TIMES CHANGE
AND MEN CHANGE WITH THEM

The Color line is not often drawn
in England, but the Campbell poor
law guardians have declined to APP
point negro as district medical Of
ticer on the ground that the poor
were very fastidious in such mat
ters. 1t was admitted during the seS-
sions of the guardians that the black
doctors qualifications were better than
those of the other candidates and
some of the guardians wanted to
treat him as "a brother The major
ity of the guardians. however, sup
ported Dr.. Robert Caper, who opposed
the appointment of the colored phy-
stefan. In doing SO he said: "
an plain English he is a negro and
AS such is not suitable doctor for
posts Of this sort. The poor are a
great deal more fastidious than peo-
pie Imagine. They would refuse to
be attended by man of color"
Times change and men change
with them was a common observation
in the days of the Caesars. Over
three scores years ago the United
States was flooded with abolitioH
literature which had been sent TO this
country from England. Many yeas
before Old Zachary Johnson. father
of the great photographer, allowed
his own business TO get away from
him because he devoted most oil hIs
time and means TO the abolition
movement in America. His sou.
Samuel johnson, when in the zenith
uf his fame, wrote a pamphlet III
which he attempted to prove that tan
alton without representation was not
tyranny. In one of his productions
against the demands of the colonlse,
he said that 1.-THE yelps for liberty
were coming from people who wers
leading negroes.
Many years later Fred Dougla;
was received with open arms b. ths
people in England.
There has in our day been g notable
transition in feeling in the nothe
country towards colored people
Americans who visit London, notice
that no negroes seem to be employees
there. and from the statement mad
above they are persona non graf
when they appear as competitor
-ith others IN the professions.

men who counseled with him as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of investing in GER
tain mining stock was good. MIR.
Campbell said TO them. Don't buy
any mining stock unless you can af-
ford a total loss"
Investing or specializing in mining
stocks-put it either way you please
lis nothing more nor less than a
gamble. It IS placing money against
an uncertainty as much as buying a
pool ticket on a horse race and is
perhaps a more dangerous species of
gambling than betting on the ponies.

ing futures in wheat on the board Of
trade.
Few men who have had a little
loose money from time TO time can
not speak with experience of the
fascination found in the glowing rep
reservations of mining stock pro-
meters and in the workings of their
imaginations. stimulated by reports
from the mine. These reports are
marvellous manipulations Of the Eng

osition if forms a potential but in
conspicuous part Ii is the uncer-

possibility OF rich developments that
attract and hold and induce the stock
holder 10 put in a little more money.
Compared with investments that
may be made at home buying mining
stock is like throwing money at birds.
There is an element of sport in seeing
the birds dodge and the money dis
appear. but it is not business. 1t is
based on the false principle of the
get-rich-quick idea. which prevails
widely but rarely pans out.
If all the money that has been
wasted in mining stocks by South
Bend people and all the money they
have been induced 20 invest in other
outside enterprises had been Tut be-
hind legitimate projects at home all
of the investors would have been bet

would have been greatly advanced

Thousands Of people who had never
seen the man. read of the death OF
DIR. Robert d. Scott today with deep
regret. For the doctor. through his
How to Keep Weir column in the
News-Times. had brought himself in
20 close and familiar terms Of ac-
quaintance with his readers.
The mans attractive. fOrceful per-
sonality showed through his writing
and gave him a unique position in
many households as adviser and
friend
To the members Of the News-Times
staff who had met the man. regret was
deepened into a feeling Of sadness
and a sense of loss. There was some
thing so essentially cheerful and hope
ful and plucky and brave in this
crippled physician that had an ire
sistible appeal.
Robbed by a stroke of paralysis of
his chance 20 fulfill the promise he
gave OF being one Of the ablest ply
sicians in Chicago. DR.. Scott refused
TO be morbid or unhappy. He was
always ambitious. always hopeful that
ne would yet conquer the disease that
gripped him and could again take
an active place in the world.
If his restless active mind resented
the restrictions put on it by his Grip
pied body. he gave no sign of it.
Deprived of the ability to conduct
an active practice. he opened up a
wider field with the News-Times last
summer when he began to conduct
the column Of medical advice in this
newspaper. IN his writings he had to
take pains to see that what he wrote
was right and carried the stamp Of
authority, and yet on the other hand
10 avoid the danger of making his
articles SO technical as 10 fail 10 make
them valuable to the people he was
most anxious TO help. In this difficult
task he succeeded admirably.
The value Of his articles was rec
ognized by the St Joseph County
Medical association, when, after he
was stricken down again some two
months ago. the leaders of the pro-
fession in South Bend were glad to
continue the work for him in the be-
lief that he would yet be able TO re-
sumo his work. But the doctor left
the hospital a dying man and from
then on TO the end he fought a hope

AS TOLD BY AUNT GERTIE.
Chapter I.

Once upon a time there lived an
old. old man in a tumble-dOwn house
on the edge or a cliff.
He had no relatives. He had only
a few friends. But many people went
to see him out of curiosity. because
he often had strange tales TO tell them
and strange things to show them.
One day he was sitting all hud-
died over at his table. looking into a
long, narrow tube, which was made
partly of glass and partly Of bright
metal
He sat for half an hour quite quiet
ly. He seemed to see something in
that tube which pleased him very
much. While he sat there a neigh
Dor came in, saw what he was doing
"Cribbley Crabbley. what are you
looking at? What can you see? 1t
must be very interesting"
Cribbley Crabbley. for that was the
old mans name. turned from his work
for just minute and answered: "Oh.
take a look. take a look. I'll give
you three guesses to tell me what
you see!"
The neighbor was very much ex-
cited and very curious, so he sat down
at the table and looked through the
long, tube-like instrument.
"Oh, oh, oh. Oh" he shouted as
soon as his eye became accustomed TO
looking through the glass.
Il can see a whole city full of peo-
pie fighting like mad. Help Helpi
Can't we do something to make them
live in peace ?"
Let me look again" cried Cribbley
Crabbley. almost pushing the neigh
Dor off the chair so that ne might get
another glimpse of the scene.
