An observing physician of New York
who has recently traveled about tho

Something scarcely endurable in tho

tho scene of his sanguinary activities:
that his presence In it neighborhood is
evidence of local negligence and Indlf-

Advice, It is said, Is cheap. But It'
sometimes Is dear when accepted In
cases of sickness. This docs not refer
to the advice of physicians, which, of.
course, Is dear, but to tho advice of
well-meaning nnd sincerely sympa
thetic friends, which often Is far dear-'
er still. All know how prone peoplo,

what they did and how they obtained

to reason that theso good people under-i

X A MASTER OF DESTINY.
A young man, evidently from tho
country, Bat patiently at a table ln
a down-town restaurant for many min
utes, says the Chicago Nows. The
waitroJses, busy with customers who
looked more fruitful for tips, passed
scornfully by. At last ho rose, and
walking to tho cashier's desk, calmly
took a poslUon near it, and thereby
blocked the line of entrance.
"Miss," he said, "I've been sotting
at that table for half nn hour, an' I
can't get waited on. Tho young ladles
that's waiting on tnblo don't seem to
notice mo."
"Stand aside, please," said tho
cashier, sharply. "You're right ln tho
wny."
The young man did not move. "I've
been setting at that table half an
hour, an' I can't get waited on," he
repeated, calmly. "Maybe If you spoko
llko that to the young ladles that's
waiting on table they'd take my or
der." "Will you please stand to ono side
nnd lot tho customers through?"
"Will you speak to ono of them
young ladles that's waiting on table
an ask hoi to git me something to
eat?"
The cashier beckoned to tho pro
prietor, who camo bustling up. "Move
out of the wny here, pleasel" ho said,
peremptorily. "Let Uiese ladies and
gentlemen through!"
"I reckon it don't matter whether
they get through or not," said tho
young man, easily. "They won't got
anything to eat unless thoy havo bet
tor luck than I've had. I've been sot
ting over at that table for half an
hour, an' I ain't been waited on yet"
"Give tho man something to eat!"
called ono of tho men in tho waiting
line.
"Throw him a pie!" shouted an
other. Tho young man smiled broadly at
these suggestions, and then turned to
tho proprietor.
"Maybe you'll speak to ono of them
young ladles that's waiting on table
an' nsk her to tako my order," ho
said.
Tho proprietor eyed his muscular
proportions ln nn undecided way for
an instant, and then weakened.
"If you'll sit down I'll seo that you
aro waited on right away," ho said.
The young man walked over to his
table. -'If I'm not feeding insldo of
live minutes I'll be back to llnd out
what's tho trouble," ho remarked,
genially.
Hut four minutes later, witii his nap
kin tucked under his chin and his
elbows squared, ho was attacking a
largo plato of corned beef hash.

"Do him up now, mil," suggested
ono of tho group.
"1 don't want to have no truck with

"Don't say nothln' to him."

DOWN THt MESA TO SCHOOL
Curious Sight Presented by Child rcl
of Mount Indian Tribe.
If we stood about 7 o'clock In tin
morning near the foot of the Oralbl
mem ln Arizona we should seo a mosl
Interesting sight.
The lint-topped elevations calico
mesas aro very common features, of
the arid plains of Arizona. Somo ol
them have for ages been the homes oi
Indlnn tribes whose enemies could not
easily reach tho tops of these big"
rocks, nnd so those who lived on them
wero comparatively safe. f
This particular mesa Is the homo .offy
the Oralbl branch of the Moqul trlbo.
Perched high in the air on their llttlo
plateau, tho elders still practice tho
snako dance and other famous rites
of their fathers.
Only a few years ago they wero
called hostile because thoy opposed
more strenuously than tho othet
Moquis the Introduction of whu in
lluenccs among them. When it was
proposed to erect a school houso near
tho base of tho mesa, and to place
till the children In tho school, tho
parents stubbornly refused to penult
It. Thoy yielded finally, however, to
Jinn pressure, and every child ol
school age was placed In the school.
Tho enterprise has been a great suc
cess, and whoever stands near tho
school at 7 o'clock in tho morning and
looks up at the plateau 500 feet above
him suddenly sees children begin to
spill over the edge of the mesa. Ono
jL'hlld conies Into view behind another,
and soon the face of the great rock la
alive with them as they descend tho
steep, zigzag path lending to the bob
torn of the mesa and tho school.
Tho sight interests visitors because
It is so unusual. The little folk seem
o bo hanging to tho wall of tho
nighty rock as they slowly descend
Its face.
They keep pouring over tho edge
and the head of tho lino has reached
the school on the plain below beforo
the last of it leaves the top of the
liiesa. Whon the straggling lino comes
fully Into view it is seen to be nearly
half a mile long, and Its convolutions
on the path bear somo resemblance
lo the movements of a snako.
There aro 175 children in this school,
and in attendance it is said to head tho
list of Indian day schools in the coun
try. A fine new building costing over
i.OOO has taken the place of the first
Kchool. The children are very glad
to bo In school, and It Is said that after
