clown the flood. Many tanks
had been burst by drifting logs, trees.
houses, etc. Vast quantities of gas
hovered above theseinflammable studs.
Some say that acco�aareless spectator
lit his pipe and d4'6pped the flaming
match into the stream, and others
say that a spark from a locomo-
tive started the fire. At all events
nearly the whole surface of the water
burst into flame in the twinkling of an
eye. More than twenty men who stood
on bridges gazing at the flood were
killed by inhaling the surrounding
flames.
A telegram from Niagara Fall, N.
Y., says:—Customs officers at this
port have been busy with the new tar-
iff bill. Between 1,000,000 and 2,003,-
000 feet of dressed lumber was received
at Tonawanda from Canada. Cana-
dian gardeners rejoiced at the free
entry of stuff at the bridges this morn-
ing. "The new tariff opens the way for
the importation of eggs, potatoes and
other stuff from Canada," said Mr C.L.
Potter, of the firm of Potter & Will-
iams, of Buffalo, N. Y. "As it is now
very little produce is brought over
from Canada. We expect to see the
'market glutted with Canadian pro-
duce. Eggs, apples and potatoes will
he cheaper, but the A,nerican farmers
will be sufferers. They can't compete
with the Canadian farmers." Mr Jos -
W. Powell, of Rea & Powell, said he
did not think that the new tariff would
have any perceptible effect on the
prices of provisions. He agreed with
Mr Potter, however, that the new tar-
iff would allow eggs, apples and pota-
toes to be delivered cheaper from Can-
ada, and that the prices would be re-
duced. The changes in the stock
schedule are calculated to increase the
volume of handlings in Buffalo. In
the fall heavy entries are made here
for sheep from Canada. Under the
McKinley Bill the duty was $1.50 per
head for sheep and 75 cents a head for
lambs. The new tariff makes it 20 per
cent ad valorem on all stock and cat-
tle, which is quite a reduction. The
duty on horses was $30 a head ween
the valuation was less than $150, and
30 per cent ad valorem when the valu-
ation was higher. Now it is 20 per
cent ad valorem' on all. Sheep ands
horses are the principal stock importa-
tions received here from Canada.

One effeot of the severe drought is the
ehntting down of a number of cheese fac-
ties in Western Ontario. Suitable food for
cows has become so scarce that the yield of
milk has enormously decreased. Some
cows, indeed, have become almost dry.
For weeks farmers have been feeding hay
to their cows, and now special feed has to
be given to sheep and pigs two months be-
fore the usnal time. The result will be a
run on hay that must materially decrease
the stores for winter neo. Some idea may
be obtained of the loss from drought when
it is mentioned that last year the English
diarymen lost over $38,1)00,000 through
the prolonged dry spell in that country.
This year there is too much rain in the
Motherland.
