A Short Story of Rural Life

The doctor, John Norton, held the
lines ~listlessly as he drove down the
country road. The Smith baby was
teething--he might have to lance her
gums. Tommy Peterson, who had
personally investigated the mystery Of
the forbidden fruit in the form of
green apples, was on the road to re-
covery and new mischief. Even the
Judge no longer needed the ministra-
tons of a doctor so much as those of
a nurse. There were no critical cases
to scatter his thoughts that swarmed
about the anxiety of his own home.
His little mother was breaking
down. 1t was all his fault, accused
his morbid thoughts.
Norton's forehead puckered in a
calculating twist. Although the
drought had made money tight"
among his farming clientele he could
manage to borrow a hundred or two
to send her to the "shore" for the
complete rest and change that would
alone be her salvation-but there was
his mothers indomitable will to be
reckoned with! Her alert knowledge
of his affairs prevented kindly decep-
ton and he knew that no power on
earth could persuade her to spend a
borrowed penny on herself.
The quicker ~deepened-he was
searching for hidden possibilities
among his unsolicited, uncollectible

THOUGHT CAME IN TIME.
Or Generous Friend Of Hospital Might
Have Been Offended.

Lakeside hospital is probably Sam
uel Mather's chiefest hobby.
II there is a deficit in the hospital
finances at the end of the year MI.
Mather is usually only too happy to
write out a check that will more than
make it up.
This has gone on from year to year
until whenever anything is broken or
damaged about the place the nurses
and other employees look upon the loss
as just that much out of Mr.. Mather's
generous pocket. If a nurse drops a
saucer she will smile and remark:
poor Samuel" Among many Of the
nurses the remark is almost a byword
whenever anything goes wrong.
Not long ago, SO runs the story,
MI. Mather was at the hospital visit
ing a member Of his family who was
Ill, He was unfortunate enough to
lean against a vase of flowers on a
table. The vas fell to the floor and
broke.
Two nurses were standing by. They
exchanged glances and one of them
mused absent-mindedly Poor Sa-"
And then she happened to think

coIorlna an Abysslnlan Bride.

Western brides have an easier timo
than their Abyssinian sisters. On the
occasion Of her marriage an Abyss
sinian bride has to change her skin.
From ebony she has to become the
color Of cafe au lait. To accomplish
this the expectant bride is shut up in
q room for three months. She is COW
cred with WOODEN stuff, with the ex-
ception Of her head; then they burn
certain green and fragrant branches.
The fumes which they produce de-
stroy the original skin and in its place
comes the new skin, soft and clear as
a baby's. The elders Of the family feed
the young woman with nutritive force
meat balls.

STATE RESTS IN COW CASE
Physicians Testify P~eritonlts Caused
School Teachers Death.

Mexico.-The attorneys for the state
in the Clyde Cow trial rested their
case after closing with a number of
local physicians who offered expert
testimony as to the probable cause of
death of Lizzie Gleason, the Lincoln
county school teacher.
The testimony of the local doctors
concurred with that of DR.. Guthrie
Mcconnell, state bacteriologist, in that
p~eritonitis was the direct cause Of
death.
Dr.. Bailey was recalled to the stand
but was not allowed to testify, the
court holding that the witness had
been over the ground thoroughly.
DR.. A. w. Hemphill was called upon
to testify.

Take Warming, Christ

Cupid is always painted with wings,
perhaps to show how easily he can fly
away. Mnay women forget this once
they are married, and the man who
fell in love with his wife, because, be-
fore marriage, she always looked so
dainty and well groomed, is sometimes
woefully disappointed to find how lit
tie are she takes over her appearance
for ordinary, everyday occasions after
wards.
1t isn't fair to any husband to let
oneself go in this way. If you do,
and find that very Don Cupid flies out
at the window, you will have only
yourself to blame.-Home Chat.

HONOR TO CALL HIM FRIEND.
Medical Practitioner Ranks High In
Scale of Humanity.

To know a medical practitioner is
to know n who is superior to the
average educated man. Few profess
sions, perhaps no other, develop so
much of character. The occupation of
healing and the necessity of behold
ing men and women and children at
their worst, irritable, unreasoning, and
often cowardly, has not, fortunately,
caused his own degeneration. His ca
pacity for thoughtfulness is trained to
keenness, his s%elfishness, where there
is any, is shrewdly hidden, and the
human instinct for enjoyment is none
the less in him because of his knowl-
edge of its reactions.
That the doctors expectation of life
is short is the natural result of his
following a calling that makes unnat-
ural demands. Only the more fortu-
nate specialists have time that they
can call their own. The doctors work
is always exacting, often discouraging,
and invariably draws without mercy
ON his nervous energy.-Binghamton
Press.

onnosed 10 Toll Roads.

Maryland, following the recent lead
Of Pennsylvania, is moving to abolish
toll roads. Gov. Crothers has ex-
pressed the hope that before his term
is ended every tollgate in the state
will be abolished and every road free.
He believes that the work Of the good
roads commission will ultimately re-
suit in wiping out the gates. THE toll
gate" says the governor, SIS not of
this age and has no proper place in
this time. 1t is ridiculous to think OF
charging people money for coming to
your city"

Prince Runert,s Drops,

Prince Rupert's drops are drops OF
molten glass, consolidated by falling
to water. Their form is that of a tad
pole. The thick end may be ham
mered pretty smartly without its break
ing, but If the smallest portion of the
thin end is nipped off the whole flies
into fine dust with explosive violence.
These toys, If not invented by Prince
Rupert, were introduced by him into

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion OF the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube ID inlamed you have O rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when 1t Is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal condE
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out Of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case Of
Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured

For several years my husband
was a missionary in the Southwest.
Every one in that high and dry at

with dandruff and my daughters scalp
became so encrusted with it that I
was alarmed for fear she would lose
all her hair. After trying various rem
edies, in desperation l bought a cake
Of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuti-
cura Ointment. They left the scalp
beautifully clean and free from
dandruff, and l am happy to say that
the Cuticura Remedies were a COM
