The Faithful Doctor.

Perhaps some day a true story
will be written of worlds philan-
thropists. Think of the doctors in
such book! What other calling
in this world is like it? Merchants
can rest, capitalists can sleep,
ministers can read-but not the
doctor. His hours are all day and
all night, and then perhaps all
day again and the next night as
well. His philanthropy is not
craven in marble or embossed
upon copper plate. It is silent
and real. He is the big brother
of all the world, and when he is
called he must go. You may not
happen to know what things
doctors do. Some of us do know.
We know of women saved, of
young men steadied, of families
held together, of money given
instead of received, of free calls
and often material assistance.
We know of operations perform
ed in the hope of saving a life
when it seemed that the surgeon
was ready to drop from physical
exhaustion. We know of the
most tender care freely bestowed
upon the lowest and feeblest and
most unattractive of Gods crea-
lures. The good and the wick
ed, the black and the white, are
all one to the honest physician.
The man who doesn't pay his
doctors bill and can is meaner
than the man who takes his
county paper for a number of
years and when urged to pay UP,
has it put back in the postoffice

Monkey was the name of a

was a jocky and a judge of
hOrSeflesh, and if Old Hickory
had any weakness at all, it was
for horsefiesh. Because of his
many victories on the turf, Mon
key was permitted many priv
leges, one of which was to in
dulge his firm conviction that the
two greatest men on earth in the
order of their greatness were
Andrew Jackson and Monkey. A
man named Brown, who was OPP
posed to the Jackson's wing of
the party in Tennessee, had the
temerity to offer himself for gov
ernor. He received only a hand
full of votes. A few days after
the contest was settled Mr..
Brown was in the market at
Nashville. Monkey was also
there, with a big basket on his
arm. Monkey so carried the
basket as to push Mr.. Brown off
the sidewalk. The irate politician
raised his cane and shouted:
Don't you know why | am!
How dare yon push me?. The
