unusually large, all grades have held
their own remarkably we'll and at the close
of the week all cOlory new tobacco and

that many of our patrons, regarding the

their common grades to become damaged

be so.

It is not generally known that Marat
the Revolutionist, dispatched by Charlotte
Corday, was physician, and that he had
certain success in treating consumption.
1t is recorded of him that he cured titled
lady of this disease In its advanced stages,
and that her gratitude to him knew no
bounds. Unfortunately he wus enticed
into politics and prevented from pursuing
his studies further in direction that
might have made his memory revered in.
stead of detested.
For some reason doctors seem to drift
naturally toward politics and radicalism,
perhaps because their profession tends to
render them skeptical. In Brazil and the
Argentine Republic they have shown them
selves decidedly ambitious. The celebrated
DIR. Charcot is a radical whose principles
verge on the revolutionary. Clemenceau
gaye up his medical practice years ago
to devote himself to politics, and though
he is man of great talent and IA brilliant
orator, his political efforts have not CON
tributed to his personal advancement or
been of great benefit to his country. Be.
sides Clemenceau there arc from forty to
fifty physicians in the French chamber of
deputies Francisco Chronicle.

Returned. with Thanks.

1t is great mistake for the literary as.
pirant to imagine that his returned manu-
script has committed any offense, or that
his muse, II he has strided Pegasus, cannot
soar. What he must do is to sail forth
with 1t again and again until 1t reaches a
favored port which it will surely do IL it
has the requisite merit, somewhere and at
some date. President Lincoln used to say,
when he was trying faithfully and with
great diligence to place the various able
men who were presented to him for the
civil service and for the army, that it was
a very difficult matter to get the square
pegs in the round holes and the round pegs
in the square ones. And it is just this
difficulty which confronts the writer for
periodicals and magazines. No matter
how experienced he may be he will often
fail before he brings his commodity to the
market which waits for it.
But editors do not wish to be cruel or
hardhearted, however much they may seem
so to the unspurred and unfedged writer.
The very best and most famous of them
have often told me that one Of tho saddest
and most thanklcss duties they have to
perform is to return q contribution that
for some good reason does not prove to be
available. When once wrote some verses
treating this necessity humorously, had
to apply to three editors in succession be.
