DOCTOR FOR POLICE STATION
Recent Deaths in the institution
 Suggests One.
Two Deaths Have Occurred There in the Past Two or Three Months-The Death of q Woman in the Station House Last Night Has Brought the Subject of House Physician Before the People.

dOuSe l1aSL NEIL HdS OIouSHL 5lHC Subject of House Physician Before the People.
 The number of lives that went out in the police station the past few years has prompted many to inquire if some thing could not be done to prevent a continuance of this business. In the public mind it makes no difference whether the victims are rich or poor, good citizens or bad ones, or what state they happen to be in when placed there, so long as the authorities take them into custody, the opinion seems to be general that some provision should be made to give them such treatment as their condition warrants It is but fair to assume that the mo-. tive which prompts officers to sspull in" certain offenders is to get them out of harms way, but the police authorities should not think that they have done all their duty to unfortunate people when they pick them up off the public streets and give them berth in the lookup. This is not aimed at any one in particular Every body knows that whoever happens to be in charge at the police station when an intoxicated person is arrested cannot sit down to watch the victim. norris he supposed to know whether the prisoner is in need of medical attendance, but It does seem that some system could be inaugural ed whereby physician would be called in all cases where the parties locked up are so helpless that no one except a doctor can tell much about their phy- sical needs. Wouldn'tit be better to have q physician summoned to dozen people who might have no use for his services rather than have one die who might be saved and probably return to the paths of rectitude if he had medi- cal treatment in due time?

the joint passenger association will
authorize the rate.
Fifty thousand dollars will be raised

people that 1t may be well to extend

There has been talk of making such

Valley Forge tract is one that appeals
still more strongly to the Imagination
Of the patriotic American, for the suf-

the nerve Of Washington and of his
patriots even more severely than the
dangers Of battle. It is strange that
the idea Of reserving this spot was not
acted upon a century ago, when the
whole tract could have been bought
for trifle. 1t should be bought now

Two Little Virginians
A True Story.

II felt so selfish, safe outside, with
all those poor things suffering in
there!"
With so many live pets, there was a
death occasionally and a regular burial
ground was provided for those they
had loved. Aunt Kathy heard loud
walls one afternoon. and looking from
her window saw approaching a sad
procession-Steenie carrying an old
trunk tray, on which was the body Of
a favorite cat, while Viola, armed with
shovel to dig the grave, walked be-
side him weeping.
They paused beside the paling fence
for the family to say farewell to dear
kitty" and then proceeded to their
cemetery.
Indoors these little Virginians had
lovely old cabinet with brass knobs
to the drawers, and here were arranged
on soft cotton a wonderful collection
of birds eggs, bright wings and but
terfies. Some of the eggs were from
the South-sea gulls, alligator and
heron, which Viola insisted on pro-
nouncing heron" Another drawer
held Indian relics-arrows and curios
taken from strangely formed mound
of stones which had been discovered
| near the river bank, where 1t was sup

| One day the children's grandma
heard a gnawing sound from the cab

mice had injured several of their most
precious treasures. Viola and Steenie
were in despair. and Viola cried:

Grandma succeeded in restoring mos
of the injured property, much to theil
delight, and arranged the things again
so the damage hardly showed.
They also owned large glass aqua.

grasses, with minnows, tadpoles ant
water insects. They had read Water
Babies" with great interest, and knew
as much as the author of these deni

they grew older, all over the place they
found and named beautiful spots where
they played, worked and dreamed

But most of all he loved mis- sister,

Both were fond of outdoor sports and
delighted to go barefoot. This once led
to what might have been serious ac-
cident, for one day while climbing up
into a cherry tree, Viola lost her hold
and fell through, her bare foot catch
ing by the heel in the notch of the
tree, and her head suspended over q
spiked fence. Steenie ran in terror to-
ward the house to bring Aunt Kathy to
the rescue. crying:
Come quick! quick! or Viola will
be killed."

disentagle the victim.
Another of her hair-breadth escapes
was to come bounding down on an old
cellar door which had lost its hinges.
Aunt Kathy, who h: ,>ened to be near,
sprang forward in time to break her
fall. When she was picked up unin-
jured, her aunt reminded her that she
SHOULD thank God for sparing her life,
and ths little girl Immediately knelt
down where she was, and said:
IT thank thee, dear Jesus, for letting
Aunt Kathy catch the cellar door," evil

Both children dearly loved Nellie
Gray, white horse on which they
rode together. Sometimes it happened
they got pitched over her head, and
then the horse would lift her feet care
fully for them to crawl safely out, and
neigh with delight.
One night the big barn took fire, and
grandma, who was visiting them at
Rose Hill. was so scared that she put
Steenie's clothes on him wrong side
out. Afterward she found the two
children on the garnet steps in the
dark, their hands clasped in each 9TH
er's, praying to God, away from the
confusion, thinking He could hear
them better off by themselves.
Afterward, when Viola was older, the
barn burnt down again, and seeing the
glare of the flames from the house, she
was the first one to try and get the
animals out. Her own riding horse
was among them, and in her efforts
TO save it, she went back twice into the
building and got severely burnt. She
