COURAGE
THAT WON
......By Frank H. Sweet

Judge Pauls went down the office
steps briskly, his face, which a few
moments before had been creased into
frown, now beaming with the salts
faction of duty well done. He had for
hidden the new doctor, who had no
prospects and no faculty for money
making. to visit his house any more.
From what he knew of Edith and what
he had seen in the young doctors eyes
he felt that he need apprehend no
further trouble, and the affair had not
gone far enough for either u the young
people to suffer any heartache.
Dr. Phil was standing in front of an
open window in bis office, his hands
thrust deep into his pockets, gazing out
at the judge as he crossed the street
and passed on through the field oppo-
site toward the river, probably to see
if the swollen torrent was doing any
damage to his lands. Then, with the
same strong, self contained look which
the judge had seen and, against his
will, admired, the young doctor turned
back into his office.
There was no dependency in his
clear gray eyes, no weakening of his
square chin. He had fought his way
from almost absolute ignorance at
twelve in the depths of a coal mine
through various situations to one school
after another through college and med
ical school and hospital practice, until
now he was here in an office of his
own waiting for the first patient.
There was a large back region of
farm and mountain people here, and
once he could gain their confidence it
would offer him such a field as he low
ed, life of hard, continuous work.
with much of it in long journeyings
under the open sky. The horror of his
early boyhood in the black depths of
the mine could never leave him; to be
in the open air was to be in Gods own
world. The matter of recompense in
money never troubled him.
AS he turned from the window a man
came hurrying across a field from the
direction of the river. Reaching the

Where Horsewhips Are Prohibited.

There is notable law in force in
most of the large Russian towns con-
corning horses that deserves special
mention. Among the curious things
that arrest the attention on arriving in
Moscow is the entire absence of whips
among drivers of cabs, carriages and
prohibiting their use. There is not a
single whip in use in Moscow. The ex-
cellent condition of the horses attests
the benefit of this humane law. Moth
ing can exceed the beauty of the sleek
and well groomed horses used in th%
carriages of Moscow.

Relative Strength of Man. Limbs.

AS result of some very interesting
experiments made by scientists and
Psychologists with view to determine
the relative strength of right and left
limbs it has been ascertained that
over so per cent of the men examined
had the right arm stronger than the
left, 1874 per cent had the two arms
of equal length and strength and 32.7
per cent had the left arm stronger
than the right. OF women 46.9 per
cent had the right arm stronger than
the left and 24.5 per cent had the left
stronger than the right. In order to
arrive at the average length of limbs
fifty skeletons were measured. twenty
five of each sex. OF these twenty
three had the right arm and left leg
longer, six the left arm and right
leg. while in seventeen cases all the
members were more or less equal in
length.

County Names.

County names in the New England
and middle Atlantic states are almost
exclusively of English or Indian origin
In the border states Of the south the!
are chiefly English. in the gulf states
English and Indian. with French IN
Louisiana and traces of Spanish origin
in Florida and Texas. In the Missis.
sippi valley they are again of English
and Indian origin, with some French
names coming down from the Jesuit
explorers. In the Rocky mountain
states they are again English and In
dian, with a larger proportion of the
latter than elsewhere, and on the Pa
cific coast Spanish county names again
crop out. Texas has a Dear Smith
county, about the only instance OF
nickname having been fixed upon an
important political division. A pretty
fair history of the political and social
influences at work in the early develop
ment of "a state could be written from

"Well, you call down to DR.. Peters

Cant help that. No man could get

Dr. Phil was hurriedly gathering up
some things from his table.

Phil. 1.-THE woman may be bleeding
to death. I'll be ready by the time
you are back"
When the man appeared DR.. Phil
was at the corner of the office and he
threw himself instantly upon the
horses back.
"You can't co. the man tried to
say, but DR.. Phil did not hear him. He
was tearing across the street, and
when they came to the fence the horse
took it at a bound. A few minutes
later they were at the river.
Several men were working in the
edge of the water, trying to rescue
lumber and other floating wreckage
from the torrent. Judge Pauls was
standing on the bank watching them.
AS the horse dashed down the bank
the men threw up their hands warn
ingly.

When our first foreign minister ar
ranged to go to London he was re-
quested by the captain of the sailing
vessel in New York harbor to go
aboard Immediately. Hastily buying
sack of flour, three hams and a bag of
potatoes, he hurried on board ship to
arrange with some sailor to cook his
meals, not knowing but that they
might sail at any hour. Five weeks
passed before the boat left the harbor.
After six weeks at sea the traveller at
length beheld the outlines Of the coast

property that Dr. Phil owned. and he
had been able to make the purchase
because the ugliness and viciousness
and small size of the animal had made
the price very low. But the horse was
apparently afraid of nothing in the
world and had strong staying powers,
and these were qualities which soon
convinced the young doctor that he had
obtained the very animal he needed
without regard to price.
However, with that rushing, roaring
torrent before him. the animal seemed
to think it foolha sly TO proceed, for
before he had gone Il dozen feet from
shore he tried to turn and swim back.
But now the firm. maSterful hand of
the rider was controlling his head, the
calm, intleXible voice was sounding en-
couragingly in his ears, and after few
Intellectual attempts to turn the horse
directed his gaze toward the opposite
shore and did what DIR. Phil was doing
his best.
But no living thing could stem or
DR.. Phil well knew. He must reach
the other side, but he was not fool
hardy.
The torrent was winding in its course.
DR.. Pills gaze had swept keenly from
bank to bank then he forced his horse
into current which approached the
opposite shore nearly half mile down.
To the Mortified spectators it looked as
though they were being swept away,
powerleSs to help themselves, as, in
deed they were for the time being All
DR.. Phil did was to guide the horse,
and all the horse could do was to keep
them above water But as the current
approached its nearest point to the 9th
er shore. not more than ten feet dis
tant, DR.. Phil suddenly slipped into
the water, with his hand twisted in
the horses name, and in that position,
freed from his weight and with the
strong right arm assisting by quick,
powerful strokes, the horse threw him
self forward with desperate effort
which brought his feet upon the bot
tom. A few minutes later they emerged
from the water and staggered up the
bank
DR.. Phil did not hesitate. Lonesome
valley was two miles away, and he
could reach it more quickly on foot
than he could on the horse in its pres
ent exhausted condition. So he turned
the animal loose; perhaps he could re-
cover him again when he returned.
He found the woman weak from loss
of blood and lack of proper attention.
Another hours delay might have been
fatal. He remained with her two days,
until she was out of danger, and then
returned to the river. Contrary to his
expectation, he found the horse grazing
quietly within few rods of where he
had left him, and the animal greeted
him with an unmistakable whinny Of
pleasure and relief. Perhaps the COM
mon danger in the river and the man
ner of escape had won the horses re-
spect and dependence; possibly the ami
NAL was already becoming fond of him.
DR. Phil had not received fee for his
services, but the family's gratitude and
the way the horse trotted toward him,
whinnying, were enough, and he re-
crossed the river with buoyant heart.
In his desk he found letter which
read:
My Dear Doctor-I was a little hasty
the other day, and 1 realized 1t when
saw you crossing the river. VIII you
overlook it by taking dinner with us Sun
day? HENRY PAULS.

Roads and Tires.

In France every carriers and every
market cart instead of injuring the
highway improves It, Many of the
tires are ten inches wide. In the four
wheeled vehicles of that country the
rear axle is fourteen inches longer than
the fore, and as result the rear wheels
run in line about an inch outside the
Level rolled by the front wheel. After
a few loaded wagons have passed over
a road the highway looks as If steam
roller had been at work. A national
law in Germany prescribes that wag-
ons heavily loaded must have tires
not less than four inches wide. In
Austria the minimum for similar We
hicles 10 six and half inches and in
Switzerland six iprhes.

A New York enthusiast has good
collection of etchings, one of them be-

hangs over his writing desk. For a
long time he noticed that it persisted
in hanging crooked despite the fact
that he Strengthened it every morning.
At last he spoke to the maid, asking
her if she was responsible for its lop
sided condition. why, yes" she said

When tho Life Saver. Work Begin.


After the last summer visitor has
gone and the little craft that sail over
the shallow bay have been hauled up
high and dry, the payilions deserted
and the bathing houses boarded up, the
beaches take on new aspect. The sun
shines with cold CLEAN, and the surf
has an angry snarl to it as it surges up
the sandy slopes and then recedes,
dragging the pebbles after it with o
rafting sound. The outer line Of sand
bars that in the summer breaks the
blue sea into sunny ripples and fash
ing whitecaps then churns the water
into fury and grips with a mighty hole
the keel Of any vessel that is unlucky
enough to be driven on them. When
the keen winter winds whip through
the beach grasses on the dunes apG
throw spiteful handfuls of cutting
sand and spray, when the great waves
pound the beach and the crested tops
are blown off into vapor, then the life
