Spring Time.

Is when nearly everyone feels the need of
some blood purifying, strength invigorat.
ing and health producing medicine. The
real merit of Hoods sarsaparilla is the
reason of its widespread popularity. Its
unequalled success is its best recommends
ton. The whole system is susceptible to
the most good from medicine like Hoods
sarsaparilla taken at this time, and we
would lay special stress upon the time and
remedy, for history has it recorded that
delays are dangerous. The remarkable
success achieved by Hoods Sarsaparilla
and the many words of praise it has re-
ceived, make it worthy of your confidence.
We ask you to give this medicine fair
trial.

of the dark eyes said, 81 predict I

was empty and silent.
Jenny left her friends and hastily
mounting the broad stairway of hel
luxurious home, sought her mother, te
whom she gleefully impaired some
pleasant information, judging from
their evident appreciation of it. "Oh,
motherdie came so near laughing
when he so completely forgot himself
as to say Little Prue.' Then when he
predicted our being friends some day,
it was too funny. 1t is good too, isn't
it, motherdie?"
Prne arriving at home, as she styled
the two rooms which were swept and
garnished by her own nimble fingers.
found awaiting her messenger from
her one relative, grand aunt, telling
her of this aunt's sudden illness and
desire to have her with her. Hurriedly
making few preparations, leaving a
note for Mr.. Giles explaining the cause
of her abrupt departure, she returned
with the messenger, and weeks passing
by, found her still ministering to the
sick woman's wants, both temporal and
spiritual, until at last there was moth
ing more to be done for one whose
earthly career was ended, and Prue was
free to 60 back to her little rooms and
the duties awaiting her. to gather up
again with trembling hands and weary
heart the tangled web of life alone.
1t is evening and she has just come
in from granny's, Benny's granny,
whose pleasure at her return was SO
unqualified and sincere that Prue
thought as she sat by the window, look
ing out into the star-lit night, 81 ought
to be glad of one friend, even if tits
only Benny's granny" then as though
a sudden thought occurred to her
"However, think Miss Banks, What
a queer idea to call her Jerry y would
be my friend. How good and kind of
her to take the organ all the time was |
absent in order that I should have it
again. 1t was kind, very, and ia
like" and as usual with Prue a long
train of thoughts followed which was |
interrupted by knock on the door.
She carelessly called, "Come in"
without turning her head, supposing it
was Benny or some of the boys, and
when two strong hands grasping hers
raised her to her feet, she looked with
astonished eyes at the tall figure before
her. The light was dim, but she recog-
nized him as he stood holding her
hands in his own. No sound came
rom the shy lips, and the little head
lrooped low, and still lower, until with
swift movement he drew her close to
lis heart, as he whispered, my little
Plue," then after moments silence,
Did you think did not know these
lear hands fashioned the sweet violet
ross and then so cunningly hid it

And Prue is no longer friendless and
lone.

of them possibly would like to for rea.
sons of health, as the atmosphere is
anything but pleasant. On the floor
below is the laboratory for astrological
aid pathological work, and it is of
special interest at this time on account
of the widespread curiosity regarding
bacteria and tubercles. The work
done here is microscopic largely, and
many important discoveries may come
from the information which is cleaned
in this unpretentioas looking room.
Next comes the large amphitheatre
where the operations are performed
and lectures are given by prominent
physicians. On the same floor is the
| physiological laboratory. Still further
| downstairs is the chemical laboratory,
with its long desks and rows upon
rows of formidable-looking bottles.
Many hours are spent here compound
ing horrible-looking and worse-tasting
drugs and medicines. Here at noon
the students bring their lunch boxes,
for most of them live too far away to
enjoy the luxury of a home luncheon,
and First avenue restaurants pail on a
cultivated palate after few weeks

1t is only for the first two years that
much time is spent in these depart
ments. The last two years are mostly
given up to practical work in the
imflrmary and dispensary connected
with the college and in visiting the
sick at their homes. The dispensary
which is in the basement of the |
college building, is crowded every |
morning from 9 until noon with |
poor women, most of them with babies
who can get here the best medical ad- |
vice and treatment free. Fifteen or |
twenty doctors hold clinics regularly |
and are kept busy all the time. There |
were l 200 new patients last year who
were visited in their homes, and over
eight thousand calls were made. The
inirmary connected with the college is
next door on Livingston place, and
each year three students are appointed
from the graduating class to serve
there as doctors for year or more.
It evident that the woman doctor is
here to stay, notwithstanding that most
men practitioners assert that there
is no place for women in the profession.
There are many families in the city
who employ woman altogether
for their family physician. 1t was

Motions to adjourn became frequent, but
Chairman Thomas refused to consider them
FOR sometime as he stated that the conven-
ton bad not done the work for which it
assembled, aud that it was duty TO put out
candidates TO be voted for 10 the primary.
Mr.. j. T. Hayes moved that delegates be
nominated. The motion was lost somewhere
10 the confusion, 80 it was never put.
Capt. Keels made another speech or two
also Mr. Wells and Mr. l. D. Jennings.
Others were talking at such rate that moth
ing could be understood clearly.
Mr.. Shepherd Nash offered resolution
accepting the spirit OF compromise and
recommending both factions TO 20 into the
primary and vote for the best men irrespec-
tive of faction. The resolution was disre'
garded.
There were more motions to adjourn.
Capt. Keels moved that the convention
suggest u candidates. Nominations were
made from the aoor as follows: D. E. keels,

be in spiri, of ridicule or sport and nearly
every man who was present declined.
to Another. motion to adjourn was made and
lost
The wrangliug and confusion seemed to in-
crease and pe,her side seemed disposed to
yield. Capt. Keels and his followers were
determined either to adjourn without taking
action or TO dominate full ticket without
reference 10 the Conservative proposition
The Others, led by Sir. H. R. Thomas, wished
to take some action 10 secure peace with ths
Conservatives and prevent fight.
One motion TO adjourn followed another iu
rapid succession, and the chairman refused to
entertain more than u majority OF such mo-
tons. At one time Capt. Keels, Mr.. Thomas
aud several other lesser lights were all talking
at the same instant.
The climax WAS reached when Mr.. l.. D
Jennings, who had stood squarely up TO Capt
Keels all day, moved that a new chalroao ot
elected instead of Mr.. Thomas. The motion
received second and was put to the house,
but was voted down by a very great prepond'
erance. The wrangling was taken up again,
bnt no progress of any kind was made.
Mr Edwin Wilson brought the farce to an
end by ooviug "that the convention adjourn
for the sake of decency." The motion Wa;
adopted.

greatly disgusted with the result of the con-
yen,ion, aud declared themselves shll 10
