The Doctors Revenge.

The doctor shook his head and looked
serious.
"Humr" he said, after feeling the
patents pulse and taking his tempera-
ture. you're very i'll indeed"
"Y-you don't say so, doctorl" gasped
the man as he turned pale. "Am Icom-
ing down with some serious illness?"
"You are liable to, sir, unless you
follow out my directions to the letter.
Let's see. Do you go to Jones, the butch
er?'
"Yes, doctor"
"You must buy your meat after this
at some other shop. 1t will be somewhat
of a change, I think. Does Smith, the
grocer, get your custom?"
she does, doctor-all Of it in that
line"
"Just SO. I must caution you tc
change grocers for awhile. Even that
will be a little change in your diet.
Who's your bakeri"
"Why, Brown, at the corner"
"Then buy your bread somewhere
else, so as to have a complete change in
food all round. That's all, I believe.
Follow those directions faithfully, take
this prescription and have it made up,
and you'll be a different man in 6
week."

Versatile william.

The Emperor William is probably the
most versatile of all the rulers Of Eu-
rope. There is nothing that he has turn
ed his hand to that he has not accom-.
plished. His particular fad, so far as
trades are concerned, is printing, and it
is related of him that not long ago, aft
err he had composed a piece of music, he
went into a printing office, "set up"
and corrected the music and made it
ready to be printed. There is no other
monarch in all Europe who can boast Of
a similar feat. The Emperor William is
like the candidate for circus honors
years ago. The manager asked him
what he could do. The candidate said,
II can dance, sing, talk or do anything
you blamed pleasey' That is the exact
situation with Emperor William.

The Spirit of Love.

Beyond all question, it is the unal.
terable constitution Of nature that there
is efficacy-divine, u~nspeakable efficacy
in love. The exhibition of kindness
has the power to bring even the IRA
tional animal into subsection. Show
kindness to a dog, and he will remem-
Der it, he will be grateful, he will in
fallibly return love for love. Show kind
ness to a lion, and you can lead him by
the name, you can thrust your head into
his mouth, you can melt the untamed
ferocity of his heart into an affection
stronger than death. And if this blessed
influence should extend itself over the
earth, a moral garden of Eden would
exist in every land. Instead of the thorn
and brier would spring up the fir tree
and the myrtle; the desert would bios
som and the solitary place be made
glad. New York Ledger.

Stories of Prentice.

George ID. Prentice was q remarkably
candid man, illustration Of which is
given in the anecdotes which follow;
but these are only a few OF the hundreds
to be tEld:
Once when coming out Of q public
building in Louisville he was about to
pass through a double door which open
ed both ways. Like the sensible man he
was he started to push at the door half
on his right. A young man coming from
the opposite direction was pushing at
the same door, being his own left.
Prentice lost patience, and throwing
himself with all his might against the
door it few open and the young man
went sprawling on the mosaic floor.
Assisting the youth to arise, Prentice
remarked "Take my advice, my son.
Keep to the right in your way through
life, and you'll never run against any
body but q blamed fool, and you needn't
apologize to him"
Will s. Hays, the famous Kentucky
song writer, was in the latter days Of
the old Journal river reporter for The
Democrat. Hays was a very sudden
young man, good hearted, jolly, witty,
but lacking somewhat in reverence, and
he had a habit of calling persons, ever
old enough to be his grandfather, by
their given names. Visiting Prentice
one day as a fellow poet. after some des'
ultory talk, Hays said:
II suppose, George, you have seer
my last song"
Prentice looked up at Hays, who wa,
seated CROSS legged IN Prentice's table,
and with a twinkle in his expressive
eyes quietly replied:
ST hope SO. Bill"
Bill looked around for a second o.
two, as if something had tapped him
and then slid down the baluster rail tt

Cities Buried by Sand Storms

Of the great desert of Cobb, the ruins of

and a canal connected it and the sur

The houses had walls Of plated reeds,

Doorknob and Horse Bride Scholars

The present generation of clas-
steal philologists reminds one of a
certain sect of Japanese Buddhists
which believes that salvation is to
be attained by arriving at a knowl-
edge of the infinitely small. Posi-
tions, it is said, have recently been
given in American colleges to men
who have shown their assimilation
of the classical spirit by writing
theses on the ancient horse bride

Climbing.

Selfish ambition may help us to climb
to the point where we may be seen, but
it never aids us in climbing to where
we can see. The higher a man gets in
the world in pursuit of selfish aims the
narrower his field of vision becomes.
The higher he gets in the pursuit of IN
selfish aims the farther he can see
around him. 1t matters little whether
we climb in life if we do not olimb-to-
ward a higher point of vision.-Sunday

Hunt secured 81. 500 in cash. and one afternoon
started in n buggy with Reynolds 10 secure tho
balance Of tho money due from thr latter. A

q Pale, Blank Punk.
Examinations for inspectors, poll clerks. and
ballot clerks for the fall election began yester-
day at Police Headquarters. Chief Clerk Allen
OF the Election Bureau watched the applicants
scratching answers to the questions from 8
o'clock in the morning until Q o'clock at night
would-be inspectors only were examined yes
terday. There are places for 3,632 inspectors.
and there are nearly 5000 applicants. Mr..
Allen examined l,lo5 yesterday. To each of
them was submitted q printed paper containing
twelve questions. with blank spaces for the an
swers. These questions were not the ordinary
fool questions OF the civil service examiner. but
related solely TO the Election law, and were de-
signed to show whether or not the applicant
knew anything about the duties Of the place he
hoped to I'LL. Ono hour was allotted for the an
swerinR Of the questions, but most OF the appli-
cauts did not need more than fifteen minutes.
The successful applicant is expected to answer
10 per cent. OF the questions correctly. They
were all such az could be answered by any in
telligent citizen.
OF tho l,lO5 examined yesterday. only one
man failed utterly. He returned a paper 40,
his name andNaddress on 1t. He demurred. but
the big policeman at the door refused to let him
pass until he had written them.
There are 7 .O64 places to be filled altogether.
OF these 1882 are inspectors. ]. T66 ballot clerks,
and an equal number Of polling, clerks. There
