Y. W'eekly. RDINARILY th e fall term of school in the Brown dis- trier, would have closed before the holidays, but this year there had an invasion of measles right in the le of the term, necessitating a va- u of two weeks, and Director Hath- had insisted that the teacher take up the lost time, much to the dis- ust ~f the 5"ounger children, who had arts been deprivers or th -h holidny ree4om. :But the teacher had not been in the ~ast incommoded by this prolongation the term. Iterbert Allen had en- ~yed his first term in aeountry school '0r some reason, which he bad never topped to anaylze, there had been a eeuliar fascination about his work, al- tough it had been in a sphere of life ~d amidst environments so di~erent ~om what he had dreamed of a y~hr be- ~re. And yet he had unwittingly in- erred the displeasure "of the school aard and bad been recently informed ~at his services would not be needed lager. And now, on the last afternoon of De- ,tuber, the term was over. The school ~d closed with "exercises" and the 'hole community had turned out to ear them. The boys had stammered lrough thcir"pieees "the girls "essa ~s.'y ,' und the little ones their ad gone through their songs and "mo- exercises" to their own great sattB- ion and the infinite delight of their '~miring parents. Director Hathaway ad Elder Sloane, at the teacher's in- tation, had talked edifyingly on the ant ~ges (ff an eddicaiion" and tbe )er training of the young," and the :acher had spoken a few words of Lodest farewell. At last all was over, the last scholar ~d said good-by to the teacher and ~ne. The young master seated him- !if at his table and sighed deeply as he ~ked around the now quiet room, es- ~cially as his eyes rested upon the seat ' Helen Hathaway, the charming ~ung daughter of the director.

It would have been even easier to un- !rstand his fondness for the spot if le could have seen the sweet face of elan Hathaway and noted the deep in- which she evinced in her algebra the readinesswhich the teacher displayed to help her in pursuit of knowledge.

So ii, came about during the last, week of the term thut Mr. Allen had been given formal notice that his services would not bc needed any longer, lie had bven greatly surprised and morti- fied at lh,is announcement, and his pu- pils had shown their disapproval of the board's arbitrary action in a way that threatened open revolt--all but John Warren, who could hardly repr*'ss his exultation at the turn affairs hml taken. One year before this incident lferbert Allen h,nd been the favored son of a rich merchant in an eastern city. Ills mother had long been in lhe grave and IIerberL had spent most of his boyhood days i~x a famous preparatory school. Just as hc was ready to enter college, financial disaster came upon his father, resulting in his ruin and subsequent death. This sudden blow of fatc left Iterbert dependent upon his own re- sources. Young and resolute ill char- acter, he made bis way to the west and finally found the congenial work in the country school which he had pursued so happily until a cruel fate had again thrown him npon a selfish world without the means of employment. Finally the young ex-teachcr, as he now felt himself to be, was nroused~ from his reverie by a rap at the door, and before he could collect his wan- dering thoughts a curly-pated lad breathless from running, stumbled in- to the room with a letter in his hand. "Say, teacher," said the boy, "I was down to the 'corners' to get Dad's mail and Mr. Jones wa.nted me to fetch this had ~carly complsted hls fask whe~' heavy footsleps and deep-toned voices in the hallway attracted his attention and in walked l)ircctor llatbaway, Moderator Stevens and Assessor Sim- nlons.

As I've been sayin' to Mr. Stevens and Mr. Simmonm perhaps we was a little hasty in our course. The teacher has taught ns a good school, there ain't no gittin' around it, ~,nd l guess we've been a little prejudieed. I know my llelen never took so much interest in her stndies before. Then another thing that has convinced ns that we ougq~t to reconsider our action was the solemn way i~t which the scholars felt 'bout your leavin'.

So. Mr. Teach- er, we 1]~tv.~ thought best to yield to all this preSsUre and ask you to stay. What is more, we've decided to raise your wages to $30 a month." 1)uring lifts long speech the~plrits of the yonng man again rose to an exult- ant pitch, but he replied in a calm and dignified tone, which the gathering darkness helped him to assume: "Gentlenten, it is indeed gratifying to me that you have thus vindicated me from the suspicion of failure in my work. Bat whether I can accept your offer at this late day is a qnestion which i cannot decide without some reflection. The generosity of 3"our offer to raise my wages is appreciated, though I shall decline to accept the increase. I will carefully consider your kind offer and leavc my decision with Director Itath- away to-morrow morning."

"Thank you, Charlfe; my corre- spondence is so limited I had forgotten there was such a thing as a post office," and he took the business-like envelope in his hand and wonderingly tore it open. It read as follows: New York, Oct. ~, l$95.--Office of J. W. Penntman, Attorney and Counselor at Law. --Mr. H. W. Allen, Oakville Corners, Mich.

He reread it more carefully, and aa its full import dawned upon him exultation took the place of despondency in his bre'ast, tie picked up the draft with a feeling of elation.

Ylls preparatory education was at the Ham- llton school. Ite was graduated from Rush medical college in 18(;9. Following thts he took a course under the private tulorshlo of John Grant, of Edinburgh, and Harry Larroque, of Sorbonne. Or~ returning to the lrnlted States he became a surgeon in the regular army. In 1889 Dr. Hamtlton went to Chicago. tfo became editor of the teadlng medtcal Journal and was made professer of the principles of surgery at t~ush med- ical college. He had been ~eePetary of the Illinois State Medteal society for ~ number of years. At one time he was chief of th~ I;nitod States marine hospital ~taff. In 1~'79 he was supervising surgeon general, and it was largely under his direction that the medical corp~ of the army and navy was reorganized Ite was professor of sur- gery at the University of Georgetown, and that Institution conferred upon him the degree of doctor of laws. PIo wss also a surgeon at Providence hospital. Soon after the present state administration was tn- stalled Dr. Hamilton became superintend- ent of the northern Illinois hospital for the lhsane.

PAth, 1S9K Our little boy was afflicted with hip dis- ease, or bone ulcer, when hc was about three years old. He suffered severely for a year and nine months. We had seven different doctors ~)r him, but they could not cure him. They took out one piece of bone about 3~ inches long the shape of a shoe, and ono smaller piece. The hole in his hip was about 3 inches deeib, and the sore kept running all the time. The doc- tars ordered us to keep the hole filled, with cotton, saturated with some kind of medi- cine. This we did, and used a probe to in- serf thc cotton. We could introduce the probe about 3~ inches,: and found by mov- ing the probe about t~mt there was a large cavity next to the bone, and we could feel the bone with the probe. The child was very pale, thin and weak and could not slee'p, and we had no ltope of his recovery, i '~im treatment we gave him under th~ doc- {brs' directions did him no good. We final- ly commenced using Allen's U]cerlne Salve and it soundly and permanently cured him in about six months. He has been well about tour years and is strong and quite fleshy, but limps a little on account of one leg l~elng a little shorter than the other.
