The British Medical Journal" says that only an imaginary remedy will cure an imaginary disease which is true to the old maxim, "similia simili- bus curantuT." It continues. This may be condemned by the righteous as quackery, and quackery of a kind it undoubtedly is. But if the real end of medicine is to cure, can she, when legitimate means fail, afford to despise anything that relieves suffering, even though the suffering be imaginary ?'

WITH THROAT CUT.
r. M. Whitaker Makes an Attsmp TO
XIII Misunderstanding Easy.


Reduced to poverty and with the
feeling that life was a burden to him.
r. NJ Whitaker. blind man. made
an attempt to kill himself last night
about 1880 O'Clock by cutting his
throat with a razor. The man was
picked up on the east side Of the San.
ia Fe depot and was practically uncon-
scious from the loss OF blood Whit
taker cut deep cash IN his throat and
did his utmost to destroy himslf The
wound bled freely and It was thought
that he would die before medical aid
could be administered. He was re.
moved TO the Ardmore sanitarium
whore he was given medical attcn.
tion. Today he Is resting easy and will
probably recover from his rash deed.
Little is known Of whitaker. Il was
stated that he lived In Denison and
came 10 Ardmore a few days ago As
means Of support he sold small ar.
| ucles. Last night he ran across
man and asked 10 be shown 20
drug store The man escorted him 20
r J .Ramseys store, but paid little
attention to what he wanted. lie asked
for razor, and clerk George Nc
knight. who waited on him, stated
that the man was calm and his de-
meanor did not indicate that he want
ed to XIII himself. Mr. Mcknight. how.
ever. thought II was singular that
blind man wanted razor, but sold
him cheap one without inauiring
what he wished to do with H. whita-
ker then found his way TO the depot
where he drew the razor across his
throat. Some one who was passing
heard him say II anyone tried to taKo
the razor from him he would Kill
them. too. IL was then discovered that
the man had badly cut himself Ef-
forts are being made to locate his rel
atives. II he has any, In Dcnlson,
where he resides.

Testinc Ills Heroisn1,

He had been counting the girl for
long time. 1t happened on Sun
day night after church. They were
sitting on the sofa, and she looked
with ineffable tenderness into his
noble blue eyes.

tremor in her voice, didn't you tell
me once you would be willing to
do any act of heroism for my sake ?"

that statement now," he replied in
confident tones. "No noble Roman
of old was fired with loftier am
bition, a Drawer resolution, than l."
"Well, Tom, l want you to do
something really heroic for me-"
"Speak, darling! What is it ?"

been fooling long enough"

a Disguised Shah.

When a shah of Persia was visit
ing England he frequently expressed
his contempt for the mildncss of
English law. So he was finally taken
to Newgate in order that he might
see gallows. He at once manifested
great interest in it and, expressing
a desire to see how it worked, asked
the governor to hang a man. The
governor explained that he had not
at the time a man ready for the
experiment, whereupon the shah ex-
pressed his contempt. But he in
timated that that was of no conse-
quence. "Hang one of these" said
he, pointing to his suit, each man
of which probably trembled in his
shoes. And very great indeed was
the shah's disgust when he found
that he could not prevail upon the
governor to do what he wanted.
