When l graduated from the law
school," said the old lawyer, with a
reminiscent smile, Il took Horace
Greeley's advice and went West. To-
Gated in little town that then was
on the frontier and waited with the
confidence of youth for clients. Before

tanned to defend a man for stealing a
horse. This elated me very much, for
l was not aware at the time that the
case had been refused by all the other
lawyers in town, as defending horse
thief was not thing to be desired if a
man valued his life. The case came
to trial before an old judge and jury
composed of bewhiskered ranchers.
There was no doubt that the man was
guilty, but he had a number of friends
who were willing to swear to anything,
and l thought it my duty to make the
best possible use of them. They were
all willing to swear that the defendant
was forty miles away from the spot

SIR WILLIAM JENNINGS.
Anecdotes OF the Late Noted Physician
to Queen Victoria.

The late Sir William Jennings used
to wear at his watchchain a gold
guinea piece which bore a pleasant
little history. One day he found
among the patients in his consulting
room a humble carpenter. On remark
ing to the man that his disease had,
through neglect of treatment, made
great progress, he received the fol-
lowing reply:
Il have been waiting to see you for
three years, SIR
why, my MANI" queried the ply
stefan, couldn't you afford to come
sooner?"
"Oh, yes" answered the caWen-
ter, "but could not get gold guinea
piece anywhere, and l heard that you
would take nothing else
Sir William used to wear that
guinea on his chain. But, though he
completely cured the patient in the
course of eight months, he never took
another fee from the poor fellow, who
tried so hard to find that guinea piece
and who had waited so patiently to
consult him.
One of Sir Williams warmest ad-
mirers was the late John Brown, fol-
so many years the gillie and persona
body servant of the queen. John alb.
solutely declined to be professionally
attended by anybody except Sir Will
lam, explaining that he had no faith
whatsoever in the other royal physi
clans. Indeed, they tell story a.
court in England of how on one occa
sion old Sir William was summoned
post haste from London to the south
of Europe, where the queen was so
journing at the time, in order to pre-
scribe for very bad attack of in
digestion which had Frustrated thu

DECLINE OF THE BUSINESS MAN.

He has hooked himself on to the
telephone and the telegraph and the
stockticket, and the inpour of infor-
nation over the wires is telling on his
nerves. His vital battery wasn't cal
culated to keep so many wires in
trim. It is the center of too much
activity, and his nerves are getting
thin. His doctor is no more than
lineman, who is called in when the
wires are down. With our business
men they are down most of the time.
It's getting worse and worse. You
often find when something breaks
about machine, that the part broken
was not worn. 1t was good for years
and years yet with proper usage, but
strain was put on it. There was a
breakage without wear. Now in my
professional career l have found that
to be so with many patients. They
are nearly all prosperous merchants
men tied up in endless affairs. They
have fine physiques and sound organs,
but all of sudden they are candi-
dates for medical examination. The
walls of every physicians Office could
tell some important tales on this line,
| assure you. Fine men dying and the
weakest thing about them their judg-
ment Of their own capacity. That was
the thing that killed them and they
know it. The doctor often gives some
of them bitter advice straight from
the logic of things and they have gone
out broken and hopeless men, The
trouble with the business men is that
they are hot at the axle. There Is no
cooling off. The machinery is going
all the time. It's all right to make 1t
go reasonable time each day. Hard
work never killed anyone. 1t doesn't
even wear things out fast, but it's the
running constantly, the overstrain OF
one part, that causes the trouble.
Something breaks and all for the want
OF rest-for a short period In which
to cool off. That's what these strained
overheated nerves need-just a little
time each day to cool off. What
would become OF the machinery of our
ocean liners II the monsters did not
cool off every time they come in port?
Men don't often consider the need OF
regular relaxation. They're going to
cool off later on in life, and they
think they can run along we'll enough
until that time. They struggle to-
ward an aim, and wear themselves
out, and just when they are most
tired and even inclined to relax, why
then it often happens that some
special opportunity presents itself, or
some special need of meeting a strain
in an unexpected quarter appears, and
thought Of rest vanlshes."-Dr. George
f. Shrady in Ainslee's Magazine.

ATHLETES MAKE POOR SOLDIERS.

An odd fact developed by the cam
paign of the list Is this, at least 10
seems to be established, that. given
equal hardships, men In fine athletic
training suffer more than men in ordi-
nary condition. Statistics show, In
this regiment, that the runners, the
jumpers, the crack bicycle riders, and
the record men renerally were reader
fever victims than their comrades, and
gave out sooner in the emergencies
of the battlefield. There was Sergeant
Meeks, q long-distance runner, and
Hub" Smith, bicycle rider, and Sic
bold, a Splinter and hurdler, and Prl-
vate Meeks, another bicycle rider, and
Divanne, a runner, and so on through
long list. Almost without exception
these fine athletes fell into illness or
utter collapse with the first hard strain
put upon them. They made worse fe-
yer cases and dysentery cases than the
others, and 1t appeared to nurses and
doctors as beyond question that the
thorough physical training which
these men had completed just before
the war, In anticipation OF the spring
athletic games, was a serious impair
ment OF their powers for resisting dis
ease. IL is worthy Of note, also. that
most OF these athletes INDUCED neither
In drink nor tobacco.-Cleveland Moi

and Cuzco. 100000 llamas, each car

erous murder of their Inca came to
that heavily freighted caravan. and

world with him, and the Inca's treas

Clement Markham, president of the
Royal Geographical Society of Lon

did not succeed, but he found that it

he argues, the gold-laden priests left
the frequented highway and went
into the lonely mountains, there to
bury their vast treasure, w...h
Spanish greed would not find. But
where? In Prescott's fascinating Con-
quest OF Peru he frequently refers to
this buried treasure and to its mar
vellous possibilities. From time to

Les Cendrillons" is the name by
which certain series OF exclusive sub
scription dances is known in New
