WHIPPED THE DOCTOR, A Meek and Lowly Bill Collector's Method of Resenting an Insult. A Y. M. C. A. bill collector is a bad man to go sgainst when he is riled, as u certain doctor who hasan ofiice in the Sheely block has found out to his intense surprise and sorrow. Messrs, Kelloy, Stiger & Co. have a col- lector of the above description. He is an exceedingly sanctimonious younj man with features of a pray ast, and aqu aty phere of Christian devotion com letely envelopes him like a mort, fari, His diminutive form, coupled with his un- obstrusive demeanor,have frequently elicited comment from his fellow employes, not one of whom believed thatthe collector would interpose more thun & polite remon- strance if a gallinipper was making a mid- night meal from him, “Tho latest experience of the collector dem- onstrates couclusively, howoyer, that his re- ligion is of a more muscular kind, and that under certain provocations the space dividing the pulpit and the prize.ring is nar- rowed to the width of a doctor's doorway, It came about in this mann: The collee- tor had a bill aguinst the doctor and he sought the man of pills in his aforesaid ofice in the Sheely block, The doctor didn't want to pay the bill, and neither did he propose to argue the case with the collector. When the latter declined with thanks an in- vitation to leave, the doctor arose and put hiwm out of the door. The Christian forbear- ance of the collector was not, ruffied by such usage and he offered no resistance until the e on a Kansas doctor applied to him an_ cpithet that momentarily shook his faith in the auth of his fumily genealogy. After cousidering the mutter very brielly the colloctor conciuded that this' was the proper place to draw the line, and carefully but firmly seizing the doctor Uy the collar of his coat and bosom of his pants, he proceeded to put a laundry polish on the floor with him. The collector” did his work very de- liberately and thoroughly, and final iting the doctor in one corne sat down im, and, with bis hands firmly clasped around the throat of his vietim, was hypuotizing him at o rapid rate when the janitor stepped in and caused u cessation of hostilities. The collector stopped to adjust his cuffs, and then informing the doctor that he would call at10 o'clock the next morning, bowed him- self out of the door, Ube doctor has expressed no inteution of prosecuting the case.

First of all our government itself —our form of government —has been a potent agency in influencing the political society of foreign countries. Our democratic republic was, from the first, contagious. The achievement of independence gave an examplo to Burope and the world of civil liberty, It wasin the nature of a suceesstul procedent.

The sume thing may be said re sting the use which other nations bave made of Amer- ican philanthropicand charituble ibstititions, such as those for the protection and cduca: tion of the blind and the deaf and dumb, and for the care of the insane. In Kurope nearly all institutions for the benefit of these un for- tunato classes, and even institutions for the poor, have been the product either of religious devotion or of private philanthropy.
