Paying the Doctor.?A prominent physician in an Arkansas town has an extensive practice among the laboring classes, where economy is the best policy, says the Pittsburg Chronicle. One day the little daughter of one of the men became very sick and the doctor was hurriedly called. He arrived and administered a soothing treatment to the patient who was soon sleeping soundly, and upon leaving prescribed some medicine which was to be obtain - " -? . ?I cu &i inc arug siurc. i *ic ucai uaj vmv visit had to be repeated and some more medicine bought. This was kept up until the little girl was entirely well, when the father went to see the doctor to settle the bill. As his purse was rather slim he approached the doctor with many misgivings. "Here is your bill, sir," began the doctor, handing him the paper. "This for the drugs from the store and this for my visits." The poor man looked and was horrified at the amount requested, realizing that he could not pay it all. Then, after thinking a moment, he took out his purse and laid some pieces of change In the physician's hand, saying: "Here is the money for the drugs, doctor, and ?we will return your calls." ' m ' A Jocular Poorian.?Booth Tarkington, like moyt litterateurs, writes a wretched hand. Of this he said in New York recently: "Once, crossing to Naples, I sat in my deck-chair with pad and fountain pen, at work on a short story. A young Feorian stepped before me. "'By gosh,' he said, 'I wish I could write as well as you do.' '1 smiled, and the Peorlan resumed his promenade. The next time he pass-! ed me he said again: '"Gee, what a hand! If I could only write like that!* "Again I smiled a flattered smile, and the Peorlan made another round of the deck. Then he said a third time: " 'Oh, if I could only write a hand like yours!' "Nettled a little by this third inter-i ruption, I said: "Well, what would you do If you could?" " *Oo to China,' said the Peorlan. 'and write labels for tea boxes.'"?Exchange. Mistaken Kindness.?The servants were abed and the doctor answered the bell himself. A colored man stood on the steps holding a large package, according to the New York Times. "Is Matilda, the cook, at home, sah?" asked the man. "Yes, but she has retired," returned the doctor. "Can I leab dis fo' her, sah?" "Certainly," said the doctor. He took the bundle from which flowers and buds were protruding, and after bidding the man good night, carefully carried it to the kitchen, where he deposited it, paper and all, in a pan of water. The doctor thought nothing more of the affair until he heard Matilda's angry voice raised in conversation with the maid. "Ef I had de pusson heah," cried the cook, "dat put mah new spring hat in 4is yer dishpan I'd scald 'em to' sho!" Was Like Dad.?The immorality of French fashions was being discussed at a tea in Denver. The new idea of American fashion for American women was being praised. The Rev. Alpheus C. Kerr then said: "It is time that we removed our women from the peril of French fashions, with their suggestive lines. I attended the opera last year during the Easter holidays. My companion pointed out to me a young matron blazing with diamonds, and he said: " 'That is old Gobsa Golde's daughter, the countess. I knew her father when he went about with his pants held up by one suspender." "I regarded the beautiful young woman through my glass. Her dress was audacious. I said, dryly: " 'She must take after her father, then. Her gown, I see, is held up by one strap.' "?Boston Globe An Amiable Thief.?A remarkably brief and effective gumming up was once quoted by Lord James in an after-dinner speech. It was delivered by an Irish Judge trying a man for pig stealing. The evidence of his guilt was conclusive, but the prisoner insisted on calling a number of witnesses, who testified most emphatlcaly to his general good character. After hearing their evidence and the counsels' speech, the Judge remarked: "Gentlemen of the Jury, I think that the only conclusion you can arrive at is that the pig was stolen by the prisoner, and that he is the most amiable man in the county."?Answers. Boiling It Soft.?Bridget, a green maid, was told by her mistress to cook a soft-boiled egg for her mistress* breakfast. Five minutes later she rang for the maid, and, asking if the egg was done yet, received an answer in the negative. Thinking Bridget had not boiled the egg immediately, she waited a few minutes longer, and again asked if the egg was ready. "No, ma'am," replied Bridget. "Why not?" asked her mistress. "To be sure, ma'am, an' the egg is still hard, for didn't I Jlst feel of it." His Hoaring Good.?Little Dave was detected by his father in the act of stealing from one of his little playmates. The father, not believing in corpor al punishment, concluded to try a moral lecture. After pointing out the wrong of such an act, he said: "Always bear In mind, my boy, that these temptations can be resisted if you turn a deaf ear to them." Dave's lips trembled as he replied: "But, father, what can I do? I ain't got a deaf ear."?Lipplncott's. Useless Extravagance.?The charitable lady was treating a pensioner to a set of false teeth. The pensioner picked out the cheapest set offered. "Don't you think it would be well to select better teeth while you are about It?" the lady asked. "I am ' perfectly willing to pay a little more and get good ones." "Oh, ma'am," lipsed the pensioner.

When A8a Cutler stood in the hallway of the house which sheltered the dead body of his son there was no sign of a father's grief upon his face. He stood awkwardly with his black felt hat in his hand and looked with disapproval at the cheaply f urnished hall and long flight of shabbily carpeted steps. Asa Cutler had come from the country within an hour. The Journey had been trying to the old man, but not fox a moment did he waver in the Intention which brought hin to the city. When news came of the death ol Ralph he knew at once what he should do?go to New Tork, rescue the child, and carry it home with him, away from the contamination of the evil surroundings In which it had lived since its birth. For the child was his, all that was left of his flesh and blood. The woman, the child's mother, might protest, probably would do so; but the old man had yet to meet the woman who could defeat his will. Ralph's death seemed to Asa Cutlet rather a cause for congratulation than for grief. Asa Cutler had been a deacon for many years. The moral and material circumstances of the neighbors all were of importance; to Ralph none of these things had mattered. His father's keen avarice was as repulsive to him as his hard morality and uncom promising' bigotry. A1 first Asa Cutlet had been proud of Ralph's mertal ability. and had given him such a schooling as the neighborhood afforded. Later, when Ralph seemed to be outgrowing his authority, he took the most cruel means of enforcing it, insisting that the boy should stay at home and farm, doing the work that had been good enough for his father and that should, therefore be good enough for him. Ralph responded with his first exhibition of recklessness, and Deacon Cutler before long had to bear the ignomy of his son's being known in the neighborhood as wild, fast, and finally as a drunkard. When the boy beg&ed his father to give him money t<j go away and study, the father denied him and bitterly declared that a ne'er-do-well could never learn; as for painting, which the lad had set his heart upon, it was well known that the ways of artists were the ways of the devil. When Ralph was missing, Asa Cutler asked no questions. Thereafter his elder son was dead to him. During the years which had parsed he had, indeed, heard of him now and then; he knew that his wife sent the boy money and if he had been willing to acknowledge that a son of his was living in what he believed to be haunts of vice, he would have forbidden her holding any communication with him; but rather than admit to himself or to her that Ralph still lived be let her more or i less openly send him inney. It did not need the reports coming from the city to confirm Asa Cutler in his conviction that Ralph was irredeemably lost. As a matter of fact, the reports did I not tell half the truth concerning Ralph; talent enough he had and a I faculty of making friends; and luck followed him, so that there always seemed to be money enough at his command to satisfy his needs and cravings. Vice of the cheapest satisfied him, and he followed it unceasingly; for years he knew no revulsion of feeling, but in the course of time it came. Satiety and repentance appeared together. By that time his faculties were impaired; his hand was not as sure as it had been. Though his imagination had not decreased, he found torture in the realization that his conceptions were far finer and greater than his powers of execution, and his wasted years revenged thems< Ives upon him. When be heard of his mother's death ! a sudden loneliness overtook him and he married. The woman was grateful. She, too, had been lonely; sordidness i of life crowded upon her, and if it was no less sordid with Ralph it at least possessed an object. The girl had some measure of refinement and an intellectuality which life's friction had considerably sharpened; she took Ralph vices knowingly when she narried him, and it was her understanding of them as much as her faith in "rim which helped him in his effort to overcome them. To Asa Cutler, thtbefore, his son's death seemed but a shortening of years of evil living. He had not come to New York for a last look at his son, but for a first look at his son's boy; and when he was at length directed to a large room beneath a skylight he had so far forgotten Ralph that he was startled tc find himself in the presence of death. After a moment or Hesitation n? drew near and looked upon the face of his son. It was lighted by candles which burned yellow in the glare ol daylight from above, and a crucifix lay in the cold hand. Asa Cutler had nev er before seen candles and cruclfij with the dead. To hia puritanical mine these signs of a foreign faith were fur ther evidence of pool Ralph's ruin. On the white face the flickering shad ows could not hide the marks of dissi pation nor the ravages of disease. Ase Cutler marked them all. He had noi known of the disease, but there wai no mistaking its nature; the temple! were sunken, the face pitifully thin, bu the sight of it touched no chord of pity in the old man's heart. The furnishings of the room als< shocked his instincts. The cheap hang ings of flimsy cottcn, the few mucl used chairs, the easel on which wen thrown a woman's coat and the oute garments of a child, the dingy casts o a torso and of the Txmvre Venus, al contributed to the general untidinesi of the place. Asa Cutler's innate sensi of order revolted; he looked upon thi cheap casts as upon the candles an< crucifix?they were alike symbols o heresy. But his mind did not long dwell upoi them; he had come for the child. H waited in the studio perhaps five min utes, and then crossed the room an< knocked upon a door which he though might lead into a bed room. The doo opened and closed quickly behind i woman. Her eyes wore the hard dry ness of bitter grief. and her face look ed tired and wan. as if from loni watching and care. Closing the doot behind her, sh stood looking intently Into the man' face. Asa Cutler returned her gaz with one no less searching. The wo man seemed to decide from her scru tiny that it was useless to waste tim over preliminaries. Her instinct toh her what he had come for. She spoke unfalteringly; her vole was well modulated, and Asa Cutle was immediately aware of a reflnemen in her which he had not expected?: refinement, indeed, which he himsel did not possess. It was one more reason for his dislike. "You have come too late, Mr. Cutler," the woman said. "There is nothing for you to do here." The old man was keen enough to mark the sarcasm beneath her quiet words. "I am not too late for what I come to do," he said. "Where Is the child?" The woman walked toward the place where her dead husband lay. "There 18 your cnuu, sue buiu, ^viui'ug uv.... ward. Asa Cutler did not move from his place. 1 "Where's the boy, his boy?" he demanded. The woman lifted her white face and breathed deeply. "You have nothing to do with his boy, thank God," she said very quietly. "Here Is your boy." Tho old man's anger flashed out and he stood before her threateningly. "He was no son of mine. I disowned him. It can't ever be said that any of mine went to the devil like he did." "Ah," said the woman, "he was no on of yours? Then what claim have you to a son of his?" "He's my grandson," Asa Cutler said. "I came here to get him. Where is he?" "You say you disowned your son," she said quietly. "Then you have no grandson; thlB man's child Is my child, and now belongs to me." It was evident that Asa Cutler must acknowledge the flrst relationship If he would claim the second. "Well, say he was my son," he said hardly, In a loud* "* nno "We was mv son. he was my son. No, he's dead, ain't he? Then I'm the natural guardeen of his child. I didn't come here to talk," he added brutally. "I come here to get that boy. ' I'm going to take him home with me." The woman was still looking at him 1 unfalteringly. "You are going to take 1 him home with you?" she asked, mild' ly. "And what are you going to do with him when you get him home?" "I'm going to keep him out of the 1 way of the devil. But I didn't corne here to talk," he cried. The woman looked down upon the face of her husband and stooped to move a lock of hair upon his forehead. "You did not come here to talk?'' she cried. "You did not come here to talk, but you shall hear some talk! Look there! Look at him! That man was your son and he Is dead! Why? Be' cause he was your son, because he had 1 you for a father!" "You are crazy!" the old man said. The woman Ignored his words. "I 1 know all about you," she said. '1 know 1 what sort of a father you were. You began to kill Ralph the day you took 1 him away from school because you wanted him to be under you. You were afraid he might become a man, with a will of his own, and you wanted him to be like your cattle, just to belong to you. Oh, I know what he did then! Inf whn onnld hlnmp him? And VOU? you, who set yourself up as a model, the deacon, the man of God, the fine example of the neighborhood?would rather have him a drunkard than give him a chance to become anything else, because If he were to become anything else he would not be a possession of yours. Haven't you known that to be the truth? You let Ralph become a drunkard, you let him be a mark of scorn, rather than give him a chance to get beyond you! Besides, having ' him near you like that made you seem all the finer. The poor deacon?such a model, such a good man to be afflicted with such a son. That's what you thought, wasn't It? It wasn't so bad, being a martyr, was it?" The old man was glaring at her, too angry and too bewildered to speak. But she did not pause long. "And when he did, finally, have courage enough to break away from that what did you do? Did It ever occur to you that he might be going away to try to do better? No, you only thought mai ne was going uwuy nuiu yuu, mreu he ought to have stayed q.nd become a hired man without pay; it didn't occur to the deacon that his son could wish to go to a place where he would not be the black sheep of the neighborhood, where he might have some chance of becoming a man. You'd think any father would have given his son a chance for that; but what did 1 you do? You said he was dead to you! You wouldn't help him when he wanted 1 to try; you only said he was dead!" Asa Cutler's head had dropped, and he was looking up at her from be1 neath his brows. He was keen > enough to realize that much of what she said was true; his own virtue ' had Indeed seemed to him greater ' by comparison with the vice of his i son. Besides, there had been times ' when he had wondered whether he ? had done right by Ralph; that was partly the reason for his coming to > rescue Ralph's son. As his son's f widow poured forth her reproaches i and accusations, therefore, he began > to feel himself a little misjudged, and ' consequently, hurt in another way. She watched the changes in his > face, and went on: "What did you 1 know of the things he cared for?" she cried. "You declared without knowing anything about it, that art and the life of an artist were the evil one and his works! What right have i you to say that a thing is bad when t many other people say It is good? ' Ralph never did harm to anyone but * himself. Will you be able to say as t much for yourself when you stand be' fore your Maker? Did you remember the good things Ralph did? No, you > only remember the bad ones! He had - temptations within himself of which i you never dreamed, and yet you s think you are a better man, because r you escaped all temptations, than f Ralph was because he couldn't over1 come every one of them!" s Asa Cutler turned his back, but e her words burned into. his brain. e> Having broken through his armor of i lifelong self-satisfaction, it was no f difficult matter to touch the quick beneath it, and he was listening to 1 ti'Ar/lo n?Vi lr?V* rotroo lnrl himaalf In fl e new light. The vision she had sum moned remained with him; he saw the 3 man Asa Cutler stripped of material t things, waiting to be judged for himr self alone?to answer for his son. He a bowed his head. "Yes, you judge him now, but you - condemned him first. You turned g your back upon him in his need, and you condemn him because he failed! e I have gone out into the streets to s hunt for him, and when I've found e him I have brought him home, help less; I don't condemn him, because I - know what his remorse was, I know e how hard he tried. You stay at a 3 distance, say he is dead, and do not know how tired of sin he was, how e he longed and prayed to be better; I r know, because I was with him, and I t saw the fight he made. I don't rei member it against him that he lost; f I remember the good fight he made. You think he was bad?oh, I know how good he was, I know how good j he was!" Her voice rose and she threw herself across the couch, her head upon the uead man's feet, sobbing. Asa Cutler stood quiet and tense, her weeping sounding In her ears as rebuklngly as her words; then he walked the length of the room and back, and stood by the head of the couch, looking down upon the quiet, life-scarred features. "He was my son," he said slowly, I as me uvi were uciug uviuc in U|ivu | him. j The weeping woman raised her head and looked at the old man In a questioning amazement. Then she arose i and left the room, presently returning with a child In her arms. She held him shoulder high. His blue eyes were still heavy with sleep; his shining, rumpled curls tumbled about his face. A sturdy bare leg and foot showed beneath his night-dress, and one strong little fist was fighting the sleep from his eyes. Asa Cutler made an inarticulate exclamation, and started as If he would come toward them. The baby raised his head, leaned forward in his mother's arms, stretched out his arms, and cried: "Dada!" The old man started again, and the woman drew the child down closer to her breast "There Is your son," she said, in a tone of quiet intensity. "This Is my son. Do you think it likely I would give him to you that you might make him what you made your son?" "Do you think I would trust this baby to your Judgment?" For a moment they looked Into each other's eyes unflinchingly, then a change passed over the man's face, softening it The baby leaned forward again with a smile, and again called imperatively: . "Da&a! Dada!" The old man reached out as if to take him, then his hands faltered and he turned away. "Ralph! My son, my boy, Ralph!" He stumbled into a chair and wept with racking, straining sobs. The child began to wail in sympathy, but his mother did not heed him. She watched Asa Cutler's agony. At last he arose, still weeping, and made his way toward the door. Then the woman looked once upon her husband's face, and went quickly to his father. The boy thought she was giving what he had been crying for, and he laughed. "Kiss dada, baby," she said. The old man shook his head and she saw how pitifully aged his face had become within the hour. "I ain't fit," he said, looking at her. "She smiled wanly. "Kiss dada," she said again. "Be good to dada! we must both be good to dada." With a child's soft, moist lips upon his cheek and the strong little arms around his neck, the old man still looked at the mother. "Both?" he asked huskily. She nodded, and the tears began to stream down his face. She left the child in his arms and went and knelt at the couch. When the candles were burning low Asa Cutler touched her on the shoulder. "Daughter," he said timidly, "come away with me now, you and the little fellow. I?I don't want to let alther of you out of my sight agaiitr Tomorrow we'll all go home together? I want my son Ralph to rest beside his mother, if you are willing." TREATED A8 HUMAN Illinois Wardon Puts Prisoners on Their Honor. Dixon, 111., September 6.?Forty-five picked prisoners from the state penitentiary at Joliet are sleeping tonight practically unguarded on the banks of Rock river. For five or six months they will enjoy most of the liberties afforded working road gangs of free men. ' There is not a happier company of men, perhaps, to be found in the whole country. If there is a gun or loaded cane or bowie knife in the whole camp, the fact is unknown outside of the actual possessor. There is no patrol, nor is there anyone to observe should any prisoner attempt to run for liberty. The camp is surrounded by high hills'and woodland. Warden Edmund M. Allen is determined to put the new "honor" system to a thorough test?the first ever attempted in Illinois. He asserts his confidence that not one of the prisoners will attempt to break his pledge and seek to escape. The prisoners themselves are jubilant over the confidence placed in them and have entered into the camp life with high enthusiasm. Ti"-A ~ * 4-W^v man mo/ln Q flnftlA run ui me men <(*uuv wv. ?? against the great hill through which they propose to cleave a pathway during the next few weeks. In spite of the heat that registered more than 90 degrees, they wielded picks and shovels with zeal. And after Supervisor T. P. Kegan had called the experiment at and end for the day. they returned to camp duties, perfecting arrangements for their long stay. In the late afternoon they played baseball, went swimming, fished. None of the men look on the hard work that is confronting them as other than a congenial summer outing. A little before 5 a. m., the men sauntered out of the front door of the penitentiary. It was dark, because of a clouded sky, and had any wished to escape it would have been a simple matter to slip away in the darkness. "But no man wants to escape," J. R.. a former Chicago burglar, said. "We think too much of the new warden. Since he came here in April I have gained in weight from 156 to 180 pounds. There is not a man in this crowd but would fight to the death for him. He has made himself a personal friend to each one of us. "Mr. Allen has told us all about what is expected of us and we are not going to let him be disappointed. We realize we are making more than one road while we are out here in the country. We are breaking a path for thousands of other fellows who have slipped a cog and are sorry and are anxious to get level in the world again. "There is no more going down the hole in the nenitentiary. If a prisoner is mean he is not hung to the bars of a cell down the hole and starved for punishment. I know of men who died in Joliet prison while they were being punished In that way. Mr. Allen has done away with that. "When Mr. Allen came the first thing he did was to order pork chops for everybody. It was the first time I had seen pork chops for three years. This is the latest and we are going to show that we still are human and can 1 appreciate human treatment." Some of the prisoners had not been beyond the prison walls for nearly a score of years. As the special electric car that brought them to Aurora sped through the country their eyes were not removed from the passing landscape. At one place the car stopped for a few moments and a policeman in uniform stepped from another car. "Ho, there's Johnny Few Clothes," called half a dozen men. The policeman looked up in blank surprise. He seemed to be debating whether he should attempt to place the whole car under arrest. "Johnny Few Clothes used to be a guard In the prison," J. C., a former pickpocket, explained. "He came to the prison with only a shirt and a pair of overalls. The men nicknamed him Johnny Few Clothes. He was very much disliked and was recently discharged."
