Good Doctor.

A good doctor, as everybody knows.
must be a man of knowledge and Of
faith. He must have both science and
religion. And DR.. M. M. Hursh, for
twenty-eight years country physician
at Cohasset, Mimi, illustrates the ideal
combination with eminent distinction.
BY the exercise of his skill he placed his
patients under fifty thousand dollars
worth of debt for services rendered.
Then, by the exercise of his charity,
he wiped out the obligation. "I want
to give some of these people q break"
he said. "and cancellation Of their debts,
I hope, will bring them some happiness

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRAcEWELL.

Templeton Jones, amateur botanist,
gets q great deal Of fun and stimulation
out of his knowledge.
Although he may not know much, as
such things 20, he knows q great deal
more than most folks, and there Is
certain satisfaction in that.
He proved this to himself the other
day, on the morning after the high wind.
Waiting for his bus, he stood near
two beautiful specimens Of the KENTUCKY
coffee bean tree.
Several score seed pods, from to
inches in length, had been wrested from
their hold on the tree by the wind, and
blown down to the sidewalk.
The tough, woody walls Of the pods,
intended to resist the feet of cattle, pre-
vented them from breaking open as they
hit concrete.
Jones kept count of more than one
hundred persons who walked by, and
not one Of them so much as noticed the
pods.
Yet they were something brand new
along that way.
Pods of the gymocladus had merely
been waiting for good wind TO IAN 70
the ground.
They had fallen, but Templeton Jones
alone paid them tribute.
It was a small knowledge he had OF
them, to be sure, but an interesting one,
as far as 1t went.
He wondered how many members of
the club at whose portals these two dne
trees stood knew as much.
fhau
called in the pioneer days, are interesting
| specimens of what Nature can DO. Ihese
round hard seeds are inclosed IN neat
case of hard wood, each seed reposlng
in a nest of green fragrant gum.
This gum is either to prevent shock
and crushing, or to keep the seeds from
drying out too quickly. The latter aim
would be furthered by the hard wood
shell.
When these dark brown pods, Of a
| really artistic coloration, fell in meadows
and the like, they were ready to pro-
tect the beans within.
Yet they were ready in time to split
open, so that the beans might come
tumbling out at last. 1t usually takes
the brisk winds of March to pull the
pods of the trees. This year March
| was mild. 1t required the brlSk WINDS OF
April to do the trick.
n
Western pioneers collected the
beans, roasted them, and ground them
for coffee, rare treat in the early days
Bark of sasSafrass was used similarly
by colored troops in the Civil War.
Many things have been used as coffee
substitutes, but few of them have the
| taste" The stimulating effect of the
| caffeine is not the real reason for the
popularity of coffee, as much as that
has been charged. The reason is the
| taste
What fragrance or taste the Kentucky
coffee bean has we do not know, having
never gotten up enough nerve to try it.
| 1t may be wondered why the tree was
given the popular name OF Kentucky
when it grows over a wide range. One
species Is Canadian. The probability Is
that the Kentucky pioneers simply made
| a bigger fuss over their discovery, show
ing the power of ballyhoo, even in those
days.
| II y
| This is nice one to plant by any one
who wants clean, majestic looking tree.
| The name of the genus, gyHlnocladus,
| means naked branch, which refers, of
| course. to the branches without leaves
| In Summer, this is one Of the lovellest
of all trees; and for the remainder OF

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
An Awakening.

Out Of dense lethargy
Waking to clarity;
Mind active, clear and bright,
The body free and light,
Pulse and perceptions seem
Aroused as from a dream.
Gone the desire to brood,
Conscious of powers renewed,
Dropping all fantasy
For life's reality,
Great thoughts may be conceived;
Still greater things achieved.

A Friend.

A friend whose voice mid Merriment

A friend who unto Sorrowing lent
The word Of hope and rest
Whatever honors he may see,
Where men for glory live,
One who friend like this can be
Has more than Fame can give.
