A RACE AGAINST DEATH.

The story is more thrilling-and of
another kind-than Balzacs Country
Doctor"
Way up in the little mountain town
of Thermopolis, in Wyoming, lives a
physician known hitherto to few save
lis neighbors At mine near Nee
teetsee. 100 miles away, there was an
explosion, and number of men were
tadly injured. The doctor at Thermo
polls was asked by telegraph If he
would come and relieve the suffering
of the wounded. He instantly respond
ed:
81 am coming as rapidly as I can
get there"
The road from Thermopols to Nee
teetsee is not paved-not even with
around precipitous cliffs and through
deep winding canyons. The only way
to go is by horseback and the journey
requires two days.
But DR.. Richards rode the 100
miles in II hours.
Fancy that ride! the discomfort of
it. 1t was made at brealneck speed
changing horses as soon as one ami
NAL was jaded.
But men were suffering-dying per
haps.
Happily, says the Salt Lake Her.
aid, which tells the story, the doctor
arrived in time to relieve the dis
tress.
1t was wild ride against death.
And heroism won it.
The Herald writer uses the occasion
to pay noble tribute to the profes
sion of which DR.. Richards is a worthy
member. The compliment is we'll de
served by the men of medicine who
count all but loss if by any means
they may save some.
Only the other day brave-hearte(
physician crawled under an engine a
imminent danger that he might use
his hypodermic syringe to ease the
horrible torture of the dying engineer
pinned to his death.
Honor and praise to such men
types of heroic profession.
