The Study of Medicine.

The Study Of Medicine is the study
of man and of his relations to his en-.
vironment. 1t is the broadcast and
most useful of all the professions. A
skillfull physician can find opportun.
ity for the employment of his highest
skill in a howell as we'll as in q palace.
He is alike welcomed by the king and
by the peasant. The exactions of the
physicians calling are more severe
than those of any other profession. He
must bs content to hold all his pers n
al plans for pleasure, profit or recrea-
ton subject to the %exigencies of many
other lives as we'll as of his own, 81

An Outrageous Verdict.

A Darlington jury gave a YER
dict of $40, 900 damages for the
death of a young white man who
was riding on the top of a ca
boose car of a freight train. He
was a passenger on the train,
and should have been inside the
coach, where he would not have
been hurt when the caboose left
the track. The verdict was a
most outrageous one, and it
is surprising that it was not set
aside by the presiding Judge.
We believe the railroads should
be held to a strict accountability
for their acts, but they should
be dealt justly with, and it does
seem clear that in this case the
mans death was brought about
by his own act.--Bamberg lie
raid.
Yes, bro. knight, it is a true
Indictment, but in this day and
time prejudice too often forces
justice to shut UP and take a
back seat.

Expense of The Thaw Trial.

New York. April 12.--Esti
mates made today as to expen-
ses of the trial OF Harry X.
Thaw attracted nearly as much
interest as did the probable out.
come Of the long hearing. APP
parently authentic estimates in
dictate that the trial to date will
cost considerable over $500, 600.
OF this sum it is estimated that
probably 1926, COO have been
spent by the Thaw family,
while the state expense has
been about $50, 900. Thaw alien.
lists have cost, it is sal ;, $45,.
900, and his attorneys $40, 600.
TO Offset his expenses, jurors,
who have listened to the long
drawn out trial at the rate OF
two dollars per days are entitled
to only 1886 for their combin-
ed services If jurors pay is in.
creased to So per day, as has
been suggested, the expense
will be nearly triple.

The Doctors Here.

About forty of tae members of

spent Tuesday sight seeing in

The meetings we're held in the
Murohison School Auditorium,
Mayor Hodges in behalf of the
town welcomed the Association
and Rev. M. w. Hooks invoked
the divine blessing.
Every attention is being given
these representatives of the broad
est and most useful Of all profess
ions, to make their visit pleasant
and their stay among us n of
deserved recreation to all.
The social features of the meet
ing of course were the best. Swap.

become monotonous, and @ royal
banquet at the "Marlboro" and
q grand "Hop" at Crosland's Hall
pleasantly robbed the meeting of
any dullness. The music wes

The 0ostliness of Low Standards.

1t cost less to live up to Christ's
highest standards than to live by any
other standards yet discovered. For
living is costly, from any standpoint /;
but Christ's followers find that the
greatest cost is the least. The highest
cost ofdoing RICH. is always less than
the lowest cost of doing wrong. A
family that is making the struggle to
do right by living within the income
finds it a costly matter to give up
manga comfort and seeming ~necessi
ty of life. But such a family soon
learns that wrongIy.incurred debt
costs more than self.denial, as those
who have tried both plans can testify.
Whatever we pay out in doing right
is repaid to us tenfold. Whatever
we pay out in doing wrong is perma-
nent loss.
