Throwing aside his books, he resorts to the many means at hand of gaining notoriety and attracting public attention, with a view of bringing clients to his office. Such an one in time never fails to learn much by his mistakes, but at a sad expense of character, feeling, and conscience.
Here follows the testimony of a man whom I know, Doctor George Sarton, of the University of Ghent: "Each year more Germans came to Belgian summer resorts; Blankenberghe, for instance, was full of them. They were all very well received and had plenty of friends in Belgian families, from the court down.
It is the fat and podgy, or the lean and bony, female, for the most part, one who has neither natural physical nor mental attraction, that resorts to this means of commanding attention. She makes one appeal, and only one, and that to the very lowest instincts of masculine human nature. No matter how she may deceive herself to the contrary, she is deliberately catering to the animal passion of men.
Jack and Hal came out with bandages about their heads, which buzzed and ached. The two, however, told their story to Somers and Williamson as soon as possible. “Just as I supposed,” nodded Eph, vigorously. “Why, how did you guess it all?” asked Benson, in astonishment. “I mean, I knew you hadn’t been in any low sailor resorts.” “Who said we had?” demanded Jack, flaring in spite of his dizziness.
The last week in August came, and, as to where we were to go we still were undecided, I suggested we leave it to chance. "The first thing," I pointed out, "is to get away from this awful city. The second thing is to get away cheaply. Let us write down the names of the summer resorts to which we can travel by rail or by boat for two dollars and put them in a hat.
He said, to my absolute amazement, that we were officials of an exalted kind, sent down by the Local Government Board to hold a sworn inquiry into the condition of Belfast.

The Irish police are accustomed to sworn inquiries as one of the last resorts of harassed Governments.
"In the first place, Mr. Winter," said Philip, steadily, "let us settle the right and wrongs of the whole business. Is it right for a Christian man, a church-member, to rent his property for saloons and vicious resorts, where human life is ruined?" "That is not the question." "What is?" Philip asked, with his eyes wide open to the other's face. Mr.
It has its club-house, and its hotel, with the modern improvements and conveniences; its fine summer residences; and plenty of fishing, hunting, and pleasant drives. There are a dozen minor summer resorts around about St. Paul and Minneapolis, but the White-bear Lake is the resort. Connected with White-bear Lake is a most idiotic Indian legend.
"Why," said the Altrurian, "your mechanics and day laborers, your iron-moulders and glass-blowers, your miners and farmers, your printers and mill-operatives, your trainmen and quarry-hands. Or do they prefer to go to resorts of their own?" It was not easy to make sure of such innocence as prompted this inquiry of my Altrurian friend.
Their instructions were so very vague, and the best method of carrying them out so far from clear to their ingenious minds, that they wandered aimlessly about the resorts most affected by officers on leave, spent much money, made a good many pleasant acquaintances, but progressed not at all in their researches.
