THE DOCTORS STORY.
An Experience That Followed a Cali at
Night.

! Night.
-Four or five physicians were talking
up town the other evening at the home
of one, and the conversation later turned
to shop. One OF them had recently
moved his office down town, and there
was some discussion as to the advisable
ity of separating house and Office
Well, " said the separatist, 81 can t
see any difference so long as I am at
my office during Office hours :"
LET me tell you story, =" remarked
the oldest man in the party. Thirty
years ago, when began practice, I lived
in Virginia, and for year or two
slept in my Office. Then l married, and
my wife owned nice house, and | went
to it to live. 1t sat back from the street
about so feet, and we decided that it
would be much nicer if we had my office
out on the street in the far corner of the
lot. Only 80 feet away, you will OBJ,
serve, but still it was enough. In order
to see such callers as came during the
night / had night bell and speaking
tube connecting the front door of the
L
not want a patient to escape under any
circumstances.
"Well, everything went nicely enough
for three years or so, when one night a
ring came to my bell. 1t was then about
2 o'clock in the morning, and the ring
was hot one. asked who it was, and
the answer came from friend of mine
to the effect that he was mighty sick
man and wanted to see me at once.
told him to come around to the house
and | would meet him at the door and
take care of him. Then l got up, and,
putting on my dressing gown and slip
pers, proceeded to the front door. But
there was no one there and no one in
sight on the way between the gate and
the house.
"That was odd, and went back and
called through the tube to know what
was wrong. received no answer, and,
being quite unable to account for it,
took my lamp-it was a very dark and
still highland started to go out and
investigate. Just as was about to step
off the porch I lowered my lamp to
get better light on the step, and there
at the foot of the porch lay a body. I
turned it over at once, and as the light
fell on the face | saw it was my friend
who had only minute before spoken to
me. He was quite dead. And when an
examination was made, it was discovered
that he had died Of heart disease, and
SO near to me that could almost have
touched him. Possibly could bot have
been of any service to him If 4 had seen
him when he first rang the bell tnt the
possibility that I might so aGted me
that from that day to this Isssaye had

The MISSING WORD.
A CHANCE FOR NEWS SUBSCRIBE.
Frs TO MAKE MONEY,
The One Who Supplies the Missing
Word Entitled to Ten Per Cent
of the Amount Received.

We call the attention of our reader to
the interesting details of our clubbing
proposition with the Atlanta Weekly
Constitution, published in full else
where. As will be seen, the joint price
of The News and the Weekly Constitu-
ton for one year is but $1.5O. Every
subscriber win not only got two papers
fnr little more than the price of one, but
will, in addition, have chance to par
ticipate without cost in the missing
Word Contest" the premiums of which
are offered by both papers. Every sub
scrber is entitled to guess at the missing
word in the following sentence:
''Supply and demand are as init
mately '........... > as cause and
effect"
and the one who supplies the correct
word will be entitled to 10 per cent of
the amount received from subscriptions
not My from The Constitution, but all
of the papers participating in the club
bling offer with The Constitution be-
tween now and the 1st of March. Tue
Constitution guarantees that at least
five hundred dollars in cash will
be dstri buted, and probably the
amount will be between 81, 900 to 1000.
If more than one person supplies correct
ly the missing word the cash amount
will be distributed among the successful
guessers.
A few months ago The Weekly Consti-
tuition offered 81 900 in cash to the sub
scrib guessing the size of the years
Gotten crop as announced by the New
Orleans cotton exchange. The success
full guesser was Mr.. r. t. Poole of Rock
ingbam, n. c., who received Immediate
ly after the announcement of the New
Orleans exchage 81, 900 in cash from The
Weekly Constitution, enabling him to
buy the farm which he was then renting
and pay himself out of debt.
Every intelligent person should sub
scribe to his home paper and should take
one general newspaper which covers the
news of the world. This the COnsttu.
ton does better than any southern
weekly newspaper, and the fact that it
has now the largest circulation of any
weekly newspaper published on the
western hemisphere attests to its popu-
larity. 1t publishes 10000 copies every
week aud goes into more homes in the
southern and wertern states than any
weekly newspaper published in America.
You want your homo paper; and when
you can get it in connection with The
| Weekly Constitution for almost the price
of one and in addition become partici
pant in the great missing word contest
announced elsewhere, you should take
prompt advantage of the combination
Remit the combination price to us anc
send your guess of the missing wore
along with it, and we will forward your
name to the Constitution, and your guess
will be duly recorded, you are already {
subscriber to our papear and want The
Weekly Constitution forward us one dol
lar with your guess of the missing wore
and we will see that it is sent to Tht
| Constitution.
The proposition is an attractive one
and it is to be hoped that some readers o.
this paper will supply the correct missing
word in the above sentence.
