Physicians and lawyers are some- times charged with protracting profit- able “cases” through months, and per- haps years, that could have been dis uosed of in a few days or weeks. One medical man, who had no temptation to that kind of practice, was frank enough to take advantage of the im- peachment, and put the blame where it belonged. A lady was very solieit- ous about her health. Every trifle made her uneasy. and the doctor was called immediately. The doctor was a skillful man, and consequently had a large practice. It was very dis- agreeable to bhim to be So oftea call- | ed away from his other cases for no ing. and he resolved to take an oppor- tunity of letting the lady sce this. One day the lady observer a red spot o her hand, and at once sent for the doctor. He came; looked at her hand ana_said: “You did well to send for me early.™ The lady looked alarmed and asked: “Is it danserous, then?” “Certainly not,” replied the doctor. “Tomorrow the spot would have dfs- appeared and I'should have lost my fee for this vist”—Youth's Compan- Dennis Sullivan; Gordon Willis;_fire police, I. van, Bernard Breen, Edward Walsh, Henry Ballou, James P.

But we got within half a mile of Mc- fillan's house without seeing a hippo, and the light was rapidly fading. announced that we would go home, but took one last look around the next bend and instantly sank to his knees, beck- oning to me. I crept forward on all fours and he pointed out to me an object in the stream, §0 yards off, un- der the overhanging branch of a tre which jutted out from the steep bank opposite. In that light I should mot myself_have. recognized it as a hippo head; but it was one, looking toward us, with the ears up and the nostrils, eyes and forehead above water. I Bl BT I e sy Tinkes, | aimed for the center; the mound told e e A N e vas wel. | that the bullet had struck somewhere e a T oy aver ang poaive on the head, and the animal dis peared without a splash. Judd was sure I had killed, but I was by no means so confident myself, and there was no way of telling until next morn- ing, for the hippo always sinks when shot and does not rise to the surface for several hours. Accordingly back we walked to the house. At sunrise next morning Cuning- hame, Judd and I, with a crowd of porters, were down at the spot. There was a very leaky boat in which Cun- inghame, Judd and I embarked, intend- ing to drift and paddle down stream while the porters walked along the bank. We did not have far to go, for as we rounded the first point we heard the porters break into guttural excla- mations of delight, and there ahead of us, by a little dsland of papyrus, was the dead hippo. With the help of the boat it was towed to a convenient landing place ana then the porters dragged it ashore, It was a cow, of good size for one dwelling In a small river, where they never approach the dimensions of those making their homes in a great lake like the Victoria Nyanza. This one weighed nearly 2800 pounds, and I could well believe that a big lake bull would weigh betweer three and four tons. In wild regions hippos rest on sandy bars, and even come ashore to feed, by day: but wherever there are Inhab- itants they land to feed only at night. —Theodore Roosevelt, in Scribner’s Magazine. Clothes and the Man. “You can talk all you please about clothes making & man,” sgid a Walnut street taiflor, “but T want to say right now that the smartest clothes in the world can’t make a man ‘natty’ if he is | not naturally so. There 18 an old | stoop-shouldered doctor uptown that T have been tailoring for seven years. He buys four and sometimes five suits a year. And yet, except for a few days after he has broken in a new suit, he never looks nice. The trousers bag at the knmees, the coats fall away in front, and the shouders begin to look sloppy. The man’s drooping figure and the poor care he takes of his clothes furnish, of course, the explanation. Did you ever notice the average col- lege man's clothes? Almast invariably he locks neat and correct, despite the easy swing with which he walks. But wvou'll notice that he carries his head high. his shoulders fairly erect, and his frousers never break at the shoes, so that the crease is always preserved. All classes of men go to college—rich and poor. Few college men take more than fair care of their clothes. It's all the way they wear their colthes, T think.
