Selecting q Doctor.

A certain man, who was lately wed,
dwelt in the country far from the
noise of any town. 1t CHANGED one
night that his wife fell sick, and. be-
ing ignorant of the ways of women
folks, he mounted his cart horse and
galloped exceedingly fast toward the
town in search of a skillful leech.
On the road he met gaunt and
withered bag, who asked him:
"Whither so fast, good mani"
ITO get leech for my wife, who is
sick unto death.
Know We how to tell good doc
tori"
NAY, mother, l take the first which
God leadeth me to. "
Whereupon the ancient dame gave
him sprig of Euphrasy, and said
Hold this to thy eyes when thou
lookest at a doctors house, and thou
wilt straightway see the ghosts OF
those who have died from his bung-
ling. Take thou the doctor with the
fewest ghosts.
Thereafter whenever that man came
to a doctors house he held the mystic
nero 10 MS eyes, anu oNNNp'h " IVA
full sight met his clairvoyant gaze;
Around every doctors door shlvered
a CHASTITY crowd of uneasy ghosts, and
what seemed strange to that man, the
larger and more comfortable the
house, the greater were the awesome
troop at the door
Through the deserted streets he gal
loped from doctors house to doctors
house, seeking in vain for one whose
gates were not besieged by uneasy
spirits. AT length, up a quiet lane, lie
espied modest house bearing doc
tors Single, and lol but solitary
ghost sat upon the doorstep.
Here, by Gods grace, quoth the
man. lis the doctor for me.
But little time had passed, ! ween'
before that stout horse was bearing
the man and his physician along inc
road TO the sick woman.
When they were well on toward the
end of their Journey the doctor smiled
a pleasant smile to see, and said;

You can't belieue
some dealers always. They want to
sell the medicine that pays them the
largest profit. What you want to
buy is the one that does you the
most good.
Which one is it?
Sometimes, it may be . matter
of doubt. But, in the case Of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
there's no room for doubt. It's a
matter that can be proved.
With the facts before you, it's
an insult to your intelligence to
have something else offered as
" just as good"
And here's the proof : Among
all the medicines that claim to cure
woman's peculiar weaknesses, irreg-
ularities, and diseases, the Favor.
lite Prescription" is the only one
that's guaranteed.
If it doesn't do all that's claimed
for it, if it doesn't give satisfaction
in every case, you'll have your
money back.

every tired and feeble woman,
health and a new life for every
delicate and ailing woman and If
there's no help, there's no pay.

on the stand that DIR. Sparkling never failed
TO ask If anybody had any complaint to
make, and was always answered in the
negative.
Much is made of the burial Of a patient
In a ''oowpath," but the mayor SAYS
nothing of the evidence that the burial
place has been for years used for smallpox
victims, and Dr. Spariing had done no
more than follow the usual custom
The mayor accepts tho testimony that
pr. SpariinF was guilty Of negligence in
the matter of fumigatlng the Alaska house,
but ignores the fact that the insurance
company. which never pays damages re-
eulting from negligence, examined the
matter and paid the amount claimed.
The mayor recites that DR.. Sparkling
failed to visit a patient from Sunday until
Wednesday. but oyerlooks the testimony
that Dr. Sparkling made visit on Tuesday
and that on Monday another doctor made
the visit.
Throughout the opinion not one word
appears IN commentator or the faithful

MR.. M,GEAW,s DEFAMERs.

The bitter personal attacks which are
being made upon Hon. John II. McGraw,
the Republican candidate for governor, by
the Seattle Telegraph, the Tacoma Ledger
and other Democratic Journals, are alto.
gether unmaniy and contemplate. They
are unm AMY because those who make
them know them 10 be untrue. They are
against gentleman Of the highest honor
and integrity, and are directed against him
for purely partisan purposes. Mr.. John
Collins and Mr.. Fred +. Sander, who
assume the responsibility for the ut
terances OF the Seattle telegraph,
know Mr.. MeGraw to be an honor
able and upright man, a good citizen
and faithful friend. Mr.. Nelson Bennett,
while he has always differed with Nc
Graw politically, has repeatedly asserted
his personal friendship aud esteem for
him, and has often spoken of him in high
terms as man and gentleman. Neither
Mr.. Sander, nor Mr.. Bennett, nor Mr..
Collins. however. hesitates to assaI, in the
hope of obtaining temporary political
advantage, man whose friendship they
have all acknowledged.
Before the people of Seattle, by whom
Mr.. McGrsw Is known and appreciated, he
needs no defense. They know him as a
man of business whose word is never
questioned. They know him as public
spirited citizen who is among the foremost
in every movement for the benefit of his
city, county or state. They know him as
man Of large heart and generous IN
stincts. whose purse Is ever opened at the
cry Of distress. and who never turns his
back upon the needy. They know him as
faithful public official who did not
finch or wayer in his duty under the most
trying circumstances. They know him
for all that he is, aud they are proud to
slaim him as one Of Seattie's citizens.
1t is only where Mr. McGraw is not
.nown that the attacks made upon him
IAN have any effect: and even there their
sffect will be small. for manliness, courage
and honor are not TO be blotted out by the
stroke of filthy pen.
