grand success. The attendance
surpassed the most sanguine ex-

packed to the doors, but the crowd
was good natured and everyone
seemed bent on having a, good time:
Along the sides of the hall booths
were arranged in which attractions
of various kinds were accommodated.
The first booth contained a tish
pond, the second freaks of nature,
the third curios from all lands, the
fourth contained q fortune teller
and the fifth was occupied by Uncle
Sam, and Columbia. At another
sweets OF all kinds were dispensed
by bevy Of still sweeter young
ladies. On the stage a programme
of specialties was presented, which
included some very excellent
numbers. Songs, drills and feats o.

D., where he has received an ap-
pointment as chief surgeon in the
Lady of Lourdes Hospital, and he
will also act as consulting surgeon
to the Hot Springs Cancer sani-
tarium and the Perry Nichols hospi'
tai. Hot Springs is rapidly be-
coming one of the most famous
health resorts in the United States.
The Federal Governmen is COM
pleting q, 900. 900 hospital for it's
disabled soldiers and sailors, and
many other hospital and sanitariums
are in operation there. In this new
field DIR. Walker will find opening
for his skill that will no doubt land
him on the top rung of the ladder
in his profession. He is a young
man of remarkable ability, and has
already achieveda measure OF fame
that falls to the lot Of but few men
at his time of life. During his
residence In Worthington he has &C.
quired q host of fiends, who, while
deeply regreting his departure, will
wish him every success in his new
location. 49,

There are certain nations that have
the quality OF vulgarlty strongly in the
blood, and indeed 1t seems to testify
to a strong and fun blooded vitality, a
desire for self assertion, and thus We
may expect to find vulgarIty logging
like a shadow the footsteps OF strong,
capable and pushing nationallties. But
there are certain nations that have
been accused OF many faults that yet
have never been accused Of being vul-
gar. The Irish are a case In point.
They have been accused of levlty, OF
undue conviviality, of frivolity, OF
tendency TO romance, OF untrustworthi-
ness. Of responsibility, but they have
never been accused Of yulgarity. There
lies deep I'm the Celtic temperament a
rich vein of emotion. Il strong relish for
the melancholy side Of life. Ii Is on this
that their Incompatible sense Of humor
is based. and it may be said that no
one who feels at horne with melancholy,
who luxurlates In the strange contrast
between the possibilities and the per
formances of humanity, Is IN any dan
ger of yulgarlty, for one of the essen
tlal components of vulgariiy Is a COM
placent self satisfaction, and if a man
Is apt to dwell regretfully on what
might have been rather than cheerfully
upon what IL there is but little room for

quiet But sometimes they are too con-
fidential 10 please the relatives oil the
parties. The coercion Of prospective
brides under such circumstances Is

however. Is unusual. though he hap
pened at 81. Georges not long ago.
He was gentleman Of position, anu
he wished 10 marry lady who had
nursed him through an illness. There
was no cause or just impediment save
social rank The gentleman was de-
termined, and the lady seconded his
plans admirably But the day and the
details leaked out, aud before the time
fixed the bridegroom's male relatives
deployed strategically through Mad
dox street and surrounded the church.
He drove up in hanson cab. with
his eyes fixed IN the expectant bride,
he prepared to allght. An athletic I'M

thrust him back, with "Glad to meet
you, old fellow" manner that deceived

rection be heard and drove the three
away. The lady, with tears In her
eyes, went into the vestry. There
will be no wedding" she said.

He Obeyed Orders.

Sir Henry Roscoe tells this OF the
scientist Faraday and his assistant,
Sergeant Anderson: Anderson was
the sole assistant TO Faraday and OF
course was utterly uneducated in sclen-
tlflc matters, but he could obey orders.
which Is not always Il characteristic OF
an educated man. One day Anderson
was told by Faraday to keep stirring
pot containing some chemicals over
a fire until he returned, Faraday being
In the habit of going upstairs to tea In
his rooms and coming down directly
afterward to work in the laboratory
during the evening. For some reason
he was prevented from coming down
again and forgot that he had told An
derson to watch the pot. On coming
down the next morning he found An
derson still stirring the pot, having
been at IL the whole night and thus car
rylng out the order which was given
him"
