Something more than 80 years ago
there was born In q certain Western
town 9 baby boy. His parents were
among the best people IN the town;
his father g man who had more than
9 local reputation as q jurist and man
OF marked ability. The boy grew up
dark eyed, handsome as Appollo and
gifted By nature with the ability to be
E leader among his fellows. There
was no natural reason why he should
not have made a shining success in
almost any line Of business he might
choose. He chose to take the wrong
road and be followed It to the end.
He chose to grovel in the muck Of
human life and made the fatal errol
OF mistaking debauchery for pleasure
He made himself believe that virtue
was 8 myth and that honesty Of pur'
pose was E maWkish sentiment. b
his manner OF life he debarred himsal
from the pleasures Of good society
FOR no rightminded man who knew
him would have willingly permitted
daughter to keep him company
With q brilliant intellect, endowed b
nature with magnificent physique en-
an easy grace that should have wo
him success, he was q failure in ever
/ undertaking. The other day be die(
died at an age when be should hav
just been coming into the full matur

gone no man can justly pronounce
eulogy over his grave. The best 3

with his bones.

DISEASE AND BACTERIA.
Possibilities of Control Through Study
Of Pr0fOzOa.

Possibilities of Control Through Study
of PROTOCOL.
A new conception Of a disease or Of
the cause Of a disease in man makes
slow progress. This was strikingly
demonstrated when PaSteur first an
nounced that many human ills are
caused by living organisms, and the
fight which he and Lister waged to
establish the germ theory Is still fresh
in the minds Of scientific men. Little
by little they and their followers made
Roadway against the opposition, and
disease after disease was shown to be
caused by the minute bacteria.
To much less extent the same con-
servatism Is seen to-day In the wide.
spread opposition to the protoza the
DRY Of disease-less, because the battle
for the germ theory in general need
not be refought With malaria the
fight has been won; with smallpox and
yellow fever the battle is now on, and
time is needed to overcome the present
opposition-an opposition based upon
the same grounds as that Of thirty
years ago-namely, that the foreign
structures found in the human body
and regarded as organisms are the eff.
feet Of the disease and not the cause.
With bacteria such opposition was
overcome by the culture methods in
troduced by Koch. In protocol the
difficulties Of obtaining similar cul.
lures are far greater, and this In part
explains the failures to cultivate the
malaria organisms or the organism of
smallpox by the usual meteorological
methods. It is highly probable, how
ever, that when as much attention Is
given to the study Of disease-causing
protocol as is now given to that of
bacteria, all these difficulties will be
overcome. and that as our knowledge
Of this group increases we shall find
and control many more causes Of hui
man diseases.-Century.

Mr.. Barrie's Little Minister has
been a veritable gold mine to it's au-
thor, for, as novel and play, it has
brought him in some 100000. This
will make many less fortunate mouths
water, yet it is not an isolated case.
Literature is poorly-paying profess
sion for the rank and file, but for the
fortunate few who really succeed the
prizes are large. Seton Merrlman, the
novelist, left a fortune Of over $780,
900, the fruits Of dozen years Of f1c-
ton writing. Dickens left $500, 900,
and Lord Lytton's literary efforts pro-
duced 100000. Among single books
that have yielded large sums is 'Adam
Bede," for which, it is stated, George
Eliot received 100000.

LAWYERS FEES ARE LARGE.
Manner in Which They Are Collected
in England and This Country.

Manner in Which They Are Collected
in England and This Country.
Comparisons are often made be-
tween the fees of counsel in England
and America, and with unsatisfactory
results as it is difficult to find any rel
alive standard by which to measure
the result. In this country firm Of
lawyers would take entire charge of
such case as Whitaker Wright's and
have the sole conduct of it from start
to finish and would probably charge a
fee to cover the entire work perform
ed, based in some measure upon the
result. In England a firm Of solicit
ors is employed to prepare the case
for trial, but upon each hearing before
the magistrate and at the trial counsel
are retained, the solicitors usually be-
ing the ablest and most skillful their
clients means will afford.
In the Whitaker Wright trial thou
sands of pounds were doubtless spent
by both sides in getting the case ready.
Part of this money was ''out Of peck
ets'' for the services Of accountants
and scriveners, but profit costs Of the
solicitors must have been very large.
It is commonly reported that Rufus
Isaacs, X. c., who with Mr.. Avery,
K. c., and Emery Stephenson conduct
ed the prosecution, had 500 guineas-
say, 2,5O0-marked upon his brief,
with a daily refresher of 100 guineas,
which would make his compensation
for the actual court work $780, In
the usual course Mr.. Avery would re-
ceive a fee Of two-thirds the amount
Of Rufus Isaac's fee and Mr. Stephen
sons fee would amount to two-thirds
Of Mr.. Avery's fee. If this system is
allowed, and there is no reason to be-
lieve it was not, Mr.. Avery received
$4,000 and Mr.. Stephenson $780, or a
total Of approximately $4,000 for the
three counsels. Ransom Walker Is
said to have had no less than 1900
guineas marked on his brief for the
defense, but this was, to at least 1000
guineas, a special fee and his asso-
ciates would not, therefore, receive the
same proportional amounts. However,
it is not improbable that the defend
ants counsels were paid something
more, and probably considerably more,
than 5000 for their services.-Green
Bay.

MEN SHOULD LIVE LONGER.

It Is Not Old Age, but Passion that
Kills the Majority.
Few human beings die by reason Of
the indrmities Of years. Some claim
that all persons die Of disappointment,
personal, mental or bodily toll or acct
dent. The passions kill men some
times even suddenly. The common ex-
preston "choked with rage has little
exaggeration in it, for even though not
suddenly fatal strong passions shorten
life. Strong-bodied men often die
young, weak men live longer than the
strong, for the strong use their
strength and the weak have none to
use--the latter take care Of them
selves, the former do not. AS it is
with the body so it with the mind and
the temper; the strong are apt to break
or, like the candle, run; the weak burn
out. The inferior animals, which live
temperate lives, have generally their
prescribed term Of years.
The horse lives twenty-five years,
the OK fifteen to twenty, the lion about
twenty, the hog ten or twelve, the rab-
bit eight, the guinea pig six or seven.
The numbers all bear proportion to
the time the animal takes to grow its
full size. But man of all animals is
one that seldom comes up to the aver
age. He ought to live 100 years, ac-
cording to the physiological law, for
five times twenty are 100, but instead
Of that he scarcely reaches an average
Of four times the growing period. The
reason is obvious-man is not only the
most irregular and most Incorporate,
but the most laborious and hard-work-
ing if all animals He is always the
most irritable and there is reason to
believe, though we cannot tell what
an animal secretly feels, that more
than any other animal man cherishes
wrath to keep it warm and consumes
himself with the fire Of his own refec-
tons.

A New Fashion EriIl.

A little new touch that will count In
giving fresh look to party gown is
a shoulder-dangle. A simple one is
made Of narrow black velvet ribbons.
There are two shoulder-straps and two
ends Of different lengths. Each end is
finished with a rosette Of the rib
bon, and the two ends are caught with
another rosette just at the top Of the
low-cut bodice. The shoulder dangle
is worn at the left side, and fastens
at the back Of the bodice, as we'll as be.
ing tackled in front. This shoulder
dangle shows to, It's best advantage
when worn with an all-white gown.
It also gives a girl an excuse to In
troduce her favorite color In her frock
in an original way. The light, soft
ribbons are effective for this very odd
little dress accessory.
For the girl the design Of whose
gown will not allow Of shoulder
dangle there is a smaller dangle for
the sleeve. The sleeve-dangle is used
as a finish for an elbow-sleeve. An
exceptionally pretty dangle which fin

gave the tree-top a push. The sound
Of the voice made his heart beat hard
and fast, but he held his breath and
did not dare to move as much as q
finger for long time after that When
he ventured to look around the camp
was out Of sight.
That was the last he saw Of any In
dams. But he did not dare to leave
the tree-top yet awhile, for, from all
he knew to the contrary, there might
be others ahead.
About noon he came in sight Of the
first farm. Here was the place for
his work Of warning to begin. He man.
aged to paddle his craft near shore,
and pretty soon he stood on land again.
He lost no time in telling the settler
his story. An hour later the man and
his family, with John as passenger,
drove toward st. Mary's. They
warned all the settlers along the road,
and the frightened men lost no time
in seeking for safer quarters.
st. Mary's was reached about 4
o'clock In a short time active prep
arations were going forward for the
protection of the town. The women
and children were put in the places Of
greatest safety, and men were detail
ed to watch for the enemy's approach
from all quarters.
The Indians did not attack the place
that night. But on the following
night they came, expecting, no doubt
to find it an easy prey to their muir
derous methods Of warfare. But In
this way they were mistaken. The citi.
zens Of the little town opened fire upon
them so briskly that they were taken
by surprise, and they made a rapid
retreat, leaving several Of their num-
Der behind them, dead and wounded.
John found himself hero; but he
bore his honors modestly, as the real
hero always does. II only did what
anyone else would have done in my
place." he said.
The day after the attack Of the In
dams, Mr. Sanford and his family and
other settlers arrived Hugh had over
taken his father when near the end Of
the thirty miles journey. Mrs. San
ford was so frightened at the thought
Of the danger John had braved, that
she would not listen to the proposal
Of her husband that she should stay
with her friends and let him go to St
Mary's to find out whether the boy
had succeeded in his daring undertake
ing, so they all came together, and the
family reunion was complete.
presume the world has never heard
Of this frontier hero Of mine before.
But I am glad to tell his story, and to
assure you that in telling 1t, have
not been obliged to draw on magma
ton. John Sanford still lives on the
old farm in Minnesota, and there
met him last summer, and found out
all about his boyhood bravery. But I
found it out from others-not from
him.-MOntreal Family Herald.
