rded; and
starting with this reminiscence he gives his advice to the young men of
to-day. He begins with the dictum that "it is a religious duty to get all
the money you can"--that is, "honestly and fairly"--and he sings the
virtues of rigid economy. Speaking of his own efforts to "get a footing,"
he says:

If you all feel as I did when I was just starting in, I feel
sorry for you. But I would not be without the memory of that
struggle. And, discussing the struggle for success, what is
success? Is it money? Some of you have all you need.

Who is the poorest man in the world? I tell you, the poorest
man I know is the man who has nothing but money, nothing
else in the world upon which to devote his ambition and
thought. That is the sort of man I consider to be the
poorest in the world. Money is good if you know how to use
it.

Now, let me give you a little word of counsel. Keep a
ledger, as I did. Write down in it all that you receive, and
do not be ashamed to write down what you pay out. See that
you pay it away in such a manner that your father and mother
may look over your book and see just what you did with your
money. It will help you to save money, and that you ought to
do.

It is a mistake for any man who wishes for happiness and to
help others to think that he will wait until he has made a
fortune before giving away money to deserving objects.

LET DOCTORS TELL WHAT THE MATTER IS.

A Plea by Grover Cleveland for a Greater
Degree of Confidence Between
Physician and Patient.

Our only living ex-President, Mr. Cleveland, gave a bit of advice to the
doctors a few weeks ago. Speaking before the New York State Medical
Society, in session at Albany, he pleaded the rights of the patient to
know what his physician was doing to him. He humorously represented
himself as attorney for the great army of patients in their appeal to the
powerful minority of doctors:

In all seriousness I desire to concede without the least
reservation on behalf of the great army of patients that
they owe to the medical profession a debt of gratitude which
they can never repay, on account of hard, self-sacrificing
work done for their benefit and for beneficent results
accomplished in their interest.

But at the same time we are inclined to insist that while
our doctors have wonderfully advanced in all that increase
