THIS DOCTOR WAS OUT.
Incident in a Night Practitioners Elk
perience Told by Himself.


A prominent physician in Balti
more recently perpetrated With
cism at his own expense. 1t was late
at night. The doctor had lost his
night key; the door was locked; he
was cold from a long ride, and the
more he rang the bell the more the
suspicion grew in his mind that some
one had chloroformed the entire
household.
Finally, however, his sister was
aroused by long ring of the bell.
Naturally she thought that there was
someone at the door who wished to
see the doctor, and that, as the doc
tor was out, she would herself have
to answer the summons, else the call
err would keep her awake for a long
time. So, hastily throwing a loose
gown over her nightdress, she hur-
ried to the door,
Opening the door the least bit, in
order not to present her dishabile to
an intruding eye, she shouted through
the crack in a tone of sleepy impa-
thence. 1.-The doctors out, - and was
about to close the door when the
physician thrust one foot through, at
the same time exclaiming;
Yes, | know the doctors out, but
he wants to get in! '-Harper's
Weekly.

Shows Extreme seIfishness.

Matthew Arnold's lament at the ex-
cessive and unreasonable value which
people put upon the mere preservation
of their lives in these days is empha-
sized by the testimony of tho cab
driver in the Nan Patterson case.
Having stated that he did not even
look into the cab when he heard the
fatal shot fired and being asked to ex-
plain this seeming want of curiosity,
he replied: Suppose looked in and
got shot. What them" Why, then
there would have been one less cab
man in New York, and in twenty-four
hours or less his place would have
been supplied. 1t is easier to supply
men than places in this age of the
world, and no one is indispensable.
That cabman must be an egoist.-Bos.

COFFEE HEART
Very Plain in Some People.

A great many people go on suffer-
Ing from annoying ailments for long
time before they can get their own
consent to give up the indulgence
from which their trouble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience as follows:
81 became satisfied some months
ago that owed the palpitation of the
heart, from which l suffered almost
daily, to the use of coffee Il had been
a coffee drinker for 80 years., but |
found it very hard to give up the bey-
erage.
81 realized that | must give up the
harmful indulgence in coffee but
felt the necessity for a hot table
drink, and as tea is not to my liking.

that | concluded to give 1t trial. My
experience with it was unsatisfactory
till learned how it ought to be pre-
pared-by thorough boiling 1or not
less than Is or 20 minutes. After
learned that lesson there was no
trouble. Postum Food Coffee proved
to be a most palatable and satisfac-
tory hot beverage. and have used It
ever since.

GAVE ENGLAND sUEZ CANAL.
Frederick Greenwood's Great Work at
Time of Crisis.


At the dinner given in London to
Frederick Greenwood, long the editor
of the Pail Mall Gazette and st. James
Gazette, tributes were paid to MS
worth and services by men like John
Morley, who presided, Mr.. Asquith and
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman.
When the fate of the Suez Canal
hung in doubt in 1875 it was Green
wood who, learning that the spend
thrift Ismail Pasha wished to sell MS
shares secretly, urged the foreign sec
rotary, Lord Derby, to buy them Tor
the government and secure Britain
control. Derby demurred. There were
British statesmen who held that the
canal would prove colossal failure
Besides. there was no money available
and to ask for a grant from Pariia-
ment would reveal the whole plan.
Greenwood convinced the hesitatlng
secretary that the emergency Justined
taking the national consent for grant
ed, and with the approval of the prem
Ter. the far-seeing Disraeli, the pur-
chase was ndue. HCn i<Oiu IN'Ss'
as was humorously told at the dinner
"supposed there was nothing he could
do" for Mr.. Greenwood. No, there
was nothing. At least, said Derby, he
might let Greenwood's paper tell the
news exclusively. No; better let all
the papers have it at once, the jour-
nalist replied.
The shares cost England $2O,OOO,OoO
and are now worth S15O,0OO,OOO. Far
more important, their purchase gave
the kingdom the control OF the water
highway between Europe and Asia
and that preponderant interest in
Egyp that led to its occupation, TO
the p>otectorate, to the defeat OF the
Mahdists-and, through the recent ar
rangement with France, to the giving
of Great Britain a free hand in
what is perhaps the most successful
and most defensible exploit of coloni-
cation in modern times.-New York

FATAL WlNDsToRM.
Four Persons Were Fatally Injured
and Much Damage Done.

Coalgate, l. T., May S.-Four per-
sons were fatally injured in a storm
which visited the town of Owl on the
Oklahoma branch of the M, X. & T.
road. The storm did much damage
to property, several buildings being
destroyed. The injured were Profes-
sor Blackburn and three children, who
were in a school building which col
lapsed. Several other persons were
injured.
A special from South McAlester
says that two persons we're killed in
the storm but the report is unverified.

day, destroying several buildings, but
no one was injured.

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How a Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life Wretched for
Many Years.

The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In anemia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
ON the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women in particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head
aches caused by an@mia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said: "Dr.
Williams Pink Pills did me a great deal
of good. I had headache nearly all the
time. After had taken three boxes of
these pills became entirely WELL"
"How long had you suffered ?" she
was asked.
For several years. can't tell the
exact date when my illness began for it
came on by slow degrees. had been
going down hill for many years"
Ibid You have any other ailments?"
"Iwas very weak and sometimes had
fever. My liver and kidneys were af-
fected as well as my head"
"How did you come to take the REM
edy that cured your"
81 saw in a southern newspaper a
statement of some person who was cured
of like trouble by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. Ny physician hadn't done me any
good, so bought n box Of these pills.
After had taken one box felt so much
better that l kept on until became en-
tirely well"
Miss Blocker's home is at Leander,
Louisiana. DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
sold by all druggists. Besides headache
they cure neuralgia. sciatica, nervous
prostration, partial paralysis aud rheu-
rlatism.

Plea for Liqht in Houses.

Another mistake is to have too lit
tie light. Why darkness and gloom
should be sought in any portion Of a
house where people must live, has
always been to me an unsolvable
problem. Mysterious corners are in
order in a cobwebbed attic or an I'M
derground cellar, but they are SER
iously out of place in a pleasant room
into which visitors are ushered, and
which is supposed to be a rallying
spot for the family.

British Foxes Made Abroad.

The purchase of foreign fox cubs
from importers of wild animals Is at
tended with serious dangers. Wolves,
jackals and such like creatures are
easily mistaken, in the cub stage, for
foxes, and now and then have been
sold in England as veritable children
of Br'er OK. This is the true explana-
ton of those sensational outbreaks
of sheep worrying during the past
few years.-London Daily Mail.
