WHY He NEEDED A SPADE.
Drummer Wanted a Bath and Would
Have to Dam the Creek
to Get It.

Congressman Brownlow is from one Of
the mountainous regions of Tennessee
He comes from that part of the world
where the crests of rock are so high that
Gov. Bob" Taylor tnce said of them
that small children could stand on tip
toe and tickle the feet of angels with very
short straws. He is interested greatly,
MIR. Brownlow is, says Washington
letter to the New York American, in the
good roads movement
In some parts of Tennessee it is difficult
for stranger travelling from New York,
for instance, to imagine that the light OF
civilization ever has penetrated there
The houses are crudely built; the road
ways mere ,blazes, the, post offices some
times so miles apart. Mr.. Brownlow tells
story of a Philadelphia drummer hav-
ing reached one of the villages late at
night, and on being awakened early in the
morning rubbed his eyes and then asked
for bath. In few minutes the land
lord returned with a spade, a hickory
towel and gourd of soft soap.
What do l want with the spade?"
asked the drummer.
We'll, you'll need it when you try to
dam the creek" the hotel man said.

HAD ALWAYS SEEN DOUBLE.
For That Reason Woman Strangely
Afflicted Supposed OtS crs
Were the Same.

A remarkable story can he verified
by a well-known oculist in Kansas
City, says the Journal ~ In tine of the
counties of western Kansas is cat
tleman who has grown wealthy. His
wife, a charming woman o. some 40
years, recently began to hsve severe
headaches. A local physician decided
that the trouble was with her eyes.
The family could not believe it, as she
had very keen sight from both far and
near. However, the husband took her
to an oculist in Kansas City for ex-
pert examination. In the course OF
the examination the professional man
held up candle and asked her what
she saw. 81 see the two lights" she
answered calmly. "Two!" exclaimed the
surprised husband. "Have you always
seen two of me when you looked at
me?" "Why, certainly, DEAR" was the
answer; don't you always see two of
me-"
And then came the revelation that
this educated, intelligent woman had
never known in all her 40 years of life
that everybody didn't see double. She
had accepted her own condition as a
matter Of course. 1t instantly account
ed to the husband for little Indefinite
movements which he had frequently
observed in his wife when she was
reaching for an object, and it was a
matter of great establishment TO the
woman when, by an adjustment of
glasses and thorough treatment, she
began to see as other people do.

THE AFTERWhilE.

Love is never happy quite:
Love By day or love by night;
Love where morning dewdrops glow;
Love where crescent moon hangs low.
There's pathos in each smile
of lonely afterwhile.
OF mound all over-grown;
OF path one walks alone;
OF a treasured lock of hair.
Pathos of an empty chair;
This makes tenderer each smile.
Thought of lonely afterwhile.
We have walked where daisies bloom,
We have breathed the rare perfume
OF the autumns tumbled gold,
Summers heat and winters cold:
Watched springs morning glorieS smile,
And-haYe feared the aftcrwhile.
Oh, dear heart. whose locks I've
Smoothed,
You whose sorrows I have soothed,
You who I'm my arms have lain.
God spare you the waiting pain
Take you first; / love you! I'll
Bear the lonely afterwhilc.

THE WOMAN DOCTORS FEE.
Indian Patient Wanted Some One to
'Ixiss the Pretty Lady" for
Her Services.

DIR. Bedell, for many years leading
woman physician of Chicago and a
daughter of Scion Robinson, a former
agricultural editor of the New York
Tribune, has a summer place on Peli-
can lake in northern Wisconsin. Her
next neighbors are often camping IN
dians. says the Philadelphia Press
Sunday Magazine.
About nine o'clock one night two
men came to her house asking her to
go to saloon and set the shoulder OF
huge half-bred Indian named Billy.
AS she entered the saloon her splendid
head, fine features and snow-white
hair, shining out against the dark
background OF lumbermen and farm
ers, made fine picture.
Billy lay on the floor, his huge bulk
shaking with groans.
The doctor quickly picked out the
most intelligent-looking man in the
crowd, strong young farmer, and
said to him: Take off your boot. anc
place yonr heel here" indicating this
hollow of the dislocated arm. when
1 say PULL do it."
Soaking sponge in chlorofrom, she
applied it to her patients nose. His
groans ceased, and the silence oveY-
came the whole company.
Under her orders the powerful youth
pulled until "click" of the bones told
that they had fallen into place. The
silence continued, followed by won-
der as to what good medicine was
to come next. Before anything more
happened the Indian suddenly openud
his eyes, and in loud voice said:
won't some one kiss the pretty lady
for me?" \
