The Thames embankment is in danger.
There is the prospect of changing cleo
trio tramways whizzing along it. At
present it is little other than a beau
tiful boulevard, fringed on one side
with charming gardens, where in the
cool of the evening brass bands delight the
ears of London's populace with The Hon
eysuCkle and the Bee or THE Wasp and
the CaulifOwer," or whatever be the name
of the butcher boys favorite melody for the

Arabs straddle the bronze Sphnxes and
throw stones at the seagulls that sweep
and skim looking for floating crusts upon
the river. Love-sick city clerks and the
young ladies who sell milk and buns at the
"A. b. c." shops share the broad seats be-
neaths the silvery-limbed beeches with
fusty, cadgiug ne do-wells.
In the balconies of the great hotels. the

"ONE DAYS CATCH"
BY Raleigh Wilson.

1t was a fine morning and nature
had put on her most beautiful garb
of green as the sun rose over the hills
about the little town Of Titania
This picturesque village was situat-
ed on two sides of a river. one divis-
ion known as East Titania and one as
West Titania. 1t was noted for miles
around for its abundance of fish and
game.
1t was on one of these fine mornings
that the regular train pulled into East
Titania: then came the boisterous
yells Of the baggagemen, the rumbling
of wheels, the putting of the engine
and the alighting of the passengers
on the platform.
A number of passengers descended
to the platform, among them being
two richly clad men, one in high rub
ber boots. canvas coat and hat. He

Il amt got two bits." said the boy,
and proceeded to demonstrate that he
would get his hat, when the gentle
man wit ha derby hat said,
''I'll bet hats"
That's a go, too," the lad said.
AS the men turned to go on to the
hardware store the boy turned and
said:

other purchased a fishing rod, hooks,
line tackle, sinker and bobber
The boy had reached home by this
time and had prepared a little lunch,
and had fixed his hook and line and
dug some worms for bait. He then
shouldered his tackle. and wrapped
his lunch in a paper.
After slowing their hooks and small
articles in a valise the men started

The boy promptly offered to give his
hat, but the men refused to accept it,
saying that they would buy him
new one If anything.
After speaking kind words for him,
the man with the derby hat related
his misfortune, it being the slipping
off of his diamond stud into the water
while he was STOPPING over the river
But the recital had no affect on the
boy, for he did not realize the value
of real diamond. and turned
straightway and started home with
the thought that he had once been
beaten in the art Of catching fish.
AS he reached home he heard the
rumbling of the evening passenger,
and then he thought again of the re-
.cital the man made, for they were to
return to their home which was not
far distant, on the Pullmans.
He soon let it slip out of his mind,
however, and went to his usual work
of dressing fish for supper, as his
mother was an invalid.
He fumbled in a drawer for knife
and found the one he wanted He in
serted it in the fishs white belly and
skillfully slit it down the middle to
the fish's tail. He then examined it
out of mere curiosity and discovered
diamond stud, partly penetrating
the fish's left side!
The thought came to him at once
that hungry fish had come along
swallowed the stud, and swan further
down the stream. There it had seen

causing him to make Dolores his home
and for a time he gained steadily. AL
most as soon as he came into the town
he began the practice of medicine and
during the time since has followed it
with untiring energy, and many times
he has answered calls when he was
slcker and far more in need of rest than
his patients. On Friday before death
claimed him he went to wait upon
Mrs. james Morrison at Arriola, and
on Saturday morning made his last
call, going to attend little Mary
Harris.
No one knew his condition better
than himself, yet there was no LAYING
down or giving up the struggle. His
one aim, one thought seemed to be to
provide for the future of his wife and
baby and to that end he bent his
energies. Often the remark has been
made, 81 don't see how DIR. Haefeli

of steel and indomitable courage he
fought that dread disease, consumption,
until the inevitable came.
DR.. Louis Charles Haefeli was born
in Cleveland, Ohio, on December l6,
1867, and learned the machnists trade,
but later took up the practice of medi-
cine. He departed this life on Monday
morning, July IS, 1902, at about $50
O'Clock. Four children were born to
the doctor and wife, three of whom
have been taken from them, little
girl who died at Dillon, Colo, and two
little boys who died here The wife
and little boy, Louis, are left to mourn
his death, and all who knew the doctor
extend sincere sympathy to them in
in their sorrow. An aged father at
Cincinnati, o., brother and sister at
Cleveland, o., and a brother i'll Illinois
also survive him.
The funeral was held at the residence
on Tuesday afternoon at o'clock, the
services being conducted by Mr.. w. S.
Snallwood. 1t was the Doctors last
request that he be buried in the Do
lores cemetery between his two little
boys and this was carried out to the
letter. The large cortege which fol-
lowed the remains to their last resting
place tells the esteem in which the
Doctor was held.

The Country Doctor.
BY WILL CARLETON,

There's gathering in the village. that ha.
never been outdone
Since the soldiers took their muskets to the wal
of sixty-one;
And lot of lumber-wagons near the church
upon the hill.
And a crowd of country people, Sunday dressed
and very still.
Now each window is pre-cmpted by dozen
heads or more,
Now the spacious pews are crowded from the
pulpit to the door;
For with coverlet of blackness on his portly
figure spread,
Lies the grim old country DOCTOR in a massive
oaken bed.
Lies the fierce old country doctor,
Lies the kind old country doctor,
Whom the popuiace considered with mingled
love and dread.
Maybe halfthr congrctsa ton now pf great or
little worth,
Found this watcher waiting forthem, when they
came upon the earth;
T.-is undecorate soldier, OF a hard unc ,ual
strife,
Fought in many stubborn battles with the foes
that SOUGHT their life.
In the night-time or the daytime, he would rally
brave and we'll.
Though the summer lark was fling or the frozen
lances fell;
Knowing If he won the battle, they would praise
their Makers name,
Knowing it he lost the battle, then the doctor
was to blame.
Twas the brave old virtuous doctor.
Twas the good old faulty doctor,
Twas the faithful country doctor-iishting
stoutly all the same.
When many pincd in sickness, he had stood
SO strongly by,
Half the people felt notion that the doctor
couldn't die;
They must slowly learn tho lesson how to live
from day to day.
And have somehow lost their bearings nov this
landmark is away.
But perhaps it still is better TINT his busy life
is done:
He has seen old views and patients disappear
ing, ono by one;
He has learned that Death IL master both OF
Science and of Art
He has done his duty fairly, and has acted out
his part.
And the strong old country doctor;
And the weak old country doctor
