The Prov,nce Of Physicians.

The physician of the future will nnd
his greatest servicesin prolonging hui
man life. The asylum and the poor.
house are not to be regarded as shin
ing lights Of advanced political econ

besides mere political. economy, and
the prolongation of existence is re-
garded as one Of the chief functions
both Of the medical profession and Of
public charities On the other hand,
says the Scientific American, 1t must
be considered that there Is q distinct
economical loss In cutting OF from
existence man before he has run
the full course of his career. To train
man for usefulness requires now
fully quarter OF century, and It
seems only fair that he should have
at least twice that time for the mani
festation Of his activities. II, there

AMBITION THAT COLLAPSED.
Man Who Became Famous Lost All
s@ee
Interest in the Place Of
s His Birth.

I There was once young man who
came from wee bit Of town. and
whenever he would tell folks where he
was raised they would ask him where
that was, relates the Cleveland Leader.
1t irked the young man to find that
his native town was such an inconspicu.
GUS place, and he said to himself: g
Il will hustle around and make my.
self famous. and then Blink Center
will get some notice, for after have
become celebrity everybody will
learn that l was born and raised
there"
So for years and years he climbed
the path Of fame, until at. last his
name was known In every house in
the land. ~ 2
And then he died.. and folks talked
. good deal about him, and his life
was. cited to the young people as an
example Of what persistence and in.
dustry accomplish.
At last his fame grew so lustrous
that it was necessary to organize .
society bearing his name.
Then the society got to work and
looked up his birthplace.
Did the society locate it at Blink
Center?
No; for nobody at Blink Center
could remember anything Of such q
family as his. So the brass tablet in
memory Of his birth was affixed to q
tumble-down house in the outskirts
of a city 100 miles from Blink Center.
However, it was easier for excur-
sionists to get there than to go to
Blink Center on a jerkwater railway.
Yet this teaches us that all Is van.
fty and that we often cut good deal
OF ice without first building an ice.
