Shall Physician Tell Patient He Is
Going to Die?

From an Address Before the American
Medical Association.
The truth is not always so alarming
to the patient as it often is to the ply
sician. In fact, it seems to me this is
one part of our duties that does not
become less trying with increasing ex-
perience. To the sick man, whose
thoughts have been turned toward the
end longer than others suspect, init
nation of fatal end often brings no
shock, but rather relief from the end
ing of painful uncertainty. Accord
ing to the rules of the Roman Catholic
church a timely announcement should
always be given, and those who have
witnessed the last days of members
of this faith can confirm the statement
that good often follows, speaking
merely from the medical standpoint,
and rarely harm, while the same thing
is true of many of other faiths or of
no faith Even where we have to give
fatal prognosis there are certain mol
lifying influences that can be intro
duced, aside from those that spring

The salesman, without appearing to notice
her actions, each times removed the
pocketbooks out of danger and into light.
Finally, she adopted new tactics, ana

Somebody's left a pocketbook.
"Yes?' replied the clerk, interrogative-
". THANK you" And he took the leath-
er and disappeared with it for moment.
Upon his return the woman asked, with
a slight show of interest:
was there much in it?''
.'only s3,"e replied the salesman care
lessly, with the ease Of one who has been
used to lying all his life.
And who will get it If 1t isn't called
for?' asked the shopper.

fury
Following the court about on the cir
cult was no coubt the joy Of Lincoln's
life. He was so fond of 1t that he declined
a fiattering offer to enter a lucrative law
partnership In Chicago. because, as he
contended, it would necessitate more or
less confinement In the office and there
fore keep him off the circuit Seated in
a one-horse buggy, behind a sorry look
ing animal, he would set out from Spring
field to be gone for weeks at stretch.
The lawyers, as he drove into each
successive place, eagerly anticipating a
new stock Of stories, gave him a cordial
welcome, and the landlords hailed his
coming with delight, for he was one of
the most patient and accomplishing of
guests. 'Tf every other fellow" relates
one of his colleagues, "grumbled at the
indifferent accommodations and scant
fare which greeted us at many of the
dngy taverns we struck, Lincoln said
nothing" His forbearance in this regard
well warrants the observation he is said
on one occasion to have made, that he
never so completely felt his Town I'M
