Rev. Davis has been very helpful in
the religious meetings at the college dur

cited In this character with impressive
pathos by Hipparchus, II OF the sew

had been subjected to severe fortunes
they were at last confronted with sew

offered them a last chance to recant.

on his bald head and cried, "As this,

A Custom of OId-Time Doctors In q
New England Town Explained.

A Custom of OId-Time Doctors In a
New England Town Explained.
Up in a New England town there is
a medical society which is of sixty
years standing and has the custom Of
meeting on the Thursday before the
full of the moon. Recently some OF
the younger members tried to change
the time Of meeting to the third
Wednesday of every month.
Three Of the Oldest members rose up
and protested. They gave the reason
for the peculiar arrangement.
when this association was formed
said one of them, there were no cleo
trio lights and good roads the way
there are now. The society took in
the whole county, and it was often a
difficult matter for the doctors who
lived in the country to drive home at.
ter nighfall.
$50 we called the moon to Jul aid
and set the date for the Thursday be-
fore the full of the MOON. It is bright
moonlight at a s~easonable hour then
and the doctors could see their way
home.
II know there is no necessity for
such an arrangement now, but this
will seem like a new society II We do
not meet the Thursday before the full
Of the moon"
