Wrote q Poem "by Poe" and Palmsl
II on tho Public.
James Whltcomb Riley began his ca
recr in newspaper Office in Anderson.
Ind, by writing humorous rhymes as
advertising locals" "doggerel' he
called them. At the same time he
wrote many rhymes with the serious
intention of having them, If possible,
recognized as poems. But he could not
get them published. Even con posi-
tiolls whose worth he had tested-those
that would please people when I'd
stand up and read em to them''-would
be returned promptly by every maya
zine to which he offered them for pub
lication. The Hoosier dialect was too
'low down" for the average magazine
editor.
Finally in freak of boyish indigna-
ton, to prove that what editors really
wanted was not originality. but imita
ton, he devised the scheme of writing
poem in imitation Of Poe and of
palming it or on the public as real
poem of Poe's recently discovered. The
scheme was very skillfully planned
and very deftly executed and success
full beyond anything the clever deviser
of 1t had ever dreamed. From one end
of the country to the other "Leonainie"
was hailed as veritable "flnd," bit
of genius most genuine ore. Riley had
his revenge. He had some trouble.
however, In proving that he was not an
Intentional forger.
He lost his newspaper position. but
he Immediately got another and better
one on the indianapolis Journal. Come
and get pay for your work" said Judge
Martindale, the editor. The turn IN the
tide had come.

A Few Suggestions For Those
Who Employ Physi clans

When sending for physician, be
very careful not to give him any
idea of the nature of the case that
he is called to see. He might wish
to bring appropriate medicine or in
struments. If possible, always send
for a doctor in the middle of the
night. 1t giving him better
chance Of keeping his office hours
during the day time. Besides he
charges more for night visits than
for day visits. 1t is also safer & cas-
ier to roll along among the logs &
snags after night than in the day
time. In selecting your physician,
always consult some old female busy
body with ball-bearing tongue.
They are ever on hand, willing &
ready to accommodate you gratis.
When you have long case. of
sickness, Grange doctors once or
twice, Just for luck. Besides you
don't have to pay doctor whom you
discharge. If doctor loses a case,
never employ him again, also advise
everybody you meet not to do so.
Doctors should always cure their
cases. Never employ regular
physician ii there is quack in the
country. The physician will not
guarantee to cure you & the quack
will, though he charges twice us
much and gets it in advance. We
like to pay for guarantee even if
we don't get any benefits, further
more we know the money is safe.
If the old physician gets cranky
and will not answer your call, just
because you will not pay him when
you can, drop him and get new
doctor who does not know you so
well. When you wish to cheat the
doctor out of his pay and at the
same time be able to look your neigh
Dor in the face like an honest man,
find q whole lot of fault with him,
call him lot of vile names and tell
your neighbors he trieu to kill you
by slow poison etc. This puts the
doctor in a bad light" and the
people will never doubt but you are
telling the truth. There is no use
paying doctors bill anyway. The
doctors don't pay their bills and
they don't need the money.-Ex.

A COONSKlN FARE.
Would Have Paid the Traveller to
Let the Change Go.

Let the Change Go.
Many years ago, as the story runs,
when coonskins were worth six bits
apiece in Arkansas and regular fee
OF two bits was assessed for ferrying a
horseman across the st. Francis river,
there came along n traveller whose en-
tire capital consisted of but single
pelt, and the ferryman hadn't a cent of
change in his pocket
The traveller wns bound to cross, but
refused to pay three times as much as
the man who passed before him or the
one who was to come next. The ferry
man would not wet an oar unless pay
ment for his services was assured.
Here was ample foundation for an ar
Gument, and presumably the opportu.
nifty was not neglected. But satisfac-
tory arrangement was finally reached,
the traveller getting value received for
his coonskin by being waited thrice
across the stream. THIS of course
would leave him OH the right side, and
neither party to tie trade would have
cause for complaint. Such was the gen.
obtained in these earlier days, such
but hold on bit.
On the second trip the ferryman
CHANGED to inspect the coonskln close
ly and found that 1t was by no means
up to the recognized standard. Maybe
it had been killed too early in the sea-
son or was not properly stretched.
Anyway, he decided that four bits was
al Il was worth, and the traveller
frankly admitted the soundncss of his
Judgment. acknowledged that he had
received It's value In the double fer.
riage and forthwith started OH his fifty
mile ride up the river to the nearest
point where 1t was fordablc.-Field
