Or. Johnson Eleetioneerina.

Southwark was once the scene of
DR.. Johnson's electioneering ener-
gies. This was in 1880, when john
sons friend Ralph Thrale was can
didate for the division. DR.. john
son wrote Thrale's address to the
electors and on several occasions
went canvassing in company with
Mrs. Thrale. One night, as Boswell
records, an excited burgess seized
the doctors hat and, slapping him
on the back, exclaimed, "Ah, Mas
ter Johnson, this is no time to be
thinking about hats" 'No, no,
sir" returned johnson. "Hats are
of no use now, as you say, except to
throw up in the air and huzza
with" And, seizing his own hat
again, he showed how the thing
should be done.-Westminster Ga
zette.

The Reaction.

Just when you are feeling bigger
Than a grand electric sign
And have patted your old headpiece,
Saying. "Here is something fine."
And you sor; Of get TO thinking
1t is plain that you are some
And important as picture
Then the bumps begin to come.
When you feel you've turned the corne,
On the highway TO success
And you think that Mr.. Morgan
Will be asking your address.
That your name ere long will carry
On the very largest check.
There's a large and busy bludgeon
Waiting for your shapely neck.
When you feel securely planted
In the pleasant seat Of power
And you hear the dollars rattle
All around you in a shower.
Running. as you fondly think 1t,
Just like water from a pump.
You may know by that same token
You are listed for bump.
Ever thus the sorry story
OF your nearly won success.
When you see It. feel It. taste 1t.
You have got another guess.
That's the way fate's fickle forces
With your hopes and prospects play.
You are Just about to grab 1t
When II makes getaway.

MADE A GOOD BARGAIN.
The Enterprise of a Tricky Old New
England Woman.

Perhaps the s>rangcst contract
ever entered into between an indi-
vidual and Il corporation was that
which existed years ago between an
entcrrrising Old woman from New
England. the widow of a sea cap
tain, and Il transportation company
operating steamships between Pan
anna and Valparaiso.
1t appears that upon one Of the
islands in Panama bay this woman
possessed a bit Of property that the
Pacific Coast Navigation company
desired for a warehouse. When the
negotiations between the company
and She woman was inaugurated the
YanfSc dame drove a hard bargain.
She fNde it a condition Of the sale
that tllefompany should give her a
life pass'upon its steamers between
the ports mentioned above for her
self and maid, to be used at her
pleasure. The company acceded to
this condition without misgiving,
for it was thought only right to give
her a sea voyage now and then. Ex-
perience, however, taught the COM
pany to think differently, for SO
soon as she had conveyed the title
to the property and had received a
card signed by the president and
general manager granting her pas
sage at all times on their line she
proceeded to move aboard their best
steamer, selecting a stateroom, and
cruised up and down the coast for
several months.
At the large ports she would 60
ashore while the vessel was loading
and unloading, but she always left
the greater part of her baggage in
the stateroom and came aboard
again before the sailing date. When
she tired of one steamer she would
try another and was not cQntented
with getting her living free of cost,
but attempted to make profit out
of the arrangement.
She never before had enjoyed the
luxury Of a maid, but after the en-
trance upon this contract with the
company she on several occasions
brought a woman on board whom
she introduced as such, demanding
that she be allowed free passage.
The company's officers later discov-
cred that the old woman was col
lecting fare from these women
that is, she was "scalping" her pass
so they declined to carry any
more "maids." This curious old
dame continued to live aboard the
Pacific steamers until her DEATH

Modern Hospital Needs,

What are these needs OF modern
hospitals which necessitate SO much
more space than WAS ever thought of
In the days OF the primitive barrack
type Of wards, some Of them erected
even within the past decade, and how
have such needs arisen? Briefly, they
may be said to include all that is done
for the patient apart from the giving
OF food and medicines. and they have
arisen from the extraordinary prog.
ress OF medical science. particularly
In the fields Of bacteriology, serum.
therapy and pathology. and In the
adaptation for medical use of the re.
cent discoveries In the electrical and
mechanical sciences. Moreover, the
hospital has become q center for In.
vestigation. research and education Ia
an extent never imagined before-The
Century.
