VIVA, the YOUNG Doctor Needed.

A newly graduated VI. d., with his
new medicine bag dangling from his
hand. was one day accosted by an ex-
cited policeman, who informed him
that q man had been struck down by
an automobile In the next street. and
appeared to be badly hurt Without
hesitation the doctor hurried with the
officer TO the scene OF the accident
Here a curious crowd pressed round
the victim. who lay on the pavement.
Pushing his way through this ring
after the officer. the doctor dropped on
one knee beside his first patient, who
appeared TO be a person OF prosperity.
and acquainted him with the fact that
he was a physician and anxious 10 be
OF service.
Il fear. doctor" groaned the patient,
that my leg is broken; and IL you'll
take good care OF me I'll give you
thousand dollars"
The policeman, who bent at the
doctors side, ready TO be OF any as
sistance. gasped when he overheard
this offer and gazed open-mouthed at
the young physician. who at once or
dered him 10 drive back the pressing
crowd, so as TO give the patient air.
In response. the policeman began to
hurl back the onlookers with extra
ordinary visor.

# Story of Central american Hotreot 4eoi,s,
the An1eric ans. ----
rhe america

Most of the stories OF Guatemala
that have got into print of late have
been tales of bloodshed, of torture and
horrible cruelties within prison walls,
or of the poisoning, hanging and shoot
ing of political prisoners.
These tales are generally told by
political eXiles, the so-called emigra-
dos of Guatemala who, fleeing from
the wrath of President Estrada Ca
brera, have forfeited all their prop
erty and rights of citizenship. Having
I lost their all, they have nothing more
to lose by telling the truth about their
country.
But not all the truth is told in these
tales. Guatemala has its moments OF
gayety, and these moments are so far
prolonged sometimes, that much OF the
public debt of the republic must be
! credited to the score OF holiday fiestas
At time when the public eXchequer
is too poor to pay the interest on the
national debt, too poor to pay the sal
aries of the public school teachers
and other governmental officials, too
poor to mend the dilapidated highways
or broken-down bridges, there is al
ways money to be found for public
fiestas and entertainments.
Take last years record alone. There
was the opening of the Guatemala
Railroad in January, establishing rail
connections between the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts. For this purpose special
delegations were invited from the
United States and from other coun-
tries, all of course, at the expense of
After their arrival fiesta
followed fiesta, banquets, military re-
views. balls, fireworks, picnics and eX-
at all of which champagne
flowed like water Finally, after two
weeks of such fiests, the foreign
guests left the country so laden with
expensive gifts that some of the party
had to provide themselves with extra
boxes and trunks to carry their pres
snts.
After that came the prolonged fiesta
Of the Central American Medical Con-
gress. Nothing whatever was accom-
Dlished for medicine or science, not
a single original contribution was re-
ceived, but no end of money was spent
again for banquets, picnics, excursions,
reviews, balls, concerts and
gala performances, with the usual tor
rents of champagne. To enliven the
