After Being Drained of Eighteen Ounces Gets Up nnd Walks. A New York dispatch says: Handi capped physically by the fact that for days he had been stowed away in a freight car and had suffered acute hunger, on a trip from Baltimore, his home. Benjamin F. Hill, in the Pres byterian Hospital, gave an exhibition of stamina which astounded the sur geons. "Broke," as he termed It, the young man gave for just $10 approx imately 18 ounces of his blood tobe injected into the veins of a patient. Hill was told, optimistically, that perhaps In four days after his vital fluid had been extracted he would be able to walk and return to his pres ent lodgings in the Mills Hotel. For more than an hour young Hill lay still on his back on the operating table. Then, with an exclamation of dis gust at his enforced inactivity, he arose unassisted and practically giv ing medical theories a slap in the face and Ignoring the protests of the doctors, walked out. As Hill took his f.rst steps in the little operating room after the tube connecting his artery with an artery in the right arm of the patient had been discon nected, the patient turned and made some incoherent remark. Hill looked at the form on the op erating table and saw a hand thrust toward him. He grasped lt and pressed it warmly, though silently. Then Hill walked up to a car and rode down town, where he met a friend. Hill's home is in Baltimore. The patient's name was not given. Despite the heroic treatrrjent ad ministered and the tremendous vital ity of Hill's blood, the patient died. The surgeons in several other hos pitals loamed of Hill's getting up and walking off. They declared lt was one of the most remarkable In cidents they had ever heard of. They Take the Kinks Out. "I have used Dr. King's New Life Pills for many years, with increasing satisfaction. They take the kinks out of stomach, liver and bowels without fuss or friction," says N. H. Brown, of Pittsfield, Vt. Guaranteed satis factory at all drug stores. 25c. Freshet Invaded Indian Graves.

Tabernacle, was visiting his friend, Charles Drunun, who lives on Catawba river, nenr Lockhart Shoals, a few days ago, and while there saw the result of the recent ruthless Catawba freshet In opening the graves of Ca tawba Indians. Mr. Smith has a little string of "wampum" which Mr. Drumm gave him. lt consists of heads, nrnde by the Indians themselves, and used by them as money. The beads are mostly wnlte, with four lines marked on each. Some of them are solid hine and some solid white. Though washed out of graves, they still re tain a fine gloss. Other things waslied up were skel etons, cooking utensils, rude grain mills and tomnnyhawks. The river In Its wild, ghoulish mood must havo Invaded an Indian burying ground. This section is the well-known home of the Catawba Indians, a tribo al ways friendly to the whites. WANTED.-Second hand bags and burlap; any kind, any quantity, any where; we pay freight..
