He Should Have Brought Them.

A doctor tells a good story in connec-
tion with lad who, until recently,
was in his employ. 1t was part of his
duties to answer the surgery bell and
to usher the prospective patients into
the consulting room. One morning
there presented himself at the surgery
entrance mechanic with whom But
tons was on speaking terms.
"Hello, Jacksonr' he remarked.
whats the matter with ye?'
"Oh, just want to see the doctor, {"
Eeplied the visitor.
''Have yer brought yer symptoms
with yer?" inquired Buttons. "That's
the fust thing he'll ask yer about. If ye
amt brought 'em, ye'd better pop back,
an get 'em. He won't be down for a
quarter of an hour, an he's awful per-
tikler about 'em I"
"And would you believe itf" adds
the doctor, that fellow was actually
about to act ON the boys advice when

The recent opening of valuable
mines in the west and northwest will
give a stimulus to industrial enter
prises generally in the country and
relieve the gorge of money in the
older cities. Profitable investments
will be found in mining and manufact-
uring throughout the Rocky mountain
region. These will draw from the
east millions of dollars, which will be
applied for mutual advantage to the
investors and to the thrifty and indus
trious western workers who use it.
An i'll natured spinner OF cobwebs
of the brain gives it as his opinion
that if woman's chance of getting a
husband depended on her beauty then
few ladies would marry, for pretty
women are the exception, not the
rule, among the feminine sex. Let
this man go bury himself. He is
wrong. There are far more pretty
women than homely ones, even with
out the application of the old saying
that handsome is as handsome does.
We repeat it-there are more comely
women than uncomely ones. Wher-
ever there is sweet tempered, intelli.
gent, sincere, healthy, Immediately
clean woman there you will find a
pretty woman, and mankind may
thank its stars that there are millions
of these.

Again the old Victor has come from
heaven above,
And this time entered a home Of ioy and
love,
And carried from there their dearest one
TO dwell with the angels up above.
1t has hecome our painful duty to re-
core the death of our former physician
DR.. W. ID. White, His health has been
precarious for some time. The work
Of Death was accomplished in a short
while. A heart-stricken widow and
eight orphan children weep in that sad
homestead. He seemed willing to sub
NIT to the divine behest yet be had
much to live for. His interest in this
life was great. The benevolent soul
poured out is sympathy, its tenderness
and its assistance on all objects that
cane within the range of its influence.
1t was the joy of his heart to contribute
to the comfort OF others. But there
were dearer objects to him than life
itself, There was the gentle wife, the
putner Of his love, the cherished idol
Of his heart with whom he hoped to
spend many more wears of happiness
aad a group Of children claimed a faith
er's love and a fathers care. But
Death, inexorahe Death, has severed
them all. May his children become
the children of their father in heaven
that their fathers abode may be theirs.
Yes beloved ones, lis task was finished,
He Ind Labor 4 long and well.
Fl Anoefarth heavens WORDS Of welcome,
NeverlGore earlh's sad farewell,
Weep net forlsim beloved ones,
He is safe on the other shore,
You'll all meet there in heaven,
Where parting will be no more.
