His First Story.

A certain author, now well known to fame and fortune, once in the "battle for bread,' wrote 8 wild Indian story for northern story paper. That was 12 years ago, and to the story he gave his real name. He received fat check for 1t, but year after year went by and-the story never appeared. It finally passed from his remembrance, until the other day, when be received O letter from the publishers informing him that 1t would shortly put in an appearance in serial form. That made the author nervous, and he forthwith sent tho following tel egram:
 Suppress story and return manu- script and will pay three times amount of original check.
 The publishers replied:
 Cant do it. We know s good thing when we have 1t, The story is in your best vein."
 Letter after letter, telegram after tele- gram. passed, but no, he didn't have money enough to buy that story. So he has written to all his friends and critics and has explained the circumstances and now awaits as cheerful1y as possible the weekly slaughter of the red Indians of his youthful brain.

Antioholera Vaccination.

Anticholera vaccination originated about 12 years ago with Dr. Ferran, a Spanish physician. His vaccine of eight drops of a cholera culture mixed with bile was used with many misfortunes upon s6, 900 persons, but gave sufficient encouragement to lead to Haffkine's ex- periments, which have proved so suo- cessful in India. Haffkine employs attenuated cholera baoilli, followed a few days later by virulent cultures, Equally good results from the use of dead cholera bacilli-killed by either heat or chloroform-are now claimed by Kolle, who gets the same effects by simply using somewhat larger doses of his less terrifying preventive. Compara- tive tests have shown that the blood of the vaccinated individuals is now 900 times as potent in resisting cholera in- feotion as that of the unvaccinated As evidence of the effectiveness of modern methods of dealing with cholera the fact is mentioned that it has had 500, 900 victims in Russia since 1909, while in Germany, including the Hamburg epidemic, its deaths have been but 5000 The disease seems destined soon to become as obsolete as smallpox

The Fighting Editors.

remember calling at the office of O great Parisian newspaper with a friend who wished to have rectified state- ment published in it concerning him. When our business was made known, we were ushered into a handsomely furnished room on the first floor. Seated at desks, without a trace of pens, ink or paper or of anything in a literary way except some new novels, together with few packages of cigarettes, were two gentlemen whose appearance made considerable impression on me. They were faultlessly dressed in deep black (the duelist's colorl Each bad the rib bon of the Legion in his buttonhole. their long jet black mustaches were waxed out to a point as fine us n needle's, and there wns in their whole manner, their voices, their gestures and the expression of their eyes and mouths an indescribable something that pro claims the man who at one time or an- other has worn 0 uniform. These were the fighting editors, with whom evI- dently the pen was not mightier than the sword. They were civil, however, and consented to the rectifcation of the paragraph. AS fighting was their trade, they looked at 1t in purely business way and only went out when the de- mands made were too unreasonable to be entertained. fancy that they some times fought in defense of articles they had never even seen. .-Oornhill Maga- gina

 This genial old professor used eo form very picturesque feature in the Edinburgh streets. He was wiry old patriarch, with handsome features and hair falling in ringlets about his shoul- ders No one who had seen him could possibly forget him.
 One day he was acoosted by a very dirty little bootblack with his "Shine your boots, sirP''
 The professor was impressed by tbe fllthiness of the boy's face.
 ''I don't want shine, my lad" said be, ''but if you'll go and wash your face I'll give you sixpence"
 "A richt, sir" was the lad's reply. Then he went over to a neighboring fountain and made his ablutiona Re, turning, be held out his hands for the money.

A Stubborn Genius.

Robert Chambers told me he was once talking with man of real, rugged gen. jus, who came to 8 sorrowful end. He said to the genius; "The population of this world is about 1,20O, 900, 900 hu- man beings. The little religious body to which you belong contains perhaps 300, 0OO.: Of that number not 300 could give an intelligent account of its creed Yet@you think ita creed sets out vital matters, Is it consistent with your be- lief that God Almighty would permit just 300 of his creatures to know those things and keep all the millions igno- rant of themr' The genius considered for minutes space, then replied, ]" Yes, think 1t quite right that God should do that. !" Whereupon the good Robert Chambers said very resolutely, efThen I'm tremendously sorry for you. |" And he never spoke to the genius save on transient incidents any more. Long mans Magazine.
