lines favorable to my purpose. Of
course, there, can be no set rule, for di-
recting a conversation.

physician did who in self defense was
accustomed to- enter the homes of the
patients where his rival had left medi-
cinss, seize the bottles, and throwing
them cut of the window, would inform
the awestricken beholders that he had
come just in time for the medicines that
his rival had left were deadly peisons.
He finds several other circumstances
hedging his profession which he had not
expected to find. He had been lead into
the common belief that doctor enjoys
a very independent career. He now
finds that on the contrary he is pretty
much g. slave to custom. He cam do
this and would seem unprofessional to
do that. It would be bad advertisement
to don chore clothes and do any tin
kering or painting about the house. It
doesn't look quite right to tend to his
own horse, and a slight odor acquired
therefrom might lose him a fastidious
patient. He shouldn't be too active a
politician, for people seem to suspect
the CRATER under the garb Of a poll
tician. He should not be too prominent
in any way outside Of his professional
interests in order to meet the ideals OF
an exacting public. It would be pro-
fessional suicide to publicly indulge In
the Turing cigaret, likewise should the
young doctor frequent the ostracized
barroom. He should always maintain a
professional attitude, as it were. He
must always dress neatly and yet con-
servatively, for a too fastidious attire
might cause the unappreciative to brand
him a snob. He should always be ready
to discuss topics pertaining to health;
and ever ready to listen to the private
woes of every sufferer he chances to
meet. His every movement should be
within certain limits as set by the Gus
tomary conception Of what a doctor
ought to do.
These and many other trials does the
young physician have to contend with.
I would, therefore, in closing, like to
question, ttWould you advise me to
study medicine9" IF you think that
you can derive enjoyment in the con-
tinual study and Investigation Of the
unlimited problems which still remain
discouraggingly enigmatieal, and in the

proficiency. If you can rise above the
demands made upon you in the strug-
giles for a livelihood to forgive the

the ungratefulness Of many Of those

A Remarkable Ride.

One of the most remarkable rides ever
made in automobile history was completed
al the Brighton Beach track several DAYS
ago when Charles G. Wridgeway, we'll
Known New York operator, finished ms sell

entire Journey and the motor did not stop
an instant during the long journey. rms
is taken as evidence that the automobile as
a factor for travelling is now perfected; for
the feat If accomplished on straight
road. would carry the driver from New
York to Chicago in less than twenty-tour
hours. something that only one or two OF
the fastest express trains are now able to
ACCOMPLISH MI Wridgeway's time for the
thousand miles was twenty-five hours and
fifty minutes, which beats the best pre-
vious record by more than four hours.
AT night he drove through Il lane OF req
lights fastened on the fences that inciosed
the course With him on the ride was Roy
Wasscn who did excellent work on the
motor when the occasion required, even
when the ear was travelling at an average
sreed of forty miles an hour.
still greater test of automobiles IS
promised for the Morris Park track on June
8 and 10 when there will be a twenty-four-
hour race open to the world. Most OF the

HUNTING CROCODILES


"One may talk of shooting big game,
handling the rod and line or following the
pointer and setter for small game, but II
you would know what real spot Is you
should go after crocodiles,' said r. j. john
son of Jamaica to Star reporter day or
so ago.
"One of the best forms of sport to be OBJ
tanned in Jamaica is stalking and shooting

crocodies in the more distant reserves of
Kingston harbor and at the mouths of the
Jamaica rivers, but they are exceedingly
wary. and q most cautious approach is nee
essary if one wishes to get close enough
for an effective shot Just as the lion has
his jackal and the shark his pilot fish, so
the crocodile is almost always accompanied
by a small plover. which perches upon the

of escape. Even if you 90 manage 10 shoot

AMONG THE OARSMEN
..a.as .saa@aaaassassas.sas .aas.aEa a.ass.ssa@.


a successful opening of the boating sea-
son in the north was conducted yesterday
on the Schuylkll. The annual regatta of
the American Rowing Association was the
event, more commonly known as the Amer
lean Henley. This association aims at
higher amateurlsm and is endeavoring to
put the eligibility code for the annual event
on u par with those of the English Hen
ley. 1t IS hardly probable that such will
ever take place in this democratic country,
but the association should certainly be
praised for attempting to elevate the anna
teur Carsmen
The local clubs received invitations to
enter the regatta, but although neither
were able to produce crew so early in the
year. yet clubs here are interested and anx-
ious to cooperate with the idea of unim-
peachable amateurism.
From now on until the closing on Labor
day the many regattas will keep the oars
men of the different cities always In train
ing and the multitude OF enthusiasts over
boating will be kept busy watching the
progress of this and that crew. Almost
every official in aquatics has prophesled the
most prosperous year that the sport mas
ever known for from all over the country
comes the news of the advancement OF
Craftsmanship.

LIGHT HARNESS HORSES.

sS:: !; :; e = "a; 't &c
The lovers of light harness horses, and
there are many of them in the national
capftal, are in state of unusual good
feeling just now. They are confident that
tbai. efforts to resurrect trotting and pae-
ing in this immediate locality have, after
y dismal period of nearly fifteen years
reached a point which gives promise OF
reward.
In times far back. before Tie running

were very popular here as elsewhere. Many
exciting contests of speed between mar
ness horses were witnessed on the old Ma
tional track then situated just opposite
the Government Asylum for the Insane
There such equine celebrities as the great
Dexter George NJ. Patchen, General But
Ter and others in their mighty struggles
for supremacy caused the blood of Daniel
Webster, Henry Clay and many other
famed statesmen of their day, noted men
of the army and of the navy and OF the
diplomatic circle, and thousands of per
sons less distinguished, to Jingle with cX-
citement and delight. And on what vas
known in those days as the Eslin course,
located on the old Eslin estate near where
Mt. Pleasant now stands, many hotly
fought races also occurred, WhlIe BflShl-
wood, the only remaining trotting track OF
the three, the National and Eslin having
gone out of existence long ago, furnished
much similar good entertainment. Later
the Ivy City track brought to Washing
ton such attractions as ]. I. c.. the little
wonder that for a time was the acknoWl-

Since that many attempts have been
made to infuse new life into the admirers
of trottng. and to rehabilitate interest in
the harness horse sport. one by one these
movements, started under promising sur
