The New York Medical Record, re-
viewing a recent article by DR.. r. #.
Bashford on Cancer, Credulity and
Quackery," recently published in the
British Medical Journal, notes that
DR. Bashford has described all the nu'
merous cancer cures that have been
exploited before the public aud gives
his conclusions: That a secret remedy
for cancer is possessed by no man or
woman; that If 1t existed its success
would speedily cause all human en-
deavor to concentrate upon its divul-
gence. and no quack could retain 1t
for himself alone. The form OF treat.
ment, which is public property-tbat
is, removal by surgery-has nothing TO
fear. but much to gain by comparison
with its only competitor-rem removal by
caustics. These substitutions for the

forces, also bichromate of potassium,

WOULDN'T STAY 0USTED.
Champ Cisrk's Church Experience Il
His Early DAYS,

Champ Clark became member of
the Canpbellite church very early In
life, and thereby hangs tale.
While still young man he went to
the town of Louisiana, Mo-, to estab
lish himself. The town was lusty,
busting, typical Mississippi river
town of the steamboat era. and there
was good deal of life there, in which
Mr. Clark became factor. Evening
parties to take moonlight trips up and
down the river were very much In
vogue, and one evening the young law
yer went up the river on one Of these
parties. which had chartered a barge
called tn Mamie. in tow of the river
steamer War Eagle. There was dane
ing ali the way up the river and back,
! and Mr.. Clark, In the youthful exuber-
ance of his spirits. was one of the gay
throng.
When the next Sunday rolled around
and young Clark, unconscious Of the
coming storm, went as usual TO the
Campellite church. where few weeks
previous he had put in his letter from
the church he had belonged to back
east, his case was called up and after
swift but formal trial before serv-
ices at the bar of the church he was
ANONYMOUSLY expelled from member.
ship for dancing Chagrined, humil-
lated and crestfallen, young Clark
wandered forth in a Respondent mood.
but after walking around for time
he resolutely returned to the church,
slipped la and took seat on the last
bench In the rear, observed by none.
There he sst and heard sermon on
backsliding that seemed to be directed
at him alone.
As was the custom I'm the Campbell
lite church, an invitation was extend
ed by the pastor at the end Of the SER
mon for repentant sinners to come
forward and kneel at the chancel.
When this invitation was extended
Champ Clark solemnly arose. marched
forward to the mourners' bench and,
to the astonishment OF the congrega-
ton, took his place with the penitents.
The pastor was nonplussed. the pre-
siding elder gasped; the deacons were
stunned with establishment, and all
were temporarily at their wits end to
know what to do with the repentant
brother who only that morning had
been expelled from the congregation.
The book containing the rules and
laws of the church was hastily dug up
and consulted. All the officials put
their heads together, but there was
only one thing to do--a repcntant sin.
ner could not be turned away, so
Clark went back into the fold and
there abideth to this day.
