The summer is the time of the year
when newly-graduated doctors and out
of-town practitioners get a chance to
work in the city. 1t has become quite
the custom for medical me bound on
vacation to hold their patronage to-
gether by getting bright young grad
yates or acquaintances from the coun-
try to look after the less serious cases
Of illness on their call books, the COM
plicated ones, Of course, going to some
resident friend Of experience. The
rural physician particularly rejoices in
the opportunity to take Substitute
practice" as it is called. By SO doing
he really gets a vacation and sees the
town, always at no cost, and often
with profit, professionally and finan-
cially.

PEOPLE who, when visiting the city,
are appealed to, late at night, to as
sist distressed women in getting sick
or drunken husbands 'to our home
just around the corner should act
with circumspection, and, if possible,
turn the task over to a policeman. In
almost every case the man and woman

aids an incapable male to the nearest
open hallway will learn very shortly
that his money and watch are missing.

When he had been in Washington
three days he lad selected a home,

years has been chosen by the diplo-

A GREEDY CABMAN.
How the Impecunious Young Man Got
Out of Paying for His Drive.


No thought of dishonesty has ever In
Vaded the mind Of youth, who by dInt of
energy and diplomacy has frequently been
able to ''stave OFF, importune creditors
and to accomplish many things that
to a more common mind would have
appeared difficult. II not Impossible.
All who are familiar with his exploits will
remember how he had his white flannel
tennis trousers dyed black that he might
complete his dress suit ana attend recep-
tioD. and how he was so strangely affected
by the service of French waiter-who
brought fingeT-bowls to match the dress OF
the impeeunlOus young mans cousin-that
he gave his last coin to the waiter. His
relatives and business and professional as
socates have depl0red his lack of s'business
ability" Yet, while his friends and asso-
ciates have seotfed at him. the impecunious
young man has not changed his course.
Not repentant word has passed his lips,
not a sigh has he breathed for lost oppor-
tunitieS that might have brought wealth to
him.
His latest escapade saved him large ex-
penditure for cab hire. The impecunious
young man Is the last person in the world
who would think # taking advantage of a
''night-hawk" cab-driver. Yet he did so
unintentionally on a recent morning. He
had been out late, and when he called a ca b
at o'clock In .he morning he was a trfie
confused. NO. - University place" said
he to the cabman. 1t seemed only minute
later when he WAS in front OF his house.
1hrusting his right hand into his pocket he
found to his CONSERVATION that he had only a
few small coins; the cabman wanted So 30.
But the iInpecunious young man did
not hesitate an instant He would not
disturb the whole house to get the ca abman' 5
money, but decided to enter the house to
look through the everyday clothes for the

FIVE NOBLE DOGS.
Their Memory Perpetuated
in Marble.
CANINE GRAVES KEPT GREEN
Pets of Railroad Men Buried Within
the Sound of Passing
Wheels.

1t is not often that dogs memory is
perpetuated in marble and his grave kept
green. Such a lot falls only on hero in
the canine race, and although there may be
many such heroes in life they are seldom
thought of after they have gone.
Beside the Toundhouse of the Park and
Ocean Railroad lie five OF these heroes, and
over their well-kept graves are marble
slabs telling of their virtues.
At the top of one slab is a representation
of three dogs guarding safe. and under it
these words are engraved in gilt letters:
Erected by The employees OF the Halght-street
cable-car line aud The Park ana Ocean Railroad
10 the memory OF their three dogs, JACK, FidO
and Tip.
In life they were Intelligent noble and affec-
tlonate. They were cruelty poisoned by burg
lars on the morning Of March 8, 1891, aud nOby
peIlshed al lie post of duly.
Jack, Fido and Nip. ffat ed { rec
Poor dead ayfellOwS sad bequest;
Faithful 10 the last, now you're free,
sleep on forever, peaceful be your rest
On small slab next 10 the big one is an
empty dog kennel cut in the marble, and
under il are the words:
Jack. Gone. but NOT forgotten.
The third slab calls to memory one Of the
hest known railroad dogs in California
There were few men on the Southern Pacific
who did not know old Mig" black spaniel.
When the road was being built Mig would
travel back and forth from the offices at the

corner of Fourth and Townsend streets to
the farthest point of construc tion. and for
eleven years afterward he was always TO he
found with some OF the engineers In the cabs
of the locomotives. Il was said he under
stood the workings of a train as well as the
most experienced engineer or conductor.
When the Park and Ocean Railroad was
built Mig was with the construction gang.
and in his old age he seemed TO prefer the
little line to his former haunts and made up
with Engineer Sparks, who ran the first
train over the road. The engineer and the
dog were constant companions for about a
year, when Mig fell off the forward platform
Of a car and was killed.
His memory is perpetuated by an oval
slab on which are the words:
In memory OF our old dog Nig accIde nially
killed April p, 1884. Intelligent and brave.
Jack, one of the dogs poisoned, was the
regular mal-carrer for the Cliff House. BE
was a Newfoundland. and when the train
went out carrying the mall Jack would
board it. At the ocean end of the line the
letters and papers for the Cliff House would
be given to Jack, who would race for all he
was worth with them to their destination
and deliver them to the clerk. After re-
ceiviBg his reward in the way of a bone, he
would scamper back and catch the train
before it left on the return trip. He was
the recognized mail-carrer there for four
years, and his small monument is thought to
be well deserved.
