WHAT CHANGE
How a Plot to Do Injury
Was Frustrated.
The Prejudioes of 20 Years Ago Swept
Away by the Light Of Reason.

When we look back over SO short
period as 20 years ago and see the things
today, people are amazed at the changes.
a quarter of century ago when one
was sick with fever and craved drink
OF cold water he was refused it by So
called best physician He would lie in
bed and surfer until he got relief, but 1t
generally came in the shape of dealt
Many of them would bewith US today if we
had known as much about treating fever
then as we do now. Instead of giving
them what they craved and needed we
gave them drugs which often destroyed
their stomachs. If at that time one had
gore against the advice of the physician
and relieved the sufferer with a cold
drink of water he would have been con-
sidered the greatest criminal of the age.
What a great change to now and in so
short time.
IL 1876 Prof. Samuels was put on trial
in the city of Minneapolis, Mimi, for do
ing the work in which he is now engaged.
At that time secret meeting was held
by large number of tho leading ply
sicians of that city, at which DR.. Tanner,
Of fasting fame, was present, to take
some action against Prof. SamUels.
They were all satisfied that their ideas
were right and that the great optician
was wrong. A very eminent physician,
DR.. Leonard, who was a strong personal
friend of Prof. Samuals, was also one of
the number The doctors son, daughter
and several personal friends had been
cured by the professor, as well as some
of his students and neighbors. He in
formed Prof. Samuels few days before
hand what was being done-that the OBJ
ject of the meeting was to force him to
leave town. When The subject of Prof.
Samuels' work came up d.. Leonard
asked if any one present knew just what
the professor was doing. Not a word
was uttered. Their only accusation was
that his way of treating eyes was not in
accord with the manner in which they
had been brought up. Then DR.. Leon
ard proceeded 10 tell them what he
knew of the professors work. The doc
tors were nonplussed and the meeting
broke up without any further action.
Their own prejudice rather than his mis-
doings was the feature of the meeting
Put the result was that Prof. Samuels
stayed in Minneapolis, and thereafter
the doctors never disturbed him. That
was the greatest advertisement they
could have given him, as was shown by
the crowds that soon began to flock to
his Office The same feeling exists today
! among the PHYSICIANS, but not strong
enough to lead them to hold meetings.
In the meantime the professor gees on
fitting and treating eyes and curing ner
vous trouble. His office is 6 Kansas
avenue, over the Hub clothing store.

AN OFFENDED OSTRICH.
An Innocent Kitten Mistook His Legs
for Saplings and Climbed Up.

for Saplings and Climbed Up.
P'rom the Philadelphia Press)
The ostrich at the Geological Garden
stood in the long yard adjoining its
cage in the deer house yesterday. It
gazed contemplatively through the bars
of the fence at the world beyond and
shivered every once in a while as the
cool breezes swept down upon it. 1t
was thinking of the difference in CHI
mates and wondering whether if il
buried one of its eggs as it used to do
in the long grass during such weather
the cool wave would hatch out an ice
cream churn.
While it was revolving the question
in its mind a playful kitten came
through the fence into the yard. It
was a pretty kitten-pure white, cx-
cept for a few blotches that looked as
if somebody had thrown an ink bottle
at it, after carefully removing the cork.
The kitten went running along the yard
until it came to the ostrich. Thinking
its long, thick legs were young sap
lings the playful kitten gave run and
quickly climbed up them and was soon
on top of the ostrichs back.
The huge bird did not know what to
make of it at first, and went cantering
around the yard as though the plague
were after it, Round and round it went
until red in the face it came TO sud
den stop. The kitten never moved. 1t
had taken a firm hold of the ostrich
and did not propose to be shaken.
I stood the earthquake this morn
ing" said the kitten; 81 guess can
stand this
Finding that the strange beast re-
fused to be thus summarily disposed OF
the ostrich became less scared and more
angry. 1t curled its neck and twisted its
head so as to get fair look at the kit
ten. The kitten never WINGED It began
to think it had parked up the wrong
/, tree, but it was determined to see the
matter out The ostrich aimed a blow
at the undesirable rider with its beak,
but it lodged. It tried it again, but the
result was the same Again and again
the agile head and long neck rained
sledge-hammer blows at the tricky lit
tie kitten. 1t escaped them all, though
some were too near for comfort.
Finally the kitten got scared. It ran
out on the ostrich's neck to get out OF
the way. Then it smiled The ostrich
couldn't hit it there It's smile did not
last long, however With a sudden
movement the ostrich stretched its
neck backward. encircled the kitten
round the waist. and squeezed it until
it was dead Then it unwound itself
and placidly looked at the dead animal.
After a moment or two of contempia-
ton it picked up its victim and flung
it as far at it could. Then it calmly re-
sumed the meditations that had been
so ruthlessly interrupted

He had been absent nearly ten years

One of the most reverend ministers
who is not away on vacation went to
call the other day on one of his most
esteemed parishloners. The lady, who
is a very devout person, has a little
daughter of the lisping age, to whUn
she has patiently taught q number of
pious little hymns. When the minis
ter called Dotty was in the nursery be-
ing beguiled by the nurse maid from
a crying fit by the recital of Mother
Goose" melodies. Her mother sent fer
her, and when the child had been
brought into the drawing room she was
made TO give her unwilling hand to
the minister, and finally was CoaXed
to say some of her little hymns that
mamma had taught her. Dotty thought
a moment and began:
Yentle Yethus,

Have you any wool?
