81 live out on Ragged island, and my wife
is out there sick all alone.n
II can't leave my case here" replied the
doctor.
"Yon've got top shouted the stranger.
"You're the only doctor on this island,
and you've got to come. My wife will
die unless she Is attended to-"
As he talked the man grew bysterical
In his excitement and anxiety, and
finished by seizing chair and posing 1t
over the DOCTORS head. "Come sish me
and help my wife," screamed the fisher
man, "or Pll beat your brains out!"
The doctor arranged matters with his
Chebeague patient and went. A wild
storm was on, and the fisherman had
come for him in Hampton boat, little
larger than dory. The doctor lay ON the
bottom OF the craft all the way out to the
island. He was covered by tarpaulin,
and did not see the whole fury OF the
tempest, but the fierce struggle Of the
boat told him that they were passing
through perils of no common sort. The
desperate man, however, nerved by his
affection and his fear, beached the boat
safely on the lonely island. The doctor
was able to bring the woman out of her
trouble safely and went back to Che
beague next day in the lifeboat that was
sent out for him. He took back his fee
with him-two barrels of CLANS and a
shorts sack full OF live Holsters.

"What is the cause Of your antipathy to
foreigners?" asked the knowledge-seeker.
"Well," answered the Chinaman, "we're
afraid pretty soon we'll be having trolley
cars, and then We'll be told to step lively,
and then we'll have franchise scandals
in our city councils, and altogether we
feel as IL we we're taking terrible

Light, air and sunlight are important

There is one significant fact which
bears on the question OF a college educa-
tion for girls. Ii is that all American
women who have won distinction in
original work OF any kind, received the
old fas hioned training. College, bred
women, so far. have been successful only
as teachers. Is this because the woman
in one case was suffered to develop nat ur-
ally, like a growing tree, and in the OF her

promptness with which Doan's Ointment

likely to meet q special freight ahead here
most any place." They did meet the
freight. but fortunately they saw it ahead
on curve in season to pile of into the
drifts, and when 1t rumbled by they
stood up to their necks In snow support
Ing the car on their shoulders. At West
Outlet, thirty miles further on, they had
to leave the railroad. Their course lay
further up the lake.
"Can you skater" asked his tall COM
panions.
"Guess Pm little out Of practice" said
the doctor, but I'll try"
Along the shore stretched q broad strip
where the water had overlooked and
frozen. 1t was bummocky, but the
physician strapped on his skates with
good courage and started away behind
his guides. 1t was dark now. As they
skated along under the shadow of the
banks and the towering trees their course
was especially obscure. Every little
while the doctor stubbed his toe or
caught his skate iron In q crack and
tumbled down. But his courage was SO
his companions. When at last he became
exhausted they gave him the end OF pole
and towed him.
Every little while there were queer
grumblings and growlings Of the ice
ahead. The sound was the sign OF q
"riffle"-a heaving up Of the ice. When
they came to a rifle the men would leave
tho dnetnr nd oh t, In
Sometimes the rifles were like the roof of
q house. The men pulled him up one
side and let him slide down the other.
Sometimes there was open water at a
rifle. Each woodsman carried board
under his arm. With the boards they
bridged the gap. Occasionally they came
to thin ice, over which they crawled on
the boards on their hands and knees.
At midnight they arrived at the mouth
OF Moose river, the stream that flows
from the Brassua lakes. Here the men
loaded the doctor upon ''moose sled,"
as the long, low sedges of the Maine
woods are called, and hauled him for
fifteen miles along he lonely "tote" road
through the dim morning hours.
He found fifteen men i'll at the camp.
With the assistance OF the cook and the
cooks assistant he did what he could for
them. While he was engaged in this
work courier came out from another
camp few miles away. He bore IN
urgent message for the doctor. So the
latter made the trip to that camp on
Jumper" drawn by two horses that
galloped along the tote" road. He sat
twisting his legs around the standards.
The exercise kept HIM awake. He got
four hours sleep that night, and before
daylight was on his way home.
| This Is not an exceptional case 1t is
merely an example OF some of the ex-
| periences that befall Northern Maine
phys Iclans every week.

Georgetown is peninsula, and its
physician has wonderful variety Of

an urgent call for him from across the

cane aud the snow was flying, but he
went, of course. He treated his patient

led around by the side OF the cove and
was In ali exposed position. He deter
mined to cross the marshes by the direct
route.
Half way across he lost his way in the
blizzard. .Grope where The would, he
could not locate himself, and the salt

to risk himself on it in tie night. So ne

In the biggest northeasterly blow OF
the early spring, naptha launch twenty
two feet long came off Matinicus Isle
aud into RockIand harbor after doctor.
Matinicus Is twcnty-one miles off-shore,
long, low island out ofsight OF the coast
line. To come from 1t the navigator
must steer by compass. That Sunday
morning OF the big blow the residents OF
Rockland who admire spectacles of that
sort went down to Owls Head to see the
surf. 1t was the great sight of the win
ter. The dull rumble shook windows In
the city buildings three miles away.
Through that sea from Mstinicus came
the twenty-five footer. Understand that
it was not the ordinary naphtha launch
Of the lakes. Such.a craft would not have
lived ten minutes in that sea. 1t was a
herring fisherman's launch, but, staunch
though it was, 1t was desperate venture
that three anxious men of far Matinicus
undertook that Sunday. But the case was
one OF life or death; a skilled surgeon was
needed.
The people who we're massed on Owls
Head left off watching the surf to follow
the course OF this bold little craft. 1t
was long struggle to get into the har-
Dor, for the wind WAS against the launch,
and the boat was able to make only four
or five knots an hour. But 1t finally
clawed around the end Of the breakwater
and reeled up to the wharf,
Ten minutes later it was off again for
Matinicus with the doctor huddled in
the stern. The crowd watched 1t lunge
out into the open tumult OF the bay. As
1t receded the watchers on the cliff would
lose sight Of it for five minutes at time,
SO tremendously did the seas rave and toss
about it. Some one would calculate: alt
has foundered!" Then mo, there 1t
| is again!" and man with al glass would
point out the little speck bobbing out
there among the stalking pillows. And
at last ii was seen no more.
1t WIS three days before the doctors
/ friends in Rock aud knew the result OF
his venture. The storm kept on in vi
| lence, and no news cameifrom Matinicus
| Then on the third day, the wind moder-
atec, and the physician came back on the
too. He looked as one Of Ulyssess mari
ners must have looked. "a drowned raj

China'S War Possibilities.

1t appears to be dawning on the
minds of European statesmen that ap-
palling dangers might arise from the
armament and equipment of the ORR
entail people with modern weapons of
destruction. 1t is estimated that Chi
ma could readily put in the field an ar
my of from a million to five million
of men. If these troops were provided
with modern rifles and effective artil-
lery, it can readily be seen that China
would be impregnable because of the
overwhelming numbers it could COM
mand. 1t would be a singular result
of the greed for wealth If Germany,
in the event of war with China, should
find the latter using against its invad-
ers the arms and ammunition supplied
for a profit. The question of :. selling
munitions of war to semi-civilized ma
tions is agitating the English parlia-
ment, and not long since an attempt
was made to pass bill in that body
placing limitations on the exports Of
military supplies.-Leslie's Weekly.

places the attendance in the evening
at 1900 people. The Marietta band

COLLEGE NEWS.
Items Of Interest to Students and Pro-
feSSOrS.

About five o'clock last evening there
was good deal of excitement about
the College. The basement of the
Dormftory, which was fitted up for a
gymnasium last year, Is being utilized
during the present season by the
Academy foot ball team as dressing
room. The gas in the stove was light
ed about this time in the evening and
in some manner set the ceiling on fire
by reason of a defctivs fiue. The
flames burned a hole through the floor
of the room used by the Y. M. c. A.
The alarm was turned in and the fire
department made the run only to find
the fire all extinguished.
The usual Hallow Fen rivalry be-
tween the classes of the Academy and
the College has already begun to man
fest itself, and as the time draws near
to that period which, among College
students is always the signal for cane
rushes, the feeling becomes more pro-
nounced and interesting class
Scraps may result. 1906 put UP their
colors on the chimney of the Dormi-
tory and the doughty warriors of 1907
assembled to take them down. AS
there were only two of the '06 men to
guard the colors, the latter were torn
from the improvised flag staff. When
'O6 got out of the class room they
made it interesting for the members
of, the other class and both say this is
only the beginning.
The first rhetoricals of the season
for the Academy will be held Friday
at 2:45 p. m. The program which has
been arranged is very interesting and
instructive.
