Willing To- Pay.

When the subject Of doctors fees is men
toned, a well known physician likes to tell
the story Of u young man who was very IL!
and very poor, to whom he gave unremit-
ting care and finally nursed back to health.
Before he had recovered his strength he
dragged himself leebly to the doctors of
flee and endeayorgd to express his graft
tude, which WIS not greater than his grief
that he had nothing but thanks with which
to repay the debt
Unless" said the young man hestat-
tngly, you would be willing to accept pay
ment in my way"
what is your way2" inquired the doc
tor, with some amusement.
II am a musician by profession" res
piled; the young man. Il teach the flute,
and should like TO give you some lessons
upon it,"
"Ahp exclaimed the doctor thoughtful
ly, 80 you are Il flute player. I'll tell you, "
he said whimscally, Il am too busy a man
TO take lessons on the flute, but suppose
you make yourself comfortable here in the
Office while go my rounds and blow out
the amount You think you owe me-"
The young uan, who appears to have
been of a literal turn of mind, actually took
his beloved flute from its bag and was
about to begin the payment when he
caught the doctors expression and saw that
the suggestion Yves made in joke.
He seemed SO oppressed with gratitude
and anxious to do something" says the
doctor, in telling the story, that let him
play at an entertainment for some poor
children not long after, and if flute playing
has any value he certainly blew out the en-
tire amount of his iudebtness on that Occa-
sion and seemed to be greatly relieved. -

real agent, the successful one isn't a
cheap, long haired creature of chatteriGg
tongue, but bright and cautious man,
who can chat on all topics and who brings
his arguments to bear gradually.
He knows Bulwer and can talk rather
brilliantly of his qualities. He points out
in the sample volume certain beauties Of
Typography and illustration such as might
have been overlooked. Then he shows by
comparison with other editions, of which
you have never heard, that his set is ride
ulously cheap at $12, and the advantage of
the whole thing is that it can be paid for
at the rate of 20 cents Il week! The col
lector will call once month to get the
installment of 81, and in the course of time
tho books will be paid for, and the pur-
chaser will never feel it. D."
That's the great argument.
He will say: You can pay 81 month
and never feel it. Probably you'd spend
the money anyway and not get anything
for it. The first thing you know you will
have your set paid for"
The young man listened to this seduc-
tive talk and was lost He didn't want a
set of Bulwer, it is true, but so long as he
could get it for practically nothing and
pay without "feeling it, he might as well
take advantage of good thing. The books
would be delivered to him on payment of
81, an exhibition of confidence on the.part
of the publishing concern.
The contract read well, and he signed 1t.
One day, a month later, he was leaving
the office when a small man with a rusty
beard stopped him and asked for 81. "Oh,
that set of Bulwer!' said he, feeling in
his pockets Il had forgotten all about
that" But he borrowed 81 and gave it to
the collector. Next month the collector
came just as he was arranging to go to
the theater. If he hadn't paid, he might
have squandered his money for ticket.
The set of Bulwer was thrown back into
his closet, and he repented the purchase,
but the collector came every month, and
he paid the dollar without "feeling it. "
At tho end of six months the set of books
had deprecated in value SO much, in his
own estimation, that he came to regard
the collector as his natural enemy.
But he was never really angry until in
passing secondhand book store one day
no saw duplicate set, as good as new,
marked So. And now he lays the books
along his trousers at night to hold the
Creases.

He Got a Scoop.

''You newspaper men are always look
ing out for scoops, '" said M. 9. Brown
to ST. Louis Globe Democrat reporter,
II once knew q man who got into peck
Of trouble because of q scoop he got. 1t
was in Missouri town where there were
two papers, and where really there was
not room for more than one. A scoop,
therefore, counted for something, and the
lucky editor who got it crowed nightly
over his contemporary. Well, one day
while out squirrel hunting with a small
rife one of tho newspaper men found the
body of a man with q bullet hole in his
head. Both papers went to press next
day. Hore was chance fora scoop He
dragged the body behind a fallen tree, COW
cred it with brush and leaves and then
wrote q two column story about it. The
unpleasant result was that he was arrested
on suspicion of being the murderer. he
alone knew where the body was to be
found, the bullet that caused death fitted
his squirrel gun, and things looked black
for him. The rival paper dwelt on all
these suspicious circumstances at great
length. After my friend had lain in jail
a couple of weeks, bail being refused, evil
donce was discovered which led to his ac-
quittal and ultimate conviction Of the
guilty man"

The Milk of One Rare Cow

Robert Hansborough OF Chillicothe,
O., is the owner of the eighth wonder
of the world, a COW that gives coal black
milk The COW is a mixture of Jersey
and Durham and was raised on the
! Hansborough farm, as was also her moth
er and many sisters, none of whom ex-
hibited any popularity in the color Of
their milk. Mollie, as this phenomenal
creature is called, has reared five or six
calves, all of which have lived and grown
fat on the black milk,
The milk produces fair amount Of
cream. This cream is a trifle lighter in
color than the milk itself, and when
churned makes a kind of butter that re-
sembles a thick mixture of coal tar.
ParadoXical as it may seem, this butter
is as palatable as though of a golden vel
low and it is said to be highly relished
by the whole Hansborough family.
At first, when the peculiar color of
Mollie's milk was discovered by the per-
son to whom was allotted the task of
breaking the COW in" the family was
afraid to use it in any way. When they
saw that the calf was waxing fat on the
nqulu TAR, Ine younger uleuDeIs oI INC
family overcame their prejudices, and
within few days the milk was being
used just the same as if it had been OF
the regulation color.
Chemists of New York, Washington
and Richmond have analysed both the
milk and the butter, but declare that
they can detect nothing that in any way
accounts for its color.-Cor. Chicago

A SUBTERRANEAN OCEAN.

1t Is Believed to Underlie Nebraska, Kan
sas and Indian Territory.
The best scientists of the land favor
the opinion that Nebraska, Kansas and
part of Indian Territory are situated
over an immense underground lake or
sea. 1t is well known fact that in sew
eral places in Kansas whole sections of
land have suddenly disappeared, leaving
only fathomless lakelets to mark the
spot where they were once situated.
Proof that there is something peculiar
with the foundation of the section Of
the country mentioned may be found in
the celebrated tide wells" of Polk,
Butler and ColfaX counties in Nebras-
ka. Polk county is best provided with
these curious wells, having between a
dozen and 20 which roar and ebb and
flow with an unseen tide. The roaring
of these remarkable curiosities-they
cannot be called natural wonders, be-
cause they are the work of man, at least
so far as excavation is cOnccrned-lS
caused by the inhalation and eXhalation
of immense quantities of air. There are
hours, regular and uniform, i'll which
the air will rush out with loud, hiss
ing sound, and again an equal space Of
time in which it seems that all the air
of the Platte valley will be sucked into
the cavernous depths of these wonderful
wells.
The period of this ebb and flow does
not seem to depend upon either the sea-
sons or the state of the weather. but IS
thought to have some mysterious con-
nection with the high and low tide pc
RODS of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
A meteorological of national reputation,
who sought to fathom the mystery Of
the "Platte river tide wells, " and who
issued a little pamphlet with the tito
Roaring Wells of Nebraska" gave it
as his opinion that the roaring phcnom-
enon was i'll some way connected with
the prevailing direction of the wind,
being strongest i'll time Of west or south
west breezes. The farmers in the three
counties mentioned as being best pro-
vided with these tide regulated, air eX-
polling wells believe that the water sup
enough to have u regular ebb and flow
of tide. All the wells in the counties Of
Polk and Butler which are tide regulat-
ed are Of about the same depth, those
of COlfaX being deeper, but all extend
