In great crime mystery IL is con-

wise TO try every known criminal ON

guilty. There are too many hundreds
of criminals.
In desperate or obscure illness il
is the height of folly and extravaganza
to try" every known or unknown
remedy or so-called cure YOU hear
OF. There are TOO many of these sure
cures marketed in this glorious free
country where every individual is con-

For example. The man was about
forty-eieht years old. and the last six
or eight years had been invalid years.
All sorts OF hit-and miss, mostly miss,

by his dozen tsucccSsiVe) doctors, the
prcssiveness OF the title generally
varying inversely as the square OF
ease and comfort with which the doctor
had sat in his swivel chair ana OWNED

The patient naturally demurred. be-

none of the big doctors and specialists
who had already pronounced upon
the case considered the blood al all
bad. But the young doctor obstinatcly
and tactlessIy nsistcd-refused TO cx-
press an opinion without the eXamina-

Difference Between Knocker and

ence is subtly defined in the follow
ing, copied from bit of correspond
ence received at the chamber of COM
merce. When the Creator had made
all the good and beautiful things, in
order that they might be truly appre-
eiative, He then made the beasts and
reptiles and poisonous insects. When
He had finished He Rad left over
scraps that were too bad to put in the
rattlesnake, the hyena. the scorpion,
or the skunk; os He placed all these
together, covered it with Suspicion,
wrapped it with Jealousy, marked it
with Yellow Streak. and called it a
knocker. Then as compensation for
this fearful product, He took sun
beam and put it in the heart of a
child, the love of a mother, the brain
of a man, wrapped these in civic
pride, covered it with hrotherly love,
gave it mask of velvet, and mask
of steel, and called II Booster. He
made him lover of fields, and flow
ers, and manly sports, a believer in
equity and justice. Ever since these
two were created, mortal man has had
