EXPRESSED AN OPINION.
What Countryman Thought of the Work
of Physician.

of Physician.
One of the most prominent physicians
in Washington owns farm somewhere
in New England, and whenever he gets
unbearab]y tired of his fashionable pa
tients in town he, goes there, puts on
his oldest clothes, lays in a stock Of corn
cob pipes and rusticates. One day last
summer, says the Washington Post, he
was jogging lazily along a. country road
in a ricl1ety old cart drawn by a horse
almost as rickety. A countryman walk
ing on the same road asked for lift
and the two fell into conversation.
'Who are you working for?'' asked
the countryman.
ooh, I'm working for DR.. J., down
there answered the physician.
'What doin'?"
"Oh," went on the doctor. 81 do
everything for him. I take care of
him, you know. I dress him and feed
him, and even wash his face and put
him to bed. I do everything he needs

The countryman looked at the doc

over the wheel and spat solemnly.

was all he said.

IRREGULARITIES OF M,LLlONAlRES
Use Halfpenny Stamps and Have Poor
Dinner.

Use Halfpenny Stamps and Have Poor
Dinner.
I have been asked whether I ever re-
ceive social invitations from million
aires in open envelopes, with halfpen-
ny stamps, and what I think Of the
practice on the part of the millionaires,
says London Truth. It is not often that
I am privileged to receive invitations
from millionaires under any circum-
stances, but it is remarkable fact that
+ have had such an invitation addressed
to me at the halfpenny rate of postage,
and as others have had similar ex-
perience I suppose that millionaires as
a class have weakness for halfpenny
postage stamps. Probably this weak
ness has something to do with their
having become or remained million
aires.
A worse failing on the part of mil
lionaires of which I have experience is
that they occasionally ask their friends
to dinner and sit them down to a meal
quite unfit to eat. Personally, I would
rather that man took halfpenny off
the postage of my invitation and spent
it on the dinner. So far as the invita-
ton is concerned, there may possibly
be many people who, when invited to
the houses of 1nillionaires, would wish
the fact widely known and would pre-
fer, if possible, that the invitation
should be sent on a postcard, so that all
who run may read. Perhaps it is from
this kindly motive rather than from
parsimony that millionaires .patronize
the halfpenny post. Let us think as
we'll of Dives as we can.

FOOTPRINTS INTHE STONE.
Discovery in a Los Angeles Park of
u Great Interest to Archaeo1oEists.

= Great Interest to ArchaeO1oEists.
Scientifically -inclined persons in
southern California are bordering
deeply over the discovery, in Elysian
park here, of a distinct imprint in solid
stone of a shoe worn by a human being,
says the Los Angeles Herald. This dis
covery is certain to excite NO little COM
ment, for there appears to be no anthem
tic record of fossilized footprint of
a human being of ordinary size having
been found heretofore. The peculiar
feature of this find is that the owner
of the foot wore a shoe of antique Mex-
can fashion, with high, narrow heel
and broad, fat sole. The imprint is
perfectly clear, and looks as though the
owner had unwittingly put his right
foot into soft mud but day or two
ago and left his mark, to be dried by
the sun and preserved for future gen
elntions
The fossil imprint was discovered by
laborers who were making deep cut
for the new wagon road northwest of
the park. It was cut out of solid rock,
four feet or Whereabouts below the sur
face soil, and from point on the hill
side at least 70 feet above the bottom
of the little canyon at the hills base.
The stone is fine-grained ahale, in,-
pregnated with lime An interesting
fact in connection with the find is this
Several other exceNently preserved and
clearly defined organic remains,
such as ferns, leaves and twigs, have
been found in the same deposit, and,
stranger still, but few days ago the
complete outline of fish was taken
from the same stratum of stone not
many feet distant from this last find.
The fsh's remains were 20 feet below
the surface.

THE POPULAR IDEA,
But They Are Not All Innocent Men
Who Go to Siberia.

But They Are Not All Innocent Men
Who Go to Siberia.
There is a popular idea that the
wastes of Siberia are peopled with men
who have been unjustly exiled from
Russia, and that the criminal is really
as difficult to find as the traditional
needle in the bunch of hay, says Tit
Bits. Facts, however, do not substanti-
ate this theory any more than they do
the large majority of popular impress
sions.
A great sensation was created two or
three years ago by the finding of seven
Russian exiles Or prisoners, who had
made their escape from Siberia They
were in an open boat in the Pacific,
and were taken to San Francisco, where
they became the objects of popular
commiseration, as well as the text for
the denouncing Of the Russian methods
OF dealing with political offenders.
The Californians, ever ready with
sympathy, gave them clothes and found
them work to do. It now appears that
during the interval that has elapsed be-
tween their arrival in SAM Francisco
and now every one of them has been
punished by the law of the land. The
last of the party has just been sentenced
to 81 years imprisonment for burglary,
while one of his comrades only a short
time ago was hanged for two murders
which he had committed.
Investigations which have been made
show that every one of these men had
been sent to Siberia for reasons which
would have earned him corresponding
period Of exile from the haunts of his
fellowmen if not absolute deportation
from the country in any other part OF
the world I

nized, or had not developed then, and
he was regarded as an average rider.
was considered Sloans superior in every
way, but the records show that the latter
would have been a safe lad to follow in
the books by those who bet on the rider
more than on the horse he rides. The
number of those who do this is larger
than is generally supposed, but Sloan
was not considered worth special notice.
He went east, where he was taken up by
Mr.. keene, who, seeing that there was
more in the boy than his record showed,
because he had not had the proper op-
portunity to display his ability, gave
him the chance he so long desired. That
the confidence was not misplaced is
shown by Sloan'S record across the
water. The London newspapers are as
rule well up on turf matters, especially
in what relates to the ability Of rider.
Here is what some of them say of his
riding:
The Daily News says: "It is useless to
deride the style and methods of jockey
who keeps winning. When Sloan leaves
our shores it will be amid chorus of
regrets from the bookmakers. The dis
elimination he exercised in choosing his
| times for winning and losing might have
been inspired by desire to make them
as rich as himself"
The Daily Telegraph says: Sloan
measures the wining post with an accu-
racy which skill and knowledge of pace
alone can give"

THE PRIZE RING

Big Jim Jeffries of this city and Joe
Choynski will meet before the National
Athletic club at San Francisco tomor-
row night for twenty-round go. The
judgment Of sports who have been
watching both men in their training has
resulted in betting of 10 to Z, with Choyn-
ski at the long end, and 1t would not be
surprising II the odds were to be made
to l before the fighters enter the ring.
Naturally local men are backing JEFF
fries, and from the manner In which bets
are being placed 1t appears that as much
money will change hands on the result
as when Solly Smith Of this city whipped
George Dixon. Both men have COM
pleted their work and are now resting
They are in splendid fettle. Especially
can this be said of Jeffries, who has been
training two months for this match, it
having been postponed twice.
Jeffries possesses all confidence in his
ability and 1t Is almost certain that he
will force the fighting from the start.
1t Is known that Choynski is better at
aggressive than defensive tactics, and
the result promises to be one of the live
liest encounters that has been seen In
this country for a long time. Unlike
the recent Sharkey- Goddard fiasco, both
men have clean records as fighters and
both are of acknowledged ability. 1t is
predicted that the fight will be sharp
and short and that a decision will bA
soon rendered. Jeffries is not without
friends in the vicinity of San Francisco,
and they are taking all the bets they can
get. There was never more willing
