Uncle Ray
Doctors of Days Gone By.

N OLD man was sick at Rome.
| n His name was Eudemus, and
"A he was widely known.
4 "A The best doctor in the city,
! as people believed, was called
to care for Eudemus; but the illness
grew worse and worse. At last Eu-
demus said, Tell Galen to come
to me-"
| II the sick man had been asked to
tell who Galen was, he might have
replied in this manner:
| He Is only about 80 years of age,
and has been at Rome only short
time He was born in Pergamum. a
| famous city in Asia Minor. He has
| not won a great name here at Rome,
; but there Is something about him
which makes me believe that he Is
going to succeed. For three years he
was surgeon for the school of glad
iators at Pergamum, and I am told
+, that he cured the wounds of the glad
iators in wondrous fashion"
Galen came to the bedside of Eu-
demus, studied the symptoms Of
/ the disease, and gave medicine. Be-
| fore long the patient grew better,
and at length he became well.
This success marked the beginning
Of fame for Galen at Rome. People
talked about the way he had cured
Eudemus, and he was called to attend
| families Of power and wealth. The
on-in-law Of the Emperor and an
uncle Of the Emperor were among his
patients. He received a large sum in
| gold for curing the wife of Roman
consul.
| When Galen was 81 years of age,
Italy was visited by a plague. We
do not know whether it was bubonic
| plague, smallpox or typhoid fever;
but whatever it was, Galen lost little
time in returning to Pergamum. SCme
/ persons said that he was afraid he
would become sick himself.
Two years later. Galen was called
back to Italy by the Emperor Marcus
! Aurelius: and there followed period
of 80 years in which he practiced as
a doctor at Rome.
! More important than his work for
the royal household was the study
/ Galen gave to the science of anatomy.
He learned as much as he could about
the muscles and bones of animals and
human beings. Some persons called
| him the wonder worker.
In the course Of his studies, Galen
cut up the bodies Of fish, birds, pigs,
| bears and apes. At one time he
worked on the body of an elephant;
and he examined one or two human
skeletons.
Galen wrote books about the body
and about medicine, and his writings
kept his fame alive in the centuries
which followed his death. There were
mistakes in the books but they con-
| tanned much that was true. Galen
died during, or about, the year 20l.

Conquering Contract
BY p. HAL SIMS.

diamond suit East just managed to
stay off one round. He was forced to
win the second round, and immediate
ly attacked the club suit.
The one faint hope for the contract
materialized, South held both the ace
and king of clubs, East sat around
hopefully, and waited for South TO
make a mistake-which he did. He
shifted to low spade. North's queen
was forced, and the jack in dummy
proved an effectual stopper. The up
shot was grand total Of one d1a-
mond, one spade, and two club tricks
for the defending CD side.
South should have realized, at that
point, that it was one Of those really
essential things that North hold the
queen of spades. It seemed evident
that North held no re-entry in hearts.
The queen of spades, however, is a
fairly small and unimportant card.
Mightn't North hold it? Lord knows
he held little else. Therefore South
should have laid down the king Of
spades. Whether East plays South for
both the king and queen, and goes in
on the first round, or futilely holds up
the ace, South, by simply playing out
his highest spades in the correct order
will set the contract not one, but three
tricks. Quite a swing, isn't it?
After making his mistake, however,
South had one chance to redeem him.
self-underlead the king of spades.
East, holding the nine, might have
fallen for it. but since he knows that
North in the lead means a doomed
contract, he should go up with the
jack to guard against the very play
that South should have tried to exc
cute. There's no percentage in saw
ing one trick when you have play

though the catches may not always
be large, they are worth while. The
large hauls are made during the lat
ter part Of the Winter and in the
early Spring.
The spotted weakfish weighs, on an
average, from two to four pounds,
though larger ones have been re-
corded.
We find one that likes to be little
different, and decides to migrate more
than his relatives. You will see
schools of them at Beaufort, in the
Spring, as they come up from the
South and meander through the inlets
on the floodtide. Early in May, they
move slowly toward the North, and
journey along until they reach their
destination, Long Island. On the
coast of North Carolina, they are very
plentiful and are only exceeded in
number by the mullet.
The weakfish is named thus on ac-
count Of his tender mouth. He Is
otherwise a strong fish, full of pep
and vigor. Once he finds himself at
the end of the line, on a hook that
hurts his mounth and likewise his
feelings, he puts up a grand fight,
and gives the fisherman plenty of
sport. It takes skill and patience to
land an angry weakfish.
Spawning takes place from May to
July, the time being governed by the
latitude. The eggs are laid on the
bottom, and after they are fertiliZed
by the male, they float to the surface.
They are carried about on the tidal
currents until they hatch.
How the infants manage to escape
the many perils always present would
be an interesting story. They must
have a system, for the annual catch
is more than 100000 pounds of
sizeable fish.

Because Of its shape and spots, the
