story: After the battle of Gettys-

young physician who had lately
been appointed and whose knowl-
edge of medicine was very limited

Among the disabled was a very
young man who had been shot
through the leg. Our disciple of As.
culapius proceeded to get his knife
to work, and after cutting for a half
hour was interrupted by tho young
soldier with, Say, how much longer
are you going to cut?' Until get

were efficacious in causing sleep Be.

the noise of the numerous beaus
who came to see his daughters, he
resolved to try the onion prescrip.

1t Once Held Beer.

"A cementcd cave and lead pipe

lipgton workmen who were digging
on the Masonic Temple lot, the
other day, and the matter has not
been quite satisfactorily explained
yet. The c,stern, or basin, was
we'll built, walled with brick and the
bottom cemented. About, 100 feet
of lead pipe was uncovered, but the
attempt to trace it further was given
up. "No one seems to be able to
explain the mystery SO far, says the
Free Press, "but there arc those who
undoubtedly could tell just how many
gallons of beer had found their way
through the pipe"

Along the common way.
Thinking Of one blue sky and white cloud day
When. free from vexina care,
Ipulled and curled your stems in childish play
And wove them in my hair.
Or breathed across your phantom seed sphere
there
With wonder and delight
To see you, spiritlike, rise In tho air
And vanish out OF sight.
Believing, while watched your shining flight,
The brooding. blessed power,
Myst, riJUs and silent as the light,
Would bring you back flower.
All, sweet child trust that bides through sun
and shower
In wisdom all unskilled;
After long storms will come fateful hour
Whom it shall be fulfilled!
Hopes winged seeds through all the years un.
chilled
Bloom in the waysiGe grass
The flower comes back and with heart strange.
ly thrilled
We bless 1t as we pass.
