HOW DOCTORS WORK.
Portsmouth On. H. Herald.

II
A New York paper publishes an
interesting account OF the way in
which a famous surgical firm adjusts
its charges 10 the means of its pa
tents, making those of abundant
means pay generously. while per-
sons of limited means are charged
only what they can afford to pay
and are not denied the services of
the surgeons because they are not
in control of swollen bank accounts.
The method of these men is illus
trated by the story OF their dealings
with very rich man and a very
poor woman. The former availed
himself OF their services and. with
out waiting for a bill, sent them his
check for $4,000. He felt that he
was dealing literally with them, and
he was. but they knew his circum-
stances. The check was returned
and in due time they presented a
bill for $4,000, which was paid.
Some time later a poor woman went
10 the same surgeons and was treat
ed by them. Her case was a serious
one. Before the operation was per-
formed she placed in their hands a
bank book representing all the prop
erty she had. The operation re-
suited in a cure, and when the wom-
an called for her bill she was told
that she owed nothing and was
handed her bank book aud a check
for $500. The surgeons told her
that she had permitted them to ex-
pertinent on her in a critical case
and that they and medical science
were indebted TO her.
While these are conspicuous cases
they illustrate a practice that IS
doubtless more common than is gen.
orally supposed. 1t is highly prob
able that IL is not confined to the
famous surgeons and physicians. II
is a fact that surgeons and physi-
clans. as a rule. have less OF an
eve 70 the main chance than men in
any other profession or calling.
They do their duty by those who
come under their care and accept
such payments for their services as
their patients are able TO make.
otherwise every physician having
even a fair practice would get rich,
and everybody knows that the aver
age doctor does not get rich. He
spends his life in the practice Of an
arduous profession, and a consider
able portion OF his pay consists in
the grateful knowledge that he has
contributed something TO the cause
OF humanity through the alienation
OF suffering for humanity's sake.
There is no nobler calling in the
world than the conscientious prac-
tice of medicine and surgery. The
doctors 20 about doing good. few OF
them stopping to consider the ques-
ton OF pay They do their work

MAKING LAW \ FARCE.
Portsmouth, n. H., Herald).


More than once this paper has
commented on the too prevailing
tendency TO convert the enforcement
of the law into a farce. Men who
ought to be sent to Jail are releas-
ed on probation, and many who are
landed behind the bars are set at
liberty before the expiration Of
their terms. 1t sometimes seems as
If all the forces Of the social ma
chinery are being exerted TO save
offenders against the laws from the
prescribed penalties for their mis-
doings.
And now comes a dispatch from
Philadelphia reporting a most fla
grant case of what may properly be
called "monkeying" with the law. A
boy IA years old was before the ju-
venile court charged with stealing
a FISH and a chicken and riding
away with them on a. horse which
he also stole. On this trip he had
the fish under one arm and the
chicken under the other The evil
dence was complete and the boy was
convicted in spite of the efforts OF
his counsel" whose only defense
was an attempt TO belittIe the per
fCrmance. He told the court that
this was simply a new form of 10y
ride" The judge said he couldn't
see much joy in that kind Of a ride
and then he and the boys lawyer
entered into negotiations The law
yer agrees 70 take the same kind
of a ride through one Of the city
streets if the judge would let the
boy go, and the latter assented to
the ridiculous proposition. A horse.
FISH and chicken were procured. the
lawyer strobe the animal and, with
the fish under one arm and the
chicken under the other. rode
through one Of the principal streets
the judge ano the young culprit hav-
ing taken a position in the crowd to
witness the silly spectacle When
the rider passed the judge slapped
the boy on the shoulder. told him
he was free and said he hoped he
would not get into trouble again.
This was all very funny. 10 be
sure. but what effect must such =
performance have upon a boy Of
4 years? He has seen a very Sc
rious matter turned into a joke, and
the effect can readily be imagined.
And yet there are those who con
tend that one Of the chief troubles
with criminal procedure in this
country is a lack OF statistics II
is nothing of the sort. The trouble
. maudlin sentiment and the dispo-
sItion 10 assume that the criminal ie
Just as good as anybody else il only
given a chance" If this bay had
been properly punished he might
have been reformed. If what was
done does not make him worse IL
will be a wonder.

 At this meeting the city beautiful commission was organized. The agen- cies agreeing to lend their efforts to the movement were the city govern. ment, the Rotary Club, the Twentieth Century Club, the Board of Trade. the Business Mems League, the Helena Art League, the School Improvement Association, the Helena Fair Associa- tion, the Boy Scouts, the Pacaha Club. the public schools, all of the churches of the city and in addition to these organizations the various ne- gro societies, churches, etc. have en- Enthusiastically interested themselves in the work

To Preuent Old Age
 Coming Too Soon :!

"Toxic poisons in the blood are thrown out by the kidneys. The kidneys act ns filters for such products. If we wish to prevent old age coming too soon and in- crease our chances for a long life, we should drink plenty of pure water and take a little Anuric." says the world famed Dr. Pierce of Buffalo. N. Y.
 When suffering from backache, ire quent or scanty urine. rheumatic pains here or there, or that constant tired. worn-out feeling, the simple way to overcome these disorders Is merely to obtain little Anuric (double strength) from your nearest druggist and you will quickly notice the grand results. You will find 1t many times more potent than lithia. and that 1t dissolves uric acid as hot water does sugar.
