There is as yet little data as to just how long an individual can live without a stomach, neither is there, as to how long he may live with one. Statistics concerning both conditions will appear early in 1910 in the Annals of Police Surgery by Drs Bates Lane and Hyndls of Kansas City, Mo. The motto of these famous surgeons is lndicated in the following: Le-t us, then, be up and cutting, With an eye to every curve, Tho the appendix keeps on butting And the knife should chance to swerve Other cutting bouts have taught us How to play this little game, So we feel that those who've sought us Still may live to bless our name. llli-.ii- Why is it, Mr. Osborne, Said Dr. McKillip one day, As he quizied on diagnosis In hi-s own peculiar way, Why do y-ou never have pneumonia ln the middle lobe on left hand side? I don't know, really, doctor, Said C. D., yawning wide. Because there is no middle lobe l In the aforesaid lung. And C. D. sadly hung his head And murmured gently, stung!

After two hours of this we retire. Very strange it is, not to hear the harsh rasping voice of the pater in the early morning, sounding up through the cold hall that has received no heat Cwaves of molecular vibration-J since the humid Au- gust days, calling me to Clit up now and git the feedin' done. Only the faint sounds of the oven door slamming in the kitchen, where the mater and elder s-is- ter thrash about to get hot biscuits for me for breakfast. Occasionally the plain- tive bawling of a calf, that the younger brother, like myself in days not far re- m-oved, has left out in the pasture all night to bed upon the beautiful snow. At last with a feeling that I am doing my family a great fav-or, I get up, dress and saunter down to the dining room, or kitchen rath- er, as they are eating in the kitchen now since I went away to study medicine. So it is everywhere, we are treated as though we were just a little bit out of the ordi- nary-and in truth, we are! get off to myself and ask if I can then as if it just has no other en- gagement.

For when sister called up t'The Girls' mother to ask about the amount of spice to put in the sausage Calthough there wasn't a fat hog on the placel, and incidentally men- tioned the fact that I was at home. Well, of course, I get the date and go over at seven thirty to stay until ten, which ac- And in the afternoon I and call up The Girl, make a date for tonight, occurred to me, if she cording to the custom is leaving time, only I, the favored one, may stay till ten thirty.
