Ruskin on Doctors, Eeea.

The problem Of the doctor and his
fee was admirably stated by Ruskin
In his Grown Of Wild Olive" Writing
Of doctors, he said: They like fees. no
doubt-ought to Ike them yet if they
are brave and well educated the entire
object Of their lives is not fees. They.
Oh the whole. desire TO cure the sick
II they are good doctors and the
choice were fairy put to them would
rather cure their patient and lose their
fee than Kill him and get H. And 50
with all other brave and rightly trained
men their work IS first. their fee sec
ond-vcry important always, but still
second. u London Standard.

BREAKING THE BANK.
A Feat That lie No Longer Possible a.
Monte Carlo,

Monte Carlo.
Among the classic system players
who gained great sums at Monte Carlo
was Charles Wells, Rdventurer and in
ventor. who went to Monte Carlo with
the money OF other people. to win or
lose 1t all" in testing his great idea. He
played. also on the simple chances,
modification OF the famous method OF
D'Alembert, the great mathematician.
Wells began with Il stake OF ten units.
decreasing TO nine II he won, but In
creasing to eleven If he lost. His game
was kind of swinging Of the pen
dulum, going up one way to twenty
units and the other down to one.
For time he contrived to prosper so
Sensattonally that the tables at which
he played had occasionally TO stop for
n few minutes until more money was
brought. This was breaking tho
bank" and gained Wells the honor OF
becoming the hero OF popular music
hall song.
Nowadays. however. no successful
player can have the thrilling Joy OF
breaking the bank. AS soon as 1t Is
seen that one gambler or more may
reduce the funds of a table TO a low
ebb more money is unostentatiously
brought by one Of the footmen, and
play never stops for an instant
Charles Wells figured IN the criminal
courts of Paris, where he boosted he
had won 800, 900 from the casino
