' Swift's Specific is the best spring medi
cine, because it assists nature to throw off the
impurities of the blood by its prompt action
on the skin, and at the same time tones up
the entire organism. This is iust contrary to
the effect of the various potash, meicury, sar
i;apnrilla mixtures, which bottle up the impu
rities in the system, thus producing much
sickness and suffering. Therefore, for a

This is to give notice to the man with a
scheme promising big profits that I ahull
be "at home" for the next three months,
and can be seen at any hour of tho day or
night. If the scheme promises extra fine
ho may even cull on Sunday, though of
course I shouldn't want to actually close a
deal with him nn that day. I am not par
tieular as to tho nut it re of the scheme, nor
the amount of capital required, and if
elected on the hoard of directors 1 shall be
ierfcct!y sal islied. In connection with this
I desire to submit the following list of
schemes in which I am at present inter
csted, and to puint out the fact that each
and every one of them will make every in
vestor a wealthy man inside of a brief
twelve months.
ScilKMK No. 1. This st heine originated
ill the bruin of a young man who li t me in
on the ground floor for a quarter. The
said quarter uftenvaid let him ill on the
second Hour of a Howery lodging house.
It is lo contract for the entire huckleberry
crop of America this summer lit seven
ccuta a quart iiml raise the price tot went y.
ICstimated crop, IW,iirj,(Mll quarts; net
profits, WHI.ir.HI. A clean, tidy business,
with nn tar or grease to soil your hands,
and quick ret in ns nn capital invested. No
polities or religion in it, mid the public
must have huckleberries, no matter what
the price. Capital stock limited to$."iO,(X)0,
and all shares nonassessable, Apply at
once. All shareholders entitled to huckle
berries at contract price.
Si.llKMl-: No. 2. The man who submitted
this sehemo to me was a horn financier,
lie had just pawned a six dollar overcoat
for two dollars. It is to buy ai,(KH) acres
of New Jersey marsh lands anil cultivate
celerv. The title of the organization is to
he "The ti rent New Jersey Celery ( l owers'
Association, Unlimited." Our capital will
lie limited, but the growth of celery will
not. I hail scarcely lent him half a dol
lar to get to Newark on when he made me
president of the organization, ion can
see lor yourself what there is in it. Twi n
ty thousand acres at two dollars per acre
isflO.UOU. Kneh acre will raise sixty dol
lars' worth of celery, making the season's
crop turn in tl.OT.ooo. .Say it takes the
fJOD.OOU to pay for seed and labor anil sun
dries, and there is a cool million to divide
up among us. Don't let this scheme get
away from you. Huckleberries may get
sunburned and the price come dow n, but
celery takes no risks. Certificates of slum s
will be out next week, and you never saw
liner printing in colors.
St'llLMK No. :i.-Thisseht aewas brought
to ma iu a carpet bag. It was the only
thing in the bag. The originator wanted
(10,000 for it at first, but dropped by slow
degrees to seventy-live cents, at which
figure I closed with him with a great
deal of enthusiasm. It is to form nn organ
ization to he knowu mm "The limit Amer
ican Matrimonial mid Trust liuaraiitee
Company." A person, either male or fe
male, desiring to enter into the blissful
bonds of wedlock, calls at the ofliee and
leaves names and particulars and pavsn
fee of !3 to S!00 to be guaranteed. No
sparking, no jealousy, no loss of valuable
time. Marriages brought about within
one hour if so desired. Parties afterward
supplied with money for bridal tour and
set up in housekeeping on the installment
plan. IJispositions positively guaranteed
No fear of marrying a drunkard or a
bleached bloinl. Molhcis-in law kept at a
safo distance. Kvery marriage warranted
for ten years if rules and regulations are
lived up to.
There are in the United States at this
moment 478,'JtO marriageable young men
anil 017, ;MU marriageable girls. Make the
average fee liity dollars and you see what
there is in it. A dividend of at least -a per
cent, can be declared every year. Kvcp
your eye on this scheme until you can (in
load mining and railroad stocks ami come
in out of the wet. I'.very couple will nat
urally buy more or less huckleberries and
celery. At the present time I hold nil the
offices nn.l am the board of diiectors lie
sides, hut am perfectly willing to divide
up. Certificates of shares will be put at
live dollars each, so that all can invest.
Holders of fifty dollars' worth of stork
have the first chance for matrimony. l)i
vorce-s procured for grass widows for
twenty -ftvo dollars extra.
Scheme No. 4. This appeared it little
jumpy to me at first, hut after a thorou
investigation I lent the originator ninety
live cents and accepted the scheme as se
curitv. Uu thought it out one night in
Chicago and then rounded it up while
riding fust on the bumpers. I en thousand
acres of swamp lauds can bo bought in
Florida for one dollar an acre. Each acre
will furnish pasture ground for 12,000
frogs. At one year old each frog will sell
right there on the ground for il nickel-
that is, bis hind legs will, while the rest of
tho body can be fed to 10,000 (lucks and
geese being raised for market at the same
time. No machinery about this scheme to

be continued. "If I were running this
bouse it seems to me I'd know wliethei
i'.iv rook was burning gas all night 01
not."
"The conk uses a lamp, Mr. llowser."
"Then who wasted that gas?"
"You did!"
"W-wliat!"
"Oa four different occasions last month
von left the burner ill the bathroom goini
all night, and it's a wonder the sixt y cent
covered it."
".Mrs. llowser, do you know what you
are saying!"
"I do. I say you left the gas burning
That's your reckless way. If you were run
ning this house, Mr. Iiowser, people would
call it a lunatic asylum inside of four
weeks."
Mr. llowser got tip to assume his favor
ite pose and squelch her, but she stopped
him Willi a wave or her liauil and continued:
"Do yon know how much money I have
had per week for the last three months for
in v own personal user
"Mrs. llowser, are you addressing mef"
he deuiauded.
"Certainly. There is no one else present
to address. 1 have been figuring it up,
and it isn't two dollars per week. You
were talking about extravagance, you
know. I low much do your cigars cost you
per week, Mr. Dowser?"
He stared at herns if he doubted whether
lie was in his right senses.
"At least three dollars a week," she went
on. "You In long to two clubs, and your
expenses t hen; are at least five dollars per
week. Yuii manage to t hrow away at least
two dollars more during the week mak
ing ten in all."
"Mrs. llowser, do you expect me to sub
mit to this sort of talk?" he shouted as he
snraug up.
"He calm, Mr. Dowser," she replied,
"we are talking about family extrava
gance, you know. Our gas bill jumped up
sixty cents, and wo are trying to find the
leak. Now, then, you belong to threoor
four secret societies. What are your dues
and exnenses in each?"
He tried to speak, but thowords gurgled
in his throat, and he turned red clear back
to his rear collar button.
"And another thing, Sir. Dowser," she
went on in a voice which he seemed to
hear as in a dream, "you are constantly
bringing home things of no earthly ae

Sciikmi-: No. 5. I bought this scheme on
the spur of the moment. The originator
of it was nearsighted, and I saw an oppor
tunity to get rid of a "plugged" hall dol
lar. It is to seize Cuba sonio dark night
and sell her to the United States. Tho capi
tal reouired is only half a million dollars,
and Uncle Sam would jump at nn offer
of $20,000,000. Clear profit in a week or so,
tl0.500.00fl. Wanted A first class Seizer,
who is not afraid of work, and who has
had soma experience in that line, btendy
work and fair wages. Apply at the office
of "The Great American bcizer Company,
New York. Cnn't be no mistako about
the profits in this scheme. Cuba is right
over there waiting lo be seized, and the
United States Is right over here waiting to
buy. Title absolutely perfect and the sale
Is for cash on the nail. Might be some lit
tle risk in frogs, but this thing is spiked
down and can't get away.
Other parties having schemes will plcnso
drop me a line or call in person. I have
mado it a rule to buy everything of the
kind offered for the last thirty years where
tho price was any ways reasonable. Pat

Wo have an old lire escape down cellar
which cost eight dollars. ou have
biouuht home twenty dollars' worth of
drugs which I have had to throw out.
Some one made you believe your liver was
out of order, nnd you paid six dollars for a
mil which you never wore lifteen mm
utes."
Mrs. Bowser," he finally found voice to
shout, as she made a pause, "do you know
who lain? Ilavo you tho remotest idea
who you are talking to?''
You are Mr. Iiowser, ot course, sue
calmly replied. "I'lcaso don't speak so
loud, as 1 have a headache. I saw liy tlio
paper tho other day that you gave
twenty live dollars to help buy a testimo
nial for somebody. You were also put
lown ns giving ten dollars to some
benevolent fund. You had four good suits
of clothing in the house when you got the
fifth one. I counted live hats mid four
nairs of shoes in your closet yesterday.
Only two weeks ago you paid sixdollars for
Turkish pipe which some- one recom
mended, and yesterday you sent home six
bottles of stomach bitters which will one
day have to be thrown into the garbage
barrel."
Mrs. Bowser, I I"
lie calm, Mr. llowser! We are talking
on the SIIDJCCD ot iaiuuy extravagance.
Here is my outfit of gloves. I got them
down on purpose to show you. Tliero nre
three pairs, hut not one ot liiem tit to
wear on the street. Here are my nanoKer-
chiefs. Do you think you could sell the
whole lot for n dollar? I have been want
ing some perfumery and toilet water, but
could not afford them. I was going down
to the sale of twenty cent tooth brushes the
other day, but we had to have clothespins,
nnd 1 knew if I asked you you'd want to
know what became of the three dozen we
bought just after tho close of tho war. I
know I'm an extravagant nnd wasteful
wife, but I do want to ask you if you can't
possibly spare me twenty-eight cents to go
dowu to the special sale of hosiery tomor
row? If you can't spare It an just now
give mo fourteen cents and I'll buy one
stocking and lay it away until we can af
ford to get another."
Mr. Bowser had been turning rcu ana
white, like moonbeams playing over a ripe
pumpkin ou the edge of acoru field. He
bad tried to interrupt, but his throat
swelled up and choked back tho words.
His cars worked and Ins eyes roueu, nnu
in his utter helplessness be sat down with
a groan.
I was figuring up mis nueruoon, saiu
Mrs. llowser, as she reached for a sheet of
paper, "and I make your personal ex
penses at lease tweniy-iive uonara ween.
This is entirely outside of clothing, but is
money as good as thrown away, it is a
sad thing, Mr. Bowser a very sad thing
to have a wasteful and extravagant wifel
That's nil this evening, but wo will have
another talk soon. There are several other
things I want to speak about!"
For an hour after she went up stairs to
bed Mr. Bowser sat thinking. Had tho
other Mrs. 15owser, who used to submit to
everything without talking bock been laid
awny in her grave, nnd was this his second
wife? Hud it nil come about while he was
in a sort of trance? The worm had turned
on him once before, but be flattered him
self that it was a sort of an accident. This
was the second time, nnd he had to admit
that ho hail come out second best, lie
finally rose up with a long drawn sigh,
turned out tho gas and said to himself, as
he crept up stairs:

hardly make his way through tne tangle.
When the trees are not convenient fence
rails, hoards, limbs and brush aro used.
The ob ject Is to check and hold the enemy
under lire.
See what a hell trap we have set in front
of our 500 men! There nre stakes driven
into the earth at an angle and then sharp
cned. They are bound together with tele
graph wire, nnd two strong men cannot
pull one out of place, t or clunking" we
have used the branches of wild plum trees
and the blackberry bushes from along the
fence. You could not drive wild horses
over such nn abatis. A stampeding herd
of buffalo would break it down, but there
would be a winrow of dead and wounded
piled up before it.
The hell trap has been ready lor two
hours when the prey appears. Our line has
been strung out to the left until there are
weak spots. This looks like one of them to
tho enemy who is searching. The lay of
tho ground hides the abatis from his view
and he can see only that part of the breast
work running over the hill. e have uo
artillery here. Weeaii see the men plainly
as they form for n charge. The intervals
between the bodies as they swing into posi
tion proves that there are four regiments.
They leave the cover of tho woods as stead
ily as if ou parade, and it is a handsome
sight to see tueru advance.
Tho ordir runs along our line to nom
our fire until they lire checked by the
hell trap. They know that our battle
line is here, but they cannot see a
man of us. They are within easy musket
range when the order is given to charge,
and they advance with yells unu uurraus,
Had we been in double line without pro
tection that living wedge would have
driven its wny through us to the rear of
the armv. Not a shot was fired until they
had recoiled from the abatis. It broke
their formation at ouce and they wero a
mob after that. Some flung dowu their
muskets and sought to pull up the stakes;
others fired standing there exposed; some
there were who broke back to the rear, but
these were ftv in number.
We called H war then, and next day our
skeleton regiment was complimented in
general orders for having saved the left
wing. As one remembers it now he half
fears to bo charged with murder. They
were brave men. but they had no show,
The jaws of the hell trap held officer and
private fast while the muskets under the
head logs flamed and cracKleu and sent
death Into the confused and helpless crowd
They ought to have had the order to fall
back at onr lirst volley, Out it was not
given. Again and again and again uie reu
names leaped almost Into their laces, ami
hv ami bv. when the lifting smoke dis
closed them scattering bac we rose up
and cheered. They believed it was for the
victorv we had won. but it was not so. It
was a tribute to their bravery and endur
a lice a shout of rejoicing that the jaws of
tho hell trap had opened to spare some of
them a little longer.
And when thesmoke had entirely cleared
and we looked down over that abatis the
sight was something to make the oldest
veteran shudder. The dead and wounded
ten dead to one wounded were lying In
heaps, three or four upon each other.
There were rivulets of blood running over
tho short, green grass; there were stains
and spatters of blood over stake and limb
and bush blood and horrible wounds and
dead faces until we who had created the
spectacle turned away in horror.

THE HELL TRAPS OF WAIt.
Tho Terriblci Arabs That Wrought Death
and lrt ruction.
Wo havu n line of breastworks stroll''
enough to stand artillery, and wo have
crowned it with "hend lops. uy turn, is
meant a log so placed that a soldier ran
flro under it while it protects his hend.
Where there nro head Ioks men kneel and
Areata dead rest, and four bullets out of
five strike a human tnritct. A regiment
thus sheltered will check nnd drive back
three times Its strength. It was done time
and again on both Bides during tho war.
But bloodthirsty wnr was not satisfied
with tho almost perfect Immunity offered
by earthwork and breastwork nnd head
log. It sought for still further advantage,
and found it in that hell trap, the abatis.
If there is a forest iu front the trees are cut
down, tois to the enemy, and the limbs nre
sharpened and interlaced until a fox could
jor in a staneconcli and the major sliced
him. Day before yesterday Mr. Wash
burne walked into TlIK Kl('Ki:i! ofliee, and
the fust tiling ho saw was his missing ear
in a bottle of alcohol along with a gila
grasshopper four inches long. His errand
was lo reclaim his property. Soine. men
would have rushed in and began n I ping
and shouting, but we found Mr. Wash
biirno a perfect, gentleman. lie had
traveled several hundred miles to secure
that, relic, and offered us ten dollars for it.
We removed it from the jar, washed It in a rMd-tttucs
cold water and presented it, to linn with
onr compliments. Ho w.ls profuse ill his
thanks, and we must say that wo have
not hail a more pleasant call in a year. If
any one ever slices his other ear we hope
to get. hold of the relic for the pleasure it
will givo us to restore it after it lias been
well pickled.
iKTTixn IlKTTlil!.-Wc desire to ex
tend our good wishes to tlio editor of
our esteemed .ontemporary, who has
been seriouslv ill for the past two weeks
and Is now rapidly mending, lie hale
ns like rattlesnakes, and if we were
to die. he'd tnakn n hnnliro of his only shirt
to celebrate tho joyful event, but there is
no ill feeling on our part. Wo are rather
sorry for him. Ho ought to have been a
blacksmith instead of an editor, and he
ntiuht to have made use of a war club In
stead of a pistol in his little affairs. We
want, him lo live on. When he is up anil
around ho generally shoots at us once a
day nnd we have missed him of late more
than we ran tell. We sincerely hope and
trust that, within another week he will be
able to resume his pistol practice, lie can't
hit. anybody or anything, but It does him
lots of good to smell powder.
Mkans BlTsmiss. His honor the mayor
(whoisotirsclf) takes this method of in
forming that individual known as "Grizzly
Charley" t hat, he must make a change of
programme or look out for consequences.
The man claims to lie a Montium terror
out on n vacation for his health, nnd It is
his nightly practice to walk up and down
Apache avenue firing his guns and whoop
ing great big war whoops. Ho has an
nounced thnt ho is aching to be tackled,
and his aching will bo satisfied this very
evening if bo appears in his customary
role. His honor will walk up to him nnd
wreck him nt ono fell wrench, and Ids
guns will be sold for the benefit of the poor
fund.
As editor of Till-: KlcKiai wo rather like
"Grizzly Charley's" freo nnd easy wny of
amusing himself, but as mayor of this
town, ejected by the largest majority ever
given a mayor in Arizona, wo have a duty
to Derform. There Is nu ordinance against
promiscuous shooting, and it will be en
forced as long as wo can pull a trigger. We
shall be out this evening looking for the
grizzly. If he appears we'll bet dollars to
cents that ho lias to be curried to uls board
