Tribute to the Nobility of the Medical
 Profession.
 To enter the medical profession is te find oneself in most noble company. When Dante was led by Virgil into the presence of "the master of them that know. he saw Aristotle surrounded by a group of the sages of antiquity. Look at them as they are introduced one by one. and you will see that fourth of them bear names illustrious in medi- cine. To take note of but one-iiipnoc- rates Is there The student will not turn to his pages now to learn what has to be taught in modern text books or class rooms Yet he will do well to lay to heart the spirit that guided sthe father of medicine in drawing up the oath imposed on the students of the Hippoeratie school. .sNith purity and with holiness the candidate was nude to swear. T Will rass my life and practice my art Into whatever houses enter viii go into them for the benefit of the sick. Will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption
 In tue long succession If those who have enlarged the bounds of his sci. ence the student will meet with a great army of men who have kept the spirit of that oath under higher sane tiens than were open to the pioneers whom the mediaeyal poet eonsigns to a place in his inferno because. though blameless of sin, they had not been baptized.-Sir Alexander Simpson in London culver.

Save the Birds.

The Texas Audubon society has Just
issued an appeal to the people of that
state to insist upon effective enforce
ment of the laws for the protection of
the birds and wild animals, asserting
that at the present rate of destruction,
unless something effective is done
within five years, there will be no
birds or wild animals left to protect.
The address emphasizes the necessity
.of enforcing existing laws rather than
of passing more laws. The occasion
for this address seems to be the rapid
increase of immigrants who are dis
posed to kill every bird that flies,
either through ignorance of the law
or disregard of its penalties.
This warning is a timely one, and
is in line with the experience of Penn
sylvania and other states in their at
tempts to protect the birds and game.
Fortunately in Pennsylvania the law
against the indiscriminate slaughter "f
song birds is usually enforced. The
pot hunter with his gun is quite as
prone in Illinois to killing robins and
f1ickers as in Texas, but our game
wardens have made this a very costly
form of law breaking by rigorous in
Fiction of fines. The man who has
paid a fine for slaughtering a robin is
not likely to do it again. The result
has been a perceptible increase Of song
birds, robins, thrushes and other song
birds of our own section.
IndiscTiminate bird slaughter can De
halted in any commonwealth whenever
public sentiment demands it,
Game laws will not enforce them
selves anywhere, but game wardens
that make it costly to shoot the birds
can put an end to their slaughter in a
very brief period.

Mrs James A. Richardson of Balti-

Empty Stocking club, which will bring
joy to many childish hearts this Christ

stockings that otherwise would be in
danger of remaining empty on Christ

feet of their owners were slipped into
them, and what child wants to I'LL his

the plans for the benefit Of their less
fortunate brothers and sisters.
To the girls of the auxiliary has been
intrusted the task Of dressing the 1000
and odd dolls that have been purchas-

circuses and other stunts" the pro-
ceeds of which are to go to swell the
fund for the giant Christmas tree.

Accidents VIII Happen.

1t is said that Illinois has the best
mining laws of any state And yet
accidents are constantly happening.
Aside from the terrible accident at
Cherry. the number killed in the mines
during the past year foots up a hor-
rible total. In many cases it is hard to
fix the blame. Admitting the selfish
ness of the mine operator that same
self1shness prompts him to try and
avoid accidents Admitting the risk
in the work, that same risk prompts
the miner to be careful.
There must be blame somewhere.
1T is a matter for careful legislative
investigation and the enactment Of
new laws, if necessary, to still farther
protect both life and property.
The value of the coal industry can
not be estimated in dollars and cents
and it must be conserved in the best
way for its further advancement and
for the protection of all those engaged
in it.

circuit judge in Missouri and comm1s-
sioner of the state supreme court.
Perhaps the most spectacular event
In the congressional career Of Judge
De Almond was his personal encounter
on the floor of the house after ad-
journment with John Sharp Williams,
his rival for the leadership of the
minority.
The two men had been at odds for
years. They kept up an appearance
Of amicabIe relations in the business
affairs of the house, as both occupied
places as floor leaders of the minority.
One afternoon in December Williams
took seat beside De Almond and be-
gan to discuss the matter of a COM
mittee appointment of one of De Ar
mond's colleagues from Missouri. There
was a misunderstanding, Williams in
sisting that De Almond had consulted
him about an appointment. De Ar
mond insisted that no such converse
ton as Williams sketched had taken
place. but Williams said that he would
think his own way about it.
IF you repeat that statement 1 shall
have to brand it as a lie," said De
Almond in his cold, imperturbable way.
II do repeat it." holly returned VIII
liams.
Then you are a - Harw rasped
out De Almond.
You don't mean that, judge" said
Williams.
Eyes, do said the determined De
Almond. You are - liar!'
Both men were now standing. Will
liams struck out and landed squarely
on De Almonds nose. The latter re-
piled with a blow that cut a cash IN
der Williams eye. They clinched, and
the crowd of congressman and at
taches that had run up separated the
two men. Both were small and light,
and little damage was done. There
was talk of a challenge. but friends
induced them to let the matter blow
over.
Judge De Armand was student. and
his manner in debate was that of a
man who cared more for the truth and
logic of his reasoning than for stirring
the enthusiasm of his listeners.

The Citizen and Politics.

In recent address Seth Low Of
New York declared that if every citi-
zen did his duty and manifested rea-
sonable interest in politics there
would be less Of incompetence and
corrupt practices in our cities. Discus
sing the abstinence of the average citi-
zen from political matters, the Lowell,
Mass, Courier-Union says:
zone reason, and perhaps the only
reason, why politics gets into SO I'M
satisfactory state, is the fact that to
most men it is so often a thing en-
tirely apart from their own lives and
activities. 1t is turned over to the
few men who will give time to it, and
who frequently derive all their liveli-
hood from it. The ordinary man, who
is still necessary to the scheme, IS
generally content with voting two or
three times in year at stated inter
yals-and that is about all he ever has
to do with politics. He doesn't like
the way things go, as rule; but ae
persists, just the same, in letting the
business be run by a petty oligarchy.
He himself takes no real part in poll
tics at all, and only plays the game
according as the party management
frames it up for him. Occasionally.
when the deal framed up for him IS
too raw to be endured, he kicks over
the traces and votes for the other fell
lows game-thinking thereby to re-
bulze' his own party machine But to
think of getting at the evil directly

root of it?

pushed unceremoniously aside by q
portIy man. who was eager to ex-
! change Il banknote for the ticket which
was being stamped.
That's your train on the outside
track" the agent called warningly.
Better hurry"
AS this advice was accentuated by a
sharp "All aboard" and a rush of n
few belated passengers toward the
outside track. Bates snatched up his
hand bag and sprang forward.
"Whew, that was certainly a close
connection he said grimly as he
swung himself on the rear car of the
moving train. IF l keep on at this
rate I'll get through in time for the
sale. and that will mean a thousand
dollars in my pocket. Lucky l thought

The pariOr car was full, so Bates
went on until be found a seat with a
loquacious. insistent hotel runner. Just
across was a bright looking woman in
a plain travelling suit. and he glanced
at her with sudden, half recognizing
inquiry.
But a traveller is always running

AZ Columbia he spent the ten min
utes In a forced defense Of politics
and at Charlotte was glad to leave his
companion and join the rush toward
the railroad restaurant. AS a general
thing he avoided such places. There
were apt to be poor food and service,
and not infrequently one was served
so late that he could only snatch few
mouthfuls before it was time to hurry
for the train.
But here he was agreeably disap-
pointed. and when he went to the desk
near the door to leave his % cents it
was with feeling of satisfaction at
not having been imposed upon. Out
side he looked at his watch. 1t still
