In DR.. Weir Mitchell's book a pleas
ant story or two is told of Walt Whit
mar, the writer, to whom some would
deny the name of poet, while others re-
gard him as one of the greatest of all
poets One of the char cters in the
story of "Dr. North and ;ils Friends
says that Whitman was eaten I'D by
his own vanity, regarding everything
he did as of such supreme value that
he had lost all power of self criticism
and could not tell good from bad or in
different. Once he was asked IL he
thought Shakespeare as great a poet as
himself. He replied that he had often
thought of that, but had never been
able to come to Il decision.
He went to physician upon an Oc-
casion, thinking himself seriously out
of health. When he learned that his
ailment, whatever it was, could be
treated best by living as mu,h as pos
sible out of doors without dc ling with
medicine, he was leaving in all good
humor when he bethought himself OF
the physicians fee. How much will
1t be?' he inquired. The debt was
paid long ago" said the doctor, who
knew and liked his writings. 1T Ia
you who are still the creditor" Whit
man thanked him and went out An
other patient, lady, had taken his
place when he returned, put his t@b
great hands on the table opposite his
medical adviser-he had not stopped to
knock or announce hlmself-and said.
THAT sir, call poetry"
The lady was scandalized by his
abrupt appearance and demeanor and
asked as soon as the writer had gone
for the second time, "Is the gentleman
insane?" but, learning his identity, sha
wished he had asked for his autograph

She sued middle aged gentleman for

PENDANT also went his way. The jury
returned, the defendant did not. The
jury found for the plaintiff in $500
damages.
The lawyer met the middle aged gem
tleman few minutes later in the lob
