A man who had been to his uncle's
said: mo one can claim that charity
Ia not widely distributed in this city
after seeing the contribution boxes that
= hung up in conspicuous places in
the smaller of the pawnbrokers' shops.
The particular relative to whom ! spoke
Of it told me that the little boxes were
put up every year about the beginning
of the autumn and generally were for
the benefit OF some Hebrew charity.
saThey are taken down just before the
holidays, and he said that for the past
10 years the one i'm his shop had aver
aged between $13 and $40, mostly in 8
and 10 cent pieces, although once the
agent had found q s5 piece in 1t. 'One
doesn't look for much charity among
persons who have TO pawn their goods,
he said, but I've seen the very poorest
class Of men and women look at the box
with interest and then drop something

To some persons commencement day
comes many times. My friend Oh. We
rawyze Is such q man. As the name i
have given him indicates. he is full Of
lore of many sorts, although he has not
a large practice. The first commence
ment day In his experience came when
he left the country school in an interior
state where he studied the three RS. 1t
was not called commencement day. 1t
was simply the '.last day., and with
half q dozen overgrown farmers lads
and as many country girls he spoke q
piece on that occasion. He was regarded
as o boy of unusual promise, for he could
do all the sums in the arithmetic, and
he was the only scholar that had ever
studied physiology in that school. His
teacher frankly confessed that he knew
much less about the subject than did
the boy and predicted for him o bril-
liant professional career. After that the
young man attended o nearby village
academy, and there, too, he was o
marked pupil. The last day there was
not called commencement either, but it
was marked by closing exercises, = In
which he took a prominent part.
From the academy ne went TO one of
the smaller colleges, and there he led
his classes, as before, taking SO many
honors every year that If he had not
been O young man Of unusual sweetness
of character he would have been posi-
lively unpopular. From college no went
to q medical school in New York or
philadelphia, / forget which, and when
he had finished his professional course
there he was again o figure at COM
mencement day-his fourth, but not his
last, for then he sailed across the ocean
and studied under foreign masters Of
medicine, where he went through his
fifth and final commencement day.
The period between his first and last
appearance at closing exercises was
about is years, all of which time he
was subjected to the most elaborate and
conscientious training. He learned all
the things that were in the books that
he studied. He could and can yet, for
his memory is remarkable, answer al
most amy question that may be found be-
tween their covers. But somehow he has
not been a successful man notwithstand-
ing all his schooling. Something is the
matter. When he has a patient, which

1t was hard work for the young man,
