The Fellow That's Broke

Let's drink a toast to the rollicking chap,
The fellow who's always broke,
The struggling chap whose ev'ry hope
Evaporates in smoke,
Who smiles despite his empty purse,
Allows naught to depress him,
Who still plods on and hopes 'galnst hope,
The fellow that's broke, God bless him!
He may not have a dime on earth
While cold and hunger gnaw him,
Yet hides it all with nothing but
His sunny heart to thaw him.
And meets his friends nor neer betrays
The truths that sore Cypress him,
The chap who smiles thro hungers wlles,
The fellow that's broke,-God bless himl
He sees hope in ev'ry ray
That DER his path is falling
1t may be life, it may be DEATH
Or voice of Fate that calling.
Though heart be chilled and purse be bare,
Some sweet hope will caress him:
He's sure the morrowll brighter be-
The fellow that's broke,-God bless him!
So here's to him, against whom fate
Seems ever leagued to down HIM;
And vet through all misfortune thran
halo bright should crown him.
Because he cheers some hopeless one
Fen though hard luck doth press him:
Divides his all. be it how SMALL
The fellow that S broke-God bless him

flowers, there came a woman.
Silently she followed the remains of
the dead king. Once she had been his

another woman, she who later took a
mans life.
Today there came to the Mcdonald
home both women, the wife and the
other woman.
As the procession started from the
house to the church the carriage con-
tanning the wife suddenly wheeled in
the direction opposite to that taken by
the procession and ratified away, de-
spairing woman's shrek punctuaung
the rattle of the wheels.
Then it was that the other woman
again came into her own, took her
place at the head of the mournerS, and
led the procession to the church.
The woman who accompanied the
body to its last resting place was Mary
Ellen Mcdonald, first and divorced wife
of the dead former politician and king
of gamblers.

to repeat the golden text, which had
special reference to mans inability to
serve his Creator and the money god
at one and the same time. The class
failed to respond as it should, when
the superintendent noticing his own
young hopeful in the ranks, who had
that very morning been drilled thor
oughly on the text, called to him. The
response was immediate, though a
slight departure from the original for
in a voice that was distinctly heard in
all parts of the room there came the
following modification:

A PECULIAR ALLIANCE.
That Made by the Doctors and tho
W. c. T. U.

For the purpose of fighting patent"
medicines the doctors, as represent
ed by the American Medical Associa-
ton, have made an alliance with the
w, c. Y. U. who have been deceived
into believing that the alcohol in pat
ent' medicines is menace In this
alliance the good ladies of the W. c.
7. U. are apparently put in the posi-
ton of dragging chestnuts out of the
fire for their allies. There is no class
so firmly convinced of the necessity
for alcohol in medication as the doc
tors who, with few exceptions, not
only prescribe it freely but use it, as
indeed they must whether they would
prefer to or not, as solvent and pre-
sentative. On the other hand the
w. c. II. U. contends that the whole
medical and pharmaceutical world is
In error; that alcohol is not only use
less but that it is dangerous and
harmful in any quantity in any medl-
cinal preparation. While their princi-
pies are so wholly at variance the
doctors and the w. C. T. U. ladies
have cheerfully allied themselves in
war on patent medicines, and the
w. C. r. U. is placed in an even more
ridiculous position by reason of the
fact that the doctors do not confine
their fight to those medicines which
contain alcohol but lump all patent
medicines in one class. And this, too,
despite the fact that, according to fig
ures printed In the Journal of the
American Medical Association, about
70 per cent of physicians prescrip-
tons are for patent" or proprietary"
medicines.
The inability of many physicians
to prescribe any but ready-to-use rem
edies is frequently commented upon
by the medical press, and by physi-
clans of the better class when assem-
bled in conventions. That three
fouFths of the physicians graduated
each year in the United States are in
competent and peril to the COM
munities in which they practice was
charged openly at the annual meeting
of the Committee on Medical Educa-
ton of the American Medical Asso-
citation, held in Chicago in April Of
this year. The total number of grad
yates annually was placed at 1000
which means that at least 5000 in
competents are turned loose annually.
1t was stated at this meeting that an
average of IS per cent of the gradu-
ates from medical colleges failed to
pass state examinations. These fail
ures either go back to school, or go
to some state where the requirements
are not so high.
That many doctors are so ignorant
in matters pertaining to pharmacy
that they know nothing about the
properties of the drugs they prescribe,
was stated by DR.. NJ. Clayton Thrush,
professor in the MedicoC hirurgical
College at Philadelphia in an address
before the Annual Convention of the
American Medical Association at At
lantic City in June of this year.
Dr. Henry Beats, Jr., President of
the Board of Medical Examination
for the State of Pennsylvania, in an
interview in the daily papers said:
about one quarter of the papers
show a degree of illiteracy that rend-
ers the candidates for lcensure in
capable of understanding medicine"
He criticizes the colleges for award
ing degrees in these cases.

seeming Indifference a deliberate plan
of mauslaughter, which eliminated in

minor crimes.
1t is stated that the officers are in
possession Of evidence in part secured
from Naves that has cleared mp several
other murders and crimes and that a
series of exposures will be made The
feud which has existed for years and
has included almost every crime in the
calendar and involving two States, is to
be fully aired in court and the guilty
brought to Justice.
