1 don't ltnow whether I cr.n write a n
letter or not. I will try. The effort

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'

usinoss and I never went again.
Rut our little town wasn't big ,
nough for YVildman and so he ;
loved to Columbus and made a great
eputation. 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. It is a curious coinidonce
that three doctors from our
own went to Savannth to fight the>
ever and every ore of them took it
nd died.
But I was ruminating about the
uffering and agony that the advance
surgerv and physic has saved man;ind
and I rejoice that Crawford
.ong has been given the first place
n the Hall of Fame. I was at school
n Athens when his discovery was
nade, but the magnitude cf it was
lot realized until long after. I was
>ne of the first to have a tooth exracted
by the use of his lethean.
Let me rest a while, for I am
veak and nervous and, as Byron
;aid:
"My visions fit less palpably before

I have just enjoyed a good, long let;er
from my old school mate, Nathan {
Crawford, of Lincolnton. He is the;
lonored school commissioner of the
:ounty and will die in harness, I
eckon. He is in his eightieth year,
>ut we were class mates, for he was
me of these sure and slow boys,
vkile I was precocious and uncertain.
Dnly three of us left now, for Tom
Alexander is living at Roaie. Nathan
vrites a good, old-fashioned, cheerul
letter, and says that he never

i plenty without stealing. It is too
ate now for him to assume a saintly
norality, for Tom and I still live to

-low a Cracksman Strikes a Match.
"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."?

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*.'

Emigrants from Ireland.
The capacity of Ireland for sending
out emigrants has been one of the
marvels of the world. During 1001
the island sent out 39,870 emigrants,
or 9 in every 1,000 of population, of
whom 80.5 per cent were between the
ages of 15 and 35. Even this large
total is some 7,000 smaller than that of
1900.
