REMOVED THE CORK.
How a Physician Got His Start In
the World.
Dew Orleans Times-Democrat.(

(New Orleans eS-Democrat.)
81 am obliged to admit said a New
Orleans physician who has enjoyed a large
practice for years, that L got my start in
my profession through very shady ruse;
in fact, it was a piece of downright rascal
ity. Now, don't look so shocked" he
continued smiling, and I'll tell you the
story. | hung out my single in a very
sleepy town up in Virginia, and for about
two years 1 hovered on the ragged edge
of starvation My speciality was eye and
ear, and l dare say that it contributed to
my lack of success; for in those days all
specialists We're regarded with more or
less distrust. Anyhow, L got barely
enough TO do to keep me alive. and, as
often happens, L was the victim of d good
deal of gratuitous backbiting on the part
of other doctors. One old fellow in par
ticular never overlooked a chance to say
something malicious, and the consequence
was that l became deeply embittered. l
felt that 1 deserved better fortune, and
this by the way, brings me to the point
of my yarn. One day, while cuSSing my
luck in my office, / was greatly surprised
to receive visit from a wealthy old citi

'The old man was extremely irascible,
and as deaf as post, ana Tor years ne

which he used as an ear-horn- As soon
as he entered he began telling me his

lining his ears he took the tube out of his
pocket, and l noticed, by mere chance,
that a cork had been driven into the
mouthpiece. 1t was the work of some
practical joker; and, like a flash. l saw
my opportunity. Saying nothing, l man

REVENUE COLLECTOR BUSY.
Issuing Special Tax Stamps For En-
suing Fiscal Year.

Thomas D. Lewis, United States dep
uty revenue collector, is a busy man
these days. He has just received spe-
cial tax stamps for the new fiscal year,
ebout 900 in all, and as there is much
work in issuing these and the time for
doing it short, he has his coat off and
his sleeves up. The new regulations re-
Quire that all special taxpayers shall
have their special tax stamps exhibited
in their places of business, and heavy
penalties are imposed for failure to do
so. If they delay till the last days of
June or the first days of July they will
find a crowded condition of business,
which will prevent them from receiving
prompt attention and cause vexatious
delay. Last year $500 was paid in pen
alties because of neglect. Blanks were
sent to all in business last year and
notices were posted in every postoffice.
There will be no other notice. The
amount collected from this source in
this division last year was $4,000, and
8. 800 was collected from the banks.

Exodus of Campers.

The summer exodus to the resorts
has begun. 1t was unusually delayed
this year by the backward season but
the past few warm days and nights has
started people to the canyons and other
cool resorts. There will be a goodly
number of campers to spend the sum-
mer in Ogden canyon, at the Hermitage
and at Winslow's resort as well as in
other cool and cosy hooks along the
canyon.
Malan's Heights will still be popular
place for those who wish absolute quiet
and superb scenery. The rush to that
place will not begin for some time yet
because the altitude and the atmos-
phere are such that the nights and
even the days way up there among the
pines are still very cool and snow still
packs the ravines though only two
hours ride from Ogden.
In these respects Ogden seems peculi-
arly and fortunately situated. There
are few cities of her size where cool
resorts and in such numbers may be so
easily reached. A half hours ride
awheel will take the business man from
the door of his place in the city TO one
of the finest canyons in the country and
where the nights are always cool and
bracing.

Swung From the Bridge With His
Hands to Keep From Being Run

Watchman Mcqueen, in Weber canyon.
had thrilling experience in Weber can
yon week or two ago. So did Mrs. Nc
Queen. The gentleman is the Union Pa
ciflc Waterman in Weber canyon, his
beat covering Devils Gate bridge. With
his family he lives in a little cottage set
back off the track a dozen feet or so
against the hill, and just west of the
bridge.
Mcqueen makes many trips a day over
the track and bridge looking out for
slides and other distractions on the track.
On the day referred to the Waterman
was plodding across the bridge, gazing
down at the turbid river, which was very
high and which made tremendous roar
ing in its narrow channel far below.
At his heels followed his faithful dog.
which always accompanies him on his
trips. Mrs. Mcqueen standing in the
doorway, saw her husband coming and
saw something else which for an instant
transtixed Ter with fright. Bearing down
on the bridge came rushing train at full
speed, an extra. which the man was not
looking for, and which the roaring of the
river prevented his hearing.
The woman rushed down to the edge of
the bridge, waving her hands and calling
frantically, but her husband did not look
up, as the task of crossing such a place
required him to keep watch on his path
lest he make a misstep. As he got ABOUT
the middle of the bridge. however, he did
look up for some unexplainable reason.
He saw instantly from the attitude or
Mrs. Mcqueen that there was great peril,
and Just at this moment, with shrek
of the whistle and a changing of the bell,
the train dashed onto the bridge behind
him. Instantly he flung himself over the
side, hanging by a tie with his hands and
partly resting mis- feet in between some
beams.
The dog dropped into a little space be-
tween the ties and curled up there in
front of his masters breast while the
train Numbered by. It was all over in a
few seconds. but Mcqueen can not under
stand how a few seconds can seem so
long. Mrs. Mcqueen is likewise puzzled
over the same problem.
The dog was mystified over the actions
of Mr.. and Mrs. Mcqueen afteE the dan
ger was all over. He jumped about few
times and finally gave up trying to attract
their attention, but went off alone until
his master was ready to resume his trip
down the track.
