Cure For Cancer.

Thousands OLIVES now needlessly sac-
rificed 10 cancer could be saved II the
patient would go TO the surgeon as
promptly as does the average person at
tackled by appendicitis. Nor is there any
reason why the cancer patient should not
seek this, the only safe treatment, with
the same degree OF confidence in the out
come that is now common among those
suffering from the other more fashionable
diseases. Unfortunately, the evidence is
only too clear that different attitude to-
ward cancer prevails and occasions many
preventable deaths. The almost super
SitiouS dread OF the disease and unwill-
iugneSs to admit IFS existence or to seek
medical advice in time are well known
and difficult obstacles TO progress in its
control. Proof of this fatal neglect is
found in the experience OF prominent
surgeon who recently studied his case
records in order to.obtain definite infor-
nation as TO the delay in the average
case. OF 65 recent patients IS were men
and 30 women. Further study OF these
60 cases showed that after the first dis
covery OF suspicious symptoms the men
had waited an average of II ? months be-
fore consulting the doctor, and the women
had waited, on The average, ll9 months,
practically a years delay in all cases.
Many other surgeons could produce very
similar records. Winter, OF Koenigsberg,
Prussia, the pioneer in the education OF
the public in regard TO cancer, examined
the records of ,062 operataole cases and
showed that 81 per cent OF these patients
could, and should, have applied for treat
ment much earlier, when they would
have had fairer chance of recovery than
was actually the case.
To delay when the symptoms are man
ifest must be added TO the precious indef-
mite period after beginning OF the disease
and before the patient realizes the trouble.
This period can be shortened by educa
ton. Fortunately, the symptoms OF cam
Ger are present quite early and can usu-
ally be recognized if the patient under
stands their importance. In too many
instances, however, the disease is not
suspected until the symptoms are pro-
nounced or until there is tumor OF con-
siderable size. II we assume that this
period averages six months, and then add
the years delay Tor which the patient IS
responsible. we find that the average pa
tient does not seek advice until at least
year and a half after the onset OF cancer
The precious time thrown away means,
if not a fatal outcome, at least serious
instead OF mi11f operation.
In the present state OF knowledge OF
this malignan, i.5c.5, it cannot be too
frequently emphasized that the hope OF
curing cancer is to be found in its earlier
recognition and in prompt and competent
surgical treatment. The unfortunate pa
tient who, because OF ignorance or un-
warranted tear or the Establishments OF
quackS, realizes that in this delay he or
she is sreckleSsly throwing away a splendid
chance OF cure.

Expected Luck to Continue.

"Private John" Allen was surrounded
by a group of appreciative listeners In
the Willard, and the conversation drifted
to poker playing, says the Washington
Post. Everybody had a story. in which,
of course, the so-called element OF luck
figured.
THAT reminds me OF fellow down IN
TupeIo." began "Private John" "He
had come into town and his excuse Tor
hunting little game was that he had
lost a mule on his iarm and he wanted to
win enough money TO replace the animal.
He bought ten dollars worth OF chips and
lost 'em. Another ten dollars worth ne
purchased. and again he lost. BY that
time he began TO mutier things about his
luck.
"First thing know I'll lose another
mule, he grumbled. But he passed over
another ten dollars and took some more
chips, which he promptly lost. he was
in the midst OF parting with the fourth
ten dollars when a colored servitor en-
iered the room and handed him iele-
gram. He glanced at IT. looked serious
for a moment, and resumed playing.
"Hope II isn't any bad news sug-
gested one OF the players.
"Well, you can't call il bad news. was
the reply. An aged aunt OF mine in
Texas has just died. There's a little

"He bought still another $40 worth,
with the remark that he gussed he had
better LEI the old mule 90 without trying
10 get another, and gave vent TO some
thing about the 'demdest luck he ever
had. One more $40 went the wrong
way. and then IN sudden burst OF anger
he threw down his cards and exclaimed
"'Derned II this amt The worst luck
ever played in. I'll just bet tha, in the
morning III get word that my aunt amt
dead after all, but fell in a iit.'

Arthur asked.

been cut by southern barber, and on

ment. care those the only signs by which

I.ee's Last Order.

General Lees last order, and when and
why il was delivered, were recounted by
former officer in Lees army at the re-
cent reunion Of the Northern and Southern
veterans at Gettysburg. In the closing
days of the Civil War, Governor Wise OF
Virginia, at the call OF his State, and de-
spite his age. joined Lees troops. ln
his younger days Lee was a great favoiie
of the governor, and the latter was made
brigadier- general by the former. He
fought with reckless bravery, and was
fiercely engaged in the last fighting OF the
war, when a rumor OF Lees surrender
reached him.
"Then," as the story runs, "filed with
astonishment and anxiety, he turned his
horse at the close OF the fight, and spurred
in search of his commander in chief. AS
he splashed along the muddy road, un-
kempt, unshaven, and himself a spatter
OF mud, after forty-eight hours in the sad
die, he chanced upon General Lee and
his staff on their way 10 arrange the de-
tails OF the surrender with General Grant.
1.-The fiery old autocrat, too much over
borne by tumultuous emotions to give
thought TO military discipline, and for-
getting that General Lee was not still his
young protege, pushed through the circle
OF officers, and riding up to his command
er. blurted out: General, what's this talk
| hear about suuendering
"'It is true replied Lee, sadly; and
overlooking the old warriors gross breach
OF discipline, he added, i am just on my
way to meet General Grant
Surrender calculated the old gov
ernor. i am astounded, sir And what
am to do2 Tell me. what am ] to DO,
sir?'
"As General Lee gazed upon his over
wrought subordinate, his eye, even in
that hour of bitter trial, caught the ludi-
crous aspect Of the doughty old soldier as
he sat there besplashed from crown TO
toe, his bare head tangled mass of witch
knots, his face dirty motile Of mud,
streaked like the makeup Of masquer-
ade, with powder smuts running crafty
alhwan his features. his whole appear
ance in grotesque contrast TO the tragic
sorrow that overwhelmed him. The
ghost OF q smile fitted over the sad coun-
tenance Of the commander as he replied
gently TO the old generals insistent query:
4 think, general, you had better 90 home
and wash your face =
"And, with nod. he departed, leaving
the astonished old soldier with painful
miscellany Of feelings TO carry out the
last order Of General Lee"

The Joy of Incompleteness.

II all our life were one broad glare
CT sunlight. clear. unclouded
II all our path were smooth and fair,
By no soft gloom enshrouded;
II all life's flowers were fully blown
Without the sweet unfolding.
And happiness were rudely thrown
On hands too weak for holding
Should we not miss the twilight hours.
The gentle haze and sadness
Should we not long for storms and showers
To break the constant gladness?
If none were sick and none were sad.
What service could we render?
think If we were always glad,
We scarcely could be tender.
Did our beloved never need
Our patient ministration,
Earth would grow cold and miss indeed
Its sweetest consolation;
If sorrow never claimed our heart.
And every wish were granted,
Patience would die, and hope depart
Life would be disenchanted.
And yet in heaven is no more night.
In heaven is no more sorrow
Such unimagined new delight
Fresh grace from pain will borrow.
As the poor seed that underground
Seeks its true life above it.
Not knowing what will there be found
When sunbeams kiss and love II;
So we in darkness upward grow,
And look and long for heaven,
But cannot picture ii below
Till more OF light be given.
