CHAPTER II,
A MIDNIGHT MYSTERY,

! Despite the predictions of my friend,
the ianitor, I had not stumbled into q
mine of wealth in my new abode. [
did not find the populece waiting with
! outstretched arms TO welcome into
their circle that most distrusted of all
men, a young physician. Success, if
such thing existed for me, was COM
ing very much as success always
comes, with slow and tagging steps.
1t is true, now and then l had call
Not much OF call. generally, but
nevertheless, call. A servant burnt
her hand, and l attended the injured
member-for which service [ was never
paid. A hostler i'll stable on Mob Hill
was kicked in the knee, aud replaced
dislocated patella. A Chinaman,
rushing around late on Saturday
night with laundry-work for his
patrons; slipped and fell. The weight
of his basket, together with the shook,
broke his arm. With fearful ado he
was brought to me, and the fractured
bone was successfully set. For this,
as for everything else 1 ever did for
his class in San Francisco, was paid
in cash, consisting of ten-cent pieces
and nickels. These are fair samples
of the work I did during my first three
or four months in San Francisco.
l had plenty of time for reading,
and I greedily devoured the latest
novels and books of travels. A portion
of each day 1 managed to spend in
study.
Twas not recluse. My nature de-
handed companionship. And in
pursuit of this I met with a steadier
growth of success than in the practice
of my profession.
Within few blocks of my Office
there was magnificent church.
where the singing was grand, the
music superb and the preaching very
modern.
Here l was wont to betake myself
Sunday morning, and sit calmly and
quietly, restfully listening to the
peals of the great organ, as, under a
master hand, it sent forth melody un-
surpassed

ing we'll. 1 did not go in for fads; I
was not walking fashion-plate; but
my clothes were stylishly cut and al
ways fitted me. To be truthful and
as modest as possible, permit me to
say that l was tall, broad shouldered
and not bad-looking. At school Ihad
been an athlete, and now possessed,
as relics of those days, sundry medals
and prizes won in the athletic arena
That all this had anything to do
with the pleasing reception 1 had in
the Park Street Congregational
Church, would not be so unchristian
as to believe-much less to hint. But,
be it as it may, was received. The

"That will leave me time in which
to make my calls-if I ever have any
to make" said hopefully to the jan1-
tor, who had come to admire my sign
with me.
You'll make plenty of calls, doc
tor, never you fear," he replied, rub
bling his hands in gleeful anticipation
of my coming greatness.
II hope so, I assure you, Mr.. Rob
bins
ooh, you will I know it! You see
this is star location. No mistake
about that. Why, there's old Doctor
Baldwin, who has been here twenty
years. That old fellow, sir, just
rolled up wealth. But he never had
no such Office as this. That I'll bet
on. And then, you see, the advan-
tage you have. When you are dash
ing around making them calls, my old
woman, in white apron, answers the
bell and says: oh, you want to see
the doctor? Well, come right in and
wait. I think he will be here soon,
but Lord knows, poor man, he is
worked to death. He is busy all the
time Eli? How would that sound?
Or something like this: Your little
boy sick? My, my! But that's bad!
But the doctor will be in soon, and I
will send him right around before he

"Fauld! Pshaw! I see the money
pouring into your pockets now," re-
piled the sanguine janitor.
cit must be an edifying sight" I
answered. cit would do my eyes good
to see it-iust once"
Returning to my library, I took
down "Gross on Surgery" and soon
became deep in its interesting pages
that is, as deep as could be with my
ears waiting for the tinkle OF my bell
the sound that would first announce
the beginning of my career.

Diftecence Between TnfOematiou and

An Information is au accuse.

ment presented in court by. the
prosecuting officer without hav-

The law of 1900, authorizing
pr, ceedings by information pro.
vided that such information
should be sworn to by the pros.

AN INDICTMENT.

An indictment is a formal
written charge of crime, pre-.
ferred TO and presented to the
court by Grand Jury on oath
as basis for trial. -
Or, in plain English, Mr..
Folks methods have been
illegal. Now take either horn
of the dilema, He is either a
very poor lawyer or a vicious
one. The difference between
information and indictment
turned nine so-called boodlers
loose at one jolt.

An English Judge, Gwilyn Williams,
WAS a great stickler for form lin his
court, and especially that robes should
be worn by solicitors. He was so in
sistent upon this that one day recently
when he assembled the bench without
being duly robbed, all the courtroom
knew that he must have been unusu-
ally engaged to cause him to neglect
the matter. When the Judge noticed
the lack Of his robes he stopped court
proceedings, made a speech to the so
licitor on the absence of his gown and
wig, and fined himself 10 shilltngs,
which sum he Immediately paid into

Every Shrove Tuesday morning it 10

some connection with the baking OF

Good for ForaetfuI People.

A French postal clerk has evolved a
simple apparatus for dispensing with
the postage stamp and enabling any
one to get his letter franked after
office hours. The apparatus can be
afixed to any pillar box; coin Is
dropped into a slot, the corner Of the
letter is inserted, and the machine
stamps the envelope with the amount
paid. All you have to do, then, is to
drop the letter into the pillar box for
collection.

KEEP THE WALKS FREE OF
SNOW AND ICE.

Street Foreman 0vits has been do
ing a good service in clearing the
snow from the crossings of the city;
and in the work of keeping snow and
ice from the sidewalks and street cross
ings he should be aided by every
property owner and householder of
Mineral Point. An ordinance of the
city requires that call occupants or
owners of lots or parcels of land, or
the owners of the same when such lots
or parcels of land are not occupied,
shall keep their respective sidewalks
free of snow and free of ice; and fur
ther, that latter a thaw the slush and
mud shall be cleaned off to prevent it
from freezing" Should any person
fail to comply with these provisions
the street foreman is empowered to
clean the walks and charge the amount
for so doing against the property, to
be collected with other taxes, But the
ordinance should be cheerfully com.
piled with. Keeping the walks clear
will contribute to the comfort of each
and all and be an evidence of care and
thrift. Let the good example set by
the street foreman be generally fol-
lowed by our citizens in this matter
and all will be we'll.
