Troubles ofnDoctor.

A physician tells us that while
there is IL considerable amount of
grip in tho town and community,
not every one who cries grip, grip"
is suffering from that malady, by
any means. The other night" he
went on to say, "at the close of n
busy day, [ had just sought my bed
and had fallen into the arms of
Morpheus, when L was awakened
and informed that [ was wanted 10
go out into the country TO see sick
man. | had been up late the night
before, and was almost tired out.
Well there was nothing to do but
to answer tho summons, so l dress
ed and started off reached my
destination, and found the sick
man. Sick indeed! Why, he had
no more need of physician than
the most healthy man in the &C M
munity. lie had merely contracted
a cold, and thought he had the grip.
OF course we doctors arc supposed
to go wherever our services are
wanted, but in times like these,
when there arc many serious cases
of sickness, we do not relish being
routed out at midnight to see pa
tients who really do not noed our
services. And this is only one case
in mnnY."

An Alarming DECORATION,

Endeavoring to bulldoze Con-
gress into passing the imperial bill
for a standing army of 100000
men, Secretary Alger, of the war
department, held forth at Brooklyn
at Lincoln banquet on Tuesday
night after this fashion:
I'VE hope that soon we shall
have an army bill such ns is fitting
for this mighty Nation, that we
can relieve these 125,000 volun-
teers and put men in their places
willing to serve as soldiers. If
this be denied us / want to pledge
you that the men in the field /,
though their time may be up, will
never be released"
Here is a direct threat that un-
less the regular army is increased
to 100000 the volunteers in the
field, enlisted to serve during the
war with Spain, though their
time may be up, will never be re-
leased" The Secretary pledges"
himself to this effect. 1t is di-
rect threat that the administration
will break faith with the volun-
teers now in the service by hold
ing them even after their term of
enlistment has expired. The price
of keeping faith with them is the
grant by Congress of a great stand
ing army.

prcdictcd1OO Years Ago.

Here is a prediction on tho wealth
er for February 1899, which is TAX
en- from German book published
over 100 years ago:
"Hornung-F Faengt trueb an, den
., Schoen, darauf unlustig; den s,
faelIt groszo kaelte Elm den 10, Gin
SO kalter tag deryleichen in vielen
Gahren nicht gewesen list, den IL,
II, kalt, den II, warum NIT einem
regtn, darauf grosze wasser erfol-
get, bis den 81, da es bis zum ende
rauh, windig, schnee und uDlustig."
Which, being translated is as
follows:
February Commences cloudy
and overcast. The 5th, fair and
clear, followed by disagreeable
weather; tho Sth, cold snap will
set in, and the 10th will be the
coldest day known for many years;
11th, 18th, cold; 14th, warm and
rainy, followed by great floods, con-
tinuing to the 9th; from the 9th
TO the end of the month, rain and
windy, snowy and disagreeable."
Melville Posts Strange Schemes
of Randolph Mason" has received a
further advertisement by being
withdrawn from circulation at the
public library at Cleveland, Ohio.
Since the Lou'gart murder it has
not been deemed wise in some
quarters for the criminal inclined
to read the West Virginian's book.
1t is not the fault of West Vir-
ginia, if its coal is so superior as
fuel and steam coal, that it is driv-
ing the Ohio coal from the lake
trade, and the growing of the Ohio
papers will not help matters or
prevent West Virginia coal leading
in the markets.
