THE COUNTRY PHYSICIAN.
Has to Cover an Immense Territory, and That When the Roads
 Are Worst.

"Of all the men l meSt on my rounds of the state there is none, for whom I have as great respect as I have for the country doctor," said the Southdown drummer the other day, according to the Chicago Inter Ocean. "The city physician is often a pretty hard working man if he has much of a practice, but he knows few of the, trials that the country doctor faces the year round. The coun. try doctor is the modern mar, tyr, and take it all through he is the best read and most aggres. sive citizen of his community.
 "Ths country phsician who Is we'll established usually has q practice that covers a territory of at least 9 hundred square miles. There is hardly a week in the year that he does not have patients at the extreme opposite boundary lines of his territory. l know one old doctor down the state who drives an average dis. tance of 20 miles a day every day in the year. Of course there are days when he does not drive five miles a day, but there are other times when he drives 30 or 70 miles a day.
 'The worst side of country practice, these doctors say, is that the greater part of the sick ness comes during the worst kind of weather. When the roads are good and the weather is fine peo. pie are not so apt to be sick, but when winter comes on and the roads are rough or muddy the country doctor is the man who has to be out and going.
 "The mud roads of Illinois have shipped ten years off the lives of the majority of the doc tors. One physician told me he was the first man of his family name to become gray, and he laid the blame to exposure.
 "The country doctor is not merely physician. He is sort of family counselor, nurse, spirit. ual and legal adviser. l heard of a physician down in the southern part of the state who conducted a sort of vest.pocket bank and loaned money and discounted notes for nearly every farmer within the range of his practice.
 "Yes, sir, always take off my hat to the country doctor wher- ever I meet him."

"Radium Sirup."

A practical joke, now common among Parisians, is to go into a drug store and ask for three cents worth of radium. At first the chemists took it good,naturedly, but latterly 1t has become quite a nuisance. One chemist in the Rue de Rivoli has just hit upon a way of getting even with the would-be jokers. He has made a concoction which he calls "radium sirup" and when the practical joker arrives gravely hands out a sznall quantity, charging an extrs tive cents fer the bottle.

- THEIR OWN BARBERs.
Sales of RaEors Indicate That More Men Than Ever Be-
 sore Shave Themselves,

"rhere are sold in this country to- day." said a cutlery man. according to ,he New York Sun. "a hundred times as many razors as were sold here 4O years ago.
 Some share of this increase is due,
 if course. to the advance in population, but the greater part is due to the large increase in the proportion of men who shave themselves Moe men than ever before now possess this polite art.
 with a greater number of individ. uaI users of razors there are, of course, many more razors nov sold. And, of course. plenty of men own more than one razor; everyone o,ght to own two. 1t least, as many mea do. One good razor properly cared for might serve ks purpose continuou,ly and we'll for . long time without rgrinding or hon. Ing, but an accident might happen to 1t. and against that man guards by having at least ono extra razor.
 Many men buy sets of seven razors. ono for each day in the week, and there are men who have sets of 31 razors. one for every day in the month. And tray. elers going to distant countries and into regions where facilities would be lack ing buy cases of razors to take with them. A traveller starting out with q case of half . dozen razors in perfect condition would have razor outfit that, with such care as he could be- stow upon 1t himself. would serve him we'll for years.
 "The best razor that can be made can be bought with plain handle for two dollars; anything more than that in the cost of 1t would be in the mounting in pearl handles and so on. You can buy a case of seven nne razors. sim- ply mounted, for 312. or you can pay $50 or more for . case of razors with the same blades. but with fine mount. ings and in . finer case"

HERO AND THE TOOTHACHE
Remarks Thereon by . Disillusioned sGirl-He Had Faced Death
 at Santiago.

"I used to be given to hero worship" said the girl with the Russian sable huff to her companion of the long, dark eyelashes, according to the New York Sun. "But, dear, we change. do we not? Do you'recall how I spent the last of my pin money to attend a reception that the club arranged for a certain hero?
 "Well, the week before last l was coming up from Palm Beach. On the train was a hero who had withstood a dozen hostile fires at Santiago. He had toothache, a simple little toothache, and he bel. lowed like calf. thought of the five teeth that I had pulled out in one afternoon without gas and asked myself if the man was real. ly brave. I decided that a hero must have a toothache such as the ordinary mortal never dreamed of.
 "One of the train hands who sympathized with the hero said: The best thing for a toothache is whisky. If l had one I'd fill up'.- and he did. l mean my hero, that was, did. Don't talk to me in flu ture of hero worship. Facing death may be one thing, but I'd rather face death than be afraid of a toOthache. Have bon bon ?"

AN ODD OLD CHARACTER.
kate, the Bumboat Woman, Who Has Haunted Washington's Navy
 yard for Forty Years,

Kate, the bumboat woman, is the title applied to an odd crea- ture who has been haunting the Washington navy yard for the past 40 years, says the Washing ton Post. Her name is Kate Royal, and as far back and further than the oldest man connected with the yard can remember, Kate has been making her daily trips with her basket of candy, fruit and notions to sell to the sailors who visit Washington on Uncle sam's boats. Kate has speaking acquaintance with all the great men of the army and navy. She has letters and presents from most of them, including Amirals Dewey, Sampson and Schley.
 Kate made her first visit to the yard during the civil war. She was young woman in those days, and her bright Irish ways made her a great favorite. In later years, when age began to creep upon her, she began to form an opinion that she was an active and indispensable part of the navy. She considered herself an enlisted person and became as de- voted to the cause as the most loyal man. It is just 40 years since Kate began to consider herself | sailor.
 She has had ten red enlistment stripes, representing four years each, placed upon a field of blue cloth, and this she wore to cele. brate the anniversary.
 Kate is a picturesque charac. ter. Her form is bowed beneath the weight of 70 years, and her face is scanned with the marks of time. Only her eyes still retain the brilliancy of youth, and they sparkle with the same Irish hu- nor and good nature that gleamed from them 40 years ago.
 Kate has no regular hours of business. She is on hand with the rising sun, and the late hours of the evening find her still on duty. She gathers her little stock of trade around her under the fore. castle of one of the United States boats lying up at the yard, and with the sailor boys lying around her on the floor she will tell them tales of her youth or crone Irish melodies for them until the signal for lights out is passed around, and the sailors seek their swing ing hammocks, and Kate shoul. ders her basket of goods and wan. ders home.

cGMriNUEs TO SAY NOTHING.

Judge Parker has prepared a long
speech of acceptance In which he sue
ceeds in maintaining his attitude of
| silence. To date no one has been able
| to learn just where he stood on the
main public questions at issue. And no
one will know any more about 1t now.
The first half of his address is devoted
to an essay upon the fundamental prin-
ciples of self government in which
Judge Parker demonstrates that the
White House is sure to produce some
fine sermons in the future regardless
of the outcome of the election In No

In two paragraphs devoted to the
tariff issue the judge says that our
present rates of duties are unjust anG,
so framed as to exact inordinate profits
from the people but he hastens to ex-
plain that even il he should be elected
it is not likely that the republican SEN

A PROFITABLE OPPORTUNITY.

Experts connected with the United
States geological survey, after con-
tinued and exhaustive investigation
predict complete exhaustion OF the an
thracite coal supply within fifty years.
The Pennsylvania field Is the only one
we can depend upon. no other deposits
of magnitude existing in this country.
Small and easily exhausted packets of
these are not considered as at all pro-
missing. Unless other hard coal fields
shall have been discovered the conclu-
sion of the biologists is that the year
1854 will see the finish of our hard
coal supply: consequently we are not to
look for lower prices but steadily in
creasing scale.
1t is here that Iowa and her peat
deposits and mud lakes comes in. II
the price of hard coal is to remain
about $40 per ton. and peat briauettes
are, as we are assured, an excellent
great opportunities for profit In their
manufacture. There are Incompetent
sible volumes of heat stored away In
the peat bogs of northern Iowa wait
ing to make the manufacturer of fuel
wealthy and furnish employment for
an army OF workers. There seems
little danger that briquette plant
operated with business judgment would
fail to make money. The local demand
would keep fairly extensive plant
busy all the year round. The demand
is ready and awaiting the supply. The
investment is not great in proportion
TO the promise of profit Why doesn't
Iowa manufacture briquettes?

A SENSIBLE STAND,

for it's success upon the licensing of
gamblers and sellers of intoxicating
liquors or misunderstanding liquors.
such as are represented in the various
beer Stops sold under pretty names.
and they voted to keep the Sac county
fair clean. Indeed as the Sun Is in
formed, after thorough canvass of the
matter, the directors voted unanimous
~ for clean fair. This is In line with
the attitude of the management of
some of the most successful fairs in
northwest Iowa, but unfortunately in
advance of the attitude of the manage
ment of others Those who want to
see good fair should come to Sac
City Those who want to be educated
by contact with gamblers and thugs
should go elsewhere. They are not
not wanted at Sac City.
