Osler's Cure for Gout.

In reality Doctor Osler is mild-man.

humor, as witness the following cure
for govt which he once recommended
to a friend:
First, pick a handkerchief from
the pocket of spinster who never
wished to wed; second, wash the
handkerchief in an honest miller's
pond; third, dry 1t on the. hedge of q
person who has never been covetous;
fourth, send it to the shop of ply
stefan who never killed a patient;
fifth, mark 1t with lawyers ink who
never cheated a client; and, sixth

part. A speedy cure must follow"

The memorial is to consist of plain

No Hereditary Descent in Politics

r HE passing of great baronial houses
! in politics is stimulated by the last
elections. Another blow has been de-
livered to the practice in several in
stances of handing the senatorial toga
from father to son. State Senator Ar
thur P. German, Democrat, of Mary
land, was only running for governor
to be sure, but 1t was generally rec
ognized that had he been elected he
would soon have become formidable
candidate for the United States senate,
where his father of the same name
served for many years. The late Sem
ator German started his only son upon
political career by reason of his in
fluence with the state machine, and
undoubtedly looked ahead to the day
when the son would become senator.
The Germans are related to the Da-
vises and Elkinses, of West Virginia, a
neighboring state. All three families
made considerable money in the same
ventures, but not all their money for
the late Senator German died a mil
lionaire, the late Senator s. B. Elkins,
Republican, died multi-millionaire,
and ex-senator Henry Gassaway Davis,
cousin of German and father-in-law of
Elkins, is the richest of them all and
close to 80 years old. Young Davis
Elkins got into the United States SEN
