Show I . Let Imps Pray for Osier; ej Ma M I Editor Telegram: The brilliant farewell fare-well address that Dr. William Osier made at Johns Hopkins university must have required a great deal of research from the fertile and cultivated brain that he evidently must posses. Such logic would hate about' as much Influence Influ-ence In advancing this country in slcence, literature, art. Inventions, medical med-ical colleges, etc., as a mosqultd rubbing Its bill on an Iceberg, trying to create an aurora borealis. He says a large portion of the evils are traced tothe sexagenarians. Such assertions would vanish under investigation like a snow-flake snow-flake under the scorching rays of a meridian me-ridian sun In a tropical clime. The doctor seems to think that the old should pay a royalty for the Inventions, Inven-tions, advancements and improvements that they have made, to the rising generation, gen-eration, for the privilege of living. I suppose he would be willing to buy the chloroform to dispatch us with if he could get It on "tick." We will yet have to Invent magnifying magnify-ing glasses powerful enough to discern the .Infinitesimal sparks of generosity hovering around such Images created In the shape of humanity. Dr. Osier must not think that every old man will follow" the example of Capt. William 8. Winder of Baltimore kill himself after reading his "hybrid" statement. What must be the thoughts of parents stepping across the threshold of 60 after an absence of thirty years to greet a son who utters such sentiments? Let Imps kneel and pray that he may learn to have his ideas flow in a channel chan-nel of advancement. SEXAGENARIAN. Bingham. Utah. |
