If. on the other hand, he chooses to be a nobody. to throw himself away, he can do it, and get help to enter the paths. that lead. through likeness, profanity and dissipation, to destruction.

FatefuI Breach of Etiquette.

Under the third empire in France Sainte- -Beuve brought disgrace upon himself because at breakfast at the Tuileries he carelessly opened his napkin and placed it over his two knees. To this he added the crime of cutting his egg in two at the middle. Court etiquette prescribed that the half-folded napkin should lie on the left knee and the top of the egg was to be merely broken with the edge of the spoon and drained with the tip Of the spoon. For his failings in these respects Sainte-Beuve's name was stricken off the imperial visiting list.

Bluff and Stuff
By H. H. HUDSON.

Dr Bluff and Dr. Stuff practiced in the same city. Progress was slow. This was another phase of the situa- lion. They looked so much alike that identities were mixed.
 s.I say, Stuff said Bluff one day, '1 have a plan which will bring success. We will tear up stakes and enter a town of about 10000 population. will go ahead and engage an office. You will come on later and enter the town at night We will then take turns at the business. We are both lazy; but if 1 take the fore part of the day and you take the latter portion of the day, the town will see the great est doctor that ever lived.
 You know two heads are better than one, and a practice in town like that, with country drives thrown in, would kill one man, anyhow. We can dress alike. do little acting before the mirror and work the town Both of us will then make big toad in a small puddle. Besides, Stuff, 1 like you too well to work against your in- terests any longer"
 And so they agreed.
 The new doctor" was in town Bluff went at the game with a smile, backed up by all the nerve his little fat body could muster. He got a shave, and then drove about town for awhile to let people size him up. He then went to the office and pretended to be read ing a medical journal each time a stranger called. He next went to lunch. Upon his return he made few nasty notes of names and impressions, and, turning them over to Stuff, went to bed.
 Stuff took a turn He went down and got shave. The barber nearly fell in heap with surprise, but Stuff, realizing the situation, said that he had made a mistake and had washed his face with a preparation which had caused the skin to shrink thus making another shave necessary He then went to lunch. The waiter was aston iShed, but Stuff said he had been fast ing and that another meal was in order.
 He returned to the office, and after meeting some callers, went for drive
 The people awoke to the fact that hustler was in their midst They agreed, however, as time wore on, that the doctor was very much absorbed in his work-so much so, in fact, that he often failed to recognize those whom he had treated few hours be- fore.
 They forgave him, nevertheless, for he seemed to be successful in each undertaking.
