 I have often thought, when have seen the doctor struggle in vain to bring back health or save a life and noticed that notwithstanding the lack of success, he pursues the even tenor of his way, still strong and not cast down, that he is upheld by the con- sciousness of having performed his duty to the best of his ability what ever the consequences may have been and I think that he feels that gener- ally speaking his work is appreciated, although it may be that his is rare- ly told of the fact. Let me remind the members Of the profession that in spite or all the harsh things which are said about their germs, microbes, yaccines, cultures, bacilli and other small but efficient agencies, instru- mentalities, etc, the mass of the peo- pie, guided by common prudence, look to them as the source of all that is good, considerate and charitable when the hour of physical stress has ar- lived.

sERGT. CHARLES SCOTT
 RETURNS TO DUTY
Fort Wright Officer Says He Has
 Been Out in Oklahoma.

Sergt, Charles Scott of the One Hundred and F'orty-siXth Co. station ed at Fort Wright, who has been ab- sent from his post for nearly a month, without leave of absence, and who was at first thought to have been killed in the wreck at Bradford more than month ago, has returned to his duties. Scott claims that he has been out in Oklahoma
 Scott had been on leave of ab- sence which he spent in Providence The leave of absence expired Monday, April IT, and when he did not return, it was thought he was killed in the wreck. The fact that Sergeant Scott had up to that time always returned promptly and his conduct had been exemplary lent color to the theory.
 An investigation followed for sew eral days at the conclusion of which the military authorities at Fort Wright were satisfied that Sergeant Scott had not been in the wreck. He failed to report for about month after the expiration of his leave of absence but Monday he put in an ap- pearance at the fort.
 Sergeant Scott will be compelled to stand court martial which is the procedure taken in dealing with sol- diers who overstay their fur1oughs without permission.

TAKES AN APPEAL
 FROM LAND ORDER
Groton Man Believes Utility commis- sion Had No Power to Condemn His Property.

w. c. Jones of Groton has taken an appeal from an order of the public utilities commission approving the taking by the New Haven road of some property at Poquonoc owned by him for the purpose of improving the property. The appeal is taken to the superior court of, New London coun- ty and papers were served on the New Haven road by Deputy Sheriff J. H. Tubbs
 The appellant alleges that on Feb. 2S, the New Haven road filed a peti- tion with the state public utilities commission dated two days before to approve taking land owned by him in Poquonoc for the purpose of add ing to it's main tracks and for cut tings, slopes and entertainments, for improvink it's line, altering the width of it's layout and procuring stone and gravel for necessary turnouts. A hear ing was held March IA in Hartford and on April ', the public utilities commission issued an order approY- ing the petition.
 The plaintiff alleges that the order was arbitrary and illegal for the req sons that no evidence was introduced at the hearing showing that the land sought was necessary, that the road did not need the land for the pur- poses mentioned in the petition and that the public utilities commission had no power to approve the peti- tion as Chapter 128 of the Public Acts of 1911, under which the petition was approved, is void and of no effect be- ing contrary to article 2 of the state constitution.
 The appeal is returnable before the superior court the first Tuesday in June. Waller, Waller, Avery and Gallup represent the appellant.
