It was an awful eight. But ihe old doctor got too old and fat to practice and sent to New York for FASHION NOTES. The black and white craze Is still on. Continental Is the name given one of the most popular hat shapes of the season. his nephew. Dr. Philo D. Wildman, a The,new Puritan stock collar, with I don’t know whether I can write a letter or not. I will try. The effort will keep me from thinking about my self. For a month I have be n playl g “Billy In the low giounds,” but l had a good doctor who hhs nursed me night and day and cheered mo up and comforted me end I am on the up grade, though as the Georgia crackers say “I am powerful weak.’.’ ; This doc* tor Is my eon and he says, he has not forgotten how his mother and I nursed him for three long months in Florida and saved his life ana now I shat * not die If he -can help it. I take ail his medicine, quinine, strychnine, calomel, spirits of nitre, capsules -without num ber, and tonics, too, and It I get well I will never know what cured me, but he will. What woulc, the world do without -doctors? King Edward and I would have died last week. About twenty years ago I had a spell like this one, for I had been working . In the water all day tryl- g to dam up the branch In the meadow «o that the children could go in bathing, That night 1 liked to have died, and old Dr. Kirk was sent for and worked on me for three-or four days and got me up again. My wife told me then that It 1 didn’t be more careful' of myself I wouldn’t live out half my days. She told me the came thing the other day, and she knows . Old Dr. Kirk is a. trump. He was our family uoctor un til, he got old and tiled and moved away to live with his children. Be fore he moved to this place from South Carolina he had a love scrape over there, and be had a rival, too, .and they fell out. The girl wouldn't Lave either .one of them and the other fellow heard that the doctor had told stories on him to the girl and so after the doctor lo cated here his rival wrote to him and ' demanded a retrofit, -or else ;a fight. The doctor wrote him a stinger and re fused to make a retraxit, but would ac cept his Challenge and fight him until Hades froze over, and as the fighting code gave the challenged party choice of weapons and time and place and dis tance be should Choose rifles at long range and the next 29th day of Febru ary as the time and the other, fellow must stay Where "he was and Shoot over this way and he (the doctor) would stay here-and shoot over that way and both must aim high so as not to hit anybody between them. But I must stop now and take . bfeath. A good long breath is what I want. The old woman was asked what disease her husband died of and she said the doctors differed about it, but she always believed he died for lack of breath. I don’t want to go that way. I was ruminating about these physi cians, fof doctor is not the proper name. Doctor means a teacher of any thing, whether it be science or art or law or pharmacy or theology. -Physi cian- Is the right word. It Is a very an- ''dent name for the professor. The Bible tells how Joseph got the physi cians to embalm his old father? hut 1 do not think It was a very popular pro fession among the Jews, for It Is men tioned only two or three times nnd with doubtful favor. King Asa had a disease In his feet and wonld not catl upon the Lord for relief, hut sent for a physician, and he died and slept with his fathers. Then there was a woman who had an Issue of blood for twelve years and had suffered much from many physicians and spent all she had and was nothing better, but rather grew worse. The JeWs unto this day do not give mnch patronage to physi cians or'quack medicines. I never knew bnt one Jew doctor, though there are a few very eminent ones In the large cities, for whatever a learned Jew does he does welt. There ts a doc tor Jacobi in New York city who stands at the head of the- profession nnd Is consulted by the rich and great men of the nation. Now, let me stop for another good, long .breath. When I wain n boy we . didn't have but one doctor in the town, and he weighed 300 pounds and was never in a hurry. He left little babies around ever and anon and when one came to our bouse the old cook told us where he got thorn and she ilylr point- . ed to his corporosity. He had a little office on the street and a few shelves with bottles on them containing chlo- student of Valentine Mott,' the gtesrt New York'physician and surgeon. He was as smart as his tutor and went to cutting and slashing our people Just like killing hogs. He straightened cross eyes and sewed up hare Ups and cut stones out of bladders. The ago nizing screams of noor little Jqhn Thompson, my schoolmate, still haunt me, for he was simply dying of stone In the bladder and the doctor cut it out It was as large as a pigeon egg, and the little boy got well. My broth er and Jim Craig studied under Wild- man. and when they wanted a stiff they would go out to the Redland grave yard In the night and dig up a fresh burled corpse and haul It to a little room hack of their office' and cut it up and-boll it down and make skeleton of the bones. I went with them one night and helned them to dig up a negro, but somebody rocked us as we were, taking It out and we had to run for our lives, for they threatened to shoot. That satisfied me with the business and 1 never went again. But our little town wasn’thlg enough for Wildman and so he moved to Co lumbus and made a great reputation. About that time the yellow fever vis ited Savannah, and Wildman believed he could stamp it out and that he was Immune, but he wasn't. He took the fever right away and died. It is a cu rious coincidence that three doctors from our town went to Savannah to fight the fever and every one of them etole ends is a great' favorite, r y%gpt| combinations In vgrydell* cato effects prevail in veilings.

Grapes and cherries are among the smartest hat trimmings of the hour. Decidedly the elbow sleeve Is the predominating one for summer, both for high and open-neck gowns. Row after row of machine stitch ing Is omitted from the silk bands used for trimming this spring; just one row top and bottom is preferred. Flowers made from ribbon are novelties of the millinery work that are unique and quite attractive. Summer gowns of wash blonde are among the very newest and most swagger kinds exhibited for exclusive women. These are exceedingly at tractive besides being very novel. They are in artistic colored printed designs of delicate bouquets after the Pompadour fashion. PELVIC: CATARRH . , PAUSES* f.

Let ms rest a while, for I am weak and nervous, and, as Byron said— "My visions fit less palpably before me.” I have Just enjoyed a good, long let : ter from my old school mate, Nathan Crawford, of Llncolnton. He Is the honored school commissioner of the county and will die In harness, I reck on. He is ln his eightieth year, but we were classmates, for he was one of those sure and slow boys, while I was precocious and uncertain. Only three of us left now, for Tom Alexander Is living at Rome. Nathan writes a good, old-fashioned, cheerful letter, and says thht he never stole Frank Alex ander's watermelons, and hints that It was Overton Young and a boy of my name. The only reason that be didn’t steal them was that he boarded with Mr. Alexander and got plenty without stealing. It Is too late now for him to assume a saintly morality, for Tom and 1 still live to testify. But It was a good letter and the memory of Nat Crawford is always comforting and re freshing.

Which ln some places are five feet apart The road is now complete and in operation, und British and American engineers are .watching it with the greatest Interest to see how long It will last, confident in their own minds that very soon there: must be t col lapse. If the railroad Is running in good order at the end of several years It may lead to the reversal of some pres ent Ideas ln railroad construction. American engineers have held that heavy rails are a necessity at any cost, particularly on roads operated by electric power,, and British engi neers have supported this view, both ln argument and in practice. “It might be possible to operate such a road, with vfcry light rolling stock moving at low speed,” says the Engineering News, “but this road Is to carry electric motor cars weigh ing twenty tons and three-car trains are to run at ‘speeds of thirty miles an hour at intervals of two and one- halt to flVe minutes. It this track maintains Its line and surface under electric motor-car traffic, there must be something In German conditions very different from those which ob tain In the Halted States.” •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Mrs. X. Schneider, 2409 ' Place, Chicago, 111., writes: •• After taking several remediesi without result, I began In January.' 1901, to take your valuable remedy, Peruna. I was a complete wreck.
