Held Hioh Rank as Physician.

DR.. Philip s. Physick. often called
'the Father of American Surgery" was
one of the most eminent physicians of
his day. ranked very high as a prac-
teal urgeon and was exceedingly
popular as a lecturer. His father. an
Englishman, had charge of the estate
of the Penn family. The son was
born in Philadelphia July z, 1888, was
educated for the medical profession
partly in that city and partly in Edin-
burgh, Scotland, where he was gradu-
ated with high honors. On his return
to the United States he began to prac-
tice in Philadelphia and soon won pro-
f~essional honors. In 1881 Doctor Ply

Dread Of Poverty.

A great deal of apparent poverty
comes from dread of poverty. A man
saves every cent and goes mind and
soul hungry and. ten to one he is
starving somebody else at the same
time, along with himself. He is really
poor, for the time being, although he
has a large bank account. Poverty
will come every time as the result OF
the improper attitude toward money.
Money is not a reality it represents
things that we consider for our good.
But there is no poverty like that OF
the starved soul that shrinks and
dries up into narrowness and compress
sion. In getting the feeling of
wealth, look about you. See all the
wonders of nature; believe that won
ders will happen and then get ready
for them. After the days work is
done, build air castles, and then go
In and lay a strong foundation under
one of them. Expect to develop into
efficiency necessary for the bigger job.
The key to this lies in your hands
in doing the little things well.-Pat-
rick Fenton, In the Nautilus.

KING ARTHUR's ROUND TABLE
Legend Of Sir calahad and the "Holy
CraaI" az Recorded BY
English Writer.

Sir Galahad Of Nennyson's "The
Holy Graal,' was the noblest and pur-
est knight of the Round Table. The
title was invented by Walter Map in
the "Quest of the Graal." Morley. in
his English Writer'S" says Sir Gala
had was the son Of Maps L'Ancelot
and Elaine. The son and namesake
of Joseph of Arimathea, Bishop Jo-
seph, to whom the holy dish was be-
queathed, first instituted the Order Of
the Round Table. The initiated at
their festivals sat as apostle knights
round the table. with the Holy Graal
in the midst, leaving n seat vacant
as that which the Lord had occupied
and which was reserved for q descen-
dant OF Joseph, named Galahad. What
ever man else attempted to sit In the
place of Galahad the earth swallowed.
It was called therefore the Siege
(seat) Perilous. When men became
sinful, the Holy Graal. visible only to
pure eyes, disappeared. On its recov-
cry depended the honor and peace OF
England, but only Sir Galahad, who
was at the appointed time brought to
the knights by a mysterious old man
clothed In white, and placed in the
Siege Perilous-onH the pure Sit
Galahad succeeded In the quest.

The first discovery Of gold In Aus

to be gold while tending his masters
sheep near where the town Of Ballorat
now stands. and took It to McAlister,
who submitted Il to the governor, Sir

The latter had II assayed. and found
that Il really was gold, but fearing q

were allowed to become known. he
kept his knowledge to himself. Mean
