Broke And Unemployed

"Where is the nearest doctor?" os'iied a fine looking and well dressed young man of Nigtot Clerk Starkweather, of tihe (Eïawkm"s house Fri. night. He was dïrecteil to Dr. Huil, wbo only lived about a bloek and a half from the hotel. The fellow went out and carne back in a few minutes, seemingly more excited. "The doctor is not at home. Can't yon get me a doctor here quickly? I am very sick and must have one right away," said he. Dr. Owen was called up by telephone and he quickly responded. Upon coming to the hotel, Dr. Owen went to the young nran's room and asked him what the trouble was. "I have taken morphine and I don't want to die," said he. "How much .have yon taken?" "Nineteen pills." "How much did tliey weigh?" "An eight'h of a grain apiece." Dr. Owen looked at the fellows ;ye and saw that the pupil was contracted to a considerable ex'cent. The physi-cian argued as he quie ly went to work that the morphine pills being in pill forni were coated with gelatine and itf 'he coulcl get the inan to get a divorce froun thein he could save the would-be suieide's life bef-jre the gelatine had dissolved to any grea t exteixt. He gave the fellow a stroug emetic and the decree of divorce was soon granted. As the doctor watched the progress of the Work the young r.ian told his story: -'My name is il. B. Hauze. I live at Sioux City, Iowa. I had a good position once aud while doing my dutles had flattering offers from other finns. My father was taken siek and I threw up n;y position to go and take care of ii'uu and my mother. He tiaally dled and again I sought employment in my old busiuess but somebody was installed there and I could not resume my old position. 1 sought elsewhere tuit no places seemed to be vacant for me. I caane here with only 15 cents in ïuy pocket and thinking -What's the use of living longer,' I took tibe poison. As soon as I had swallowed it, I rcpented. Life was just as sweet as ever and I want to live. If you can save mo. do so. If you eannot, I mus-t take the eonsequences." Aifter a thoroujrh vomitiing, Dr. Owen ordered the man to be taken iut on a brisk walk until midniglit. The orders were obeyed and Hanze was allowed to go to bed abut 12 o'elock last night. In the morning he called uion Dr. Owen and was even more sorry for what he had attempted than he was last ni.ht. He was tnoruughly despondent at his ill-success in secnring employment, but pympathiziug persons made up a purse so he couM get to Detroit. He said he was willing to do anythlng honorable íor a livt-lihood and asserted t'hat he would never rush into the presence of His linker unealled for. Before Hanze left he said his father was a Baptist minister.
