JUNE AND LUCILLE
BY ELMER COBB.

Ten years before John Hayward had
been a poor lad in Staples. Now ne
was returning, comparatively rich, to
settle down in the village Of his birth
And when a man does this, If he be
a bachelor, II is safe to assume that
the thought OF some old boyhood
sweetheart has crossed his brain.
There were two OF them-sisters-
June and Lucille Puryis were twins,
and John had been madly In love with
each alternately. Like most men, he
had two natures. One was the nature
of the average man. He liked jollity,
friyolity and good time" With
pretty. f1axen-haired Lucille, he had
enioyed himself to his hearts content.
But for a strain of caution In his
blood. inherited from a maternal
grandfather, who was a Scotchmfn
he would have proposed to her at a,
of innumerable odd moments.
But John had another side, thg-
he hid It successfully from the woH !
This was a dreamy, sentimental sAa
such as the stately June alone co#f
satisfy. And perhaps this was his
cerest and truest side. But June wN
married.
And so, with lingering thoughts OF
June, he proposed to ask Lucille to be
his wife. Lucille was as jolly as ever,
unattached, and apparently as young
as ten years earlier. Perhaps she was
twenty-nine John was thirty-fouT'
And. with increasing years, the June
side had developed at the expense OF
the other.
"Pshaw!" he muttereG. "A man is
a sentimental fool when he passes
thirty, anyway Lucille would make
me the jolliest wife imaginable"
And Lucille had all but told him she
would.
But when he got back home, after
that visit during which he had fully
decided to put the question next time
then John took out of a secret

DOCTORS NO LUXURY THERE
Costs Only 60 Cents to Have Physi-
clan of Prague, Austria, Make
a Call.

The doctors bill is not such a thing
to dread in Austria as in some parts
of the world, as G report from United
States Consul Frank Deedmeyer, sta
toned at Prague, shows.
The City of Prague with a popula-
ton in city and suburbs of about $780,
600, has only about 500 physicians, or
one for every 1900 persons. A doctor
charges for daytime call in middle
class family only 60 cents, or 10 cents
more than if the patient calls on him
in his Office. For night call the doc
tor receives $120 to 81, according to
the distance. Only professors attached
to the clinics of the two local univer-
stiles charge more, receiving 81 to 81
for a house call and 81 for an office
visit. AS in this country, the physi-
clans, except those of the homeopath-
ic school, do not supply medical rem
edies
"At most of the hospitals under the
control of the Roman Catholic associ-
alton" continues Mr. Deedmeyer,
treatment and care are entirely free.
Nurses at hospitals are paid so cents
a day for the first year. with an an
nual increase of 20 cents per month;
at sanitariums, from Sc to IS per week;
at private houses, from so cents to 81
per day, board being always included
for all nurses.
About 100 dentists practise in this
city. The average charges are: Draw
ing one tooth, 40 cents; cement filing,
60 cents to ST. amalgam filling, 80
cents to 81; gold filling, 81 to 81;
bridgework, $40 to $40.
1.-THE annual incomes Of these pro
fessional men are estimated as fol-
lows: Head professor in charge of
clinics, salary paid by the govern
ment, $1,440 to $1,000, and $4,000 to
81 900 from private practise; other
professors at clinics, salary paid by
the government, $1,000, and from pri'
vate practise, $4,000 to 10000; gen
eral medical practitioner, not attached
to any clinic, $4,000 to $4,000; the aV-
erage income of dentist is $4,000

The greatest value OF sheep in an
orchard is found probably In their be-

kinds of food.
Such food may consist very largely
of wheat bran, which is I'm itself val
liable fertilizer,
II may be wise, to encourage the
sheep to eat freely, to add a little
grain in the form of oats.
A little oil-cake will also improve
the food.
The droppings thus left in the or
chard will tend very much to it's en-
richment
The outcome will be that where this

No man grows old so fast as the

GOOD PROFITS FROM CALVES
Experiments Conducted by Depart

The United States department or

the pasture began to fail the cows

access to a good barn.

NO NEED OF A WIFE.

Though cruel brief be Loves bright hour
of song,
Yet let him sing his full!
For other hearts the echo shall prolong,
When Loves own voice is still.
Whenever you hear man say he
has no need of wife don't contradict
him, but you may think as you please.
Because he has home and father
and mother anxious to crafty his ev-
cry whim he thinks it will always last.
He is popular with the girls. The
sweetest, most desirable welcome him
warmly when he chooses to call.
Bright eyes grow brighter and dimpled
cheeks blush rosy at his whispered
words He thinks that's going to last,
too. He finds girls soon tire of the
fellows whose intentions are only to
jolly them.
The man who has gone round quite
a bit, always seeking fairer faces and
new scenes, loses without realizing his
greatest charm-the buoyancy of early
manhood, so appealing to young
women. He thinks the repartee which
was so interesting to the dashing
widow should amuse everyone else
whom he meets. He dubs the girl stu
pid II she fails to have the widows
keen perception of the joke. He fairly
lives at his club. The society of the
hail.fellows-well-met will always be
a pleasure that he can enjoy.
But, one by one, the happy-go-lucky
club fellows drop out. He finds him
self the last bachelor there. The men
with lovely young daughters and mar.
riageable young sisters have ceased
inviting him TO their homes for din
ner because of his expressed views
that he's not in need Of wife. He
finds when the old folks leave him and
gray hairs commence to thread their
