LINCOLN THE ATHLETE.
aow the Youths Bodily vigor Stood
Him In Good Stead.

aovv the Youths Bodily vigor Stood
Him In Good Stead.
Young Lincoln's bodily vigor stood
him In good stead in many ways. In
frontier life strength and athletic skill
served as well for popular amusement
as for prosaic toll, and ut times, indeed,
they were needed for personal defense.
Every community had rs champion
wrestler, o man Of considerable local
Importance, in whose success the
neighbors took becoming interest
There was not far from New Salem a
settlement called Clary's Grove, where
lived a set Of restless, rollick!ng young
back woodsmen with strong liking for
frontier athletics and rough practical
jokes. Jack Armstrong was the leader
Of theSe and until Lincoln's arrival had
been the champion wrestler Of both
Clary'G Grove and New Salem. He and
bis friends had not the slightest per-
sonal grudge against Lincoln; but,
hearing the neighborhood talk about
the newcomer and especially O1fut's
extravagant praise Of his clerk, who,
according to Offut's statement knew
more than any one else in tho United
States and could beat the whole coun-
try at running, jumping or "wras-
Ting" they decided that the time had
come to assert themselves and strove
to bring about trial of strength be-
tween Armstrong and Lincoln. Lin
coin, who dlsapproved of all this wool
ing and pulling" as he called it, and
had no desire to come to blows with
his neighbors, put off the encounter as
long us possible. At length even his
good temper was powerless to avert 1t,
and the wrestling match took place.
Jack Armstrong soon found that he
had tackled man as strong and skill
full rs himself, and his friends, seeing
him likely to get the worst of 1t,
swarmed to his assistance, almost Sue
ceeding, by tripping and kicking, In
getting Lincoln down. At the unfair
ness of this Lincoln became suddenly
and furiously angry, put forth his en-
tire strength, lifted the pride Of Clary's
Grove In his arms like n child and,
holding him high In the dir, almost
choked the life out of him. 1t seemed
for moment as though general fight
must follow; but even while Lincoln's
fierce rage compelled their respect his
quickly returning self control won their
admiration. and the crisis was safely
passed.
Instead Of becoming enemies and
leaders In q neighborhood feud, as
might have been expected, the two
grew to be warm friends, the affection
thus strangely begun lasting through
life. They proved useful to each other
in various ways, and years afterward
Lincoln made ample amends for his
rough treatment of the others throat
by saving the neck of Jack Armstrong;
son from the halter In memorable
trial for murder. The Ciary's Grove
"boys" voted Lincoln 1.-THE cleverest fel-
low that ever broke into the settle
ment," and thereafter took as much
pride In his peaceableness and book
learning as they did In the rougher and
more questionable accomplishments Of
their discounted leader.-Helen Nicolay

DOCTORS FEES.
A Medical View OF the Charges and
Work of Physicians.

A Medical View OF the Charges and
Work of Physicians.
The law of supply and demand regu-
lates medical compensation to very
great extent 1t is a natural phenome-
non, over which neither the professor
nor the laity have much control. Where
there are many physicians Of equal
ability competition grinds down the
fees. If the income drops below living
expenses the least successful leave the
community or take up other means of
getting bread and butter. The fittest
survive, and In every locality the COM
position of the profession is In state
of constant flux-never the same from
year to year and constantly regulating
Itself to the work to be done. When
man develops exceptional skill his serv-
Ices are demanded more and more.
They are bid up by competitors on the
other side, He is, indeed, compelled to
raise his fees to prevent overwork,
strange as that may seem. He would
not be doing his duty by his patients If
he tried to treat hundred day, and
that many would crowd his offices II
his fees were 25 cents. 1t is also fact
that surgeon can DO more now than
over before-a few can do wonders as
compared with the surgeons of a CEN
tury ago-and they receive more In pro-
portion by the operation Of natural
law. How they gained this ability is
immaterial to the question. Indeed,
not all have ability to profit by fortui-
tous opportunities to learn SURGERY

the weight was increased tenfold. Oft
en- the men would be hardly able to lift
the things to be turned on the ma
chimes. While the specifications pro-
vided for the highest classes Of work,
the fixtures were turned out in the
easiest way. French moulding was
stipulated, but plain ordinary castings
were deemed good enough. Everything
possible was done to cut down the
expense. Underwriting was avoided,
and often castings were made and the
chasers did the rest with their TOOLS"
