DOCTORS PRESCRIPTION
FOR A REAL STINGY MAN

In the January Woman's Home
Companion appears a story in which
is related an account OF a prescrip-
ton given to an exceedingly stin-
gy farmer by a doctor. The farm
er took the prescription to the
druggist. The druggist told the farm
er that he could not fill the pre-
scription and said to the farmers:
"If you will read it yourself you
will see why" Whereupon the
farmer adjusted his glasses and
read to his establishment:
"One hired girl to be taken as
soon as you can get her, and kept
constantly on hand thereafter.
"A few new dresses that the
wives of your hired men wouldn't
be ashamed to wear, and a new hat
and wrap for your wife to replace
those you bought her last-thirteen
years ago.
"All to be tinctured with at least
as much daily consideration as you
bestow upon your cattle"

sCAuPULOuS DRESS OF
PRESIDENT JOHNSON
Was Drunk Only Once, But
the Whole Country
Knew About Ii.

For a man who had come from
the people, as he was fond OF say
ing, and whose heart was always
with the poor and the distressed,
Andrew Johnson was one of the
neatest men in his dress and person
| have ever known. During his
three years in Nashville, in partic-
ular, he dressed in black broad
cloth, frock coat land waistcoAt and
black doeskin trousers, and wore
silk hat. This had been his at
tire for 80 years, and for most o.
that time, whether as Governor OF
Tennessee, member of Congress or
United States Senator, he had made
all of his own clothes. He was so
scrupulous about his linen that he
invariably changed all of it daily,
and sometimes oftener.
He was matchlessly perfect in
figure, about five feet ten, had
handsome broad shoulders, fine
forehead. superb face. dark bushy
hair and small hands and feet. The
most marked feature about him
was his eyes, which were small, and
although such eyes are not usually
attractive, his were black, spark
ling and absolutely beautiful.
He was not a gamester at any
thing, and could play only indiffer-
entity at checkers. In 1862 he ex-
planned to me that he had never
visited a theater because in his
youth he lacked an opportunity, and
always afterward would rather
study and work or go to bed than
spend his time at playhouse. He
looked on all kinds of gambling as
wrong, never knew one card or one
domino from another, and was new
er at a horse race. He had been to
few circuses and minstrel shows,
and liked them. He used to say
that he had never had much time
for frivolity" | never could per-
suade him to go to the theater eth
err in Nashville or Washington.
Andrew Johnson has been called
drunkard as well as traitor; but
the "whirligig of time has set him
right on the latter, and to-day there
is no man of the Civil War who is
receiving so much honest attention
at the hands of historians. But
that Andrew Johnson was drunk
ard is more difficult to ldisaprove
This is partly because the only time
that he was ever under the influ-
ence of liquor in his life the whole
nation saw him, either with their
eyes or read of it, and upon an &C
casion when he should have been
absolutely sober-I mean when he
was inaugurated as Vice President
on March 4, 1S65.-GThe Century

O WHAT TEACHER DOES. O
o @ @ Q % O q o o Q Q o o Q o

A school teacher in the grades Is
a person who teaches things to the
people when they are young.
The teacher comes to school at
$40 o'clock, and when she has got
ten enough children for mess in
her room. she teaches them read
ing, writing, geography, grammar,
arithmetic, music, drawing, cook
ing, board saving, crocheting. deep
breathing, bird calls, scientific eat
ing, patriotism, plain and fancy
bathing, foresty, civics and other
sciences too numerous to mention.
When school is out she stays be-
hind with five or six of her worst
scholars and tries to save the State
a job of reforming them later on.
After that she hurries home to
make herself a new dress and
snatch hasty supper before going
back to attend lecture by an i'm
ported specialist on the history of
tribal law in Patagonia, which the
superintendent thinks may give her
some information which may be
useful in her school work some day
A great many lecturers roam the
country preying on school teachers
and some of them are very cruel,
talking to them so long that the
poor things have to sit up till morn
ing, when they get home, to get
their daily test papers corrected.
School teachers salaries range
from $50 a month up-but not far
enough up to make them dizzy. On
her salary the teacher must dress
nicely, buy herself things for her
work which the city is too poor to
get, go to twenty-nine lectures and
concerts a year, buy helpful books
on pedagogy, pay her way to dis
trict, county and State institutions,
and enjoy herself during a three
months vacation, which her salary
takes every year. an addition the
teacher is supposed to hoard away
vast sums of money, so that when
she becomes too nervous and cross
to teach, at the age of fifty or there
abouts, she can retire and live hap
PLY ever after on her income.-

Inc new eur anu IHpplnCOUtS
Not one of the many publications
now being displayed on the news
stands is more attractive-inside
or out-than the January Lippin-
colts. From its very striking COW
er by the Kinneys, to it's ever-pop-
ular department of humor, wal
nuts and Wine" at the end of the
book, there isn't a feature that
doesn't demand attention and COM
pei the interest. The novelette, is
"Tropicania, stirring tale of love
and valor in South America. The
man who wrote twill Lexington
Comfortable wrote those widely
discussed books Fate Knocks at the
Door" and "Routledge Rides
Alone" which is guarantee of the
new novelette's literary excellence.
Neither in theme nor in treatment
does it in any wise resemble the
usual run of adventure stories. The
plot is fresh and vigorous, and
there is the skillful characterization
one has been led to expect in Mr..
Comforts stories. The only disap-
pointment the reader is likely to
feel is that the tale is not longer
one.
There's a generous allotment OF
short-stories in the number.
