counsel this morning to seven patients.
appeared at the door of the ante-rOom
TO signal to the eight, he was pal
pably astOniShed at the presence of
the young man who sat next to he
door. The Doctor was very hum.n !;
the Doctor was very adaptable; but for
thirty years he had managed to keep
the social and professional phases of
his life entirely apart, and at the very
first glance he was aware that Hill
lard hadn't come to consult with him
professionally. Nevertheless, he raised
his finger in the usual sign; billiard
followed him to the inner room.

Doctors morning manner; and even

there was a dry murmur from the bed
where Harmon lay, and a resulting 81

the smile faded. and billiard was on
his feet. Open-eyed with the present
horror brought back TO him.
The physician was rising slowly from
cramped knees.

added: "ApOplexy."

Picts and Scots,

In his Dictionary of Phrase ano
Fable, the learned Rev. DR.. K. Cob
ham Brewer, writes upon Picts and
Scots: "Pict is not the Latin picti
(painted people). AS Picts and Scots
are always mentioned together, there
is no reason why one name should be
Latin and the other Gaelic. Scot IL
the Gaelic 'sgod { a dweller in woods
and forests), and Pict is the Gaelic
pict-ist (freebooters), the two being
equivalent to foresters and free
hooters"

TWO TEAMS PUTTING
ON LEGION DRIVE HERE

Two teams of five men each are
in charge of the membership drive
being conducted this week by the
Ralph Oracle post of the American
Legion in connection with the nation
wide drive by the national organiza-
ton. In this drive every effort will
be made to secure as many new men,
bers as possible and to induce former
members not in good standing to pay
up the dues for 1920 in order to
receive full benefit of membership in
the post activities.
As captain of one team Fred
Fraser has been selected. The other
team is being captained by Whitney
Brown. With four other active men,
hers on each team, the drive promises
to bring satisfactory results provided
that every member does all possible
to boost for the organization. Those
desiring to become members of the
local post are urged to consult men,
bers of either team or to see the post
adjutant.
