LUCK OF A YOUNG DOCTOR.
Two Accidents In Front of His Office the
Very Day He Opened.
Edwin Aines, n prominent official of
Worcester, Mass., told a story of the pe-
culiar manner in which luck sometimes
comes to doctors. Among the houses he
rents in that city is one that was long oc-
cupied by a well established physician.
This ph siotai3 diedi,and Mr. Ames adver-
tised the premises for rent. 'There were
many applieants, but the first wag a young
medical student, just graduated from a
sohooi_ In Boston. Somewhat surprised at
the audacity of the youth, nit!. Ames in-
quired his prospects and learner _that Ha

called upon to extract it. His luck began
Brom that day. _These patients advertised

A Maxim Revised.
"We were all sitting around the hotel in
Honolulu," said Purser McComb of tthe.
Australia, "swapping lies and stories when
some one started the joke that each man
present was to tell a moral story or set up
the drinks.. Everybody agreed except Ca -
marines, a Greek, who is in the fruit busi-
ness there and reported to bo quite
wealthy.
' 'I know lots in Greek,' said 'Camar-
inos; 'but I don't know any in English.'
" 'Greek don't go here, Camarinos.
What do we know about your language?
You may be giving us a fill and we be
none the wiser. You must .tell it. us in
English, my son.' Camarinos looked
puzzled when his turn carne to give a phil-
osophical maxim. He put his finger to
bis forehead and their said suddenly, with
a bright look, 'I have one.'
"'Let us have it,' was the cry.
" 'Well, I don't know if I get Mw quite
right,' he responded.
"'Oh, lot us have it.'
"'Well, then, it is this: A brick which
goes this way,' waving bis hands to and
fro, 'catches no grass.'
"There was a good laugh, and it was
voted that Camarinos had told the best
story that ever bad been heard in Hono-
lulu or elsewhere. "—San Francisco News.
A Mystery of Sneezing.
"Did you ever notice," inquired an eld-
erly man, "how much more sneeze there
is in you as you grow older? I used to put
my handkerchief to my lips and half sup-
press a very modest noise, but now when
I feel the spasm coining on I want to seek
the wilderness. I sneeze from my toes to
my crown and in every direction, quite
over the horizon. Theelueer part of it is I
think Kermith of my sneeze, too, and coax
and enjoy it. I wonder why a man in his
twenties can do with a repressed and deli-
cate'hitoh' like a girl, and then between
40 and 60 can't satisfy himself unless he

Grim Philosophy.
There was something bordering on the
pathetic in the comment of an old Florida
liogro on the fate of his little boy who, as
he explained, "wuz sweltered alive by an
alligator," for when some ono expressed
sympathy for him he said: "Wall, well,
de Lawd's will be done! Hit wuz mighty
bad for de alligator ter swelter bllu, but
be might er been lynched of he'd lived ter
be growed1"--Atlanta Constitution.

REIEEMED yv�1 SELVES.
A Company of Soldiers Whose Captain
Didn't Know General Rosecrans.
The lata General Rosecrans ran up
against a tartar once, but be had the good
sense not to let his ruffled dignity cause
Mw to lose Ms temper. The story, as told
by Colonel James T. Sterling, is as fol-
lows:
Company A of the Seventh Ohio was
formerly the Light guards of Cleveland and
was one of the very best drilled companies
in the army. It was commanded by Cap-
tain Creighton. The Seventh Ohio was in
West Virginia in 1801, and "Old Rosy"
was in command. The supplies for the
army were brought up the Kanawha river
in boats, which were unloaded by details
from the regiment. General Roseorans
had ordered that soldiers on duty must
wear their equipment. Company A was
sent out to unload a boat, and Captain
Creighton permitted the men to take off
their equipment and their coats as well
while engaged in this hard work. When
the work had bean completed, the men and
officers sprawled out on the grass for a
rest, and then General Rosecrans and some
of his staff rode up. The general looked
at the soldiers a minute and then called
for the commanding officer. Captain
Creighton did not know General Rose -
crane, but he rose to his feet.
"Who commands this company?" asked
the general.
"I do to the best of my ability," replied
the captain.
"Don't you know, sir," inquired the
general sternly, "that it is against orders
to allowthe e m n
e to remove their equip-
ments
q -
P
ments when on duty?"
"I have heard some such order," said
Captain Creighton, "but the man that is-
sued it never did a day's work in his life.
When my- men have to work hard, I'll see
him in the other place before I'll let thein
swelter with tbeir accouterments on."
"Olt) Rosy" stared at the cool captain a
moment and then rode down toward the
boat.
.A soldier approaohed Captain Creighton
and said:
"Do you know who that id"
"No, and I don't care."
"That's General, Rosecrans, the com-
mander of this department."
"Whew I" `ejaculated Captain Creigh-
ton. "Company, fall in!"
Without question it was the finest com-
pany in the command. When the general
and bis officers rode back from the boat,
the company in full equipment stood in
perfect order and gave him a present in
ioh splendid style as to attract Ms atten-
lon. General Rosecrans returned the sa-
lute and requested the captain to put bis
men through the manual. When it was
finished, the general rgteed his hat, turned
1io the eentain and said;
"I think that a company that can han-
dle muskets as well as that Atokabe al- I
lowed to unload a steaflier without any-
thing on if they want to."—Detroit Free

I have more faith in Dr. Ward's Blood
and Nerve Pills than anything else I
have ever used. Since using them I have
recommended them to several of my
friends who were troubled as I was, and
now they ate in splendid health. I had
been a sufferer, like a great many other
women, with a disease peculiar to my
sex. I tried everything I could read or
think about to help me, but was getting
worse instead of better. My condition
was terrible—I was losing flesh and
color and my friends were alarmed. I
consulted a doctor of this town and he
said I would never get better ; that I
would always be sickly and delicate, and
that medicines were of little use to me.
Hearing what Dr. Ward's Blood and
Nerve Pills 'had done for others, I de-
t;ermined to try them myself, and to -day
I weigh one hundred and forty pounds,
while before I weighed only one hundred
and eighteen pounds, and now I have a
constitution that is hard to beat. I have
not suffered any pain in months, and
earnestly hope that Dr. Ward's Blood
and Nerve Pills will reach every woman
suffering as I did. Sincerely yours, MAY

About books.
The ideal house has books all over it,
and yet it is best for the books themselves
that they have an apartment truly their
own. Many people who feel that they can-
not afford a "library" would be astonished
1f they realized how easily one ;night he
arranged. One of the most charming
bookrooms of which I know is merely a
small chamber with a pretty view from
two windows and a snug corner fireplace.
At small expense deal shelves were run
entirely around the wall space and fitted
with roller blinds which may be drawn
down in front of tho books at night or in
the daytime when cleaning is going on.—

I ohose him opt from all the rest --
My Tom—he had three lovely brothers;
But—will -he seemed to like me best
Of all the girls. Oh, there were others
That wanted him, but, som• how, he,
Right iron) the first, kept after me.
He wassplendid so p d I Big and kind
And calm, and full of mischief very.
A romp seemed always to his mind,
While I was rather prim than merry.
Yet, when he was my own, I felt
How feud a lover near ine dwelt.
Alas! There came a time of change;
He oared no more for home nor quiet.
His moods were reckless, wild and strange.

Returning when the dawnligbt Dame

And so it wet,1, till months were past.

"It's going to rain," said Gladys.
And she looked both marry and wise.
"Why, how do you know," cried Madge and

With wide and wondering eyes,
"For you can't read, and papa says
The weather clerk don't know ?"
"Mine does, I guess," laughed Gladys,
"Yes. Just wait, and he'll tell you so."
And, sure Enough, from the garden,
Where the winds of spring blew strong,
Came a funny croak that seemed half a joke,
The violet beds among.
Then next it was under the rose trees,
And the curious children spied
A epeokled and brown frog hopping down
In the think green leaves to hide.
While "Rain, more rain !" he called for,
Till Madge and Flo said: "Well,
You're a pretty clerk of the weather ! Your
work
Is nothing but play to tell
It's going to rain and spoil our fun !"
But he solemnly answered, "Rain 1"
While the c'ouds blew low into piles of snow,
And froggy was right, it was plain.
For fast and harder Dame raindrops
Till the children ran inside,
But, though surely soaked the frog still
croaked,
And for "Rain, more rain !" he cried.
You don't believe it ? Listen

And "Rain, more rain 1" he will tell you
plain,
