A Tragic Loaf from the Experience Of
Country Doctor.

A Tragic Loaf from the Experience OF a
Country Doctor.
A country doctor's life is not overlaid with
elder down nor eternally s~prinkled with
fresh rose leaves, says the Pittsburgh Dis
patch.
A few weeks ago DR.. Blank was sum
moned at midnight to a house that stands
some distance from any other, in a rural
district near this city. A stable hand had
been kicked by a horse and lay in a critical
condition. The doctor flung on his clothes,
jumped into a buggy anddrove as fast as he
could through a rain-storm over heavy
roads to the house where the injured man
ay. He had never been to the house
before, but he had heard of Its owners
prediction for savage dogs, and he was
not surprised therefore when be drove up
10 the door to hear baying and barking in
several keys within the house.
After considerable knocking a woman
came to the door and opened it about an
inch to inform the doctor that he'd have to
be very careful about entering, for she
could hardly keep back the dogs.
The doctor is q plucky man, and he re.
sisted the strong desire he felt to get back
into his buggy, The door was opened
enough for him to slide through, and he en-
tored a dimly;lighted hall. In front of him
we're arrayed two large mastiffs, a bulldog
and a greyhound, and between him and
them stood the woman who had let him in.
She was the housekeeper, and she carried
in one hand a lamp and in the other a thick
eudgel.
As he entered the hall all the dogs
plunged for him simultaneously, but the
housekeeper laid about her with the club
and the animals reiterated, bowling savage
ly. He went upstairs At once to the room
where his patient lay, and the housekeepeI
fought with the dogs all the way up, but
succeeded in protecting the doctor.
Coming down afterward, the housekeeper
had the same difficulty with the dogs, and,
as the doctor sprang into the carriage, the
bulldog made a rush for him and planted
his teeth in the Doctors trousers. The
garments were luckily Of cheap and poor
material, and the leg which was in the dog s
mouth gave way.
The doctor was glad to get of so cheaply,
and the bulldog, he thinks, was disguised
at his investment in ar inferior grade of
cloth.
And the best Of it is that the operation he
performed at the risk of being torn to pieces
by a pack Of hounds will never bring a cent
to the doctor. The misery owner of the
dogs simply declines to pay, though the doc
tor vas called by his orders.

HERMOSA.

On Christmas eve an evergreen tree
decked with presents and otherwise
ornamented was displayed to the gaze
of the enchanted young people of Her
mosa. and every one of them found
that Santa Claus had remembered
them. Even the old folks were liberal
ly remembered. The committee con-
sisting of Mesdames Minor and Both
well had managed the affair so that
every one was satisfied. Before the
presentation of presents the children
sang several Christmas carolds and re-
cited poetic and other d~eclamatory
pieces suitable to the occasion, under
the direction of Mrs. Boutwell,. Mr.
Wheeler announced that the presents
would be distributed by the committee
to avoid the usual confusion incident
to recipients crowding around the tree
which method was found to be a great
success. There was a dance after the
presents were distributed which was
kept up until Christmas morning when
every one wished their neighbours a mer
ry Christmas and went home to dream
of glad tidings. enjoyment and peace.
