Their Great Scheme.

A local couple, recently married, hit
upon a scheme for saving what they
figured was just about right. Each
month they would save a certain sum
each day. The first day one cent. the
second day two cents, third four cents.
Each day the amount was to be doubled
until the end of 80 days, By that time
they would have tidy sum laid away
Before starting the husband fig
ured out just how much would be &C.
cumulated in this way. After lahori-
GUS work he found the amount to be
something like s5,300,000. so after con-
sidering the matter they decided that
one dollar a week would be about
their speed.-Youngstown Telegram.

Copyright. iOi6, oy W G. Chapman,

Nearly all the boys liked the little
doc when he came to Sapphire. He
wasn't much of a man to look at, but
his big head was chock full of learn
ing, and he was as affable and friend
iy as anyone. The only man who
didn't take to the doc was Dutchy,
the bully of the camp.
Dutchy was sullen enough and mind
ed his own business in general, but
when he had two or three drinks in
him he would start out to find trouble.
He generally found it, and, being the
kind who picks upon a smaller man
by preference, he usually gave better
than he got.
The doc was young fellow and
pretty Miss Ida, old man Pearces
daughter. who had been East to school,
seemed to like him well enough. 1t
made most Of the boys rather sore to
see a pretty. clever girl like that take
up with such little runt. However,
that was her business and nobody
thought any the less of the little doc
for succeeding where so many of the
rest had failed. Besides, there was
an epidemic OF typhoid that fall, and
everybody was pretty much scared.
Nobody knew who was going to be
the next victim. and the doc was
working with might and main to shut
off the spread OF the disease.
However, he found time to sit for
half hour on Miss Lida's stoop &C.
casionally, and fan himself with a
palm leaf. The boys who used to go
there and weren't invited so much
now used to grit their teeth and go
around a block so as to avoid seeing
him. But still. it wasn't case for
personal grudge
At least. except with Dutchy, who,
being naturally boor. and never hav-
ing succeeded in making any impress
sion on Miss Lida's heart. set out to
The Colorado statesman. [volume] (Denver, Colo.) 1895-1961, 1915-03-27

be ugly. He used to scowl at the lit
tie doc when he met him. But on a
certain night Dutchy, having had
more than was good for him, felt in
the mood for trouble.
Jim Moffat and Phil Duggan, who
we're seeing him back. at the request
of the town marshal. tried to pull him
past the stoop, but Dutchy shook
them away and stood facing the lit
tie doc. who was tanning himself at
Miss I.ida's side.
II you're a man you'll come down
from behind woman's skirts and
talk face to facet" screamed Dutchy.
The little doc came down. Miss
Ida let out cry, but there wasn't
anything to be done, for Dutchy was
big man and he could have smashed
Phil and Jim with q blow of his fist,
10 say nothing of the little doc.
The doc came up to Dutchy and
looked keenly into his eyes.
"Ha. the Juror Teutonicus, | see!"
he said to himself, as though sum-
ming up the condition of patient.
And then, while Dutchy was still
ehowering him with insults. he caught
hold of his hand and felt his pulse,
quite in professional way.
You'd best go home to bed,
Dutchy." said the little doc.
Dutchy stared at the doc in speech
less anger for a few moments. Then
he shot out his big fist and caught the
doc on the mouth. knocking him down
and cutting his lip open.
Have you spunk enough to fight,
YOU little shrimp" he roared.
The little doc, very pale. stood be-
fore Dutchy. not attempting to defend
himself.
'Ho" roared Dutchy. Nice sort
Of man you're going to get, Miss Ida.
Why, I'd fight the little whippersnap-
per with one hand tied behind me-"
Then. being somewhat pleased with
his work, Dutchy permitted Duggan
ard Moffat to lead him home. still
breathing out threats of what he was
going to do to the doc next time
he caught him on Miss Lida's porch.
What Miss Ida said to him is I'M
known, for she sat in sort of daze
while the little doc was being knocked
down. However. 1t was noticed that

CUSTOM OF TEA DRINKING
Love srewed the First Cup, According
to a Legend Believed
in China.

The Chinese claim to be the first
users of tea as a drink, and how it
originated is told in pretty little leg
end that dates from 1000 years before
the coming of Christ, says Ireland's
Own.
A daughter of then reigning sover-
eign fell in love with young noble
man whose humble birth excluded him
from marrying her. They managed to
exchange glances and he occasionally
gathered few blossoms and had them
conveyed to her.
One day in the palace garden the
lovers met and the young man endeav-
ored to give her a few flowers, but
so keen was the watchfulness of her
attendants that all she could grasp
was little twig with green leaves.
On leaving her room she put the
twig in water and toward evening she
drank the water in which the twig
had been kept. So agreeable was the
taste that she even ate the leaves and
stalks. Every day afterward she had
punches of the tea tree brought to her.
which she treated in the same way.
Imitation being the slncerest form of
fiattery, the ladies of the court tried
the experiment, and with such pleas
ing results that the custom spread
throughout the kingdom and the
great Chinese tea industry became one
or the greatest businesses in the
world
