WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
This Dog a Wonde


There is a young business man in
this city who, if the yarn he spun to
the Wayfarer recently be true, is The
possessor Of a valuable dog.
The dog in question is a pointer, and
is highly priced by it's owner, who not
long since went after reed birds along
the Jersey coast, and took the dog
with him.
The narrator was walking down Mar
ket street, Philadelphia, early in the
morning to take a ferryboat for Cam
den when suddenly his dog stopped
short and pointed.
Much surprised, the owner gazed
about him. but could see no trace of
game and was wondering at the dog S
strange behavior when CHANGING tC

TESTING STORE ORDER BILL
Miners Have Employed Counsel to De.
fend the Bill.

AIeno tne BILL
Harrisburg, Nov. The hearing in
the proceedings to test the constitu-
tionality Of the store order tax bill
passed by the last legislature was be-
gun yesterday in the Dauphin county
court before Judges Simmonton and
Weiss. The bill levies a tax Of % per
cent. on the face value of all orders,
checks, etc, representing the wages
or earnings of an employe not paid in
cash to the employe or member of his
family.
The testimony of witnesses for the
corporations who instituted the pro-
ceedings showed that hardly any two
companies do business upon precisely
the same principle or issue the same
kind of paper in paying their men.
This is one of the bills endorsed by
the United Mine Workers state con
vention at Hazleton last February.
and the miners have employed counsel
to defend it, Their attorneys at yes
terday's hearing were Joseph +.
O'Brien, of Scranton; d. ]. Mccarthy,
Of Hazleton; John NJ Carr, of Wilkes

FORTUNE NOT AN ACCIDENT.

"Fortune does not happen. It may seem to come all at once, but has been arriving for years. For instance. Kip ling, 1t the age of about 22, blazed out upon the world, and men gazed and wondered. Then it was discovered that in far away India Kipling, from early boyhood. had been drudging, dreaming, yearning, hoping, groping in the dark, unseen, unknown, at his literary tasks. Ay, he blazed out, but the fires had smoldered in his heart and with sweat of brow and grimy face. diligently, patiently had he fed them.
 "Or, you may view it in this way: There is a newly launched ship. Look at her. What means all that maneu- yering? Now she is steaming ahead, now astern, circling to starboard, now to port: now running before the wind, now against it. What means it? The ship is trying herself, discovering de- fleets. acquiring mastery, before she gets down to the serious business of launching out into shoreless waters. Let the young aspirant so regard h s first years of effort-those awful years when I wrote, I mailed, I, received hack expresses the extent of his wis ible attainments.' Whitcomb Riley in Success.

Those were ugly charges made by Senator Gallinger in support of his resolution for joint congressional committee to investigate special pen sion legislation. He said that under the present practice a pension bureau had been established under the dome of the capitol, and pension attorneys, he believed for pay, advised clients that it was easier to get pensions through congressional action than through the pension bureau He called attention to the fact that one senator had introduced 1G2 private pension bills, and another 145; that the total of these bills in this congress had almost reached 5000, and he predicted that they would be doubled in the next congress if something were not done to head off present practices.

VALUE OF A BUSINESS TRAINING

Business is king. proclaims Success in its February issue. The profes sions or specialties tend to narrow and dwarf the individual, crushing out originality and individuality. Nature is opposed to one-sided development: and the man who only trains one part of his mind to do one thing pays a very heavy penalty. A symmetrical full rounded development is what na- ture is after.
 A business career in this life has a great advantage over the professions of specialties. It gives an all round development. Solid, level headed men as a rule, are business men. Their ed ucation is general; they are constant ly on the, alert to take advantage of every opportunity.
 Any system of training which does not exercise all of the faculties of the mind tends to kill the practical facul ties. Specialists and professional mer do not have as great common sense as business men who have an all round training.
 One-half of the college graduates al the present time enter business. Not very long ago nearly half of our col lege graduates studied law. It was considered the proper thing, then, tc go into one of the learned professions It took great courage then for q boy to announce in college that he woulG enter a business career. Half a cen tury ago going into business was no' a very attractive proposition, but the new civilization. the enormous com mercial development of our country has made business king. and glitterine prizes are held up everywhere in busi

THE JUDGE AND THE DOCTOR.

When medical mans professional duties and his duties as a citizen clash, what ought he to do? Dr. Will liam D. Moore of Philadelphia had to decide this question for himself Wednesday morning, and to decide 1t in hurry. He was due ill the crim- inal court to testify in case of as- sault and battery. He was also due at the bedside of a patient suffering from virulent d-phtheria, to whom she had admln4s stered anti-toXin the nlgnt before. He gave his protessional ob legations, and the patient, the benefit o1 the doubt. That made hlm half an hour late in g5tting to court. When he arrived Judge Wiltbank rebuked him for his tardIIresS and fined hlm SlO. When the clrcumsta.ices were explained the fine was remitted, but the doctor was told from the bench that in making h choice between the two conflicting duties he had chosen wrongly. II u.d not understand that it the patients case) was so serlous." Judge WiltUank was understood by the court reporters to say, ''Dut despite that fact, it were better that the pa- tient had died than that the common wealth should be treated with con tempt.
 This is rather startling doctrine: we feel no surprise at the news That tue Philadelphia physicians are up in arms against it. Dr Moore tells the Press that he could hardly believe his ears. 1 would never neglect one of my pa tfents. however poor. to obey suD- poena from the court" he says. My duty is first to my patients and after ward to the court Dr J. P. Reynolds considers the judges doctrine ridicu- lous. If I had been in Dr Moore's position I'd have done exactly as he did," says Dr Reynolds. Dr W. NJ. Sweet points out that a physician neg lecting a patient in order, to obey court summons would expose himself to a suit for damages. If he pleaded that his act was due to fear of the judge he might win the case, but where would His practice be then? No one would place confidence in him. Dr r. x. Dercum finds the reported dictum of Judge Wiltbank almost in credible. Tt will be found that all doctors will pay their fines, if that is necessary, and attend to their pa tie1lts' he says. Dr s. Soils Cohen has always found judges and lawyers conSiderate in his personal experience, and expects to continue to do so. But if the question presented itself he would decide as pr Moore did. 'Eyi- dently Judge Wiltbank has not been i'll lately" says Dr Collier L.. Bower. Any physician who would leave a suffering person and attend court sim ply because he was afraid of a judicial penalty would be unworthy of his call ing"
 Of course Judge Wiltbank of the Philadelphia criminal court is not a fool; We are not sure that it isn't con- structiye contempt even to contem- plate such a dreadful state of things as that would be. But we shall ven- ture to think that he had q minute or two of unwisdom Wednesday morning. Hartford Courant.
