The doctor had. come in late from hard
days work. driving from place to place,
feeling pulses, giving encouragement and
writing prescriptions, says the Kansas
City Star. He had eaten his supper at
II o'clock, made a last call on a man with
the grip and had turned into bed, dog
tired
1t was long after midnight when the tel
ephone ben rang. The doctor was sunk in
a deep sleep. Again the bell rang out
sharply and impatiently and continued to
ring, but the doctor did not hear it. At
the other end of the HAN a pale student
pored over his book. He was studying law.
The bell disturbed him, and he at length
decided 20 answer it and stop the ringing.
He took down the receiver and shouted
"Hellow
Isl that you, doctor?" asked an anx-
ious voice
Yes, what do you want?' replied the
student, who knew the doctor was tired
and did not wish to wake him unless the
case was serious.
This is Potts, doctor. H ]. Potts My
wife wanted me to call you up to tell you
that the baby wouldn't play with his
blocks tonight and seemed kind of heavy
and dun. What do you suppose is the
matter, doctor? My wife is very I'M
easy"
Hum" said the student, trying to think
of something to say rs the baby fever
ish?'
mo. I don't think he is" replied the
voice. But he sneezed once tonight"
"Ah," said the bogus doctor, that's
good sign. If he succeed and is not fever
ish he is all right. You might give him
little water if he wakes up and cries; if
he gets too warm take some of the covers
off"
IAN right, doctor. Much obliged Sorry
to have had to disturb YOU but my wife
wouldn't go to sleep until called you up.
Good night"
All" thought the pale student, that is
g for the doctor. Wish conld earn it as
easily"
When he told the doctor about his decep-
ton the next day he was thanked, and
Mr.. Potts bill was swefled by 81, one-half
of which went to the pale student
IT'S their first baby" explained the doc
tor, 'and they're tickled to death to pay
any price for it. l couldn't have given
Potts any better advice myself"

Correct Medical Treatment.

1t makes no difference to DR.. Hathaway
q Co. whether you have been treated bv
one physician or by one hundred phvsi-
clans; if You are yet sufferer, you are
just as much in need of medicaf aid as
lhough you had never made an attempt
TO get cured. The trouble may be that your
doctor does not understand your case. He
may be good doctor, but if he does NOT
understand the exact nature of YOUR dis
ease he will never cure you. 1t may be that
yon nave been treated by some "uuaek ."
VINO neither has ability enough to cure
you nor honesty enough to tell you that he
does not understand your case Or If Won
are trusting to some patent medicine to
cure you, 1t is more than likely you will
be disappointed, because in nine cases out
of ten the medicine does not fit your case
NOW, remember it makes no difference to
DIT. Hathaway & Co., how many doctors
or how many remedies have failed to give
you relief; as long as there is life there
Is hope, and DR.. Hathaway & Co.'s treat
ment Tor catarrh and all chronic compii-
Gated diseases is the correct treatment.
DR.. Hathaway & Co. have attained the
highest eminence in the successful treat
ment Of the sick in this community. Their
name is known in every household where
1alr deahhgs and honesty are held in es-
TEEN. The people know and trust DR.. Hath
N~~e&Nf'S
friend That they appreciate their skin is
shown by the constantly lengthening
chain of testimonials of cured patients
They know the sick and afflicted Aeceive
proper care at their hands, and what is
more TO the point, they know that thew
cure where others fail. They do not seek
to delude the public by hiding behind fac
utious words, and practice upon popular
credulity. They are practicing medicine. as
their printed statements show, skillfullv
and successfully.
The fact that they treat immense num-
bers OF patients and conduct their prac-
tice upon business principles applying the
same methods to it that would be required
to make any business successful enables
them to treat each individual patient az
nominal price, and hence the regular local
treatment, without which no chronic trou
bic can be cured-together with the medi-
clnes, actually cost the patients less than
they would be obliged 10 pay for the medi-
clnes alone, if they bought them at the
drug store.
Genuine skill experience, methodicar adj
vertising, truthful advertising, permanence
ana responsibility, making low charges
possible, account in a great measure for
the success of DR.. Hathaway & Co.

In a Duluth Court.

1t was in Duluth court. and the wit
ness was Swede who was perhaps NOT
so stupid as he seemed to be, says Life.
The examining attorney was n
smart young man, whose object was to
disconcert the witness and discredit his
testimony.

The Philadelphia Record Dem) says.
THE states must deal with the trusts.
according to the dictum of Attorney Cen

nicely by creating trusts and paying its
expenses out of resulting honorariums He
declares that the federal power can deal
only with unlawful combinations which
have for their object interference with in
terstate commences; hut he adds that in
his own judgment the danger from the
large combinations of capital now FORM
ing is not so much 70 the community at
large as to the people+who may be induced
TO put their money into the purchase of
such stocks. This note. of warning comes
from a high and responsible source, and
it ought not to be unheeded by those per.
sons of a speculative turn of mind who
now seem insanely determined TO go
upon the street and buy something"
The statement of Speaker Reeds score.
tary that the speaker really desires 10
retire from politics leads the Hartford
Times Dem) to say: Thomas B. Reed
comes a great deal nearer 10 representing
the feeling of the country In regard to
the Philippine business than does ths
President Yet there's every reason to
believe that through his control of the
patronage, Mr.. Mckinley is practically
sure of a denomination by his party. But
we don't believe the time has arrived for
Brother Reed to quit political life entire
ly. He may be needed"
The Baltimore American (Rep) says: "a
woman speaker in New York society
was Kissed down for attacking Gov. Roose.
welt for his action in Mrs. Places case.
The incident shows that not all women are
victims of the sentimentality of which
they. as a sex. are accused 1t is a good
sign. FOR the education of feminine feel
ing and reason on this point will do much
to form a more wholesome opinion on the
subject of crime and misplaced sympathy
for criminals"

Where He Got His Port.

A capital story concerning a prominent
member of the Stock Exchange is going
the rounds. says London Tt-Bits He
was a man who enjoyed his wine. and al
ways took great care of it when he hap
pened to pick up a choice vintage While
living in fashionable quarter of the West
End he CHANGED TO buy large cask of
very fine old port, which he had placed at
the extreme end Of his cellar, and to make
perfectly sure that ID should not be touch
ed he had a wall built across the cellar.
and so closed II in.
1t was about year or two later that he
one evening accepted an invitation to dine
with his next door neighbor, when the lat
ter brought out some very fine old port.
Several glasses having been drunk, the
man of stocks and shares recognized its
excellent quality and asked his host where
he could get some port like it.
"Well, old fellow" returned the other.
Il will let you into secret but don't saw
anything about ii. ! was having some
alterations made in my cellar lately, when
we discovered that some old fool who liv-
ed in this house before me had built a wan
round a large cask of port and forgot an
about it. This is some of IT, but I am
afraid there isn't much left"
The effect upon the worthy stock brok-
er's feelings may be imagined.

POLITICAL RUMORS AND SUG-
GESTJONS

The Bryan-Belmont correspondence has
given rise to a crop of political rumors and
suggestions. One of the rumors which is
attracting attention is that Senator Jones,
Chairman of the Democratic national COM
mttee, is against the nomination of Col
Bryan for standard bearer of the Demo-
cratic party in 1900. How much truth there
is in this rumor it is impossible to say.
Senator Jones is too i'll to be interviewed,
and it is probable that he would not COM
init himself for or against Mr.. Bryan,
even if he were we'll enough to discuss
matters pertaining to the next national
convention of his party. 1t is noticeable
that Senator Teller has announced that
in his opinion Col. Bryan will be the NOM
inee, but the fact must not be overlooked
that there is quite strong element in the
party which is in favor of the nomination
of Senator Teller-a fact of which Mr..
Teller is well aware
Hon. J. Sterling Morton is out in an in
terview in which he suggests that Demo
Gratis should form new party. II doesn't
matter much, however what he suggests,
81 lar dS politics Is concerned. lie Is
back number-so far back that most peo-
pie have forgotten that he was a mem
Der of Mr.. Clevelands cabinet He is
afraid that the Democratic party cannot
win next year under its present name be-
cause 1t is carrying too big load of pop
ulism What he would like is this: He
would like new party with platform
similar to that adopted by the Palmer and
Buckner supporters in 1896. He ought TO
know that there isn't the trernotest proba-
bility of the Democratic party changing
its name and adopting platform of that
kind.
Mr.. Morton's suggestion Is Interesting
only because it shows how impractical
some men, who have had a reputation for
political sagacity, are. His suggestion
about new party will not find a lodgment
in the public mind in any part of the
country. 1t will be forgotten as soon as
read. But If the rumor that Senator Jones
is against the denomination of Col. Bryan
could be verified, it would cause a politi-
cal sensation.

What has become Of the old-time dogs?
Where are the handsome and kindly New
foundlauds. the ugly but faithful bulls,
the noble st. Bernards and the nervey ter
riers? They are seldom seen nowadays.
In their places there have come the i'll
shaped fox-terriers the ungraceful pugs,
the treacherous black-and-tans and the
all-pervading, worthless ours. The hounds
and settlers and pointers are still to be
seen, but not in the numbers that were
formerly common. Probably the most Of
these breeds are to be found in the coun-
try districts. Meanwhile Savannah. like
most parts of the South is full of non
descript CANNES the descent of which is
past finding out The good dogs have
gone, and worthless dogs have taken
their places In the present Filipino civ
ilization of certain residents of the South
ern states 1t is discouraging to try to keep
good breeds of dogs Those that are worth
having are stolen and sold If they are not
kept constantly under the eye. The
worthless dogs. however, flourish, There
could be general kiling-off of 80 per
cent Of the dogs of Georgia without APP
probable loss to anybody, but rather
great gain to the state as a whole. For
the state. a stringent dog law is needed,
and for the city a strict enforcement of
the dog laws on the books at present.
There are too many worthless dogs.

The National newspaper of Madrid
which was seized the other day. is known
as the personal organ of Gen. weyler.
The cause of the seizure was a story
which the National printed. to the effect
that the Queen Regent was about to re.
sign and get married. The yarn was
probably something on the order of the
story that the Dowager Empress of China
had run away from Picking with Ii Hung
Chang but it served to get weyler's news
paper into trouble.
