PHYSICIAN AND HELPER.

Des Moines NeWs.]
No other who comes into the sacred
precincts of the home is so nearly on
an equality with the head of the house
hold as the family physician. To the
physician must be given the fullest
confidence by every afflicted person.
He must have the innermost secrets of
the heart if he would be best prepared
to be the helper desired in the hour of
trouble. The physician needs to know
it all; and II he measures up the re-
quirements of his profession he is ac-
corded all necessary confidence.
Ever and in all ages the physician is
the helper. He can not do everything;
nor he can he overcome the inevitable.
All that he can do is to assist the
suffering person to regain health and
strength or to restore the broken limbs
or unite the severed membranes Of
the physical body by the application of
such remedies and restoratives as have
been proven by science to be useful.
He ought to even go further, at least
in most cases, and furnish something
of the confidence which the sick one
needs, and to be a guide and an in
spiration to those who have him only
to look to for guidance.
What is written of one, may also be
written of many, for it is to the credit
Of the profession that the position Of
the physician as the adviser and helper
in the family is ever kept at the front

AN INExCUSABLE PRACTICE.
TSpirit Lake BeacOn.1
In former years, when society was
less finished. wedding guests and close
friends were not expected to practice
all kinds Of rudeness toward the bride
and groom, but it has come to pass,
that closely following the solemn SER
vice so important to human destiny all
the rules of courtesy and all the
canons of really polite society are wont
to be violated. Private rooms are
ransacked, private sanctity violated,
personal rudeness extra ordinary prac-
ticed, travelling arrangements inter
rupted, studied humiliation is inflicted,
vulgarity is not avoided, just because
a man and woman have taken upon
themselves solemn vows that precede
the most important relationship OF
their whole lives. 1t would be just as
fitting and refined to take a man or
woman who has Just united with the
church and put them on the rack OF
rude social torture just to tickle the
hilarious fancy of unthinking young
sters. It is simply contemplate to so
treat the solemn ordinance of marriage.
If they are duly prepared to enter
upon the solemn obligations the bride
strain. Why should real friends strive
to add to their natural nervous per-
plexity by infinite torture and rude
ness. Why should any young person
regard the marriage hours with feel
ing such as to suggest the FRANKS so
common in later days? While this IN
excusable practice prevails the d.
yorce courts are by no means the only
agencies bringing contempt upon the
marriage ceremony.

How the Kentuckian Put Out the Light

When Plus Whallen of Springfield,

saw his first incandescent light. But he
eyinccd no great surprise. 1T was not
until he went to his room, where the
bellboy had already switched the current,
that he noticed there was nc opening in
the circular globe.
He blew upon it gently, and was en-
couraged rather than disheaItened TO find
that it didn't blow out. But the enc0ur-
agement turned to anger when stronger

Nhalen has strong lungs, and he did his

To his great relief he noticed that the
string hy which the strange light was
suspended contained Il loop to shorten it.
The light hung over the dresser. Mr..
Whallen let ont the loop and put the light
in the top drawer of the dresser. He
closed the drawer and found to his sat

Now listen TO a tale of woe.
For months past the Graefin Won Blueb-
BERN, who moved IN the very highest So
ciety of well known suburb of London,
had been playing at Bridge with a set OF
people who knew great deal g.oTe of
that any every other kind of game than
she did. For an Italian nobleman, who
was known as the Marquis of Stromboli,
and Il Greek gentleman from the Leyant,
who was known as the Count d Aero
polish, and a few other choice selections
from the foreign noblesse, had undertake
Ell to teach her the fascinating game, and
at last she found she owed them ElSI5.
Then they said they wouldn't mind hav-
ing the money. and became threatening
so that finally she took the advice of il
friend of hers who had set up an adver-
tiSing detective office.
And this worthy persons advice, for
which he didn't charge anything from an
old friend, though he said he could rec
ommend Il first class solicitor if she
wanted one, was good if laconic.
Sell your jewels and pay the gentle
men" lie advised. Then, next time You
20 abroad, take care to have the jewel
case stolen. Only be sure and take care
not to have it ever found again. When
you've done it III try and get the count
and the marquis to knock off Il bit. and
Wen SO halves in what we save Ta-ta.
Yyonne!'
So this was the guilty plot which
lvonne and Phoebe were now trying to
bring to Il satisfactory conclusion. since
the jewels themselves had been sold in
brussels on the return journey from the
Schlo<s Won Bluebberin. and by the time
the train reached Paris the jewel case
was gone. So. too, was Bill--phoebe' S
brother-who got out ut the last station

howled " hen he heard Of the loss as the
train ran into Paris. "Achl mein Gott.

would Friedrich der Crosse say? Ach.

Then he gave Phoebe into The custody
of the Chef de Ia Surete. and asked that
functionary to have a glass of beer, and
sat down on a bench and wept.
Phoebe was released because the police
saw no signs of guilt. but only careless
ness, in her conduct, and the Graf was
conSoied by Yyonnc telling him that ii
he would only let her 80 back TO the

USE GOATS TO CLEAR LAND.
Animals Destroy Noxious Weeds and
Useless Shrubs in the West.

Angora goat farming is attaining large
proportions in Pierce county, Wash. The
largest goat farm in the county, and
probably in the northwest, is that locat-
ed on the Orting branch of the Northern
Pacific railroad and belonging to the Car
bonade Cattle company. The company
now has 2000 goats, and the goats are
cleaning the hills off at rate that is as
tonishing the settlers in the vicinity Of
the farm.
The farm consists OF 5000 acres of
land. OF this 100 acres are cleared,
slashed. The goats are expected to keep
down all underground, brush and weeds.
A member Of the company, who is in the
city, said today that the goats eat salal
brush, the Oregon grape, weeds of all
kinds, young fir, cedar. pine, hemlock,
spruce and all other kinds of young trees
that may peep through the ground. 1t is
even claimed that the goats find skunk
cabbage an excellent relish and use it as
a dessert after hearty meal on the barr
Of trees, ferns and such like.
The goats have proved handsomely re-
munerative. The produce anywhere
from and to 8 and 10 pounds of tih-
pounds have been produced. Last year
this hair sold at $l.10 pound. The
company now has nine miles of wire
fence, but this is used entirely for turn
ing cattle.
The promoters of the company declare
that the Angora goat is a revolutonizinS
factor in the settlement and retaining
of the wild lands of the state. The goats
make an absolutely clean sweep, leaving
nothing behind them after they have
pastured on a logged-off tract for a time
but the old stumps and logs. On this
land grass can be sown and will thrive
luxuriantly. A beauty about the goat
is that he abhors grass or any other kind
of fare that is dear to kline, sheep and
clear lands of noXious and pestiferous
plant life, the farmer following the goat )
conQuering tread with grass seed which
gets such a hold that ferns saial, Oregon
grape and other matted underground can
not propagate with their pristine yigor.
