in one of the large Office Buildings
of the City there is Suite finished in
Dark Wood. At a massive roil-top
Desk sits Cholley, the handsome Law
YER who is acquainted with all the
Club Fellows, Society Bucks and Golf
Demons. When a Client comes in
with Knotty Question, Cholley calls
in a Blonde Stenographer to jot down
all the Points in the Case. Then he
and the Client roast few Mutual Ac-
quaintances and the Client departs.
Cholley rings Bell and Brother Will
liam comes out Of a Side Room with
his Coat punched in the Back and his
Trousers bagged at the Knees. His
Cravat is tied on one side only and
he needs a Shave, but he is full of the
Law. ChOlley turns all the Papers ov-
er to him and tells him to wrestle
with the Authorities for a few Days
and Nights. Then William slips back
into his Hole and Humps himself over
the Calf-bound Volumes while ChOl-
ley puts on his Slate-colored Gloves and
Top Coat and goes out to where Simp-
son is holding a Carriage Door open
for him. He and Nellie take the air
in the $4,000 Victoria that he bought
with her Money and later in the Day
they dine with the StocksonBonds

The Modern Fable of the Book
Worm and the Butterfly Who
went Into the Law.
Once there were two Brothers who
started away to College at the same
| time. Just before they boarded the
Train, Pa led them aside and handed
them some splendid Advice. He told
them that they were now ready to
mold their Futures. He said he want
ed them to stay in of Evenings and
Bone hard, and he hoped they would
mind the Faculty and keep away from
the Cigarette Fiends, who play the
Banjo and talk about Actresses. He
wanted them to stand high in their
| Glasses and devote their Spare Mo
ments to Reading rather than to the
| WITNESSES and Mimical F'ooleries of a
University Town.
William listened solemnly and pro-
missed to Behave. Cholley f1dgeted in
his Chair and said it was nearly Train
Time.
So they rode away on the Vanished
Cars, William reading about the
Goths and Vandals and Cholley play
ing SEVENTH with a Shoe Drummer
from Lowell, who gave him several
Yarns that he afterward told as his
own.
At the University William remem
bered what Pa had said, SO he coopel
himself UP in his Room and became
Dig and soon enough was greatly ue-
spised as Pet of the Professors. CkOl
ley wore striped Jersey and Joined
| the Track Team and worked in the
Glee Club. He went to his Room when
all the other Places had closed up.
Every time a Show struck Town he
was in the Front Row to guy the Per
formers and pick UP some new Gags,
so as to maintain his Reputation as an
Original Comic. He went calling on
all the Town Girls who would stand
for his Fresh Ways, and he was known

The party had been discussing the pros

when General Won Niemand said:
The human animal has always favored
athletic exhibitions, contests which strain
the contestants to the very limit Some

different in that respect from what il was

that about the only compliments he had
ever received respecting the book was his
vivid picture of the chariot race. an evil

THE DOCTOR AND THE JUDGE.

A peculiar case occurred in Phil
a3e.phi2 court through the action of
Judge Wiitbank in fning for contempt
DR.. William D. Moore, who was a half
hour late in his attendance as a wit
ness on account of having visited a
patient who was seriously i'll before
>obeying the courts summons.
Yen he finally arrived he was
Nd~kle bar and an explanation
Of the delS>Semanded. DR.. Moore
answered that cAe of, his patients, a
little girl, was dangerously i'll with
diphtheria; that he had deemed it
necessary to visit her before coming to
court, and that, in consequence, he~had
missed his train. 2
Judge Wiltbank did not accept the
excuse. lie declared that persons sub
poened for court must be prompt in
attendance, regardless of the conse-
quences. He therefore imposed fine
of $40.
In so doing the Judge expressed him
self in this language: "a doctor S
first duty is to the Commonwealth, and
it is better that a patient should die
than that the Commonwealth should
be treated with contempt"
Whatever may be the legal theory on
which Judge Wiitbank based his re-
markable ruling it is safe to say il
would not stand in practice, and prac-
tice and usage and also common sense
make law.
At any rate the general public, and
we are sure the medical profession, will
agree with that other Philadelphia
physician. who, being asked what he
would do if placed in similar circum
stances, responded: Il would sta,
with my patient even if had to pay 6
fine or go to jail
