HARD WORK IN BEING DOCTOR.

An American woman asked Conan Doyle one
dav why he had given up the practice Of medt-
cine
Because the work was too hard" Doyle
answered.
''oh. it can't be hard to be DOCTOR" said the
woman.
cit is both hard and unpleasant. And to prove
IT," said the novelist. "Tn tell you about my first
case.
My first case came to me in the middle OF the

FLAGMAN WAS WELL wAKED UP.
Incident in Career Of Marcus Smith When
Canadian Pacific Was Projected.

The recent renewal OF discussion OF the Grand
Trunk Pacific project for second railroad across
the Dominion OF Canada reminded a railroad man
the other day OF this story OF Marcus Smith:
He made survey of the route which the
road proposes 70 follow when the Canadian Pacific
projected. The party under Smith was run
ming lines one sleepy Indian Summer day on ths
headwaters OF the Saskatchewan River. When rs
wanted TO take sight on the rear nag be dts
covered that It was not being held IN line All
sorts OF signals were tried. but the attention ot
the hagman could not be attracted
Finally Smith jumped into a blackboard and
drove back over the line. Presently tbs other.
of the party heard half dozen revolver shots.
Then Smith came back alone and with never
word of explanation.
Hours passed. but the fagnnan did not appear.
They made camp, g tent for the and
apart from it for Marcus Smith. Tho surveyors
chief, dangerous IL would have been, when
the missing hagman crawled out OF the brush and
into the tent.
Il went to sleep he confessed and was
awaked by great big paw-ke hand cutting ms
vigorously. | scrambled up and started to run.
he gained on me and managed to trip him up.
Then he started to shoot. and i made for the
bush faster than ever"
The man greatly troubled about his future
course. His fellows advised him to turn out with
the crew in the morning, though nothing had
thought IL was taking long chances. but finally
decided to risk IL. The CrUSty old surveyor did
not refer to il in any way. and the hagnan
kept awake there were no more flying shots
