WHAT OSLER
REALLY SAID

"Oslerzation" and to "Oslerize"
are terms that have come from a
badly reported address by DR.. VIII
liam Osler. Now, however, he has
taken time to explain that what he
really said I'm that famous address
was this: "The teachers life should
have three periods-study until
twenty-five, investigation until forty
profession until sixty, at which time
/ would have him retired on a double
allowance. Whether Anthony Troll
lope's suggestion OF a college and
chloroform should be carried out or
not, I have become a little dubious
as my own time is getting so short"
This is very different fro mthe gem
orally accepted idea that he asserted
that mans creative usefulness ended
at forty and suggested his chloro-
forming at sixty.
In an article on medicine DR.. Os-
Ter writes thus on age: within the
past three centuries the average
working life OF English speaking
men has doubled. A few lived 90

1t was in the fourth inning that the
Leavenworth team first and lastly
scored. Halla managed to fan Shau-

tripled and scored on Adolff's single.
After Dummy Laughlin had gone out
Ragan to Abbott, Ling and Fisher sin
gIed in succession, allowing Adolf to
score. With business getting pretty
good for Leavenworth Seebach rolled
a grounder to Olson, going out at first.

and the Leavenworth team was at his

tore the cover off the Spalding with

She Was ONLY Is
The Sad Experience of a Young
Girl Who Ran Away.
Fled From Her Home i'm Pratt
with Boy of IL Years.
THEY DID RANCH LIFE
Finally Drifted Into Medicine
Lodge, Sick and Poor.
Are Given a Lecture and Re-
turned to Their Homes.

Medicine Lodge, Kan. May g.
Merton Keith and Clara McNamna, g
runaway couple from Pratt, have been
returned to their homes after a de-
plorable experience.
4 The boy is IT years old and the girl
is 49, They ran away in January.
Their first appearance in Barber coun-
ty was at James Statler's ranch. in
Eagle township. where they stopped
about two months ago, representing
themselves to be man and wife, where
they remained until about a month
ago, when they came to this city and
rented a small room and engaged in
clothes cleaning. They seemed to get
along fairly well until about two
weeks ago when the boy was taken
sick with infiammatory rheumatism
and became unable to work. On Mon
day of last week it became known
that the couple were in destitute cir
cumstances. but even at that time it
was not suspected that they were not
married.
Mr.. and Mrs. Keith came down
from Pratt Tuesday night to take mat
ters in hand. and the girls parents
came about the same time. 1t is stated
that the girls parents had known of
the couples movements, in fact, had
visited them at least once while living
in the county.
on Tuesday night, it is stated, the
couple, aided by the parents Of the
girl, attempted to get away, had gone
to the depot for the purpose of board
ing the train, but the father of the
boy interfered and prevented the
escape.
On Wednesday Mr.. Keith, ST., took
the matter up with County Attorney
Cloud and Sheriff McCracken. All
parties appeared before the county
attorney in his office where a private
conference was held. At first both
the boy and the girl insisted that they
would not separate but desired to get
married. The mother of the girl
readily consented and even insisted on
marriage but the father of the boy
was not in that kind of a mood and he
laid down the ultimatum that the boy
could either go home and be provided
for at the parental board or that the
law would surely take its course
there was no middle ground, no COM
promise. Finally. it was made
plain to the boy that a refusal to go
home meant a term in the reforma-
tory for him and free tuition in the
reform school for the girl. all parties
agreed to a settlement on Mr.. Keith's
terms, and a written agreement was
drawn up and signed by all parties to
the effect that both parties would ac-
company their parents home, that they
would keep out of each others COM
pany and have no intercourse what
ever; that in the event of q violation of
the agreement they would be subject
to prosecution.
