A DYING GIRLS REQUEST.
How Easily sir MoreII Mackenzie's
Sympsthies Were Affected.
London Cablegram

Sympsthies Were Affected.
London CabIegram
Probably no physician ever died in Lon
don who had so many warm personal friends
and so many bitter professional enemies as
the late Sir Morell Mackenzie. He came by
both honestly. lie was a hard fighter, with
all the courage of his convictions, and be
had faculty Of winning the affection and
confidence Of his patients, that has rarely
been eXeelled in the practice Of his profess
sion.
He was Of the gentlest and kindest nature,
which was displayed alike whether his pa
tient was of royal blood or the object of his
charity, for Sir M0rell, overwhelmed as he
was with engagements to treat the greatest
and wealthiest people in the land, never
turned away the hunIblest and poorest suf-
ferer who came to his door. lie charged
enormous fees TO the rich; he would not ac-
cept money from the poor.
A touching story, illustrating his kindness
of heart, is related in one of the news
papers. Into one of the hospitals to which
he gave portion of his time each week was
brought q wTetched little working girl who
had attempted to commit suicide by swat
lowing caTbolic acid. Sir MOrell attended her
day after day, but her case was hopeless, and
she was finally sent to her home in the East
End slums to die. Shelingered on for two or
three weeks and all her thoughts and con-
veTsatiOn were Of the great physician who
had tended her so carefully and treated her
so kindly. AS her final moments drew near
she begged that some one would go to her
Doctor" as she termed him and bring him
to her bedside. So mpOrtunate were her
entreaties that city missionary who visited
her daily ventured 10 call on Sir MOreil and
tell him of the dying girls request.
Can l do anything for her?" asked DR..
Mackenzie.
NO" said the missionary; 'she is past
human aid, but your presence would give
her untold comfort"
"Pll CO." said DR.. Mackenzie, and be put
aside all other engagements, went five miles
to an East End tenement-hOuse, sat down
by the girls bedside for an hour, suggested
one or two simple alleviations. called her
my dear" and left her with two or three
bank notes sqneeZed up in her hand.

well you don't have to have patent

yourself with wet sponge and q little vas

BY this means you save SO in nlckels for

Yes, see. Is that why you wear that

your hair grow long, dropping on your coat

THE TRAPPER's FUNERAL.

In the frontier wiids afar.
Where the Indian hunters roam,
Meath the golden light Of the western star,
In the trapper's mountain home.
Away by the rugged hills,
Where the eagle guards his nest
And cataracts leap down a hundred rilis,
We laid Joe Breeze to rest.
He died-as lie the brave
In his boots with harness red,
And we made for the hero a hunters grave,
by the mountain torrents bed.
No preacher with sacred book,
No priest with auOiuted STOLE
Approached the grave by the rock-bound brook
Wiki a mass for the trapper's soul.
We llsped no words OF prayer,
We sang no hymn Of praise,
Ashe lay like a lion at rest in his lair
Rest after his hunting days.
We tolIed no solemn bell,
Yet tile dewdrops seemed to weep,
And the song bird sang his funeral knen
As We laid him there 10 sleep
The pine trees around us grew,
Like sentnels ON guard
And the crocus peeped with eyes OF blue
Through the messy mountain sward
Let him rest from cares and fears,
Where the hunters smoothed his bed
When our eyes o'rTfowed with resistless tears,
Wept over our comrade dead.
He sleeps ia the hUntlng-ground,
On the baak OF the puring uyer;
Calm be his rest aud his sleep profound
10 his mountaln grave forever.

is closed to him, George finds position in

A HORSES MAD FREAK.
He Tears a Fur Cape or a Woman Pass
ing Along the Street.



The queer actions Of a horse attached to
an awnug-pOst on Market street, between
Eleventh and Twelfth, drew an excited
crowd 10 the spot for a few minutes. The
animal was tied with very long rein,
which fact seemed to prove the confidence
Tep05Ud in it by its owner, and un ii the mo-
meut OF q remarkable Outburst Of vicious
ness on the part Of the creature nothing IN
its appearances would have been taken to
indicate anything but an amiable DISPOSE
ton. The sudden change was caused by
the approach from the direction of Twelfth
street Of lady wearing a l0ng-haired fur
cape. When tie lady was yet dozen
steps away the horse raised its head with
snort and pointed its ear, toward her.
AS she nearei the spot where the horse
had been fastened the animal manifested
great excitement, and, throwing itself back
a trlile, made wild plunge upon the pave
ment, scattering the pedt strians In every
direction. But the creatures purpose was
apparently fixed, for strainlng its tether TO
the utmost limit it just succeeded in grasp
ing by its long hair the lady's cape. As the
horse backed off toward the street, taking
with ii the cape and It's owner, the wearer
uttered scream after scream. until presently
tie fastening gave way, and the badly
frightened woman was released She lost
no time in placing herself at a safe distance,
the animal meantime backing off the pave
ment and carrying with il the cape, which
was dropped al It's feet when the street was
reached. The cape was restored TO its
owner and the horses tether shortened so

Who came to this Coast with his family In
1876, is so identified with the club that bears
his name that to think of one is to recall
the other. Mr.. LoTing, who is from Boston,
is an original member of the Chickerlng
and Apollo clubs of that city. He at once
saw the need Of a similar club here and
went actively at work to establish one. Ia
appreciation of this he was unanimously
chosen as director and his name used 10 des-
ignate the new society. The club was
founded in 1876 and Mr.. Loring has held the
position every since, devoting much OF his
time to the cause and always gratuitously.
The first public rehearsal Of the club was
given in old Mercantile Library Hall on the
evening of March 3, 1877. Mr. LOring has
been here since his first arrival without in
terruption, with the exception of a short
trip East at one time. He has been en-
gagged in different pursuits and always con-
nected with most leading banking-hOuses
He is pleasant, courteous gentleman, who
is always happy when extending hospitality
