IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.


| Tho Boy Whom the Girl Refused be
comes q Great Man In After Life.
A fashionable physician told me an In
teresting experience the other day. Thirty
years ago he was boy In one Of the vii
lagos near New York. Like most lads Of
his age he had a sweetheart, with whom
he used to attend prayer meetings, parties
and other affairs. Like some other village
maidens. this maid vas capricious, and
one fine day she coolly gave him the go-by
for some other fellow. To add insult to
injury she badgered him about his pros
poets, and asked tauntingly what he was
going to do when he grew up to be q man.
Oh! he was going to be doctor, and .
great doctor. She laughed and said con-
temptuously, as only wicked, heart break
ing girls can, that he'd never amount to
much, because her mother had told her
that he was very stupid.
.Well, that's all right" responded our
doctor, grimly. You'll hear from me
some day, because am going to mako .

word. He became a famous doctor and at

In the United States. He rose constantly

ten his village maid when one day not 80
asking II he was the same person she had
known as boy. He replied courteously,
but without unnecessary words, that he
was. About two weeks later the lady
called ON him at his Office She was gray
haired and matronly.
She had seen his name hundreds OF times
in the public prints, but had supposed that
Il must be some one other than her former
admirer. Then she asked would he do her
a favor. Her husband had had reverses,
and was at present sort OF demented
paralytic. She was too poor to provide for
him, and had vainly tried to have him ad
mitted to one Of the hospitals for incur.
ables The doctor gave her note to the
superintendent ofthe hospital, with which
he happened to be connected, that was
tantamount to an order for the admission
OF the patient. Two months after, the
husband died In the institution and tho
widow called to thank the doctor for his
services.
A tear glistened in her eye, and with q
deep sigh she limited at how different things
might have been IL her mother hadn't for
hidden her to have anything more to do
with the stupid village lad. The doctor,
who saw the ticklish ground the widow
was treading, rapidly changed the subject,
and soon after bowed the lady out with
much dignity to receive one Of his high
priced patients. But he was very absent
minded, and shocked his new caller con-
siderably by the diffident manner in which
be asked after her symptoms. His mind
was with the Hudson river village girl Of
thirty years ago.-New York Star.

that under the Christian dispensation one

after that we progressed quite comfort

$50 things went on for five perfect
months. We'd wake in the morning and
wonder if IL wasn't all a dream, we were
so blamed comfortable. But our own in

cocted the most villainous brew that ever
passed mortal lips. The whole island got
drunk, then got sober again and demanded
more.
Now it was Dicks turn to have an idea.

he exclaimed, but I'd like to get where l

We launched n small fishing boat, by q
miracle got outside the reefs and breakers
and were picked up nearly dead three days
afterward by the tramp clipper ship Vel

that glorious island-the stately trees, the
gorgeous birds, the roar of the surf. the
sweet voices of the women, the considerable
and brotherly kindness of the men. the
charm of the isolation that shut US out
from the scheming world and yet gave us
full view OF the splendors of the universe.

Is it Fast Enough !?

A firm desired to send out 500 circu-
lars, and concluded to have them take
the form Of type written letter, printed
OH their own letter head. In eight
minutes, the type writer had written
the letter OF SIG words, on the stencil
sheet, placed it in the Monograph, linked
the sheet and printed the first copy, and
in exactly 80 minutes 500 perfect copies
OF that letter were printed. This astonish-
ing result can only be obtained by the
aid of first.claus duplicating device. In
this case it cost the firm just 81 cents to
do the work. AS the~copies can be
struck off on any quality of paper it will
be an easy matter to calculate the cost
of getting out 500 circulars. The value
of such device as the EDISON MIMEo-
GRAPH is best appreciated by those who
wish to do large amount of work in a
short space OF time. This circular was
an ordinary every day letter, and not
made up for the purpose OF showing
speed.-"THE RooK-KEEPER."
