A BUSINESS
(Continued from last week)
During this period of great na-
tional development the City has
called the youth of the village and
cross-roads, and he has responded
to the call. The thought of living
on Easy Street, and intellectual
labor, appeal to him more forcibly
than toil with muscle and brawn.
In the affairs of life, Brain and
Brawn are inseparable partners, but
Brain sees to it that it gets tju; best
em! <>f the bargain. Brawn has
pulled and carried the load. Brain
has been the driver, holding the
lines and whip. Brain has capital-
ized opportunity, and brawn has
turned the wheels that produced.
By the use of labor-saving machin-
ery, by grasping vast fields of nat
ural resources for raw material, by
hindering the spread of political in-
telligence among workers, by dom-
inating legislation, by influencing
the courts to usurp unwarranted
power—by all theseLand many oth-
er methods, Brain, combined with
whatever political party was in of
lice, has until now enjoyed a won-
derful prosperity that has made us
the top-notch nation in wealth, but
the wealth is all tint hands of Brain.
Brawn should he satisfied if it gets
a full belly, for production is con-
stantly causing starvation, because
the producer, with his small por-
tion of wages from the wealth he
creates, can buy but little. Abun-
dant crops are allowed to waste be-
cause transportation is controlled
and markets are regulated for pri-
vate profit. Panics come because
banking is regulated for private in-
stead of public gain. Brain has
organized and centralized—it con-
trols, the wealth of the nation. The
necessitses of life come through it
at any price it cares or dares to di-
rect.
Now let the Doctor slide into
this happy turmoil. How handily
he fits in to serve the purpose of
Brain. How easy to forget, the
sacred code, and play his part of
the game. How kindly he serves
Brain to conserve property, for prop-
erty is everything. Man has no
rights that come before property. !
The emergency hospitals, the shop '
doctors, the railway surgeons, and
ail other medical servants of the :
corporations, are designedjo secure

drawn into this horrible and n lent-

— avowing in all its traditions that
Medicine is not a business but a
profession, humanitarian in ,1 its I

How Do You Laugh?
A French paper has discovered that
a person's character is expressed in his
manner of laughing If you laugh in
"ha-ha" fashion you are frank If n
man and Inconstant and incapable of
keeping a secret if a woman. If yoti
laugh "heh-heh" you are neurasthenic,
melancholy and skeptical If you
adopt a deeper tone and laugh in "lio-
ho's" you are generous, easy going and
good natureil. The proper pitch for
the fair sex to laugh in is "he-he."
while people who laugh with a "hoo-
hoo" effect should be avoided as hypo-
critical. scaud.il mongering and mis-
erly.
This Little Story Sbows Just What
a Lot of Good Things the
Bachelor Misses at Merry
Christmas Time
"My wife has been questioning me
for the past three weeks about what
I would like for Christmas."
"Well, I suppose you told her?"
"Yes. The first thing I thought of
was an umbrella I really need an
umbrella, because it is quite a dis-
tance from my house to the train,
and I have to walk it. A nice umbrel-:
la would come in handy on rainy
days. Then there are some books I j
would like very much. I gave her a )
list of them as nearly as I could at the
start, and have been adding to it day
by day as I happened to think of
something else in that line. I men-
tioned cuff-buttons and studs for full-
dress occasions, and I gave her to un-
derstand that if she didn't feel like
troubling herself over the matter I \
would be glad to take the money she j
had set aside for me and buy myself j
some cigars. Last night I had occa-
sion to look into a closet we don't use |
much, and ther* I found my present,
all ready to be placed before me on i
Christmas morning."
"Of course, then, she hadn't «dopt- {
ed your suggestion as to the cigars." j
"No. I'm going to be made glad
with a beautifully worked sofa pillow."

Along the road to Bethlehem
I luce weary wise men slowly fared.
And wondering shepherds gazed at them
And lowed the heads which they had
Ik. red—
Three wise men^who had journeyed far
Rode ilowly o'er the hills that night.
Still following their guiding star
Whore constant beam., were broad and
bright.
At Christmas time they heard a voice
I hat cweetly sounded far on high;
'*Rejoice, ye sons of men, rejoice!"
The words rang clearly from the sky.
Tlit- trembling wise men paused to Wear
[he song that f-.r.gels aatiR tr them.
And ceased to d-*ubt r.nd turned from
feur,

My father told me tf I'd write
And ask you for It that you might
Bring me the wish to study well
And learn to read and write and spell, i
And thankfulness for limbs that's straight
And youth and health that's simply great
Friend Santa, bring them all and I'll
Be good and cheerful all the while;
But tf 1 can't have everything
My parent* say they wish you'd bring,
And If I can't have only one.
Why. plea*-. I'd rather have the gun.
GKORQIB.
We hurry through the busy days
And in the market-place contend;
We strive to win in shamclul ways.
Forsaking brother, wronging Iriend;
We loslei greed and cling to pride,
We have no time for being kind.
We rudely push the lame aside,
And give no guidance to the blind.
We madly struggle after gain.
Forgetting all the Master taught;
We worship riches, and disdain
To heed the message that He brough*—
Yet, even so, at Christmas, lose
AiM.ils our hearts and chastens thrm
And brings us glad remembrance of
That holy night in Bethlehem.
A Preference.
"Bobble, would you rather find your
Christmas present In your stocking or
on a tree?"
"I'd rather have it on a tree, 'cause
there's more room there."
We cease a little while to hate.
We turn a little while from sin;
We greet the stranger at th.- gate.
And reaching forth we lead him ins
And, happily remembering
The babe that in the manger lay.
We still acknowledge Him our King,
As they did, that first Christmas day.
Three shadowy wise men slowly faro
Along the shadowy highway still.
And shadowy shepherds watch them there
And sec the star blaze o'er the hill.
And men, wherever men may dwell.
Still hear the message borne to them;
That God still reigns and all is well.
The star shines on o'er Bethlehem.
