When I was a yoiiug «bs-tor Just !
graduated I found making a living a
Very «lith' Ult job I wished to start In '
by doing b««tpilal work. There was
an excellent u<«pltal In a suburban
toru where I kuew some |s*ople. amt

[ Tbe v|Uesti< ii ibal lurued Ibe scale

"When you have done everything III
your |siwer tut a patient, what is the
next step?"
Having a vein of satirical humor In
me. I answered Ibe question lu Ibis
wise:
"Het rid ot him by sending him on a
trip."
(
I saw by tbe grim looks «if llie exam

tu this wise ;
“Try mmiething new even If It has

him the lienetit of ti««|ie. lt*«nkies. we

While I was struggling for a pnt<"
tice I one day received a hurry call to
see a child who had got a coin In his
windpipe He was Inn four years old
Hud. havlbg Isen given the i-oin. was
»■ dellgblisl Hutt he had put II III Ills
moil Hi and started across the street to
buy candy with It. Forgetting It. he
breathed It lu
When I reached the patient I found
two or three dt«-tors: I ba«t lte««ti call

message eatne was not In my olh' e
Tbe oldest and foremost distor ot
tb*«ee preselll was Dr. Hlblis who ten
years iH'fnre had flisired me on exami
nation liv asking me what shoilkl tie
done when everything had Is'en done
He didn't reinemlH«r me. and I was
glad be didn't, for I dreaded to nteei
him.
I found these doctors In the very po
sltiun Imlicnteil by that <)UesH<«n. They
bud done everything tbal i'oiiltl is*
done, but they hadn't remov<«d tlie
coin front the child's throat. Dr. Glldm
apiieared tu tie the most despoti«l«nl
of the lot. Assuming a Herce tone. I
said:
"What are you gentlemen doing here,
staudlug alssit and bolding your
bands? Are you going to let the child
die of ntrangn lot Ion?"
.My remarks were made to all the
doctors present, but as I spoke I look
ed daggers nt Dr. Gibbs.
“We've irteil everything." be said.
“Well. sir. wbat's the uexl thing to
do wbeu you're tried everything?"
“Perhaps you cau tell us." he retort
ed tartly
"Yea, air: I can. When a doctor has
, tried everything and all things have
failed It Is his duty to try someHiing
else, no mutter how remote It may
seem from the patient's ailment"
“Well." asked Dr. Glbba. “wlint do
you suggest?"
"Desperate cr.se« need desperate

mid I stuck lo bltu. teeilug all the
while tbal his iiessiinlsm was but skin

proviai tils ibisiry of general Hrinslmr«s
was by declining to s|a*ud Ills money

what lie did with tils surplus • flange

Tin« would start anew arguments
that had already la*m wont thread-

Poland would lose atmtuer

"In Hie ease of a «ommon tlilel wlm

“I would think him an element ot ho -

Wells and me. who defended Pmaml
Alan and I were talking Hie mailer

tie wondered wlnit Oscar did with bis
money
There was certniuly uu evi

to offer n friend a cigar. Thuf same
evening we were walklug along ««tie ot

suddenly Poland apiieared ahead ot us.
"Let'« shallow him " «aid Alan. "We
may find out something"
"If I thought fora moment we should

I'm with vmi"
So we lngg<*d behind Just far enough
to keep Oscar In sight, now amt again

Presently we saw him go Into « dry
