about the luckiest doors. They bring us
hope or sleep in our worst hours of pain

its darkness on the pale faces of our

us very often at our worst, and they

Taking them as a whole. they have a

their lives for ours without the support

partments of life, public and private, are
they not supreme? The judges sentence
on the criminal is subject to the verdict
of the doctor. Doctors can, and do give
pause not only to ocean steamers but to
the whole machinery of the state. How
many cabinet councils have been post
poned by a general practitioner? Great
projects of reform are based on their evil
dence, and laws nnumerable are made in
accordance with their advice and carried
out subject to their sanction. In the
case of private individuals their rule and
goverance are no less absolute. Among
the poor they have more influence than
any one else who comes to them from
without. The poor cannot always afford
to obey them; but the more respectable
they are, the more earnestly do thew

country in which there is an average

RUDYARD KIPLlNG TALKS
f TO THE ENGLISH DOCTORS

From the Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association.
At the opening of the medical session
October 1 at Middlesex hospital, London,
the address was made by Mr.. Rudyard
Kipling. His characteristic remarks have
occasioned much favorable comment. The
London Spectator calls it such speech
as could only have come from a man of
genius" and says that 1.-THE public has
read his words with delight"
Mr.. Kipling said that the world was d.
yided into two classes, doctors and pa
tents The patients look on the doctor
as non-combatants look on troops fight
ing in their behalf. Death is bound to
win in the long run, but the on-combat-
ants feel that the doctors will make the
best terms possible on behalf of the non
complaints This fight for life is one of
the most important things in the world,
70 those who control this fight must be
amongst the most important people in
the world. In times of flood, famine, fire,
plague, battle. muSder. ETC., physicians

An Adventure.

From the Bohemian Magazine.
Two ladies' friends of the superintend-
ent, were visiting the hospital for the i'm
sane at Warm Springs. During the noon
meal the superintendent remarked that
the door of the violent ward was being re-
paired and that the guards would have to
be unusually watchful until it was fin
ished. After dinner the ladies' went for
stroll down the beautiful lane leading
up to the main building. Suddenly they
heard footsteps as of some one running
behind them, and were Mortified, on look
ing around. to see a disheveld, wild-eyed
man pursuing them. One of the women
quietly stepped to the side OF the road;
the other, screaming at the top of her
voice, ran down the road with the ma
MAC close upon her heels. At last, spent
with running and gasping with fright,
crouching in anticipation OF the blow
which she was expecting, she wait
ed her fate. The man, painting and grim
ming, tapped her lightly on the shoulder
and said:

son who owes no debt of gratitude to
some doctor or doctors, and who has not

return thanks to Mr.. Kipling. He has

can do-he has heightened and deepened

dent Of the league is Justice Borenz zeller;
the vice presidents are Gustav Hirschberg
Of New York and Emil Dame OF Brook
Ign; the treasurer is Herman Ridder Of the
Stats Zeitung. and the secretary is Louis
Heymann Of Staten Island.
Assisted by various committees made up
of business and professional men, all in
terested in skat. the officers of the league
have arranged for the entertainment Of
their guests at the Grand Central Palace,
where the chief tournament will be played,
and also for various iunketing trips around
the city. Fred Thompson is going to well
come them to Luna Park; Bernheimer &
Schwartz. Jacob Rupert and George
Ehret, jr., are going to give them big
breakfasts at the breweries, and Adolf

NEW YORK, June 2O.-Stanley Ketchel
will soon be in the position occupied by
Jim Jeffries. There will be no one for him
to fight Jeff's opponents gave out because
the boiler maker, being one of the greatest
fighters in the world. was too big for the
other hsavyweights. 1t scared them into a
palsied state to see him coming out of his
corner like a great grizzly bear.
Size cuts no ice with Ketchel. It's fight
ing ability alone that's making him feared
as much as Terry McGovern was a few
years ago. Ketchel seems to be a split be-
tween McGovern and Fitzsimmons in
fighting style. He tears in like McGovern.
He uses both hands equally well, like F1tz-
simmons. and, like Fitz, he punches so un-
expectedly, that the other fellows are
caught mapping. He dropped Mike Twin"
Sullivan with the first punch. He did the
same thing to Papke, who hit the floor as
soon as he got within range Of Ketchels
fists. Papke recovered enough TO make a
fight for il for the ten rounds. Ketchel
knocked Joe Thomas down the same way
in their first fight.
Looking over his record, II is easy to
figure that within a few months at the

why Ketchel should fail to make good in
weight just now is the same as that OF
Bob when he knocked out

weight.
Weight doesn't make so much difference
to a clever fighter with a good punch as
il does to a plain slugger. Terry McGovern,
at his best, beat down Joe Cans. Joe Cans
fights welterweights as successfully as
lightweights. He can hold the weller title
II he wants to. He proved that, when he
knocked out Mike Twin Sullivan so
easily, and when he fought Joe Walcott
a twenty-round draw in San Francisco.
II Ketehel keeps up his pace he will
probably fight Tommy Burns for the
heavyweight title within a year. Burns Is
not a real heavyweight either.
