The modern malay Of love is nerves.
Love, once simple madness. now observes
Tbs stages of his passionate disease
And is twice sorrowful, because he sees,
Inch by inch entering, the fatal knife.

And let me-. for one midnight, cease to hear
The clock forever ticking in my ear,
The clock that tells the minutes in my brainl

It was at o club dinner. The
guests had just taken their seats
at the tables. The colored walters,
resplcrdent in full dress, were bus
Ting about with itching palms. A
jolly party sat down at one of the
tables. The leader took his seat at
the cad of the table and beckoned
to ole Of the walters. As the ex-
pectant darky leaned over him the
:lubman took slowly from his pock-
ct a wallet and from that crisp,
new So bill. With the greatest de-
liberation he folded it through the
center, while the walters eye began
to roll. Laying the bill on the Ia
bic, he pressed his knife along the
crease and calmly tore the BIZ in
two to the horror of the waiter and
to the surprise of his own party.
One half of the bill he tucked into
his vest pocket. The other half he
handed to the waiter, remarking la
conically, s"The Iest after dinner
perhaps" There wasn't another ta-
bic in the room that got the serv-
ice that that table got, and the wait
er was finally rewarded with the
other half of the bill.-Exchange.

ico's, Shcrry's, the Waldorf Astoria
and Rector's are paid 81 cents day,
and on this foundation they make
an average of $3.50 u month. The
difference, of course, represents the

"Thc best walters come from the
German cantons Of Switzerland. In
fact, all Swiss walters are compe-
tent. Most Of them are educated in
the waters school at Geneva and
obtain positions over here through
the German agency in Sixth avenue.
In June there is great exodus of
walters to Europe, where they spend
the dull summer months in the little
Swiss towns with envious relatives.
Cali Swiss walters speak two Ian

The late George Bidder, at the
age of 8, could answer almost in
stantly how many farthings there
were in any sum under S68, ,424, ,121
pounds. Zerah Colburn was anoth-
er lightning calculator Of The same
generation. Once he Was asked to
name the square Of 999,999, which
he instantly stated to be 099,998,-
000,0O1. He multiplied this by 40
and the product by the same num-
ber, and the total result he then
multiplied by rs. He could raise
the figure 8 to the sixteenth power
almost instantly and with perfect
ease. he once instantly named the
ia :tors of 941 and 263 and in five
seconds calculated the cube root of

HE WOULD TRAxEL

Once in awhile one sees in some
New England village people who
have scarcely set foot outside the
narrow limits of their own township
in the course Of their lives. These
people, even in their most wide
awake and vigorous years, have a
way of measuring the outside world
by their own simple standards which
is quite refreshing.
"What should you do if you had
money, William?'' inquired one Of
the group gathered around the big
fireplace in the little inn or tavern
at Hilltown of the tavern keeper,
who was counted man of wide ex-
perience and wisdom by his friends.
saThe first thing should do," said
William judicially, els what I would
advise any one to do fix up my

ments in the old place, and then" +"

When it is moist and yellowish

that means scarlet fever. Sharp

The Doctor and the Editor

The doctor from Algonia said that
newspapers are run Eor revenue only. !
What in thunder do doctors run for,
anyway? Do they run for glory? One
good healthy Doctors bill will run his
Office six months. An editor works
half day for three dollars with an
investment of 5000; doctor looks
wise and works ten minutes for s2 900
with an investment Of three cents for
catuip and pill box that costs
$l.37. A doctor goes to college for
three years. gets diploma and string
of words the devil himself cannot pro.
nouncs, cultivates look of gravity
that he pawns off for wisdom, gets
box of pills, cayusu and meat saw
and sticks out his shiugle full aedg-
ed doctor. He will then doctor you
until you die, at stipulat,d ID price per
visit, and puts them in as thick as
your pccketbook will nermi. Aasaai-
tor never gets his education finished;
! he learns as long as he lives, aud stud
les ali his life. He cats bran mash
aud liver, he takes his pay in hams
aud turnips. aud keeps the doctor in
town by rcfrsining from printing the
truth about him. We would like to
live in Algonia and run a newspaper
six months and see if the doctor would
change his mind about our running
e newspaper for revenue only. If We
didn't get souie slcry out Of it we
would agree to take orc dose of his
pills, after first saying our prayers. If
the edite- makes d mistake ne mas to
apologize for it; but if the doctor
makes mistake he buries it. If we
meke ono there is a lawsuit, tall
swearing and smell of sulphur; but
if the doctor makes one there is o
funeral, cut flowers and smell of var
nish. The doctor can use word a
foot long; but if the editor uses it he
has to spell it. If the doctor goes to
see another man g wife he will charge
for the visit. If the editor calls on
another mans wife he gets charge of
buckshot. Any medical college can
make doctor. You can't make an
editor. He has to be born onc When
q doctor gets drunk it is q case of
overcome by heat, and if he dies il
is heart failure. When an editor gets
drunk it is case Of too much booze,
and if he dies it is case of delirium

ing, while the doctor works to ward
off the gout The editor helps men to
live BETTER and the doctor assista

can collect his bills at all. Revenue
only! We are only living for fun aud

AN ISLAND THAT CHANGES colon


Think of an island that changes
color every day-an island that vi
bratcs between bilious yellow and
alt apoplectic purplei Yet such an
island exists in the gulf Of Mexico
days sail from New Orleans; only
a asmall island, with the greater por-
ton of it broad, low beach, which
for long time was quite mysteri-
ous in its complexion.
But the mystery has been solved,
and. like all mysteries after careful
Investigation, it turns out to be a
simple, easily understood phenome-
HDn. That The beach of this island
should show the usual neutral sand
color was to be expected. but why,
after the tide had receded from it,
it should begin to grow purple at
its upper edge and continue to
change to that color until the ap-
pearance Of sand was entirely gone
was thl mystery, particularly to
those who did not go near enough
to see what made the change. It is
all on eecouns Of millions Of purple
snsils which crawl down-the beach
in the wake of the ebbing tide and
again retreat as it begins to rise.
Now this changeable bit Of earth is
Known as Snail island.

"; he was born man, but died
agrocer." The man had disappear
ed in his calling. We often find that
q mans vocation has swallowed
aim; that it has completely over
ghelmed him; that there is nothing

bis occupation.
1t is a contemplate estimate of
avocation to regard it .As the means
Of getting o living. The man who is
not greater than his calling, who
3ocs not overtop his vocation, SO
that it runs over on all sides, is not

MAINE GUN HUNTERS.
How the Veterans Operate I'm
the Spruce Forests.


The life Of a gum picker in the
Maine forests, without donbtt, is the
most lonely that man can lead.
The men 60 into the woods in Oc-
tober, and they make q study of
spruce growth. They have an odd
outfit, consisting generally of sew
eral poles and knives, a pair of
snowshoes, small dog, couple Of
blankets and pair Of climbers"
like those used by telegraph line
men.
The gum pickers travel alone and
have secrets, like gold hunters.
They follow the wake of the old
whirlwinds that have left long fur
rows in the wilderness, and as long
as they can track the course hy tho
gum that forms on trees wounded
the previous season they follow it
along. Sometimes a gum hunter
finds that his pathway has been in
tercepted by another hunter who
had discovered the lead, and a new
plan of campaign must he resorted
There are many men who GO into
the woods to chop trees or swamp
roads at $25 a month who work ev-
cry Sunday in digging gum from
the boughs of the spruces, and in
that way they greatly increase their
earnings, although they are not
nearly SO successful as the profes-
sional digger. The veteran gum
hunter has made his occupation q
life study and has reduced the work
to science. He can 60 up tree
Ike q cat and skin it bare Of gum
from stump to top while the logger
would be getting ready to climb.
The lumberman generally gets 20
to 80 pounds Of gum in winter
and sells it at from 80 cents to $1.25
a pound, according to quality.
A professional gum hunter can
make from So to So day when he
strikes really good gum country.
When he gets into good place, he
keeps very quiet about it until he
has gathered the last lump in sight.
He makes from $4O0 to $500 in a
season, and he earns every cent of
it by hard, lonely work.-Bangor
