An elderly man walked leisurely
into a drug store to have a prescrip-
ton filled for some trifing complaint.
Receiving from the druggist a little
box of about a dozen pills, he was
called upon to pay about three or four
times what he thought he should. The
money was paid without a murmur
and in silence, but, stepping on a few
feet from the counter, he slow
ly scanned every corner OF the store.
almost every shelf of 1t, and the sales
man, supposing he wanted something

oid-Timers Had Little Difficulty In
Entering Profession.

The young mar who wants 10 be a
lawyer nowadays has a much harder
road to travel than he who wished to
adopt the honorable profession in
days gone by. AS a rule, he has to
take a several years course in one Of
the law schools Of the state, then pass
the state bar examination. which is
not planned to fill the profession with
blockheads. Formerly" said Mr..
John P. Poe, nov the oldest instructor

former attorney general, "all a young
nan had to do was to read law in
some lawyers office. Then he went
before the examining committee,
which asked him a few questions.

lawyer under whose guidance his
studies had been pursued. These
questions, as a rule, were kept In the
pigeonhole of the judges desk. and II
the aspirant for professional honors

Excellence and Greatness.

In art, as in all things, a certain null
ance--an abyss-separates excellence
from greatness. At the Trippenhaus-
en- in Amsterdam, you see upon enter
ing a great picture by a master whose
name escapes me; 1t is excellent. You
applaud. Turn round-that is the
Night Watch, 1t is Rembrandt. You
utter a cry. There is greatness. Ex-
cellence has vanished. You cannot
even look again at the other painting.
Greatness In arts is only obtained at
the cost Of a kind Of adventure. The
conquered ideal is the prize of au-
dacity. He who risks nothing gets
nothing, The genius is a hero.-From
Victor Hugo's Intellectual Autobiog-
