Doctor George.
About the only earthly
xion of any value George Ilium
had on trie 114 birthday was a
liaoilweie diploma of parchment
lied up with a blue ribbon. The
diploma was from a medical col
lege of very high standing, nml
George bad worked hard and faith
fully for four long rears for that
diploma. That he deserved it,
made it a valuable possession.
He bad with it a good deal of
capital in tbe slia|ie of courage,
enthusiasm, faith in himself and
the world. He was honest, manly
-and pntiewt, wad could begin lift
at the right end of the ladder.
He was so poor that be had to
walk part way from the college to
bis home, the village ot Sharon.
The first man he met at the end
of his tiresome journey was old
Enoch Lampson, a man that had
known George from the day of h : s
birth.
•How dc do, George, how de do?
Home again, eh? was the man’s
greeting.
•Yes. sir,’ replied George; 'honic

DR. LESLIE’S
Special Prescription. This Remedy stands to day without a rival,
wad wutli scarcely a competitor in the world. Thousands of Pliyst
rians throughout the country have acknowledged their inability to
cure it., and are now prescribing Dr. Leslie' Sjieeial Prescription for
•II cases of Sick
HEADACHE
in either its nervous, bilious or congestive form, arising from oh

Leslie's
SPECIAL

mean just what I say. and that, is, that It not merely relieves but
POSITIVELY
cure*, no matter how long theease may have been standing. I have

George felt disposed to resent
this; but he did not.
‘Ye don't calclale on settlin'

tinued old Enoch.
•Yes, sir, I do.*
*Wal, now, I dono— 1 dono'boul

•Why shouldn't 1 begin here?'
asked the young man. ‘I hear
'hat old Dr. Kdiuonds has died
lately, and that no one has yet
come to take his place. Win
should I not do so? I am young—'
‘That's hit. George! that's hit!'
interrupted old Enoch; ‘ycr loo
young; that's jist wliar the shoe

The old man scratched his head
in evident confusion. He lo ked

But there were many days and
weeks and months after that when
poor George's courage and confi
dence almost failed him.
Old Enoch had truthfully sai<’:
‘Dr. George will hare a hard
row to dig.' He ha<l, indeed.
The name of Hixson was in had
repute in anil around Sharon.
The people were prejudiced
against the poor young fellow, al
though they could not bat admit
that his own character waa above
reproach. They had known him
from his baby days up,' nod it did
not ‘seem natural' to call him
'Doctor' Hixson. And lie was so
iwoud of that ban! earned title.
Those who used it at all called
him ‘Dr. George;' that took away
half tbe dignity for him; and was
a familiar ity lie resented in secret,
although lie dared not do so open
Ir. Olliers called him ‘Dim-.’ and
that was simply galling to the
■ gh strung young man. He was
daily cut by corert or ojien sneers.
Even children ridiculed him and

•I do want that,’ was the young
man's earnest reply, ‘and its
strange if the Christian people of
this town refuse to give me help
and encouragement. My own
record here is clear; I am not
ashamed to have it read. Of

were young once, and I must have

‘Now, I hare studied faithfully,
carefully, even prayerfully, for
four long years. I have spent
every dollar I had, educating my

vation I have had to suffer for
this,'and he held up his diplogia

lie should be well dressed. A
shabby man can never assume a
very dignified appearance. His
office should be neat and inviting.
It augura ill f<u- tbe amount of a
■nan's practice if his office is as
shabby as |mor Dr. George's was.
If the young fellow could only
have a chance. But there were
the people sending 10 miles to
K , a neighboring town, for
Dr. Graves, who could ride over
in his carriage and count their
pulse beats by a magnificent gold
watch. His clothes were of the
best and tailor-made, and he hail
graduated from the same college
from which Dr. George's diplo
ma had come.
His father had left him a mod
erate fortune, and he could liegin
his career in a manner becoming
aph ysician.
And then George had to sit in
his dreary office, in bis frayed and
patched garments, waiting for the
patients that would not come,
while Dr. Grares went driving by-
day after day.
Every few days the disturbed
and dejected young doctor heard
rumors of a rival coming to Sha
ron, and the village paper openly
published in its columns that
‘An experienced and competent
physician will do well to locate in
Sharon.’
After that Dr. George thought
he would really have to seek a
•new field of labor, and in deeiiesl
des|M>ndeoi-y be teared that be had
relied too much on tbe promise
that had so long encouraged and
consoled him.
But he read another promise,
solemn anil sweet to his troubled
heart:
‘I will not fail thee, nor forsake
thee.’
‘It will a'.l come right in tlie
end,’ be said; but the end seemed
far away.
He would lie only ‘ohl Joe Hix
son's eon.' to these people all the
ilaya of hia life. There waa no
end to that shame and sorrow.
The sins of adrnakra father were
visited a poo the bead of a son who
waa deserving of the world's honor
and esteem. ,110418(1 risen almve
them into tbe beauty had glory
tf a pare and noble manhood.
Through shame and sorrow,
discouragement and |xiverty, lu-
had straggled ap to a higher and
a better life, and yet tbe good peo
pie of SUarow daily made him look
backward to tbe life he had left.
And co friendly hand was stretch
ed forth to kelp him onward.
‘It ia really surprising to see
tbe assnranee *nhl Joe Hixson's
s»n'displays,’said Mrs. Col. Gid-
diogs, the wealthiest woman in
#baron, ‘with bis antecedents to
sot h)ms*U hern-for wnr pbyai
eiww.’
How many of ns can look
back through the ages to ances
tors in whom there was no guilt,
and for whom we need not blush?
During six months Dr. George
had but two patients; one of them
was a hoy who lucl cut his finger
badly, and the other waa a child
with the colic. He had not, how
ever, wasted bis tune. He bad
studied and learned much.
He was a bright, observing
young fellow, and no one in Sha
ron would ever have guested that
the bright letters and sketches
they read in certain eastern pa
|iera were written l>y ‘old Joe
Hixson's son.* He had signed
‘Alexis' to all be bad written, and
had bet-n able to meet bis small
expenses with the money he bad
received for his work.
But he bad not spent fbnr years
studying medicine to finally be
come a newspaper reporter.
At last lie made up bit mind
to go ont West. Hope bad died
out in bis heart. Tbe people of
Sharon were determined to ignore
him. He could not succeed there.
But there was that young man's
Meeea—the boundless West.
Perhaps the fates would lie less
cruel to him there. He need not
be ‘ol 1 Joe Hixson's son* among
strangers. But there were those
ptecious promises.
‘They will lie fulfilled yet, in the
Lord's own time and plan*,’ he
said, cheerfully. He probably
m.-ans that I shall go away from
here to something heller than I
have dared hope for.’
Soon he made ready to go. The
home of his ehildhood was dear
lo him, and lie was fond of fami
liar faces, even it they were not
always kindly. He bad always
fell timid alxml going among to
lal strangers. But his poor little
trunk was packed, and lie had
gone around saying good liy to
the few friends who eared to say-
good by to him. He intended
going on Tuesday.
On Monday afternoon a little
towheaded boy met him on the
street.
‘Say, you, Dr. George.’ lie said
‘my ma wants you to come up to
our house and sec if there’s any
thing the matter of our Tommy;
cause is ma wants to send for
Dr. Graves.’
The insulting message made the
blood fuiily tingle in the young
doctor's veins. But the next
moment he laughed.
•Oh! well, don't matter,’ lie
said;‘I'll go. It will help me to
say truthfully that I've had some
practice.’
Tommy was the very urchin
who hand sung the hateful dog
gerel before Dr. George's office.
The young physician examined
the boy carefully; tben he said:
•Well, Tommy, my Imy, it will
take something more than grease
■>n your heels and tar on your
nose to make you well; you have
the small|M>x.’
‘I don't believe it,’ said Tom
my’s mother, sharply, ‘1 don't be
lieve you know smallpox from
measles! I'll send for Dr. Graves
right off.’
•Very well, madsme,' said Dr.
George, politely bowing himself
out
But lata that evening Tom's
mother came crying to Dr.
George.
•Dr. Grares wouldn't come’
she said; ‘lie waa going to but
when he heard it looked Kke small
pox with Tommy he iaid he
wasn't well, and just seat some
medicine that ain't,
bit ot good. If yon
come up, eirf
It was tbe first time he bad
lieen addressed as 'sir' for many a
day.
‘Of course I will ga£ be said.
That waa tbe begianiag of Dr.
George's prnotics it Sharon.
Whithin 10 day* there jrere 14
eases of smallpox. The annals
of tbe little town contain a record
of bow it eras scourged by that
fearful disease. Before tbe sod
there were one or more
cases in nearly every house. The
means taken to prevent the spread

luaL At Inal the town was quar
antined.
When Dr. Graves was sent for
a second time it was discovered
that be bad lieen suddenly called
away *on business.' lie stayed all
winter.
Dr. George wont back to bis
empty office after seeing Tommy
a second lime. He unpacked his
iiule trank, lighted a can-lie and
began to read a certain medical
work. He read until 1, 2,3 o'clock,
until the daan of day—that found
him on hia bended knees, prayer
tub and even tearful. He felt
that there had been given him
work to do—that a change was
coming in iiis life. He opened
his well worn little Bildeand read:
‘I will not fail thee nor forsake
thee.’ and again he read: ‘lk-
strong, and again I say, he strong.'
And he was strong.
‘His strength was the strength of ten,
Because his licait was pure.’
He lieeame a tower of strength
to those stricken pentde. He «ras
doctor, nurse, consoler—more than
he thought lie ever should tie to
suffering creatures.
His success wit h l ummy was
assured within a few days, -and
others came eagerly after him.—
His skill in baffling the disease
was wonderful. Had lie not the
Heavenly help? There were few
deaths, and many people came

went up the creek about a mile,
and seated myself on a rock tnf

opposite bank, were the remains
of three or four cabins.^ Some of
these bad almost tumbled into the
creek from the wearing away of
the ground on that side. I ob

gold in retorting it—burning out'

down the bank I came to the ohl

the creek. It landed leg down

golden shower 'of nuggets and
