They Couldn't Help Him,
Detroit Free Press.)


One of the hotel clerks tells this as
happening when the electric school of
physicians were holding their convention
here:
There was a bright eyed old codger
hustled into the office, registered from
an Iowa town. and he at once asked me
II all the strangers he saw there were
preachers. Doctors l informed him. He
dropped his valise, stepped to the nearest
OF the electrics and inquired, Air you a
doctor? The doctor pleaded guilty.
Good, l jest heerd there was hull
wad o you here
Yes, We're all DOCTORS as others be-
gan 10 gather around.
Wall, you make quite a herd. | must
say, when you're all punched on the same
range. But what L want ter ask is, do
you know duTn thing bout blackleg?
About what? inquired a scholarly
looking eclectic from Massachusetts.
- 'Blackleg.
must confess that l do not. How
does it affect the patient?'
Don't affect patients, but it's gol
dinged hard on steers
After much talking it simmered down
to the fact that none of the physicians
knew how TO cure blackleg.
Mighter knowed it, snapped the dis
appointed cattleman. Got a few thou
san o the same kinder plugs doctorin'
out in my state. The hull tarnal bunch
of 'em put together don't know enough
10 cure one steer with the blackleg.' P"

PROTECTION AT OUR DOORS.

When the fruit growers and Gamers
of Utah receive a protection of - cents
per 100 pounds against California pro-
duce, the local organ Of protection TO
trusts only" enters solemn protest.
1t complains because the Southern Pa
cific has raised the rate on canned
goods from the coast, while it reduced
the rate to Denver If there is anything
in the theory Of tariff protection, this
is one case where our contemporary
should not only not complain, but
should rejoice with exceeding great
JOY.
Instead of hailing UEcle Coils as a
benefactor Of his race and giving him
credit for selecting the orchards of
Utah of all others for protection
against outside competition, our neigh
Dor takes the position that the in
crease viii have to come out OF the
consumers" and that Utah pays the
freight tariff.
This isn't good protection doctrine. 1t
is heresy for the local mouthpiece of
the administration to utter it, AS the
foreigner pays the import tax, so will
the Californian pay the freight.
And since high protective tariff is
a benefit TO the infant trusts of the ma
ton, so must these ever increasing
freight rates be a benefit to the infant
fruit trees of the safe. Since the con-
sumers are not considered in the one
instance. why consider them in the
other?

The Troubled Cashier.
(Chicago Times-Herald)

Now it came to pass that there was a
bank cashier who was sorely troubled.
And there came wise man who saw
the care that was in the bank cashier 5
face. and he spoke unto him saying:
why are you cast down? Your fea-
lures are the features of one who is in
sore straits. Perchance the watermelon
was still green?'
No said the man who was troubled;
lit is nothing that l have eaten. But
how shall l gain the confidence of those
about me? If / live humbly they say l
do so to ward off suspicion, and if l in
dulge in luXuries they at once declare
that l must be stealing. What am l to
do?"
Then the wise man opened his mouth
and said d great thing:
"Forasmuch as you are so blame fraid
somebody will suspicion you, it must be
that you are crooked. Behold, | am Sher-
lock Holmes. the younger, and l arrest
you in the name of the law
And it was found that the cashier had
stolen much.
Moral-Now. therefore. when a man is
afraid the chances are that he has some
thing 10 be afraid of.

teresting and more dramatic; while Eu-
gene Sues works. TO an equal or greater
degree than George Sands. help by di-
verting attention from the miseries the
romanticists had brought into such
strong relief, to direct il to other suffer-
ingS, which are more real, deeper and
more cruel.-Brunetiere.
To write novels was to her only a
process of nature; she seated herself
before her table at 10 o'clock, with
scarcely a plot. and only the slightest
acquaintance with her characters: I'M
til in the evening, while her hand
guided a pen, the novel wrote itself.
Next day and the next il was the same.
By and by the novel had written itself
in full. and another was unfolding. Not
that she composed mechanically; her
stories were not manufactured; they
grew-grew with facility and free album
dance. At first a disciple of Rousseau
and Chateaubriand, her theme was the
romance of love. Her early novels are
lyrical cries of heart that had been
wounded; protests against the crime of
loveless marriage, against the tyranny
of man, the servitude of woman; pleas
for the individualism of the sOul-su-
perficial in thought, i'll balanced in feel
ing, unequal in style, yet rising TO pass
ages of rare poetic beauty. and often
admirable in descriptive power. The
imagination of George Sand had trans
lated her private experiences into ro-
nance; yet she, the spectator of her
own inventions. possessed of a fund of
sanity which underlay the agitatiOns of
her genius. while she lent herself to her
creations, piled her. pen with a steady
hand from day to day.-Dowden.
