DAVID'S HOUR
By JACK LAWTON.
David sat before the fireplace Iu the
cozy room anil looked earnestly at his
old friend, The room was lined with
books; ami a desk stood In the center;
half curtains were ut the window,
where ruffled curt tins had been, and
a doctor's si 1:11 «itli stilt lettering hung
above: David had done his best to
turn his mother's sitting room into a
doctor's consulting office. The old
friend looked back at DavIJ, and sym
pathy was iu his gaze.
"It's tough." he Slid, "after all the
years you've planned for this, boy, to
have It fall through. Your mother
and me used to sit and talk of the
time when you'd come back from col
lege and have the whole town calling
you for their sick. You'd a made a
good doctor, too; there's no question
about it. Better'n the big one that's
come out of the city. lie's had none
of the struggles you've had to find
his place.
"His dad Is one of the big specialists
In the city. Thought It would be a
good thing to start hh son on Ills own
feet, so he bought him the Galium
place and got him established. We
sure did need a doctor. Old Doc Wells
dropping off sudden, this new one
fell soft Into his pluce. the place that
should have been waiting for you,
David. Kvervone seemed to take to
Doc i'.rereton right off. Maybe It was
his fine ear that impressed 'em, or the
housekeeper In cap and tucker that
opens the door at his house. Anyway.
I'm sure there's nothing for you here
now, son. an." you'd better hunt an
other stand. Kent this house and
start out for another town. We'll
miss you. but I'm telling you just how
things are."
David nodded gravely, "Thanks,"
he replied, "but 1 guess I'll stick;
Doctor Brereton may take ail the reg
ular patients. 1 can see how our fami
lies would welcome a city jfractltloner.
But there must be others who could
use me; the lower town folks per
haps. or those across the bridge."
"I.and alive hoy!" the old man ex
I claimed, "how'd you expect to make
n living nff those folks? Most of 'em's
I on charity now."
"I Hi ways have nmnageu to live some
way," David said slowly.
"You have, David." Dan warmly
agreed. "and against nil odds you've
reached your chosen goal."
Tln> old man paused. "Helen Parson
| rides out a good ileal with Poo Hre
i relon." he said brusquely, "some folks
j think It's going t» l>e a match. Sure
I wouhl suit her father down to the
| ground: you know how Carson Is—no
j one round here ever was good enough
; for his daughter."
I "No one. you mean." David correct
ed. "had money enough. In his opinion,
j to he eligible as 11 husband for his
i daughter."
f "That's It." Dan said, "and the girl
' eares s.i much f-ir her fool father that
! sheM never cross him. Well, good
I night David. I'm sorry you haven't
I 11 better welcome."
I David decided to stlcTc and do what
t he could, lie met Nell nest day. She
i was drivif* with tin- capable and confl
. denr r.rereton. ami after her little eager
I cry. Nell had In a whispered word
j tiske.l to be allowed to speak to him.
j lie was f.ir'miate In meeting the
| girl af'er tlct. d»\vn by the bridge
1 now white with the snows of winter, or
' i-i ttie wood ro»d perhaps, with ever
| greens cm cith r side. And Nell con
! fessed to bim lit!" Hal Hrcreton want
I ed her for bis wife, and that her father
• wanted It too.
"And vim care for him. Nell?" he
managed to nsk.
' The girl regarded Mm quietly.
1 "Certainly nor. David," she said;
' "I shall never marry Hal Rrereton."
; Df.vid's heart sang as he walked
i lii»me alone.
I I'roni despairing. walling hours nt
Idleness. the telephone called him. Hp
I wns wantpd at Hillcrest.
I "I'll come nt once." he responded,
] nnd starred unbelievingly.
i 11111<■ r«• was the new doctor's as
, sured province. The phone called
j nzaln n« David drew on his coat—
th»-h srlll ncain! Ho was to hp very
' busy, he told himself jubilantly. Then
i fame fhe explanation. Old Pun pave
It over the wire.
"The epidemic lins caught Doctor
, Brereton." lie said. "He's a sick man.
j and his patients are all scared- tG
! death because there isn't another doc- i
1 tor within two miles, and not one i
| would .venture out on these roads in
i this blizzard and weather. Oo to It.
I Davy; cure 'em all up, and make your
| reputation."
And that Is exactly what David did.
. Fearlpssly lie attended pvpry sicls
' bed, thankful for the experience which
j had been given him In this dreaded I
• disease. IPs skill was soon recognized j
; —David had arrived. Carson, the 1m
j portant, was thp latest to succumb,
j And he was obliged to cnll David. I
j There was no other way. Doctor j
j Brereton had cone to the city to con- ]
vaiesce.v He had admitted to David |
that he intended to remain there.
"Won't be room for two of us now ,
| in that small burg." he had said. And I
• as David bent over the sick man, to
the great Carson came the realization
of his own helplpssness, and a strange,
new confidence in another's power.
"Xou'll pull me through?" he
begged feebly.
"I will," David forcefully replied.
And he did.
But as he stood there, with Carson's
1 trustful hand clasping his, and with
I Nell's shining eyes upon him—that
was David's hour. . .
WASTED ENERGY OF THE SUN I
Onjy a Minute Fraction of Us Tremen
dous Heat Strikes the Earth and 'J
Becomes Useful.
A digression ou the energy of the
pnst sun may he permitted. All that
the earth has caught. for all-the mil
lions of years that it has existed. Is
the merest fraction of what the suu
has radiated in the same time, accord
ing to a lecture by Sir Oliver Lodge,
reported in the Scientific American.
The earth to the sun is Uke a print
er's full stop at a distance of ten feet
from a halfpenny. Some of the radia
tion from a globe one inch In diameter
falls on the spot one one-hundredth
inch In diameter ten feet away, but
that little speck only catches the hun
dred and fifty millionth part of the
whole. What has become of (lie rest
of the solar energy? It must still be
careering through space. The ether Is
perfectly transparent and only when it
encounters matter will the radiation
be mopped up ami turned Into heat.
Not our sun only,, but all the mil
lions of other suns, have likewise been
always pouring out radiation Into
space. Is there any hope of catching
and utilizing it? I trow not. In spitu
of all tiiis constant Hood of energy
Space is cold; very near absolute zero.
The reservoir is so enormous that all
these taps, running for ages, have
made no impression on it, have not
ruised the level a perceptible amount.
HISTORY REVEALED BY NAMES
By Them It Is Possible to Ascertain
What Races Have Inhabited
Different Districts.
In the earliest days of the human
family, all known persons, places and
groups of human beings must have
had names by which they were recog
nized.
The study of these names and their
survival In civilization enables us of
ten to ascertain what races inhabited
districts now peopled by those of en
tirely different speech.
The names of mountains and rivers
In ninny parts of England, for In
stance. are Celtic.
Ancient lorn! names nro. as a rule,
purely descriptive. A river is culled
by some word which merely signifies
"the water," n mountain may have
u name which means "the peak," "the
castle." "the point."
English plnce names generally state
some simple fact, and often denote
tm more than property; the name of
» tovvr, or hamlet being formed by
adding "ton" or "bain" to the name
t»f some early landholder.
Quite often a bit of even half-hu
morous description will survive in
such a name, as when a stony, starved
and woody district Is culled Starvacre.
Parisian Mementoes of Napoleon.
Tiie statue of Henri of Navarre on
the I'ont Neuf* the oldest bridge In
Paris, is a memento of Napoleon, for
It was cist from the bronze of the em
peror's statue which was torn from
the top of the Vonrtotue column in
181-1. This column was erected to
honor the victories of the great sol
dier. his martial deeds being depicted

face of the pillar. Mis figure, In the
robes of n Komun emperor. hn« since
been placed at the top. The Kxehnnge
bridge was "reefed by Napoleon and
still bears his monogram. the arches.
The famous colonnades of the I.onvre
district nr.- bis work. lie designed
them In memory of his native Corsica,
where that type of architecture Is
common.
Overcoming Insomnia.
The treatment of insomnia or sleep,
lessness Is a simple matter. I'syeho
nnnlysis <>r a physical examination dis
closes thi- real source of the disorder.
Insomnia has its foundation In loss
of pent r: 1 health, worries, bad habits,
neeil of ventilation and sunlight, He
tlre eurlv at night, even If you cannot
sleep. This restores the normal habit.
Take a classful of hot milk, a few
crackers and a hot bath before you re
tire. A cold pack to the head and a
hot water buttle to the feet help to
woo slumber. A triple effervescent
bromide tabloid or two in a glassful
of water before bedtime will usually
soothe the sufferer back Into the land
of Nod and a good eight limits of
sleep.
