"Xuree," piped tbe sniail boy in cot
3, "the doctor's dead stack on you." ,
'IIusli," said the nurse ami l.-frntorer
him and tucked Ui:n up.
Ilor cheeks wore very red as she
went out of the ward, and when ."he
was alone in the diet kitchen she said
tinder her breath, "The idea'"
That afternoon she carried a wee
bunch of violets to the small boy and
pinned them on his little white night
shirt. "I picked them in the yard," she
told him. "Spring is coming, and I
saw a robin on the lawn."
The small boy eyed her adoringly,
and when the doctor came he whis
pered, "The nurse gave 'em to me the
pretty one with the blue eyes."
"Nurse Isabelle?" asked the big, fair
haired doctor. '
"Yep," said the small boy, "the one
you're stuck on."
The doctor stared at him through his
thick eyeglasses. "The idea!" he said,
then with the red coming into his face,
"Don't talk, Jimmie; It's bad for you."
But when he had tended the poor lit
tle throat and the boy lay weak and
pale on his pillow the doctor whispered,
"May I have a violet, Jimmie?" and
the small boy nodded, and the doctor
laid the little blue flower carefully in
his pocketbook between the prescrip
tions and the unpaid bills.
Unpaid bills were the reason thht, in
spite of his thirty-five years, the doctor
had not indulged in romance. Notwith
standing his success in his profession,
the expenses of city living and a mort
gage on his mother's farm kept him in
a state of chronic insolvency, with a
consequent constant shabbiness.
At the door Nurse Isabelle helped
him on with his rusty overcoat.
"There's a button off," she told him.
"I'll sew it on if you will wait."
And as she took deft stitches the doc
tor looked down at her white capped
head. From beneath . the cap little
blond locks curled against her round
throat.
"Jimmie's right," he said aloud, and
.When, Nurse Isabelle said "What?" in
ISABELI.E BEST OVER HIM AND SAKO
SOFTLY.
a startled way he stammered: "Oh,
nothing. Let me know how the boy
is," and went away.
That night he took an account of
ways nu-i means and found that it
wouldn't do. There was a big balance
jet to be paid a the mortgage, and
he must still travel the path of loneli
ness. "Oh, I say," Jimmie informed him a
week later, "you ain't doin' it right,"
"Why not?" the doctor asked.
"Aw, you ought to bring her a rose
or s-j.ne violets," Jimmie told him.
"She iikes "em."
"I haven't time for foolishness," the
doctor 6tated briefly, and Nurse Isa
bella coming up, heard him.
With her head held high she helped
him examine Jimmie, and after the
doctor had gone the small boy said
ahyly:
"Well, anyhow, I'm dead stuck on
you, nurse, dear." She kissed him with
her cheeks, blazing.
That night she telephoned to the doc
tor, "Jlmmia is worse." , ,
When he came, the small boy was
lighting for breath. "Tell me about
the robin," he begged feebly ( and Nurse
Isabella bent over him and sang softly,
"Tbe robin la dressed In his feathers and
down.
Wlth warm, red breut and his wings of
brown,"
And then she stood back that the doc
Itoc might see him. x - -, . .
! Bhe knew that things were very
wrong. The doctor gave orders quick
ly, and she followed them, and for
lours they fought with death.
At midnight they thought that the
nd had come. Jimmie lay very still
(With his little face gray In the shaded
(light
Isabelle, bending over him, began to
cry, silently at first, then hysterically.
"Oh, why cant you save him?" she
rasped. "Why can't you save him?"
"Hush!" the doctor warned. "Hush!"
But she was worn out, and the sobs
eania faster and faster as with shaking
hands she tried to hold Jimmie up.
The doctor took the boy from her.
"Go and get me hot water," he or
dered "plenty of It I'm ashamed of
(you."
1 When she came back, he had his coat
. I
oJT and his sleeves were rolled up.
"It's the last chance," he said, and she
helped him lift Jimmie into the bath.
The tears ran flown her cheeks and
dripped into the tub.1 Once she looked
at the doctor. "I am so ashamed of
myself ." s'ae whispered. "But I have
not many people to love me." And she
, sobbed under her breath, y
V. The doctor's hair was wet, his face
tvas red, and his shirt . was open at
Hie neck, showing the cords of his
strong neck. He lifted the little steam
f iu."c lody in his arms and held the boy
while Nurse Isabelle enveloped him in
a heated blanket. "''
JLnniie opened his eyes as tney laid
him on his little cot ''Tell me about
the robin," he murmured dreamily and
went to sleep, holding tight to Nurse
Isabelle's finger. . - r-. ..; : " '
The doctor, warm and rumpled, look
1 id at the two. . v
; ' "You haven't any business nursing,"
he said to Isabelle. . ... . ,-y' .
Her startled eyes met his. "I was
i afraid yem would say that," she qua
vered. "I was such a fooL" .
, "You are no,t a fool," the doctor
blazed, "but some women aren!t any
more fitted to be nurses than I am to
be the angel Gabriel." i.
Nurse Isabelle was not so, sure of his
unStness for the sacred office as he
Stood there in his strength and dig
nity, with his halo of fair hair. .. ' ,
"If. I had anything to .offer you," he
remarked abruptly, "I'd marry you."
"Oh!" Nurse Isabelle tried to rise,
but Jimmie's thin fingers held her.
"Please, don't," she begged.
"Don't disturb my patient" -was the
doctor's peremptory command. He ran
his fingers through his hair. "If I
wasn't so dead poor," he ruminated.
"A woman .who breaks down at such
an important moment isn't fit to be in
a hospital," he continued. "She ought
to be in" a home where the tenderness
would not be wasted." w
He came around to Nurse Isabelle's
side. It was very still in the big room.
The screen around Jimmie's bed hid
them from such wakeful patients as
might be in ward 7.
"In my home it would not be wasfc
ed," he said softly.
Jimmie stirred slightly. Nurse Isa
belle rose and bent over him. When
she straightened up she was within the
circle of the doctor's arm. , ,
"Oh!" she gasped, all pink and white
and Beautiful, r .
"You're SHCh a little thing to take
care of yourself," the doctor whisper
ed. "And I'll make ends meet"
As she raised a radiant face Jimmie
opened his eyes and took in the satis
fying situation.
"I told you he was dead stuck on
you," he chuckhjd weakly.
How the Months Got Their Names.
The months of the year obtained
their names from widely varying
sources. January was named from the
Roman god Janus, the deity with two
faces, one looking to the east and the
other toward the West February comes
from the Latin word februo, to purify.
It was the ancient Roman custom to
hold festivals of purification during
that month. March owes its name to
an. old god of war. Among the Sax
ons this month was known as lenst
meaning spring, which was the origin
of our word Dent It is claimed by
some that April was named from the
Latin word aperixe, open, in significa
tion of the opening . buds. ; , In Saxon
days It was called eastre, In honor of
Eastra, the goddess of spring, from
which comes our word Easter. May
was named after Maia, the Roman
goddess of growth or increase, and
June was from the Latin juvenls
(young). Julius Caesar himself named
July in his own honor, and August was
likewise named by Augustus Caesar.
September is from the Latin word sep
tem, meaning seven, it being the sev
enth month of the year according to
the old Roman calendar, and October,
November and December likewise re
tain the names they were known by iu
the old Roman calendar.
The Saddle.
The heavy man should be most par
ticular about his saddle and that it
shall be not only broad seated, but long
in the tree, that his weight may be dis
tributed over as large a surface on the
horse's back as possible and should ex
ercise great care that not only is it well
stuffed, especially about the withers,
but that the stuffing is constantly
worked light and kept from caking or
becoming lumpy anywheje. Neglect of
these precautions will Inevitably lead
to chafing and bruising of. the back or
painful pinching and bruising of the
withers, this, .latter injury, leading
very possibly to further , complications
in the way of fistula, etc., which may
result - in permanent - and very severe
complications. The Individual of light
er weight is more fortunate In these re
spects, as he Is not so likely to Injure
his mount severely by the mere amount
of weight he represents, but even be
must be duly careful not only upon the
grounds of self interest, but upon those
of ordinary humanity. F. M. Ware in

GOOD SEED.
The woes of the amateur garden
er ,are very amusing, to others,, but
3icidedly real to the man who has
spoiled a suit of clothes, blistered
his hands and lost his temper in his
eflort to make things grow.
A young married man early in the
spring secured a suburban place,
mainly with the' idea of ' "fresh,
home grown vegetables." Every
evening he would hurry through his
supper and rush out to his "garden,
where he ' displayed more energy
than skill. But, alas! 'When many
little green' things began to' break
the ground in his neighbors' gar
densj his own remained as bare as
the Sahara.- ' '' y"v ' -
"It certainly has got ' me beat,"
he confided to a friend at his office
one day. "I can't understand why
not a blessed thing has come up. I
planted peas and corn and toma
toes." "Perhaps the seed were defec
tive," the friend suggested.
"I hardly think it was that," the
gardener replied, "for I got the very
best paid 15 eents a can for them."

v The retirement of Colonel Ma
thias," the man who led the Gordon
highlande'rs when they stormed the
heights of Dargai ten 'years ago,-recalls
a curious story of how he came
to join that famous regiment. The
gallant colonel is not a Scotsman,
but a Welshman," and it was owing
to a slip of the pen that he joined
the : renowned Seventy-fifth regi
ment. :"I was intended," he says,
"to go into the old Ninety-fifth regi
ment; but 9 and 7 are very-much
alike and by a slip of the pen I was
gazetted to the Seventy-fifth."' A
story .(i8 told concerning Colonel
Mathias when he was leading the
famous charge at Dargai. "Stiff
climb, eh, Mackie ?" he said breath
lessly to the color sergeant by his
side. -"I'm not so young as I was,
you know." "Never mind, sir,' the
sergeant replied, "ye're going verra
strong for an auld, mon."- Tit-Bits.
The Portrait Pipe.
The portrait pipe is a fad with
certain wealthy young men, says a
London paper. One of the most
beautiful is owned hy a well known
peer, who was married to an Ameri
can beauty a few years agov. He
wished to have a pipe made bearing
the likeness of his wife, and left
several photographs and a statuette
of her with the carver. A month
later he received the pipe and a bill
for $800. A number of pieces of
meerschaum had been tried, only to
prove defective, and the last piece,
which measured eight inches high,
seven inches broad and twelve
inches deep, was reduced to a pipe
three inches high and two and one
half inches ' at its widest part.
When completed, the pipe had
passed through, the hands of twenty-seven
workmen. -'' .

What tha South Has Dona.
The south has worked out three
fundamental' tasks which all the
world may profit by: ;
-First. How to teach the farmer
who is now on the land to double
his crop.
Second. How to teach boys and

BROODER CHICKS.
Ms:heds Employed by a Capable Pour
,. try Woman In , Raising Them, y ;i
;: Mrs. -C. B.t Walker Vf Brownsburg,
Ind thus explains her method, of rais-,
tag brooder chicks for tae benefit of
rhe readers of American Poultry Jour
nal j The. first ' thing after the . chicks
are out of the shell and dry we take
them ' to the brooder, being sure the
heat is not less than 95 degrees. We
never" Teed "until, the chick is -about
forty-eight hours old; then we give dry
breadcrumbs mixed with hard boiled
egg. and a little bit of black pepper
also. I dry the eggshell and pulverize
this and mix in feed, which I find the
chicks, are very fond of. This we feed
for two or three :days. with plenty of
water or milk. . The chicks should be
fed only as much as they can eat clean,
allowing no food to be left over, as it
is better to feed three or four times a
day.' We cover the floor of the brooder
with paper, as this can easily be re
moved with all filth and burned, this
being done every day. After the chicks
are a week old we make corn bread, as
for .table use. .using pepper and egg
shell for grit. This may be given three
times a day "or as often as chicks are
hungry,", with .a little - fresh meat
ground, fine. We always keep a small
pan of grit in ., brooder so chicks can
go to this at will., . Now, to the brooder
we. attach a box for a run, the box
being four feet long and one and a half
-feet wide. In this we have plenty of
alfalfa litter on floor, with small grain,
such as Kaffir corn, cracked corn or
wheat thrown in, so this will give the
little chicks, plenty of exercise. When
they, are a week old, we, raise the small
door of broodeV and let them into this
run, which you will find they greatly
enjoy. At three weeks we begin to
give potatoes, cabbage or any conven
ient vegetable for green food. We also
find they are very fond of -onion chop
ped fine. We never feed sloppy foods
or mashes to young chicks, as we think
these are the cause of so much bowel
trouble. Right here let me say I find
nothing so good for this trouble as
ginger tea a teaspoonful of ginger,
with a teacupfnl of boiling water, aft
er cooling. You will find the chicks
are fond of this. Be sure there is no
other water they can get to. We give'
this drink often while trouble lasts, If
It appears. It will be all right to give
them this drink once a week until five
or six weeks old. " Keep before them
plenty of grit and charcoal, and as far
as feeding is concerned the chicks will
grow to be healthy and happy if ev
erything connected with the brooder is
kept perfectly clean. After the first
week we reduce the temperature of
brooder to 75 degrees and the fourth
week to about 60 degrees.
Up to Them.

How Some People Blunder.
'"To err js Iniuiau. -vThis we all
kepw, and frequently" : persons
with seft hearts and ' poor judge
ment, do the most absurd and un
reasonable things, all with the
very best of intentions, and thus
mix up their own or their
neighbors affairs in a way
that icaufes great - ; vexa
tation and annoyance, if not posi
tive ". anger and 1 indignation.
Sometimes such : blunders are
made by an individul, isoinetiinss
by societies or fraternal organiza
tions, at the instigation of some
wtil meaning but entirely too
hasty persons, aBd the result is
i blunder that brings humilia
tion and indignation to all con
cerned, all of which , could . be
avoided by obtaining a ; more
thorough knowledge of the mat
ter in hand before any steps are
taken. The old rule is a mighty
good one to follow: . VBe sure
you're right then go ahead,"
the importance oi : the same be
ing contained in the admonition
"Be sure you're right." In this
way many painfui and distressing
affairs in life may be avoided.
Persons who attend closely to
their own affairs do not, as a
rule, have time to become very
greatly excited over the affairs of
their neighbors, even though
their motives in doing so may be
of the best.
Notes on trie Fair.
People who visit the Fair will
find places to get something to
eat. Besides the hotels, restur
ants, boarding houses' and lunch
counters the women of the town
are providing places where meals
and lunches will , be served,
notices of which appear elese
where, and it is hoped no visitor
will be forced to wait an un
reasonable time for meals or go
hungry.
S. Iy. Kline has given the
W. C. T. U. ladies free use the
Mrs. .Lillie King boarding house
on Third street, during the Fair.
The house is furnished through
out and Mr. Kline donates the
use of furniture, beds, bedding
and cooking utensils and the
ladies are to rent rooms and
serve meals," the money to go to
the W. C.T. TJ.
,The undertaking is praise
worthy from the standpoint of
Mr. Kline's generosity and the
ladies' as well, and being close to
the court house square the place
will no doubt be liberally patro
nized. Exhibit Room for Citizens.

Dog Had "Jag'
Dirty, goodsatured, his legs describing
all; sorts of curves and in spirits hilarious,
a half-grown brindle bull teirior with a
full-grown "jag" first frightened and
then amused 100 people at the noon
hour in Knclid avenue,' says an eastern
dispatch to the Oregonian. - - -.
When the general public began to
take notice, tbe dog was on the sidewalk
making honest, if somewhat awkward,
attempts to be friendly with every pas
serby. His walk was not straight enough
always to lead him directly to the person
he started for, but he was not offended if
he brought up against someone else. '
. At first the passereby who stopped to
watch the pup feared he was a victim of
rabies, but a red-nosed person soon diag
nosed the symptoms, and bis announce,
ment that tbe dog was "plain drunk"
was too plainly the truth to be doubted
A policeman finally came along and
had the dog taksn down into the big ex
cavation for the foundation of the new
First National Bank building, and there
his dogship proceeded to sleep off bis
"jag."
His owner and tbe means by which he
got the "booze'' remain mysteries.
