"Castoria is an excellent medicine for chil-
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its
good effect upon their children."
Dr. g. c. Osgood,
Lowell, Mass.
" Castoria is the best remedy for children of
whidl X am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the
real interest of their children, and use Castoria
instead of the various quack nostrums which
are destroying their loved ones, by forcing
opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other
hottful agents down their throats, thereby
: them to premature graves."

Castoria.
" Castoria is so well adapted to children that
I recommend it as superior to any prescription
known to me."
H. A. Archer, M. D„
hi So. Oxford St, Brooklyn, N. Y.
" Our physicians in the children's depart-
ment have spoken highly of their experi-
ence in their outside practice with Castoria,
and although we only have among our
medical supplies what is known as regular
products, yet we are free to confess that the
merits of Castoria has won us to look with
favor upon it."

The greatest liar in the whole
Rooky mountain region is old man
Duffy, a celebrated character around
Denver for 30 years or more. He
wears a tile of the vintage of 1847,
and his general pastime is to enter-
tain one lunged tenderfeet who
lounge about the apartment hotels.
He is an antiquated Ananias run to
seed, whose wife runs a boarding
house on Champa street and doesn't
allow him around in the daytime. A
lifelong application to whisky of all
kinds has given his face the color of
a tainted beefsteak, and his eyes
would disgrace a dissipated mud
turtle. His voice is coarse and hus-
ky, conveying the impression tiiat
its owner has spent many years
down a well. This old caricature
poses as a one time desperado and
the hero of countless imaginary ex-
periences to these gaping, wonder-
ing sons of the effete east, who give
him all he can drink to hear him
talk, and who believe implicitly ev-
ery word he utters.
Old Ananias was sitting the other
day at a table with two convales-
cents, who were listening to him
with open mouths and close atten-
tion. "Did you ever hear tell of Jim
Bloodsoe? They called him Trigger
Jim. He was one of the worst men
ever in this country. His range was
from Gray's peak to Denver, and he
run that country to suit his own
self. I was a he wling coyote myself
in them days. I heard of Jim. I sent
him word to Central City I was com
ing up to tame him; that I wouldn't
bring no gun, as I didn't need it to
tame such a lamb as he was. I run
considerable chances in this busi-
ness, for I went right up and took
nothing but my bowie. You know
how Central City's built, don't you?
There's a big street running from
Black Hawk up a hill, for a mile. 1
looked for Jim all up this hill every
where and didn't find him. I begun
to think he wasn't around, when
way up on the hill I run slap into
him before I knew it. He was laying
for me and had me covered with a
six shooter before I could get a knife.
"I started to run and figured to a
dot when he shot. Ashe cracked
loose I jumped way up in tbe air and
did a split just like what those show
gals does, only mine wasn't on the
ground by six foot. The bullet went
under me. I knew he had five more
cartridges, so I hit the ground run-
ning, and squatted low down when
his gun barked the second time.
That bullet took off my hat and sent
it spinning 40 feet in front of me. I
was to it in a second, and as I stooped
the third shot come. It hit me just
on top the lowest end of my spinal
column, and plowed up a streak of
meat clear to the nape of my neck.
I was running like the devil right
down the middle of the main street,
and him right after me.
"There wasn't a soul in sight; ev-
erybody run in his hole at the first
beginning of things. I never lost
track of the number of shots, though,
and had my fingers on the bowie.
Next fire I jumped sidewise, and the
bullet hit my hind pocket and scat-
tered a deck of monte cards all over
creation. At the fifth crack I made
a cat a cornered whirligig sort of a
jump, and got a hole in my coattail
Only one more shot left. Just in
time I took another straight up
jump, only I forgot to do the split
this time, and the bullet took away
three of my toes. I turned while up
in the air, and was on to him before
he could stop himself. The coroner
found 42 outs in him, all done in 4?
seconds.
"My best reoord, gentlemen. I had
a hat, coat and pair of boots ruined,
and had lost a dock of cards and
three toes. I was mad, and I took
and pried out his eyeballs, put 'on
in my pooket and departed. I had
them stuck into a stuffed mountain
lion that I had choked to death one
day, and, with them eyes, he was
the savagest looking beast you ever
saw. Had a sort of human cannibal
look about him. I just want to show
you my foot; so you see for your-
selves, gentlemen." And An»ni<m
took off his shoes and put his naked
foot up on top of the tableas a veri
iication of his statements. Sure
enough, three toes were missing.
This was a clincher.—Denver Field
and Farm.
