That he has continued to do this in stead of having been burned at the stake or scalped or tomahawked by one of Sitting Hull's warriors is due to the fact that, when Custer crept upon that peaceful-looking Sioux vil lage on the memorable day in June, he selected Martin to carry dispatches to Major Marcus A. Reno and F. W. Benteen. commanding the other two divisions of the troop. In these dis patches they were ordered to join Cus ter at once." On January 1. 1904.

The Force Divided. After having described how Custer's command was divided into three bodies one umUr Reno, one under Benton and the other under Custer Martin tells of the discovery of the village and the subsequent events. "We came up the banks of the Lit tle Big Horn, across the waters of which we could see a village of sev eral hundred tepees." he said. Then, in a quaint manner of expressing him self, he continued: '"Custer called his officers up. "Men." he said, pointing to the village, the streets of which were deserted save for an occasional stray cur. half-naked child or bent old wo man 'men. we've got a soft snap.

Where 1 f?uftf I Rupture is one of the many Chronic Diseases requiring skill and experi ence for its proper treatment. Xot only is it a source of constant pain, but if neglected or improperly treated it completely disables and incapaci tates one, render- ing them unable to stand the least physical exertion. Unskilled treat ment is dangerous for it only aggra vates the trouble and makes the pa tient worse. No matter how com petent your fam ily physician may be, there are many diseases which he cannot treat satis factorily for the reason that he has not the time nec essary to devote to research of Chron ic Diseases, nor has he had the ex pf.rience in treating them which is absolutely necessary in order to en able him to understand them thor oughly. Xo other physician in the United States has treated as many cases of rupture as I have, and the superior ity of my special plan of treatment is demonstrated in every case I under take. I do not rely upon the old-time, slow and tortuous methods so long in vogue, but I have originated a thor oughly modern scientific plan which is prompt and certain in results, in even the most severe cases. It is absolute ly painless and does not involve the horrors of the knife or other danger ous treatment relied upon by other doctors. Write me for symptom blanks which explain fully how I can cure you at your own home. J. NEWTON HATHAWAY, M. D., 29 Inman Building, 22 1-2 S. Broad St., Atlanta, Ga. Dr. HATHAWAY Recognized as the Oldest Establish ed and Most R el i a b I e Specialist. the deep study and CURED OF RHEUMATISM. For the benefit of suffering hu- inanity I desire to state that I suffered severely with Muscular O e and Sciatic Rheumatism for five -years. During this time I tried 9 several so-called remedies as well as the prescriptions of several ft physicians, which afforded me G very little, if any, relief. The rain 9 in my back, hips and legs was agonizing and almost unbearable. a I could hardly walk and thought I would have to abandon all busi- ness. w A mend advised me to buffaloes.' He thought this because wo bad come across hundreds and hun dreds of bison lying slaughtered on the plains the day before. 'We will go down there, take possession of the camp and fall upon the red men when thev return, worn out with hunting.' Went Forward With a Hurrah. "The men all waved their caps and gave three rousing cheers. Custer had a. consultation with his otlicers. and then, calling me. he borrowed paper and pencil from Adjutant Cook. and. writing this message. 'Join me at once, bringing the pack trains.' told me to find Reno and Benteen and deliver the papers to them. "It was a hard ride. Benteen was r,00 miles away and the country was rough. Toward the end of it my mount was mortally wounded by the bullet from an Indian's Winchester, the Indian lying in ambush. But I wouldn't let the animal stop. I pushed him on the rest of the day. and when I awoke after a few hours' sleep the next morning the animal was stiff. Trip Concluded On Foot. "The remaining few miles were cov ered on foot and I reached Benteci only shortly before .Major Reno came dashing up. calling to the Captain to come to his rescue for God's sak". a he had been ambushed and had let. 1j dead men and 2 officers upon the field, besides a number of wounded. When v, e readied the scene of this engage ment te.e Indians had fled and the two 1'ivisions joined and pressed on to ward Custer. We arrived upon a bluff at the head of a narrow ravine, down which Custer had gone, to see the river bank simply swarming with the naked, grotesquely painted forms of Sitting Bull's fighting men. Of Cus ter's soldiers we could not discover so much as a little blue cap. We after ward learned that the Indians, who had been hidden in the heavy timber bordering the river on -the side on which our men had halted, had fallen upon them just as they were about to cross. Formed a Square. "But we were given little time to think, as the enemy pressed upon us immediately. Retreating to higher ground we formed a square, in the center of which the supplies were placed, and awaited the attack. It came and we got enough of it. For two days and two nights -we fought thus, losing men every hour and constantly seeing in imagination the time draw near when we would be burned at the stake or feel that nasty gripping at our hair. "At last, on the morning of the third cay. when the sun was just beginning to put little red streaks in the sky. we heard a great whirling and rolling in our rear. At first we thought that the number of our besiegers was to be swelled, and it didn't sound nice. Have you ever been on a plain in the early morning with a lot of savages Li front who are itching to cut your throat, and heard the beat of the horses of reinforcements galloping, galloping, galloping nearer and nearer every minute, with a roar which swells as it grows closer, until it seems to in gulf you in a hurricane of sound? That's what this turned out to be. and I'll tell you it was sweet music to our ears. It was General Gibbons with reinforcements, and the Indians were driven back." Was In Other Brushes. Martin was in several "brushes," both before and after this, but in none of them was he in so much peril, and he does not remember the others so vividly. Through all his 3U years of service, and his seven enlistments, he lias not received a wound, and today he is the same compactly built little Roman, standing 5 feet 6 inches be fore the inspecting surgeon, that he was when he first enlisted in the Hud son street recruiting office, New York, in 1874. After his first enlistment had ex pired he came East and joined the Third Artillery at Fort Schuyler, X. Y. While there he married a Miss Julia Higgins, who. with the eight children born to them, now lives at 1321 Hull street, this city. Here Nearly Fifteen Years. With the exception of once, when the Seventh Cavalry was sent to Cuba, in 19o0, Martin has been in the ar tillery corps. Then he joined his old command for a short time, but was forced to ask for a transfer on account of bad health. He has been at Fort Mcllenry continuously for nearly 15 years. Among his most prized possessions are parenments irom ins old com manders, one of them from Major Peter Leary, testifying to his excel lent record, references to himself in magazines, and the old saber he car ried when following Custer. He was born the son of a house and sign painter in old Rome, and his martial ambition is said to have been fired by beating a drum in a boys' drum corps in the Eternal City. Chic?cio Woman Tries To Stab HnrihanH In Court. Chicago. March 10. Exerting all her strength in an effort to release herself from the grasp of two detectives and plunge a hatpin into the throat of her husband, who. fearing for his life, ran from the room. Mrs. Clara Solomon struggled fiercely on the floor of the crowded courtroom in Justice Prindi ville's court, at the Harrison Street Police Station, today. "Leave me alone. I'll kill him if I die the next minute!" screamed the woman, and jerking a hatpin from her hat she sprang toward hor frightened spouse. The latter in his haste to get cut of her reach leaped over a railing and ran out into the street. Then tiTe wo man, still screaming, was picked off her feet by the detectives and carried into another room, where she fainted. The exciting incident occurred at a time when the courtroom was throng ed with spectators and was the sequel to a charge of wife abandonment, upon which Mrs. Solomon had had her hus band. Arthur. 131 G Vernon avenue, ar rested. Previously she had threatened to end his life unless lie aided in the suport of their two children, whom she alleged, he had sadly neglected. "His folks are rich and I am poor." the woman said, "but he shall support our children cr I'll kill him." Mrs. Solomon is 21 years old and was married to her husband five years ago. The case in court was dimissed by .lustii e Prindiville. he advising the wife to seek the aid of Judge Carter, in the County Court.

A guaranteed cure for Eczema and all blood and skin diseases. The therapentic value of sulphur is too generally knowrn and too widely recognized to enter into a long history or explanation of it here. Sulphur in a powdered form for many years has been prescribed by physicians in all parts of the world for a great variety of ills mankind in heir to. Owing to its insolubility 110 one bas ever been able to apply it in sufficient strength to bring into action a hundredth part of its power. By the late discovery of Hancock's Liquid Sulphur all obstacles hereto fore encountered have been removed in obtaining in a liquid the fuii strength and effectiveness of sulphur. If sulphur is a specific, then one can very readily see why the liquid must be much more beneficial, as the skin absorbs it the instant it is applied. At tne present day authorities on skin diseases concede and have dem onstrated that skin diseases of every nature are caused by microscopic germs, baccilli, bacteria, microzyme, or other forms of animal decomposi tion. Hancock's Liquid Sulphur ar rests animal decomposition in every form, and is an absolute destroyer of all germs in such diseases as ecsema, tetter, pimples, acne herpes, salt rheum, ringworm and open suppura ting sores.
