HE MADE ANOTHER RICH. SEARCHING THE ROOM WHILE THE DOCTORS DISAGREED. How a Wide Awake Merchant Decided a Knotty Medicnl Ulnpute and Made His Friend's Fortune—City Tricka That Were I)Helens in a Small Town. "I have tuiwle one fortune in niv time," said an old merchant the other day, "and" "Spent it," Broke in the writer. "Didn't have that pleasure." "Lost it?" "No, sir; the fortune I made Was that of another man." "How was that?" asked the writer. "After I left college," replied the first speaker, "I knocked about the country, here and there, for a few years, before I settled down in this city. In the course of my wanderings 1 met an old school friend who had gone to a medical col lege and was then just starting to build up a practice in a small country town. When I ran across him lie was in a dreadful fit of the blues, and I said to him, after first greetings had been ex changed: 'Why,old man, you're not like your former self at all. You haven't been practicing long enough to have killed anybody yet, have you?' " 'No, no! my boy,' he answered, 'not that, liut, if I may confide in you with safety, as 1 think I can, I will tell you my difficulties. I'm madly in love with the most beautiful girl in all the world and she loves me, but all her people are opposed to our marriage, because the old man is wealthy and I am poor. They want her to marry a rich suitor who is after her, and 1 feel like a brute in ask ing her to wait for me till I am able to support Iter, while that prospect seems so distant. I've been in this town for six months now and not a single patient have 1 secured.' THE OLD TRICKS NO GOOD. " 'How many rivals have vou got here?' I inquired. " 'Only one,' lie answered, 'old Dr. Scroggs, but he has been here for forty years or more all by himself. He re sents my intrusion as a personal insult., and so do his patients, I think There seems to be a prejudice against young doctors, anyway, and I atn heartily dis couraged.' " 'Why don't you try someof the time honored old tricks of the trade?' I said. "You know them as well as I do. Have a txiv rush into church and whisper in your ear where you sit, well up toward the front. Then grab your hat and make OH much noise as you can going out. Get up half a dozen prescriptions and have the bottles directed to Mrs. Smith, Mr. Brown, etc., and then see that they are delivered to the wrong houses. Send for them again, explaining that in the rush of business these little mistakes will sometimes happen. There are a dozen such little dodges that' " 'No use. uiv dear boy,' he answered, with a sigh. 'All those pretty games are N. G. in a small town. If Mrs. Smith has a toothache nearly everybody else here knows it or will hear of it some day. The tricks would all be discovered here to a dead certainty, and 1 would be worse olf than ever. They are till right enough in a big city, but' " 'What's that," I exclaimed, a a ter rific banging was heard at theouterdoor. Charley, my friend, went to the door, and a girl's voice came out of the dark ness. saying, 'Come down to the hotel, doctor, there's a traveler there took down with a fit or somethin' and he's like to die.' THE BOTTLE DID IT. "Charley grabbed a ease of instru ments. and we both started for the hotel on a run. Vv'e got there a few minutes before old Scroggs, for whom the girl who told us had also gone. Before Scroggs got up to the traveler's room Charley had diagnosed the case to his own satisfaction, ami was looking very wise indeed. Scrugv ; seized the insensible pa tient by the wrist, listened to his heart beats, and before Charley had said a word, rapped out: " 'Case of apoplexy, bring some' "But Charley was not to be ignored in this way. 'lts a plain case of ep'— he began, hut just then I pulled him to one side and whispered in his ear. " 'I was about to remark, Dr. Scroggs, resumed Charley, with considerable dig nity, 'that the case is undoubtedly one of morphine poisoning." " 'Nonsense, young man,' said old Scroggs rudely, '1 say it's apoplexy.' " 'A stomach pump will soon prove who's right,' said Charley, as lie unlock ed his case and produced one. "The littlo crowd of hotel employes and villagers who had crowded into the room, a big one, seemed rather amused by the arguments of the doctors, and as the patient was a stranger to all, the ap plication of a stomach pump, if only to settle the controversy, met with general approval. "Well, to make a long story short, morphine it was sure enough. This dis comfiture of old Scroggs spread abroad. Charley soon built up a practice, mar ried his heiress and lived happily ever afterward." "And how did you discover it was mor phine just in time to prevent your young friend from declaring in favor of epi lepsy?" asked the writer. "That's just what Charley asked me when it was all over," replied the nar rator. "The fact is, while Charley and old Scraggs were engaged in looking wise over the patient, and guessing at his malady, I was looking about the room. There in a corner behind a foot stove I spied a bottle. Picking it up I saw that it was labeled 'morphine, poi son,' and that it had been recently emp tied, as the outside of it was still moist. That was enough for me, and I had just time to hiss in Charley's ear 'morphine' before he committed himself."—New York Tribune, Hereditary. "Where does Witticus get his humor?" "He inherits his old jokes from his father, and his baby jokes from his lit tle boy."—Harper's Bazar. TRtASiiBER'S SALE OF SEATEO AND UNSEATED LANDS AND LOTS IN CAMBRIA COUKTY A. D 1890. J THOMAS E.
