Washington, Dec. 14.-The chief
trouble with the Seventeen Congress
is that it looks so much like the Six
ty-ninth.
Congress is like q pair Of pants.
The country never has had q new
pair and never will. Each election
finds some new patches at Q point
where the voters either perceived q
hole or threadbare spot instead Of
serviceable material.
In the course Of two o. three
decades SO many patches are necessi-
tated that the pants are all patches
and thus in . sense new, but patches
themselves are being patched every
two years with the result that each
time the country puts them on they
appear to be almost the same as be-
fore but not quite.

Messenger of Mercy

Messenger OF Mercy
The human body has been greatly classified
during the last few decades, and there is a
specialist for this and that i'll which the flesh
lis heir to.
But there remain those emergencies which no
specialist hidden away in a busy modern clinic
or office building can meet and for which there
is one friend upon whom we must continue to
rely-the old-fashioned messenger of mercy,
the country doctor.
High up in the Thunder mountains of Idaho,
remote from transportation, fenced in from the
world by snow-clad peaks 10000 feet high, a
young miner the other day lay fighting death
from influenza.
!: Word of his plight drifted down from that
icy fastness to Mccall, village in central
idaho. The word reached the little office where
"a country doctor-Dr Don Numbers-kept his
1iaison of medicine and mercy with far-fung
field.
Seriously ill., That was the word. It was
all that was needed. The message went rapidly
around the village. Masters of dog teams
dogs that had won famous derbies in the north
West-offered their swift, strong little racers
TO the doctor for this derby with death.
! Up into the hills over mile after mile of
dangerous trails and over no trails at all, the
country doctor sped on his mission of mercy.
Over shrouded hillsides where false step in
&he deep snow would have meant his own death,
carrying on and upward, with the dogs scratch
ing, heaving, tugging, for the sake of life.
I The feet of the dogs were bleeding and torn
4vhen the first stop was made at Warrens.
Other dogs were quickly offered and the doc

1eet high, covered with nine feet of treacherous
@now!
= Then to the tiny cabin where the fingers Of
Seath were closing about the throat of it's
youthful victim. A day with boy who had al
most given up the unequal battle. A day Of
brightness as though the sun had dropped out
Of the skies into that crude cabin. A day of
lard work and hope and struggle.
: Then, a life saved, the long trip back to the
title office, and longer wait for the call again.
& Day after dull day there in that drab little
1ffice-then the call. That is the life Of the
country doctor. messenger Of medicine and
mercy, hero and savior among men.
