the less said the better. Perhapa after all it is only competition in professional garb, hut to many a man it is hateful, none the less. Many young physician suffers acutely and has his whole life em- bittered by the unkindness and hidden meanness of the co-laborers from whom he expected fair, square and generous association. If he is ambitious and tries to get ahead. the more venom meted out to him by his colleagues" If he is successful, the more assiduously his profession. al brethren wield the hammer. Most of it is absent treatment" and while rarely detrimental in the sense of affecting his material for- tunes. 1t does destroy the charm of his vocation and hurts him as a man. It is not right. Every doctor knows the difficulties and hardships of medical practice. If ever mans inhumanity to man is exemplified 1t is to the doctor. Too often his only fee and reward Is ingratitude. All this the physician knows. and 1t ought to bring him closer to his CO., worker and make the vaunted fra- .ernal spirit less the hollow sham 1t is. Maybe it will some day, but sometimes it seems a long way off.

 The scene was a brilliant and pic turesque one. The grand pavilion was surmounted by great golden eagle, glittering in the sunlight, and the curved balustrades were inscribed with the names of the American states. The stands surrounding the pavilion seemed almost buried with flags. bunting and evergreens. These were occupied by the federal and state ministers, the members of the various branches of the legislature and gov ernment officials, many of whom were accompanied ny ladies, whose gay cos tunes furnished vivid patches of color. Beyond the official inclosure masses of spectators grouped beneathed wide spreading trees and glimpses could be had of the harbor in the distance. with the battleships strikingly white against the blue of the water and sky. The brilliant uniforms of the Sl6Sa of hon. or from the Royal Australian artillery contrasted strongly with the plain col ! ors worn by the Americans.

 Early in the morning the Mahara- jah returned in his motor car with the dead tiger placed in the rear seat, the goat still hanging in the tigers mouth. So fast was the grip that the goat did not fall down, though the motor was run at full speed. It was a very strange sight to see the slayer and the slain driv- ing and driven together and the goat hanging in the jaws of the dead tiger.-Calcutta Statesman.

PROFESSIONAL MEN.

The unkindness of professional men in their relations with each other is proverbial. Why is this so, and particularly as regards medical men? Surely no men have deeper founts of sympathy or 'friendliness than doctors generally, and few have more kindly or generous dis positions. Some one has said, scratch a doctor and you are pretty sure to find a good fellow. But when it comes to analyzing his attitude to- wards his professional brethren

 board-sureing Thousands Filled the
 Streets to Cheer Our Boys.
 Sydney. Aug. q. Rear Admiral Sperry prevented the parade of the marines and jack tars of the American feet from becoming a serious fiasco. The law of the Australian common wealth is that no foreign soldiers. or sailors shall land on its soil with their weapons of war. The admiral could not allow the men to land without arms. and he persuaded the officials to let the men carry their weapons. pro- vided they went ashore without any ammunition.
 As a result the tars landed, every one was satisfied. and their parade through the streets of Sydney was glorious success.
 The men from the American ships made splendid appearance on parade. and they were wildly applauded by the thousands of spectators from Sydney and the neighboring cities.
 Sydney was aglow with life and col- or. and surging thousands filled the streets as never before. for this was the day set for the official landing and for Australia 10 publicly welcome the bone and sinew of the visiting fleet.

Huntinq Coyotes in Manitoba.

Hunting for young coyotes is all the rage here now.

Andrew Johnson left a modest for. tune invested chiefly in farm mill and country store in Knoxville and Greenville, Tenn.
 Lincoln was poor man when he joined the majority. Buchanan was well off and Van Buren died rich. In fact, Van Buren was so wealthy that he did not bother to draw his salary while he was in the White House, but allowed it to accumulate, paying all his expenses out of his own private purse and drew $10O,000 in lump at the end of the four years of his term.
 Polk, Fillmore and Pierce were all rich men, and left considerable prop critics when they died. Andrew Jack son was impoverished during the last years of his life by assuming the debts of his son, Andrew Jackson, Jr. At all events, his fortune was much reduced, though in his will he managed to leave at least one slave to each member of his family, including his infant grand children.
 John Quincy Adams died rich man. His will, which is preserved in the records of the District of Colum- bia, is of great length, and is notable otherwise in more than one respect It makes no mention whatever of the deity or of future state-a remarka- ble omission in those days-and it mentions the name of the testator as John Quincy Adams, doctor of laws. The title conferred by Harvard gave him great pride.
 William Henry Harrison, Benjamin's grandfather, left only a moderate es- tate. He was a man of very simple ways.
 James Monroe died poor. He was in debt when he left the White House, and, going to New York to practice his I profession of law, he made rather a failure of it financially.
 James Madison was pretty well off at the time of his death, but the money he left to Dolly was dissipated by a l worthless relative.
 Thomas Jefferson, after leaving the White House, lived for F years at Monticello, where he tried to be a farmer. The business was not proflta- ble and, partly by reason of the money | drain caused by an exuberant and never-failing hospitality, the author of the declaration was reduced in his old age to disagreeabe straits. He was relieved to some extent by the pur' chase of his library, for which con. gress paid him.
 When he died, George Washington was one of the richest men in Ameri- ca, being worth at least $500,00O.

New York.-They say that Grover Cleveland died comparatively poor man. like most of our presidents When congress meets law will be passed giving pension of $5,000 a year to Mrs. Cleveland. This annuity is always bestowed upon widows of presidents Mrs. Garfield is the only living beneficiary at present
 Cleveland was a poor man when he became president the first time. He made some money through real estate investments in the neighborhood of Washington. With the savings from his salary he bought Oak View, which he occupied for awhile as a summer home, and other suburban property. Then came boom in land values, and he sold at considerable profit. His purchases gave fashionable impor- tance to the localities where they were made and this alone made prices run up.
 MT. Taft is notoriously poor man. He has absolutely nothing more than his salary. But for the aid of his half-brother, Charles O. P, he would have been unable to make the can vass for the nomination.
 MT. Bryan was poor young lawyer at the time he made his famous speech in Chicago in 1896. which won Tor him presidential nomination. Since then he has been making money tast and is now credited with being worth $500,000. From the Commoner and his lectures he is reputed to re- ceiva In the neighborhood of $100,000 year. His candidates for the presi- dency have been very profitable for him. probably more so than even an election would be.

PRESIDENTS OF PAST.

MT Roosevelt will leave the White House in comparatively easy circum- stances and will add to the money he now has by magazine contributions and the writing of books. Just what he is worth is not known, but it is believed to be between $100,0OO and $200,000.
 William Mckinley left an estate worth between $40O00O and $500, ,OOO. By careful management under the di- rection of George B. Cortelyou, it's value was materially increased so that Mrs. Mckinley was more than we'll off in worldly goods.
 Benjamin Harrison saved money while in the White House, but was not a wealthy man at the time of his death. When elected to the presi- dency he was worth probably not more than $25,000. He lived simply while in the White House and saved more than $l00.000 during his four years occupancy.
 Chester A. Arthur was worth $200,- 900 when he died that amount being divided between his son and daughter; but it is probable that he was worth about as much when he entered the White House. He was the most lavish of our presidents in his expenditures, not hesitating to spend from $2,000 to 5000 on a single dinner, and it is not likely that he saved much during his term. His predecessor Garfield, died poor, but his widow was magnificently provided for by the nation, $300,000 being raised for her, while her pension of $5,000 year made it certainty that she should never want.
 Hayes, who spent the last years of his life in what he called delightful retirement" left his family well off.
 Grant, during his first term, got only $25,000 a year, but at the begin ming of his second term the pay of the president was raised to $50,000, and he had some chance to save little out of his salary Nobody seems to know how much he was worth when he left the White House.
