It Usually Requires b Big Fec to Get
Him Out OF Bed Nights.
"In the summer of 1875 was So
journing with friend for few weeks
in little fishing village on the coast Of
Maine," says correspondent of the
Detroit Free Press. Zone night my
friend was seized with sudden and
painful illness. which neoessitated nv
summoning the only doctor in the
village, who lived on farm a mile
distant from our hotel, and who COM
bined agriculture with the practice Of
medicine. Iaroused the sleeping physi-
clan with some difficulty and stated my
errand but despite my opportunities
he fatty refused to leave his home, as
1t was against an infexible rule to
leave his home at night, no matter how
urgent the call. However, he gener-
ously consented to compound a mixture
with which l hastened back to the
hotel, where I found my friend racked
with pain and pleading for medical
attendance. I again traversed the
road to the doctors house and thun-
dered at the door, determined to force
or bribe the pill compounder from his
domicile. When the identity of the
intruder was discovered the usually
placid physician became irate and
somewhat abusive. In vain I urged
the necessity Of the visit and pleaded
the cause of humanity. Finally
offered any fee, in or out of reason, he
might demand. This gradually soft
ened him. and looking at me critically
to see the full effect of his words he
said: Young man, if l go up there
with you tonight it will cost you a
penny Apprehensive of mammoth
fee, beyond the resources of a compare
lively slender purse. queried some
what timldly: What would you
charge? to which, with the same
quizzical look fixed on my face, the
answer slowly came: If coup there
tonight it will cost you one dollar and
half.
"Joyously consenting to the condition
while concealing my amusement,
hastened home, and by a recital Of the
story put the sufferer in such good
humor that the doctor, on his arrival,
found the patient SO far on the road to
recovery that two visits completed the
restoration. Subsequently I learned
that the fees charged the villagers
during the doctors exclusive practice
among them of four decades had been
fifty cents for calls made after night
fall and but half that sum for visits in
the day time"

CAPTURED BY BABOONS.
The strange Fate of Woman or South
Sea Island.

The strange Fate of a Woman or South
Sea Island.
One Jasper Higgins, mariner, has
told to a reporter strange story of
Mrs. David Parks, the wife of an Amer
husband on an uninhabited island in
the East Indian seas, fingered behind
and disappeared. A long search was
made, and it was decided that she
had been drowned. But Capt. Parks
was not satisfied, and a year later vis-
tied the island and made another
search.
Here is the testimony of Higgins,
who was a member of the searching
party:
"There were numerous large trees in
the vicinity, and we saw the same old
apes eyeing us. Suddenly I saw a
strange form, and called the captains
attention to it. Directly in front of us
was great hollow tree, and by the
cavity stood Mrs, Parks. The captain
gave a shout of Joy and started toward
her. AS he did SO huge baboon swift
ly swung from the limbs and grappled
the poor woman. The captain raised
his carbine and fired as the brute
clutched. We were not over twenty
feet away, but before we could over
come our surprise and reach poor
Mrs. Parks the powerful baboon had
strangled her to death. She never spoke
word from the moment we caught
sight of her.
"Capt. Parks was clean daft. He
grabbed the corpse and cried and kissed
it. Then the wounded baboon stirred.
but my sheathknife soon ended it. The
chattering in the trees was awful, and
fred my carbine at the apes and mon
keys, while the captain cried and kissed
his long lost bride.
"Our firing attracted the remainder Of
the crew and soon they joined us. We
sent to the vessel for a shovel and dug a
grave by the side of the tree where
the poor woman was crushed by her SIM

NEWSPAPER ExiGENCIES.
Many n Man Writes One Thing and
Thinks Another.

"There are few things more interest
ing and enlightening than the talk of
newspaper office, in contradistinction
to the utterances of the journal issued
from it. The men," says the Virginia
New Chronicle, during a political
campaign, for illustration, know most
of the candidates of their party so
well that they become incensed at the
printed view of them. 1t is quite usual
to find that the entire staff of repub-
lican journal has voted the democratic
ticket or vice versa. 1t is their revenge
for the complimentary lying they have
had to do with their pens.
"A few evenings ago an editorial
writer was scratching out lines from
his manuscript and putting others in
and swearing horribly the while both
at his theme and at the managing editor
for having assigned it to him. 1t
was an article about some church move
ment, to be treated in quietly lauda-
tory, sympathetic vein. Yesterday the
editorial writer handed me a letter from
a clergyman thanking the paper in emo
tional terms for it's stand and expressing
joy at such evidence of profound Chris
tian feeling, SO grandly and reverently
voiced. in secular journal. 1t really
was well written-grave, earnest, sim
