CONDEMN ABBREvlATIoN.
Physicians Dislike the Too Common
Practice Of People Calling
Them "Doc."

"The st. Louis physicians who are
making crusade on the abbreviation
Doc now in such common use, are do
ing a good thing" said an old physician,
land I hope the thing will spread to
other sections of the country. Doc
for doctor, has been in use a good long
time and has enjoyed a good run in the
popular estimate. 1t Is much easier to
say doc than DOCTOR and suppose
in this age. when time counts for so
much, the difference in the time re-
quired to roll the two expressions from
the tongue amounts to something,
though I am not advised that the st.
Louis physicians have objected to the
use of doc on the ground of the time
wasted in saying doctor
'The main objection seems to be on
the idea that doc is lacking in dignity.
Doctor is more dignified than doc
from the standpoint of the profession
al man. Besides, doctor is the correct
word. Why should men call doctor
door We might as well speak of the
professor as prof or say pres for
president Sec for secretary and so
on in an indefinite number of other in
stances. Physicians do nota like to be
addressed as doc They have objected
to the word from the very beginning Of
its use, and they will continue to object
to it as long as it's use is continued.
"The crusade begun in ST. Louis
against doc is good one, and it ought
to spread to every section of the country
where physicians exist We are doc
tors if anything, and the term doc
is not only misfit, but it is offensive.
I sincerely hope its use will soon be dis

BATTLE between FISHES.
Two Days Struggle in Which Q
"Tiger" Shark Is Killed by
Smaller Enemy.

A remarkable instance of a large man
eating shark being attacked and killed
by small fish has occurred in the local
aquarium, says q recent Honolulu re-
port
A shark measuring II feet in length
was caught and placed in the shark pen
at the aquarium. It was of the variety
known as tiger" and was an ugly
dark gray color. Eight men were neces-
sary to get it from shallow water into
the pen, which is 20 feet square and
five feet deep.
When the shark was placed in the pen
turtle and some small fish were in
the water. Among the fish was one
about two feet in length, known as an
ulua, which has much sharper teeth
than the ordinary fish, but it's jaws are
not especially large.
For day after the shark was put
into the pen the ulua was kept busy
lodging it, but the second day marked
change occurred, and visitors noticed
that the two fish were swimming in
company. The ulua kept close under
the sharks belly. Round and round the
tank the pair swan, the shark trying to
conquer the ulua, as it had all of the
other fish, and the ulua trying to remain
close to its enemy.
After several days of this skirmish-
ing instead of swimming rapidly
around, the shark would suddenly turn
and lash the water and take an entirely
different course. 1t was first thought
that the creature had become enraged
at being confined in such a limited
space, but the cause was very different.
From being helpless, shrinking
coward the ulua had turned into des-
perate assailant, and was savagely at
lacking the shark. Apparently realiz-
ing that the tender portion of the shark
was the belly and about the gills, the
ulua confined its attacks to those parts
of its enemy. The little assailant would
dart under the big body, seize hold of
the flesh near the gills, and bite out
small sections. Every time the sharp
teeth of the ulua would tear away the
sharks flesh the monster would writhe
and thrash about in frantic effort to
seize on its assailant. but a stroke Of
the tail would send the tiny combatant
out of harms way
Often as the big gray body would rush
madly through the water the ulua would
snap at the tail or tear away the flesh
In other portions of the body The wa
ter was churned up so that neither of
the combatants could be seen. The
smaller fish always fought close in upon
its opponent. where it was out of reach
of the enormous jaws and close to tho
vital spots of the shark.
Thise warfare lasted for two days and
two nights. Big holes were made in the
sharks body. The flesh about the gills
was torn away, and great patches from
its belly. The entire lower part of the
shark was cut and lacerated by the
sharp teeth OF its savage little enemy.
Repeatedly the shark leaped two-thirds
of its length out of the water in frantic
endeavor to escape from its pursuer.
The big fish finally gave up the con-
test and sought only to escape. The
ulua was transferred to another part of
the aquarium and the shark left in
peace. but the attacks by the small fish
had so weakened the shark that it died
= few DAYS after the ulua was removed.

isle and to clear the land entirely by
1916. The effect this idea has had
upon the sugar industry has been little
less than disastrous. The laborer is
taken way and nothing offered in his
place. The cry was that the black man
working for less wages was standing
In the place of the Australian citizen.
Ii this is SO the white worker will
nave an opportunity to demonstrate
his ability to work in tropic fields.
One result of the ruling by the
masses is the great number Of holidays
given. There is scarcely date in the
calendar which is not made an excuse
for closing the shop and leaving the
work. At Easter, for instance, all BUSH
ness houses are closed for four days.
Easter coming in their finest summer
weather, Is set for the great racing
season, and in no country does the
sporting fever run SO high as in the
new continent. Banks as well as cloth.
ing and provision shops are closed for
the entire time. Good Friday, then
the opening of the races on Saturday,
Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.
It all the banks and wholesale
houses were to close for four successive
days in this country we would think
the world was coming to an end.
Labor is at the head and wages have
been good and work fairly steady, but
there is beginning to be a reaction.
Among the smaller manufacturers
there are many failures. The constant
demands of the union leaders. the ever
increasing number of holidays has
made it impossible to run a concern
with any profit, and there is a strong
influx of immigration toward the
states. In consequence of this there
is much idleness among the common
wage earners.
The country at large is now support

tons as they are called, for after seven
years Of drought there is abundant

stead there are two classes, the regular
servant of high wages and exorbitant
demands and q new class-sprung up
from the same fields as the sales
ladies, namely, the lady help. A good
servant must work and keep her place.
AS is only too common nowadays,
though, such servants are scarce, and
for home in moderate circumstances
the wages are impossible.
For these there is the lady help.
These are ladies in reduced circum-
stances-that is always the first thing
you are given to Internationally
working for pin money or for the com.
partnership.
In return for the services Of the lady
help you pay her about half the wage
of the ordinary servant, and though
she expects to do your work, yet she
assumes the position Of relative or
visitor in the family. She prepares
the meals, but she also eats them with
the family. She answers the door
bell and probably takes seat in the
parlor. She will bring in the afternoon
tea, but will sit down with you and
your guests and join in the social cup
and the conversation. Nothing is
sacred from her She wants her
rights, and these rights consist Of
finger in every pie. You can only
escape her or only have private word
with your family by fleeing to the
uttermost chamber of your home and
locking the door behind you, and then
you had better stuff the key hole.
Deliver us still from the blight Of
the lady help!

Chinese Woman Declares It Is DOM
inant Trait Of the
Americans.

Nine. Wong Kai Kah, the wife of the
Chinese commissioner to the st. Louis
fair, was asked the other day If she liked
America.

in fact, that have bought large tract
of land in the west"
what appears to you to be the DOM
inant American trait?" was asked her.
'Hopefulness," she answered: "a
cheerful perseverance, an Industrious
optimism. This trait governed young
man whom / met the other night at q
dinner party. He was medical student.
and some one said to him:
" Don't you despair of ever building
up practice in medicine?'
Indeed, no. he answered.
"'But you will admit that the profess
sion is already overcrowded?'
oh, perhaps it is, said the young
man. And then. with laugh, he added:
But propose to graduate in medicine,
just the same, and those who are already
in the profession will have to take their
chances.

Chicago is in luck in not being any
nearer to the post than she is. The
matter of special interest at the pres
emit time in connection with this govern
ment military station is that it is to

plans prepared contemplate an ex-
penditure of nearly a million dollars.
One hundred and ten acres ut ground
lying southwest of the reservation are
to be purchased as soon as the neces-
sary authorization can be made by
congress. Among the buildings to be
erected by the government at the fort
are two sets of artillery barracks, each
to be separate extension on the east
side of the present large barracks. The
buildings will be detached from the
main structure, and each of the new
barracks will be large enough to &C.

the west side Of the present large bar
racks, will be erected two double sets
of cavalry barracks which will each
hold about $50 men. There will also

and they-the kites-are soaring pref
ty high and seem to maintain the dizzy
attitudes to which they have been
blown, and display a tendency to go
still higher. The fever for speculation

operator can succeed in cutting the
string Of his opponent and bringing
down the prices he will do it. 1t takes
. good, strong, steady gale to fly kite
successfully, and the bull kite flyer
has found conditions exactly to his
liking. From the northwest has come
a perfect gale of bad reports to send
up the kites and keep them up. Here
are some OF the blasts which have not
yet lost their strength and power:

Chicago spectators are securing the
northwest and closely investigating
conditions and these reports are the
result. A pretty good evidence that
they are reasonably correct is that at
Minneapolis, a point nearest the grain
country, prices have made the greatest
advances, and the trade there is said
to be on the verge of panic.
