I * But I must stop now and take j r breath. A good long breath is what 11 want. The old woman was asked what! ft disease her husband died of and she I said the doctors differed about it, but she always believed he died for lack of breath. I don't want to go that j] way. I was ruminating about these ^ physicians, for doctor is not the proper name. Doctor means a teacher . of anything whether it be science or art or law or pharmacy or theology. . 1 ? J- -Irrhf wnrrt Tt is 3 ruv&itiaii 15 iac n^ub ?*w.v.. very ancient name for the profession. The Bible tells how Joseph got the T physicians to embalm his oid father, J but I do not think it was a very t popular profession among the Jews, for it is mentioned only two or three 5 times and with doubtful favor. King b Asa had a disease ij} his feet and S would not call upon the Lord for relief, but sent for a physician, and he j j, died and slept with his fathers. Then | there was a woman who had had anI ^ issue of blood for twelve years and j > had suffered much from many phys ! ? icians and spent all she had- and was | 0 nothing better, but rather grew worse j The Jew:- unto this day do not give much patronage to physicians or s modirinps. i never knew but J1 one Jew doctor, though there are a j 11 few very eminent ones in the large j * cities, for whatever a learned Jew does he docs well. There is a doctor: e Jacobi in New York city who stands J at the head of the profession and is > s consulted by the rich and great nioD a of the nation. j ii Now, let me stop for another good ! long breath. Wh^n I was a boy we t( didn't have but one doctor in tht a town, and he weighed 300 pounds and a was never in a hurry. He left little ' babies around ever and anon and . when one came to our house our old cook told us where he got them and she slyly pointed to his corporosity. " He had a little office on the street and a few shelves with bottles oc Tl them containing calomel, salts and j castor oil, senna and cammomile and * Peruvian bark, balsam of copaiba, and such simple things and in the 5 corner was a skeleton in a box that c stood upright, with a screw in the <1 skull, and sometimes the little, long t door was open and we school chil- a dren could peep in and then run for t our lives. It was an auful sight. But f. the old doctor got too old and fat to f practice and sent to New York for his nephew. Dr. Philo D. Wildman, r a student of Valentine Mott, the 1 great New York physician and sur- I geon. He was as smart as his tutor t And went to cutting and slashing our e people just like killing hogs. H# c strightened cross eyes and sewed up f hare lips and cut stones out of blad- j ders. The agonizing screams of poor little John Thompson, my school ^ mate, still haunt me, for he was i 2 I had a good doctor who has nursed j me night and day and cheered me up j a and comforted me and I am on the j <" up grade, though as the Georgia j " crackers say. "I am powerful weak." This doctor is my son and he says he , has not forgotten how his mother and I nursed him for three lone months' in Florida and saved his life and now j I shall not die if he can help it. I; j take all his medicine, quinine, strych- . nlr.e, calomel, spirits of nitre and cap- j! sulcs without number, and tonics, too. j 1 and if I get well I will never know ] 1 what cured me, but he will. What 1 would the .world do without doctors7: J King Edward and I would have died j * last week. 1 About twenty years ago I had a ; spell like this one, for I had been | * working in the water all day trying [ to dam up the branch in the meadow ! 1 so that the children could go in bathing. That night I liked to have I j died and old Dr. Kirk was sent for j : and worked on me for three or four days and got me up again. My wife : c told me then that if I didn't be more J careful of myself I wouldn't live out half my days. She told me the same thing the other day, and she knows. Old Dr. Kirk is a trump. Ho was our family doctor until he got old and j tired and moved away to live with ! his children. Before he moved to this] place from South Carolina he had a love scrape over there, and he had a rival, too, and they fell out. The girl' wouldn't have either one of them and 1 the other fellow heard that the doctor had told stories on him to the girl and so after the doctor located here his rival wrote to him and demanded a retraxit or else a fight. The doctor wrote him a stinger and refused to make a retraxit, but would accept his challenge and fight him until Hades froze over, and as the fight- 1 ing code gave the challenged parly choice of weapons and time and place and distance he should choose rifles at long range and the next 29th day of February as the time and I jj the other fellow must stay where he j was and shoot over this way and he I ^ (the doctor) would stay here and Q shoot over that way and both must' ?

About that time the yol3\v fever visited Savannah, and Vildrnan believed he could stamp it ut and that he was an immune, but e wasn't. He took the fever right way and died.

"Ever see a cracksman strike a natch?" asked Chief of Detectives Jiller. "No?" Well, he does It with .n exaggeration of gesture such as mi see in baseball pitchers. He rouches low down, draws the match luickly over trousers, rises and hrows his arm high above his head s the flame appears and then tos&ea he match at once away, having given limself Just time to take a quick ook about him. He scratches the natch low down; thus you, if you are here, hear the sound in one place, le lifts it above his head and thus he sound and the light in two differ;nt localities at almost the same time onfuse yoif, and if you shoot at the lame you do not hit the cracksman, ie throws the match quickly away, io that you may not have the look iround the room that he obtained."? Philadelphia Record. ? When Coorte?y Failed. Senator-elect McCreary of Kentucky was in Washington a few days ago calling upon hi3 old friends in congress whom he knew when he represented his state in the house. "McCreary was a fine campaigner," said a Kentuckian. "When he went the rounds of his district he kissed ali the babies, praised the cooking of the housewives, judged the cattle of the farmers, and adapted himself to all circumstances. One night he drove up to the house of a farmer to stop all night, but arrived after the supper hour. The good woman of the house Insisted on getting him a supper, but he resisted and said he would take anything cold that she had. "She told him she had some cold ham and cold biscuits and would warm the coffee. " 'Never mind warming the coffee, madam,' said McCreary, 'I prefer it cold.' Next morning at breakfast the good lady handed him a cup of sickly looking liquid, saying, 'Governor, you seemed to enjoy the cold coffee so much I saved some for your breakfas*.'
