RI OF BIG N
Skill and Talent Command Greater
Rewards Than Ever in

In these days the surgeon who IL
master Of his science receives fees
which would have startledth the surgeons
and the public so years ago. A fee of
$4,000 is not uncommon for an op-
GRAFTON which can be performed in
comparatively little time. Of course,
$4,000 is not the maximum fee.
There are cases, 1t is stated, in
which as much as s25, 900 has been
paid. When life is hanging by a
thread the question of fees is i'm
material. The average man will give
all that he has, if required, to get a
new lease of life through the sur
geon's skill. A famous throat spe.
cialist was once summoned from
London to treat the father of the
present kaiser. He remained only a
few days after making a diagnosis.
He rendered no bill. but it is said
the German government gave him a
fee which represents half a years
earnings of the specialist, who had a
very large income from his profes-
sion. Even the literary mar receives
large fees for his work. MI. John

$4,000 to write the Life of Glad

wards than they do now. 1t is an era

"Ill not go home" once retorted a
young man who had received good ad-
vice from him.
"Yell not? returned Policeman
Flynn, in a tone of mild establishment.
"No, l won't; and I'd like to know

AS the policeman is an exceedingly
active man, who could jump high and
come down hard, the argument ended
there, and the young mar moved On.

his own-except when they are his
wife's. She has prompted him in many
Trays, has given him various valuable
suggestions when he stood in need of

That Policeman Barney Flynn is still
Fatrolman Flynn is due entirely to
himself. Others are patrolmen be-
cause they cannot be sergeants or lieu
tenants or captains; Flynn is one from
choice. He is probably the only man
on eth foorce" who, having been pro-
NOTED, has made a special and earnest
plea to be "ray-dooced to tn FRANKS"
as he himself put it. In this he is
unique, but in many other respects he
is typical of a certain class of police
men of whom the inhabitants of a city
hear little. He Is resourceful and hon
est; If he were not it is probable more
would be heard of him in the news
papers and the police reports. A few
rascally men on a police force can do
a world of harm to the reputation of
the whole body, and if they attain
high rank they can demoralize a good
part of it. Integrity is so important
in those to whom is intrusted the en-
forcement Of the law that there Is a
natural tendency to magnify the evils
that are seen to exist, and the depart
mant is gagged by the worst rather
than the best that is to be found in
it. The men of the rank and file, as
a rule, are faithful, earnest and rea-
sonably clever. So, if Policeman Bar
ney Flynn does not seem to you typ.
ical, you may rest assured it is be-
cause you know little of the police
departments Of the great cities. 1t is
the spectacular that gets in the lime
light of publicity, and faithfulness,
perseverance and honesty are not often
spectacular, SO we hear more of things
we admire less; and, hearing more of
them, we gain the idea that they are
the predom1nating features of modern
life.
True, Policeman Flynn may be more
resourceful than some of his brother
officers, and he may have more of
h~ard-headed common sense, but he is
no more conscientious than the great
majority of them. Like them he has
many faults, not the least of which is
a desire to have IS easy and comfort
able a life as possible, but he acts al
ways according to his best judgment,
and he defends his acts with rare
philosophy when they are assaulted.
For instance, it might be charged
against him that he has made fewer
arrests than any other nan of his
length of service, and this would carry
weight in quarters where a policeman's
usefulness Is Judged solely by the
number of prisoners he brings in.
But there are men of experience who
will insist that this Is not a true gauge
of merit, and Policeman Flynn is one
of them. He does not like to make ar
rests; he does not deem it necessary
in instances where others do.
""Tis a nuisance" he says, "to be
dhraggin' ye-er man to tn station an
thin be afther gettin' into coort tn
mex day to prosecute him. Sind him
home whin We can; that's me wa-ay Nv
doin' it. IT'S easy done If he have

years had a night beat in a district

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fneness Of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
Ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its grest-
er strength than other makes.
