THE DOCTOR'S BURDEN.
Some years ago I received a call
I will never regret. It Was Jan-
uary of much such a winter as we
had last year. The night was
fearfully dark, moonless and star-
less, and the fine icy snow falling
densely obliterated the street
lamps, if, indeed, any remained
lighted. There was more than a
foot of snow on the ground, and
this depth was increasing rapidly;
the wind was blowing sixty miles
an hour, and piling the snow into
almost impassable drifts, and the
cold was beyond description. In
short, a first class blizzard had
possession of the city and was
holding high revel in the streets.
I had had a hard day, had just re-
turned from a long trip completely
worn out, and at 12 o'clock was
just gettiug warm and comfortable
in bed, and devoutly praying that
no one would require my services
for some hour& to come, when my
bell began to*ring in a way that
threatened to snap the wires. The
cold struck me as soon as I arose,
and with chattering teeth and
husky voice I demanded to know
who wanted me.
From chattering teeth.and husky
voice came back, "Mrs. So-and-so
wauts you at on.ee, her baby is
dying." Mrs. So-and-so liyed-two
miles, as the crow flies, and good
ihree miles by the crooked streets
through which I had to drive, but
tfre call represented duty, and in
those days when duty called 1
generally responded promptly.
I invited the messenger boy to
return with me, but he declined
vigorously. He wouldn't go back
"for nothing"; he was going to
stay at his aunt's, in the next
street, he was, and he wouldn't be
in my place, that he wouldn't, not
if anybody was to offer him five
dollars; no, sir.
My coachman had gone home
sick, so 1 had to harness the
horses. As I do not want to har-
row the feelings of my audience I
will not teH how long it took me
to make those three miles, how
often the sleigh upret, how often
the horses fell, or how many times
they stuck in the drifts, from
which it was almost impossible to
extricate them. We had to go the
whole distance at a snail's pace,
and a very slow snail at that. The
streets were deserted, I did not see
two persons during the entire
drive. I was stiff with cold an£
my breath froze in icicles on my
mustache; in short I was freezing.
The mind works queerly at such
times. I was. always fond of
rhyming, and these crazy rhymes
began to weave through my brain:
Dark was the night, the snow fell
fast.
The bitter winds did blow,
When out into the tempest wild
The doctor had to go.
He was a slender, fragile man,
A man built much like me,
And quite unfit to breast the ga!e
That drove in from the sea.
But 'twas his sweetheart who was ill,
So he fought on and on,
Till he fell down and lay quite still,
For all his strength was gone.
The gale drove on before it ran,
A lovely white mist wrath,
And ran and ran until it stood
Right in the doctor's path.
"She's dead and is aghost," he cried
Because I could not treat her.
I'll die and be a spectre too,
And then I'll "spec-ter" meet her.
Then I began to doze, and the
next thing I knew the horses had
stopped, but this time it was in
front of the house to which 1 had
been called. They had been there
before and knew the place. The
house was dark and there was no
sign of anyone being up.
I rang and rang, then knocked
and knocked, then rang, then
knocked, all the time growing
colder and colder in the cutting
blasts that swept the street. At
last when my patience was com-
pletely exhausted a head was
thrust from an upstairs window
and a shrill feminine voice called:
! "That you, Doctor? Oh, Doctor,
| we thought baby had swallowed a
j pin, but after we had sent the boy
| we found the pin. You won't
charge for this visit, will you?"
Not charge! Great Scott! A11
Indian war was raging at the time
and 1 was mad enough to have
charged single handed every dis-
The People's Response.
Schulenburg, Texas, November 17, 1900.
To The Sticker:
In your issue of Nov. 8th appeared my advertisement announcing
that between 3 and 4 p. m., Nov. 15th, I wouid condu.'t a special sale
in calicoes, in response to which so many people came to my store
that the building would not contain them, it having become necessary,
in order to serve those who had already gained admission, to close the
doors of my establishment, which forced many of my customers to
congregate on the sidewalk where they waited patiently until it was
possible for them to be admitted and care for their wants. This cer-
tainly speaks well for The Sticker as an advertising medium.
I. DITCH. $
affected red skin in the wild and
woolly West up the-sheer wall of a
canon ten thousand feet high. Not
charge! I charged all the way
home; I did not get cold going
back; I didn't make any more
rhymes; but I did use a good many
strong biblical terms, perhaps not
wisely, but I know I used them
well.
I have always been liberal in my
views in regard to religious de-
nominations.
As far as I am concerned a man
may be Methodist, Episcopalian,
Lutheran, Roman Catholic, Budd-
hist, Mohammedan, Hard-shell
Baptist, or Quaker Oats, but since
that night I have specially favored
Christian Science; any science,
creed, profession, or call it what
you will, that will enable a tired
physician to lie snug and warm in
his bed and give absent treatment
on stormy nights commends itself
to me.—E. Miller Reid, M. D., in
Medical Gleaner.
Miiliona (Jiven Away.
It is certuinly gratifying to the
public to know of one concern
which is not afraid to be generous.
The proprietors of Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colls, have given away
over ten million trial bottles and

cases. Asthina, Bronchitis, La

Lung diseases are surely cured by
it. Call 011 Paul Bipymann Drug

Regular size 50c and $1.00. Every
bottle guaranteed.
Men'* Belts and Their Effect,
There is another side to the Icatli*
er belt now so greatly affected by
men, in lieu of suspenders,. A pro=
minent Eastern physician says of
it: "The belt is very nice in a great
many ways, and certainly it is more
sightly when a man wishes to re-
move his coat. But it is a menace
to digestion. In order to keep the
trousers in proper position it is ne-
cessary to have the belt buckled in
so tightly that it can't help having
an injurious effect, In hot weather
the greatest freedom of movement
should be observed, and the looser a
man's clothes are the better it is for
him. These belts, too, seem to
grow narrower each'year, and when
they are buckled tightly they form
a deep groove around tho body,
which retards circulation and has a
bad effect upon the digestive organs.
Many a man who complains because
his food doesn't agree with him
might overcome the difficulty by dis-
carding his belt."
Spread Like Wildfire.
When things are "the best" they
become the 'kbest selling." Abra-
ham Hare, a leading druggist, of
Belleville, O., writes: "Electric
Bitters are the best selling bitters
I have handled in 20 years. You
know why? Most diseases begin
in disorders of stomach, liver, kid-
neys, bowels, blood and nerves.
Electric Bitters tones up the stotn
ach, regulates liver, kidneys and
bowels, purities the blood,strength-
ens the nerves, hence cures multi-
tudes of maladies. It builds uj
the entire system. Puts new life
and vigor into any weak, sickly,
running down man or woman.
Price 50 cents. Sold by Paul Brey-
mann Druggist.
Medal for American Showing.
One of the interesting awards of
the international jury 011 secondary
education at the Paris exposition is
that of a gold medal to the Ameri-
can museum of natural history in
Central park, New York city, for
its illustrations prepared and the
collaboration with the New York
state educational system. The il-
lustrations thus appreciated were
.stereopticon slides accompanying
lectures on the Hawaiian islands,
the Riviera, the Pyrenees, the Alps,
Tyrol, and other European regions.
These are used in all the schools of
New York state.
TWO LINES OF DEVELOPMENT.
There is one industry in Texas
that has thrived wonderfully—the
making of food and manufacturing
products from the-seed of the cot-
ton plant.
In this State there are 130 cotton
seed oil mills, which not only
shows a wonderful development of
an industry that was not known
twenty years ago, but is likewise a
striking refutation of the claims
that Texas laws are antagonistic to
manufacturing investments. These
mills represent an investmont of
over $6,000,000 in this State, and
the proprietors of them have been
given every protection by the rail-
road commission and by city and
State laws. The number of mills
has increased yearly, and to-day
Texas has one-fourth of all the
manufacturing plants of this char-
acter in the South.
This State has more oil mills
than both the Carolinas combined.
South and North Carolina are far
ahead ofTexas in factories to man-
ufacture cottou goods, however.
In fact, Texas has made very little
progress in that line of develop-
ment, while the Carolinas are lead-
ing the South in cotton milk. Our
oil mills now bring to the State
more than $12,000,000 annually,
and promise to increase in number
and value each year, and it would
induce investment in other lines of
manufacturing.
If men with money were willing
to experiment years ago with what
was then considered a vast pro-
duct, and found it a veritable mine
of wealth, why should they hesi-
tate to invest in factories to make
cotton goods, when it has been
proven that such plants aro always
profitable iq the South under
proper management?
Houston will receive over two
million bales of cotton this year
and will not manufacture one
pound of it. Wagons alone bring
to the city enough cotton to keep
two or three mills busy each year.
It is even said that the samples
taken from the bales of cottou
handled by Houston firms would
be sufficient to furnish the raw
product for one factory. If there
were factories of this character in
Harris county farmers could sell
the cotton to the mills without
ever having it baled or compressed,
thus making the crop at least 10
per cent more valuable to them.
A gentleman in this city who
has been running a very successful
press cloth factory is endeavoring
to organize a stock company with
a view of increasing the capacity
of his plant and manufacture a
coarse variety of cotton goods.
His present factory is making
money and there is every reason
to believe that the added industry
would prove successful. To those
who have faith in Houston, faith
in Texas and who want an invest-
ment it would seem that such an
opportunity as this would be
seized upon immediately. On the
contrary, it will take a committee
of citizens, and several weejks of
argument, to induee men with
money to help organize this com-
1 pany.
We should remember, however,
that when the first cotton seed oil
mill was built in Houston, its fail-
ure was predicted. Now there are
five of them here and they are all
busy.—Houston Post.
It ij too much to have to scratch
for a living and for relief also.
Hunt's cure will not holp you in
the former case, but will sure cure
the Itch, Tetter or Ringworm,
Itching Piles, or it costs you noth-
ing. Price 50 cents.
In his report for November 1
Col. Henry G. Hester, secretary
of the New Orleans Cotton Ex-
change, shows that the amount of
cotton brought into sight during
the first two months of the present
season was 3,051,320 bales, an in
crease over the same period last
year of 190,085 bales; exports
were 1,427,107 hales, an increase
of 184,209; takings by Northern
spiuners 324,305 bales, a decrease
of 134.151; by Southern spinners
274,606 bales, a decrease of 15,200
bales.

'"Ton undcrsta-nd, of course/' pur-
sued the lawyer, "what is meant by
a "preponderance of evidence?"''
"Yes, sir," replied the man whom
he was examining with reference to
his qualifications as a juror.
"Let me have your idea of it, if
you please?" -
"I understand it, I tell you." '
"Well, what is it ?"
"Why, anybody can understand
that."
"I Mould like to have your defini-
tion of it."
"I know what it is all right;.
W hen I tell you I knoW what a
thing is, I know it. That's all
there is about that."
"Well, what was the question I
asked you?"
"You ought to know what that
was. If you've forgot your own
questions, don't try to get me to re-
member them for you,"
"I don't want to hear any more
of that kind of talk," interrupted
the court. "Answer the questioB3
addressed to yon by. the counsel."
"Judge, I did. He asked me if
I knew what it was, and I ;§aid I
did."
'"Are you sure you understand
what is meant by the term 'prepon-
derance of evidence'?"
"Of course I am, judge."
"Weil, le us hear your idea of
it."
"It's evidence previously ponder-
ed."

Shirt Waists and Short Skirts.
The manager of one of the big-
gest New York dry goods stores was
asked the other day what particular
feminine garments were most in de-
mand at this time. He answered,
unhesitatingly: "Shirfe waists first
and then rainy day skirts. 1 really
think that five women out of six in
New York have purchased, or in-
tend to purchase, a rainy day cos-
tume. The short skirt, clearing the
ground by several inches and solidly
stitched at the bottom 60 that it
cannot fray, is an immensely popu-
lar garment. And it deserves to be,
for it is eminently sensible. You
can trust the American \voman to
dress wisely every time—always pro-
vided she can be stylish at the same
time."
A cough is anjiasy thing to cure
if taken in time. It is dangerous
to neglect one for any length of
time. Dr. Simmons' Cough Syrup
is guaranteed. Jb ifty cents a bottle.
Fire Years Old.
The present conservative govern-
ment of Great Britain celebrated its
fifth birthday on July 2. England
has had a total of twenty-eight ad-
ministrations in this century, eight
of which were longer than the pres-
ent one. The longest was that of
Lord Liverpool, which lasted from
1812 to 1827, a period of fourteen
years and 310 days. Lord Salis-
bury's second administration endur-
ed for six years and fifteen days, in
which time there were six changes
in its composition. The remark-
able thing about the present one is
that there has not been a single
change, despite the fact that it has
nineteen members.

"Up in the mountains of Tennes-
see I found the biggest hearted peo-
ple I have ever met in my life,"
said a Boston man, who had recently
returned from a sojourn there, the
other day. "I visited a friend in
Chattanooga a few weeks ago, and
R*e went together on a hunting trip
up in the mountains. We were out
three days, and each night stopped
at the home of a mountainer. They
couldn't do enough for us. Their
homes were humble, it is true, but
no lord of a manor could have made
us more royally welcome. They
spread the best they had before us,
and jnade us feel that they consid-
ered it an honor and a privilege to
have us at their boards. There was
a simple genuineness about their
hospitality that was most charming.
tell you some society woman in the
ranks of the '400' could go to these
people and get valuable lessons in
the art of entertaining. I was
stupid enough to want to ask them
for our bill after the first night's en-
tertainment, but my friend was wis-
er. He told me, and I came to re-
alize it later, that they would have
been iffended and deeply hurt had
we mentioned sueK a thing as pay-
ing fir what we had received. We
managed it by making presents to
the child:-en, and they were, of suf-
ficiently substantial a nature as to
enable us to feel that we had not
imposed upon the generosity of our
hosts."

recaai In Plenty.
The pecan crop of Texas promises
to be the largest known in many
years. Last year's crop was a small
one, caused principally by the floods
in the Brazos valley, but this year
the trees are loaded with nuts. The
price is better than usual, owing to
the fact there is no surplus from
last year, and that the demand for
for the nut steadily grows. St.
(x>uis is the great place and market
for the Texas nuts, and thencc the}*
ire distributed all over the world,
London, Paris and Naples taking
large tjunntitics of them.
Gonzales county appears to be
terribly infested with "the scrub
element and rabble," judging from
the splendid endorsement that Mr.
Burges received.—Flatonia Record
