THE MAN AND THE MOUSE.
A Tiny Gray Animal Starts Lively
Chase in Broadway.

A mouse got loose i'll Broadway
Sunday afternoon when its keeper
wasn't watching, and besides Great
ing a panic-bargain counter size
nearly tied up traffic for quar-
ter of an hour. The animals es-
cape from where it belonged was
coincident with the turning loose
of the matinee scared concert
crowds $50 o'clock or there
abouts. That's what ruade trouble.
There was nothing particular
about the mouse's appearance, ex-
cept its apparent great age and
evident determination; it was plain
ly a pig-headed animal, bent on
travelling in a straight line. 1t was
observed first at Broadway and
Thirty-seventh Street; to be exact,
on the west of Broadway, trying
to make fast time across Thirty
seventh Street.
Help, help" screamed a wo-
man.
The crow cleared a circle and.
behold there was the smallest and
grayest mouse ever seen-out of
captivity-head to wind, nose to
the pavement and heading north.
The animal seemed to grow angry
at the screams and laid back its
ears and continued on its course.
Somewhere back in the crowd a
man began to yell:
Where's me mouse? Where's
me mouse?"
The animal got to Thirty-eighth
Street on a bare sidewalk, crossed
that thoroughfare and was we'll up
to the Metropolitan Opera House
before the man in pursuit overlook
him. In the meantime scores had
got into the roadway, where cabs
pulled up and motormen shouted
for the crowd to let the cars go by.
Me mouse; me mouse" shrill-
cd the man, who elbowed every
body in sight out of his way oh,
he rascal There he is Only let
me lay me hands on you again, an
I'll teach you to run away"
The mouse did lis best to escape
from the tyrant, but in vain. The
hand, a yard in advance of its
owner, spread out like trap, and
Mr.. Mouse was gathered in and
in an inside pocket.
I got me mouse, painted the
captor.
The crowd closed in to the side
walk; bells changed; Cables CHR
ruped to their horses. and traffic
was resumed. Some paused to
watch a ragged man go down a
side street muttering inside his
coat to the truant.-New York
Times.

Money Insists on Respect

60 much for the romantic side of the question
~ land there is more of romance than is beleved);
but the practical side is the momentous one; and
the downright facts of the that money,
having done much, has won for itself position
that demands respect. The older ways of
money making had little in them that broadened
the view strengthened the intellect. Fortunes
were mostly obtained by small savings dull
adherence to routine. Nowadays, the truth is that
great gains. They take chances. They expert
ment and they dare. The of affairs have
their places beside the members of the learned pro-
fessons but the man of affairs and his affairs are
different, larger, giving him larger aspirations
and larger ideas
There hardly seems to be much reason to believe
that any lessenng of faith has changed the standing
of the clergyman. Probably greater number of
earnest believers exist to-day than ever before, and
decline of Christianity has much to do with the
decline in the influence of the clergy. The truth is
that in their position teachers the clergy have lost
place. Formerly they were accustomed to discuss
the questions of the day, and politics once

bar drew to itself almost invariably every young
of promise in the community. AS almost
every mother once wished her son to become minis
ter, later the desire of each to have made
him lawyer as the most honorable occupation to
be found. Nor this long ago. Indeed even
the great number of most classes in college go
into law.
OF the influences which are working a change in
the life of the country and change which brings the
professions into relations with the world, the
immense importance of commerce and manufacture
is undoubtedly the greatest. The merchant
always a respectable figure, the banker always held
great considerations but there existed the aristoc
racy of the professions to diminish their conse-
quence Now, with the great growth of business,
with a that goes to the ends OF the earth,
with methods of fnancering that must take into
account international questions the business man
has grown.
Many claim that the mere worship of money has
produced this change but this is hardly fair pre-
sentation of the case. In TRUTH the imagination
has something to do with it, and the attention is
held by the vastness of the interest involved Per-
haps quotation from English review of some
time ago. but still of date recent enough to have
the writer take cognizance of what is going on, WILL
well anything, express one view of the situa-
ton:
1t may be said that the millionaire the romantic figure
of the nineteenth century The hero who put flight by
his unaded proves whole armies of enemies to
interest We give admiration to the marvellous
being who from the retirement of his controls the
of the world and makes the clothing and food of
many cheap, or by preference dear.

Apotheosis of Trade and Finance

A Ii things considered the rise of trade and finance
has probably had more to do with what decline
and fall there has been the liberal trio than any
thing else. Another influence, however, has been
at work, and that is far removed in its nature
from the other is easily possible Trade and
finance have great estimation in the world; but,
singularly, while the practical arts have been coming
forward with such leaps and bounds, art itself has
taken a place. Literature has always COM
manded certain respect; but the consideration in
different from the consideration given Thacke-
ray and Macaulay, and if Thackeray and Macauay
living the places they occupied would be
still different. Literature may not be any greater
than it was, but it has to be accepted
thing more practical, and the world considers the
writer more as useful and helpful member OF the
community.
And with literature difference is to be observed
with art, art is generally understood, there is
far greater With the change that has come
over the spirit of the world the suggestion may be
made without fear of too great boldness that almost
renaissance has begun. Looking at the pic
and the illustrations of the middle OF the last
century the artistcally hopeless in the worlds
history-the age of Firth and of Cruikshank-one
must see the difference. AS considers human
existence as it pictured in the early volumes of
Punch he feels that it must have been prosalc,
uninspiring, plodding, painful kind of thing. The
world must certainly have been dull old place
then and the change is assuredy like a birth:
What has brought this about is not the question
here. Perhaps the advance in trade and finance
that has made other changes has made this possible,
and that with time and opportunity Tor new inter
ess these have arisen But truly the artist and the
musician and many calling having to do with the
an occupation-a handlcraft or a bra1ncratt-has
failed to advance in emouments and honors.
The truth is that for all of this may be
discovered in the increased strength of democracy

How the Lawyers Rose

THE rise of the legal profession in America came
about in another fashion. In the early loyal days
not much was heard of the lawyers but with the
Declaration of Independence, as a body they rose
at into Importance They were the natural
lawmakers, and in Republic they became at once
the natural laWgIVerS. They formed a real arIStOC
racy temporal aristocracy, as the clergy formed
spiritual one and together they created powerful
ruling class At the start the clergy the more
important; but the country grew, the material
conditions changed, the lawyers gradually took the
leading place During the middle OF the last century
the Senate gathering of lawyers. In the days
of Webster, of Clay, OF Calhoun, and many others
the Senate was an Upper House occupied almost
exclusively by lawyers, and the members formed
part of real aristocracy, and were almost accorded
the honors and privileges of one.
The state of medicine had been growing better,
though it had not attained yet to the proud
position held by the other professions. Indeed, it
may be said that medicine always the weak
sister in the past-the least considered of the three
But revenge is coming; for it IS the medical
profession that is drawing more to the front-that
is rising in public esteem while the others losing
their grip. From the first the doctor held really
place he held in England; but in standing he
did not advance with the members of the other
callings. There nothing to bring medicine for
ward as the religious enthusiasm of the Puritans
brought the church-not only in their church
but by kind of induction in all churches-or the
politics of the Republic brought the lawyer. Now,
however, new influences are at work. and medicine
is coming to much more than was ever its own.
And here the confession must be made that the
title of this article the I" Decline of Professions,
in reality has happened is that there hasn't been
much decline in the professions as that there has
come rise and increase of number of other
, occupations and interests The Importance of the
professions is great it was; but in the
variety of interests of modern life they do not
attract the undivided attention that they did.
They once stood as mountains; but with later
vulsions other heights have risen other proontoreS

Once hardly any other form of human endeavor
was considered. For young man of education
and ability starting in life in this country nothing
to be considered but of the three In the
early Puritan days the best youthful intelligence
was given to the church. In the last century the

helped to bring about the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF
medicine.
With its later achievements science has taken
place that it held before. It's victories have
been great and glorious that mankind has gazed
in amazement and grateful recognition of what its
reconcile successes of science are not the that
have gained the admiration of the world but those
that were more practical Anything that could
and make money in doing it, to be revered.
Science has been brought within the range of prac
teal politics, and constant spectacular achieve
ments have held out promises of more good things
to come,
The relation between science and medicine
between scientists and physicians-has always been
close, and the advance of the one has brought the
advance of the other. Science has held out to
medicine a helping hand and drawn it up into
higher place. The has aided the old, or rather
the has transformed the Old for the traditions
of medicine there have been greater changes than
in all the other professions, and medicine stands
never stood before.
