LEWIS, CoUnty Auditor Cass County, N. D. D. Dec. 14, ai,'a6 k- The Progrreaa Science Has Made In Two Hundred Year*. A centuipr ago the work of the mod ern surgeon would have been denounc ed by the theologians, who then ruled mankind, as audacious intrusions into the exclusive jurisdiction of God. Two centuries ago, or, at the furthest, three, the man of science who would take out the Viscera of a man, cut out their disease and put them back would bave been fortunate to escape the stake or the block. But the audacious invader of the secrets of tl»e body, the beneficent healer wlio^wjth his vial nor his knife, lessens the miseries of humanity, diminishes or destroy!* pain, prolongs life and smooths its j^itlnvay to the grave—this is now the man who appeals most strongly to his fellow beings. For hina and his training the captains of industry are gouring out their millions, building him colleges and laboratories, endowing professor ships. while the world at large hails him as a man of power and influence at a time when wealth is accumulating and when men are not decaying. More and more, very likely, we shall see the strong men. of the college classes choosing medicine, although the time has not yet come for domination over the lawyer, who is now engaged in settling the direction aud the form in which the captains of industry shall carry on their development of the world's wealth. The time seoms to b" cpming. however, when the indefinite prolongation oAiuinan life and the de struction of the enemies of hmr.au health, a work which almost suggest the creative power, will be the t:»r-' that will call for and will-receive service of the best training of our 1 leges and universities—that is.

"Well, 1 haven't any whirlers. but I've got spnie very excellent stockings. Sup pose I show you some.' "'All right.' the teamster said. "So the lmuerdashcr exhibited the best stockings he had In his shop, and the other selected a tiue pair, saying: ," 'I suppose you don't mind making Whirlers out of them for me?* f'^'Not at all.' retorted the other, and jfvith a pair of shears he cut the feet the stockings. 'Now,' said the teamster, 'how 'much are they?' 'Fifty cents, the Same a#-.before, of course.' -'"Fifty cents? Why. I never paid 'ihore than 10 cents anywhere.' said the ^tynstev.. and. h? smiled me^ipiagly and made as If to depart. "'Hold ou!' the haberdasher cried. 'Don't leave me in a lurch like t'u!a.

Th# French court was at one time a hotbed of gambling. Louis XIV. would play for heavy stakes night after night, and many courtiers were ruined at his table. Ills successor, who lacked his predecessor's geniality and good na ture. was an even greater devotee of the card table. The story is told that when this king was playing one even ing a gentleman present was seized with apoplexy. "M. de Chauvelin is ill," one of the courtiers ventured to tell Louis.
