drawer a certain little diary which he had carried with him for ten years. June had put that into his hands, that day he went away-tall, statuesque June, whom he had always thought so cold. And in it were certain poignant passages which he re-read this night, to test himself. before asking that mo mentous question of Lucille.
 John turned the pages.

 There was the dry stain of a tear. John smiled, but not in mirth. Poor, silly, sentimental schoolgirl outpour- ings! And yet how true they rang.

JUNE AND LUCILLE
By ELMER COBB.

Ten years before John Hayward had been a poor lad in Staples. Now he was returning, comparatively rich, to settle down in the village of his birth. And when a man does this, if he be a bachelor. it 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 Purvis 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, frivolity and a good time." With pretty, flaxen-haired Lucille, he had enjoyed himself to his hearts content. But for a strain of caution in his blood, inherited from a maternal grandfather, who was a Scotchman, he would have proposed to her at any of innumerable odd moments.
 But John had another side, though he hid it successfully from the world. This was a dreamy, sentimental side. such as the stately June alone could satisfy. And perhaps this was his sim cerest and truest side. But June was 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-four. And, with increasing years, the June side had developed at the expense of the other.
 "Pshaw!" he muttered. "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 50 Gents to Have PhysI. elan of Prague, Austria, Make
 Call.

The doctors bill is not such a thing to dread in Austria as in some parts of the world, as a report from United States Consul Frank Deedmeyer, sta toned at Prague, shows.
 The City of Prague with a popula- tion in city and suburbs of about 6O0,- 900, has only about 800 physicians, or one for every 7,50O persons. A doctor charges for a daytime call in a middle class family only 60 cents, or 10 cents more than if the patient calls on him in his office. For a night call the doc tor receives $1.20 to $2, according to the distance. Only professors attached to the clinics of the two local univer- sities charge more, receiving g to $4 for a house call and $2 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- ation," continues MT. Deedmeyer, treatment and care are entirely free. Nurses at hospitals are paid 80 cents day for the first year, with an an nual increase of 20 cents per month; at sanitariums, from $6 to $8 per week; at private houses, from 80 cents to $1 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 $1; amalgam filling, 80 cents to $2; gold filling, $2 to $4; bridgework, $10 to $2O.
 "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, $1,44O to $1,60O, and $5,000 to $11, 1000 from private practise; other professors at clinics, salary paid by the government, $1,000, and from pri vate practise, $4,000 to $10,000; gen. eral medical practitioner. not attached to any clinic, $3,000 to $S,500; the av- craze income of dentist is $5,000."

Centenary of Famous Man.

Charles Anderson, governor of Ohio. was born one hundred years ago near Louisville, Ky. After being admitted to the bar in 1S43 he began the prac- tise of law in Dayton, Ohio. A year later he was elected to the legisla- ture. In 1859 he moved to Texas, where he remained until the outbreak of the Civil war. Returning to Ohio he volunteered in the federal army and was appointed colonel of a regi- ment of volunteers. He was severely wounded in the battle of Stone river, and resigned his commission, return ing to Ohio, where in 1863 he was elected lieutenant governor, with John Brough as governor. The death of the latter in 1865 gave the guberna- torial chair to MT. Anderson. He died In Paducah. Ky. tn 1Sa5-

recollection has become only a ten der one. Yes, Lucille would make the jolliest wife in the world!
 And yet, somehow, 1t was June that he visited that day, before he started upon his other momentous journey. And June looked very serious. And presently she led right up to the topic.
 "John," she said, "as an old friend, am going to say something frank to you. Why have you come back?"
 To settle down here," he answered vaguely.
 There was an embarrassing pause Then June raised her head and looked at him directly.
 Are you going to ask Lucille to marry you?" she asked.
 You know, John," she continued, q don't think you are treating my sister exactly right. Of course, if you never cared for her-all that is the fortune of war| mean the chances of a woman's life. But you have come back and called on her. You know she always cared for you, John, and none other. And she has had so many chances"
 Yes" answered John slowly, q am going to ask her today"
 Suddenly June began crying. God bless you, John," she sobbed. You have made me so happy. You know I have a right to take you to task after giving you the diary! O, John, what it cost us both in pride-for we were always intimates! And it was only because you were going away! Poor Lucille!"
 John looked at her in bewilderment
 That was the real outpouring of a woman's heart, John," continued June, land don't think we women change much. Lucille always felt things deeply. And when she was with you bhe felt that she had to mask her feelings under the guise of jollity-"
 "June!" cried John, catching her by the arm, "do you mean that that was Lucille's diary?"
 'What?" she cried. "Johnl Did you think it was F" And suddenly tears gave place to mirth, and she laughed helplessly. 70, John, forgive mel" she sobbed historically.
 But John Hayward was not thinking of forgiveness. All his thoughts were turned upon a very different subject How blind he had been-how incred- ibly blindl Lucille the writer of those impassioned sentences! Lucille-the frivolous little woman whose nature had rushed to meet his own on both sides! He seized his hat
 June clung to his arm "Johnl What are you going to do?" she cried.
 Let me go," beloved John. I'm going to rush round to Lucille before any other chap has a chance to get there frst!"

BABY CASE STIRS ALTOONA
But Child Is Not Mentally Defective
and Doctors Operate.

Altoona, Penn, Dec. IA case an
many respects similar to the Bollinger
infant in Chicago, which created a ma
tion-wide interest week ago, is claim
ing the attention Of Altoona physicians
to-day. The Altoona baby, however,
will be saved If possible.
Last Friday a girl was born to Mr..
and Mrs. George f. Pheasant. The
attending physicians saw that the little
one was seriously deformed, but APP
parontly not mentally defective. Had
nature taken her course the child
would have died in a day or two. But
an operation was performed imme--
diately. The baby is club footed and
affected by hydrocephalus.
The parents want the child to live,
and have importuned the doctors to do
everything possible, but the physicians
fear that its present abnormal condi,,
ton will lead TO other physical ana
mental troubles which will result
fatally. The father is nineteen years
old and the mother eighteen.

where he spent few months for non

under direct examination that her mar

"Not on your life," was the equally

asked Mr.. Parsons. He was assured
that he need make no allowance to his
irreconcilable wife, which was a great
relief to the husband, for he didn't
