Medicine and Law.

Medicine stands in this strange con.
trast to law, that while the public is
clamoring for the lawyers to advance
the lawyers themselves as a class
offer the chief resistance The med.
icaI procession constantly outstrips
and leads the public Imagination IN
devices to check disease. Although
much at the start was due to laymen.
the campaign against tuberculosis,
against infant mortality, against ma
larial and typhoid fevers, is largely
captained and manned by doctors, who
have the hearty support of the profes
sion as q whole. OF two Rip Van
Wrinkles awakening today the physi-
clan would find his old methods as
rust eaten and useless as his instru-
ments. The lawyer, after a few hours
with new statutes, would feel at home
in aEy Of our courts.--G. NJ. Stratton

A crueI lnlustIee 70 MaoNah.

One morning at breakfast, when
Dominic Thompson, the tutor, was
present, Sir Walter Scott was going on
with great glee to relate story Of the
Laird Of MacNab, 'who, poor fellow"
promised he, ''is dead and gone"
"Why, Mr.. Scott" exclaimed his
good lady, "MacNab's not dead, is heP'
"Faith, my DEAR" replied Scott, with
humorous gravity, IF he is not dead
they have done him great injustice, for
they have buried him"
The joke passed harmless and unno-
hced by Mrs. Scott, but hit the poor
dominic just as he had raised cup of
tea to his lips, causing a burst Of
laughter which sent half the contents
about the table.-Dyer in "Great Men
at Play"

Gallant Claude puvsl.

Claude Duval, the gallant robber of
mems purses and ladies' hearts, was
of French extraction. Duval became
so rich with his Ill gotten gains that
he was enabled to retire from the pro
fession and return to France But a
quiet life. free from the excitement
OF his old career, did not agree with
his adventurous spirit He returned
again to England and resumed his avo.
cation. At length be was captured at
the Hole in the Wall. in Chandos
street.
While in prison awaiting his doom
many ladies Of position visited him
and endeavored to obtain his release,
but justice was lnexorable, and he
was hanged at Tyburn in January.
1910. His epitaph in St Pauls church,
COvent Garden, speaks Of him as "Old
Tyburn's glory, England's llustrlous
thief" and tells US:
Here lies Duyal. Reader. II male thou
art,
Look to thy purse; If female. to thy
heart
Much havoc has he made of both.

sIpnInu the Pledge.

New York is a town Of pledge sign
ers," said a transplanted Bostonian.
people sign pledges to refrain from
about every vice and pleasure known
to the human race. Pledges striking
a death blow at intemperance and pro
family, Of course, are most popular
here, as elsewhere, but they are only
the top liners in a varied list of absti-
nences.
During my six months residence IN
New York have been approached by
emlssaries from humane societies, bo-
tanical and horticultural societies, pa.
triotic societies, physical culture clubs
and every kind OF benevolent institu-
ton the town affords, asking me to
pledge myself to refrain from doing
any Of the things those organizations
condemn. At pledge headquarters they
even attempt to regulate your literary
and musical tastes by obtaining your
promise not TO read certain books or
listen to certain kinds of music. No
matter how frealUish a pledge may
seem to the average citizen It finds
hundreds of supporters, and as all
pledges really tend to regeneration 1t
is not unnatural to expect the millen-
mum to strike New York most any
day."-New York Times.

The Discovery Of Iron.

The stone age, bronze age and iron
age so overlap one another 1t Is i'm
possible to say just when one begins
or ends. Men began to use both bronze
and iron long before stone had ceased
to be used In fact America was in
the stone age so late as its discovery
by Columbus 400 years ago 1t is safe
to say that history proper and the
iron age were born together anywhere
from 5000 to 10000 year ago. 1t is
more than likely that men gained their
first information concerning the prop
critics of iron through experiments with
the pieces Of it that had fallen from
the sky in the shape Of meteors.

oRPHANS IN AUSTRALIA.
They Are All Wards Of the State ane
Carefully Protected.

Carefully Protected.
There are no orphans In Australia
That Is not because parents never die
there, but because when they do the
state at once steps In to the rescue OF
their little ones. Children who have
been robbed by death Of their natural
protectors are practically adopted by
the government.
Unless some near relative manifests
a desire to assume the responsibility
and can demonstrate his ability to do
so the child is committed to the chill
dren's council, which selects some
home among the farmers of the coun-
try. These foster homes are examined
closely, and often two or three are
tried before one is found in which the
child finds congenial surroundings.
After thirteen the state feels that its
ward should earn more than board and
lodging. At that age, therefore, he is
hired out, usually, however. to the fos-
ter parents who have been previously
taking care OF him. Three-fourths Of
his wages are deposited In savings
banks; the remainder is HIS. When he
becomes Of age or If he wishes money
In order to learn a trade OK to attend
a more advanced school-oS. in the
case Of girl, when she wishes to
marry-the savings are turned over to

In Rome, in the golden age, a laborer
cost only 500, and sometimes, after a
great victory and an influx OF captIves
into the capital, it was possible to buy
strong, capable slaves for 50 apiece
Skilled slaves, men with trades,
brought higher prices. Cicero paid
$1,000 for a scribe. Catiline had

was worth $780, a blacksmith $3.50, an

MR.. WILSON'S WAY.

1t Is strange thing President Will
son has done in sending the Secretary
of State from the seat of government
to one of the States to confer with
the Governor thereof and the Legis-
lature.
But President Wilson is given to
doing strange things and will prob
ably do many more before his term
expires.
1t is not known that the dignity Of
the office loses anything by Mr..
Bryan's trip. 1t was not held that
any dignity was lost when Secretary
of State Knox went on various jaunts
at the country's expense, ostensibly
on official business, even taking a
public servant along to shave him.
If Mr.. Bryan's trip to California is
fruitful in restoring calm and per-
haps showing up the niger in the
wood pile" of the whole agitation,
which it is hoped will be done, the
end will have justified Mr. Wilson S
unusual proceeding.

CONGRATULATIONS

There were only three votes in the

to the franchise granting the Ham
mond, Whiting & East Chicago Rail-
way company the right to an extern
sion of its line on Holman street.
1t is expected that these three nays
will be changed into yeas when the
franchise is called up for final pass
age tonight. The passage of this
franchise means:
/. The addition of 1000 people
to the Ave cent fare limit of Ham
mond and the addition of 1900 more
to the ten cent fare limit.
g The abandoning of the free
bus system which is a great expense
and a tremendous liability to the
merchants who run them and will
place the small merchant on an equal
basis with the large one in COMPETE
ton for the country trade.
8. The opening up of hundreds of
fine productive acres for residential
purposes making it possible for the
workingman to buy property at a
reasonable figure.
4. VIII place beautiful picnic
groves within a five cent fare Of some
900 people and will open up Gods
great out-of-doors to the tired city
dweller.

iof produce in the city of Hammond

Missouri, sitting en- banc, will decide

fishing that Judge Joseph A. Guthrie,
of the Circuit Court, had refused to
dismiss divorce action until attor-
ney's fees were paid.
Charles A. Grow, commissioner in
the case, has reported to the Court
recommending the discharge of Mr..
Nelson on the ground that the article
was substantially true; that mistakes
are not evidences of malice and that
lin holding different views from a
Judge a writer is within his rights.
Mr.. Crow says
Every person has the right to
publish his understanding of what
a Court has decided and to differ
with the Court as to what the law
is, and also to criticise the law, as
long at least as the citation does
not attempt to impugn the motives
of the Court or to charge corrup-
ton or infamy and thereby attempt
to bring our courts into disrepute."

cism Those learned in the law arc
