Come, waitchen, let us see thee closer." The child came shyly forward and stood before the great master, who took her small hands in his own and gazed with kindly curiosity into her face. Thou art a puzzle. little one," he aid. smiling. Who art thou? I find thee In this quiet Knglish town, and the tongue Is English, too, but the face and voice, they do not belong to an English maid How is It, lcibchen?" ' I am Oabrielle," said the child, simply. My father keeps the music shop near by. He is English, but I I am like my mother who is with tho angels She was born over the soa. in Italy." "Ah that accounts for thy soft total and dark face, my lovely one. I thought there was southern blood In thy vcns. And thu wert listening 'o the music? Perhaps thou would8t like to learn, thyself?"

"My child, you are blest

An Authority Says Three Fourths of Graduates Are Unfitted to Practice. That 3,000 out of the 4.000 graduates turned out by tho Medical Colleges each year are whollly unfitted to practice medicine and are menaces to the communities in which they settle waa stated by Dr. Chester Mayer, of the State Hoard of Medical Fjtar.i iners of Kentucky at a meeting of the American Medical Association's Committee on Medical Kducation, hold in Chicago not long ago. Dr. Mayer said that only 25 to 2S per cent of the graduates are qualified. Fifty-eight p r cent of the graduates examiued In 28 Mates were refused licenses. With few exceptions these failures took a second examination in a few weeks and only 50 per cent of them passed. ' This does not mean that deficiencies in their training were corrected In those few weeks," Dr. Mayer said "It probably shows that experience showed thorn what the test would probably be and they "crammed' for the examination. Dr. W. T. Gott. Secretary of the Indiana Board said: The majority of our schools now teach their students how to pass examinations, not how to be good physicians.'' At the session of the American Medical Association held in Atlantio City in June, Dr. M. Clayton Thrush, a professor in the Medico Chlrurgical College in Philadelphia said: "Many doctors tnrned out of the Medical Schools are so ignorant in matters pertaining to pharmacy that they know nothing about the properties of the drugs they prescribe 'or their patients'" Dr. Henry Heats, Jr., President of the Pennsylvania Stale Board of Medical Kxaminers, after scrutinizing the papers of a class of candidates for licensure said: "Atout one quarter of the papers show a degree of Illiteracy that reuders tha candidates for licensure incapable of understanding medicine." A great many more physicians and chemists might be quoted in support of the astounding charge that 3.ÖO0 incompetents are being dumped onto an unsuspecting public each year. What the damage done amounts to can never be estimated for these Incompetents enjoy the privilege of diagnosing, prescribing or dispensing drugs regarding the properties of which they know nothing and then of signing death certificates that are not passed upon by anyone unless the coroner ia called in. Probably there Is not a grave yard from one end of the country to the other that does not contain the juried evidences of the mistakes or criminal carelessness ot incompetent physicians. During the last year there have been perhaps, half a dozen known cuses where surgeons, after performing operations have sewed up the incisions without first removing the gauze sponges used to absorb the blood, and in some cases forceps and even surgeon's scissors have been left in the wound. How many of these cases there have been, where the patient died, there is no means

of knowing and comparatively few of the cases where the discovery is made in time to save life become generally public. Reports from Sanitariums for the treatment of the Drug Habit show that members of the medical profession are more often treated in these institutions than members of any other profession, and that a majority of the patients, excluding the physicians themselves, can trace their downfall directly to a careless physician. How many criminal operations are performed by physicians is also a matter of conjecture. Operations of this class are, unfortunately, very frequent in large cities. Some gradu rued and licensed physicians, many of them of supposed respectability, make an exclusive practice of criminal medical and surgical treatment. Dr. Henry G. W. Rheinhart. Coroner's physician of Chicago, estimates the number of criminal operations, annuallly. In Chicago alone at 38,000. How many resulted fatally are unknown, as when death results, the real cause Is disguised In the death certificate, which the physician signs, and which no one but himself and a clerk sees. Probably not one case of malpractice in l.ooo ever becomes the subject of a law suit but In the last year approximately 150 cases wherein the plaintiff has alleged malpractice have been reported In the newspapers, and owing to the social prominence and the favored positions of many physicians not more than half the new suits stated, probably, result In any newspaper publicity. bi it would probably not be an exaggeration to state that ihe total cases of malpractice, not Involving criminal oerations or criminal medical practice, would amount to 1 60.000 or more than one case to each physician In the country. This estimate Is, of course, more or less conjecture I'ntltnely deaths and permanent disabilities are frequent, and occur within the knowledge of almost every one. when life could have been saved, or health restored had the physician been skillful, careful and competent

But one must have something of the character of Moses before he can see the vision in Its true glory. (2) God gives his children heavenly experiences, earnest and foretastes of the blessedness to come. But these, too. come after faithful service and devoted living. The object of these visions is (1) to present before us the true ideal of life. It is not a vain thing to think often of a perfect and holy heaven, for it shows us how we oupht to live on earth. (2) To be a motive and inspiration to higher living. 13) To be a comfort in hours of darkness and discouragement. Character Sketch of Moses. Va. 1012. Moses stands among the few greatest men In all history In every direction he waa great and good L As a Prophet A proptot la one who speaks and acts under the dlrctlon of God, the medium through which God reveal his will to men. 10. ' And there arose not a prophet . . . like unto Moses.'" No other was like him till we come to Jesus, the prophet whom God had promised should be raised up like unto Moses (Deut. 18:18). the organlier of a new kingdom speaking the truth directly from God. ' Whom the Lord knew face to face " God revealed himself and his will directly ko Moses without the Intervention of any angel or human being God's spirit acted upoa the spirit of Moses. U "In all the signs and the wonders, greater than any wrought till Jesua Christ came. They proved to the Israelites that Moses was God's messenger to them. Lis commands were God s commands, his leading where God would have them led. It, "In all that mighty hand.' The hand Is the symbol of power in action the Instrument of power. "AU the great terror," which God wrmight against Pharaoh and other esemles which was doubtless one of the reasons why the Israelites were so aafe In the wilderness. 2. As a Saint. Moses' goodness shines as brightly as his greatness. He was unselfish. He devoted himself at every cost to the good of his people. He encountered every danger fr their sakes. He was willing to die to save them. He was the embodiment of love to God and love to man. By seeing God face to face he was becoming transformed Into his apiritual likeness 3. His Imperfection Two or three times some fault is attributed to Moses, as every saint haa failed in some point at some time. There is no garden but has some weeds. But the most unjust thing we can do is to measure Its value by its weeds and not by its fruits 4. Moses as a Statesman "Inspiration apart, Moses possessed all those endowments and qualities which form the consummate statesman and chief magistrate: an Intellect of the highast order; a perfect maptery of all the civil wisdom of the age; a penetrating, comprehensive and sagacloua Judgment, great promptness and energy In action; patriotism which neither Ingratitude. Ill treatment nr rebellion could quench, or even cool; a commanding and persuasive eloquence; a In art., love of truth; an Incorruptible virtue 6.

WHAT FATHER AND HARRY ACCOMPLISHED AN ILtlNOIt MAN WRITES REGARDING HIS SUCCESS IN WESTERN CANADA.

Change In Homestead Regulation, Makts Entry Easily Accomplished. Nothing succeeds like aueceas" la an old and true saying having many applications In Western Canada. Tho following letter ia an illustration. The writer. Mr. Herta, left Chkago a short time ago and the success he haa achieved may well be gained by anyone having pluck and energy by locating on the free homestead lands in Western Canada. A change recently made in the Canadian Laud Regulations concerning homesteads makes it possible for auy menAer of a family to make entry for any other member of the family entitled to a homestead. For instance, a man may now make entry before the local agent for bis father or for his brother or brothere, or for his son or sons, or for a sister or daughter who may be the head of the family having minor children depending uiKjn her for support. A sister, daughter or mother are also entitled to mako entry upon a homestead. The only fee required is 10.00 for each entry, -t great saving in railway expenses is thus made. Head what Mr. Gerts has to say: Battleford, Sask.. Aug. 4, 15)07. Dear Sir; Thinking a letter from us Northwest settlers might interest you. and I write a few lines and let you know we are progressing finely and well pleased with our new home. When 1 1 think of the many hard working." Industrious men east with families who are struggling for a living and doing the strenuous, laying up practically nothing for old age and the thousands of acres of land here yet to be plowed and cultivated capable of raising sixty to eighty buähelt. of oata, thirty to forty bushels of wheat. It certainly seems a pity the two cannot be brought together. But I will repeat, this country Is only for the industrious and thrifty; also I might add, it requires some capital to start. A man should have at least a team of three good horses; better to have marcs so as to have some colts coming along each year. It Is best tobring them with him as work horses are high. He should be able to purchase plow, disc and drag, harrow, drill, binder and hay rake. Of course several taking up claims or buying land near together can divide up the purchasing of the above machinery and exchange work. This plan will work well for a few years or until crops will warrant each individual to purchase a full outfit. We have 4S0 acres of as good farm land as lies In the famous Cut Knife district Every foot can be plowed. Last year our oats run 60 bushels per acre. 1 sold them for 50c per bubhel m the place. The Indications are for a good crop this year, though we were very' late In seeding owing to the late spring. Last winter was the coldest known In this country by the oldest settlers (some who have been here 35 years), but with a comfortable house and plenty of firewood, which we hauled four miles, we passed the winter quite pleasantly. The air is clear and dry. Some of the days I came from work I was surprised to find the thermometer registering 40' below eero. Though we never keep flre at night, we had nothing freeze In our cellar. Our stock and chickens wintered fine. I have a yearling heifer, who

He Set a Date. A merchant in a Wisconsin town who had a Swedish clerk sent him out to do some collecting. When he returned from an unsuccessful trip he reported: "Yim Yonson say he vlll pay ven he sells his hogs. Yim Olesen, he vlll pay ven he sell him wheat, and Bill Pack say he vlll pay in Y'aauary." "Well," said the boss, "that'a the first time Bill ever set a date to pay. Did be really say be would pay In January?" "Veil, aye tank so." said the clerk. "He say dat it ban a dam cold day ven you get that money. I tank that ban In Yanuary." Harper's Weekly. Had Measured It.
