LEGALLY Better Off.

/, The creditors of the ancient king
had become so unpleasantly insistent
that he resolved to put them where
they could trouble him no more. SO
he invited them to great banquet,
and when they had feasted and drunk
Of his prepared wine he instructed his
servants to convey them to his deepest
dungeons. And the next morning
when he went down to learn whether
his servants had done his bidding his
creditors raised their voices and en-"
treated to be set free. But he remon-
strated with them, saying:
my friends, you have no just cause
for complaint Are you not better OF
in the eye of the law than ever be-
fore? Any lawyer will tell you that
a. secured creditor has an exceptional
,cinch." Then he left them and went
on his gladstone way, happy IN the
knowledge that he could at last go
through his 'dominions without being
dunned.- Chicago News.

81 II is not too much to say that the
medical profession today no longer be-
lieyes that any drug with a few excep-
lions, like quinine in malaria, mer-
curry and the antitoxins) will cure
disease as such. Ali that it will do is

tive are no longer content, In the
biting phrase of Voltaire, to pour
drugs Of which we know little into
bodies of which we know less" what
will help one patient will harm another,
and what may be beneficial in the
early stage of a disease will be useless
Of. even injurious in later stage.
iis3In the language of Captain Cutie,
the effect Of a drug like 1.-THE bearin'
of an observation" depends on the ap-
rlication on it." 1t is neither rational
nor safe blIndly to swallow down a
drug which is highly recommended In
d certain disease and expect 1t to do
the rest" There is no such thing as
universal cure for a disease nor even
a remedy which can be relied upon as
"a good thing to take" at any and all
stages Of it.-Dr. Woods Hutchinson In

Gauadiq Giaadab.

There was q quaint old man in Man
chester, England, who for many years
went by the unique name of Gagadig
Gigadab. His original name was John
Smith, and for many years he brooded
over the possibilities Of mistaken iden-
fifty involved in it. The name figured
frequently in criminal records, and he
became abnormally apprehensiye lest
he might be confused with some OF
the bad John Smiths. At last what be
feared so much actually happened.
One morning the papers reported the
arrest Of an accountant in bank Tor
embezzlement, and through some blun-
der Of the reporter the identity OF the
embezzler was confused with the sub
ject of this article, who was also
bank accountant. Then and there he
determined to assume name ike
unto no other ever borne by mortal
man. And in Gagadig Gigadab most
people will agree that he succeeded In
SO doing.-New York Tribune.

The musical doctor stepped into the
