In hopes if cancer Is found to be on-
taglous he will be able to save thousands
upon thousands of lives.
'Tin has asked me not to make public
his nmne. Ho doesn't want nny publicity.
This he makes very plain In his letter.'?
The writer of this article does not be
lieve in Uie prevalent fashion of inocu
lating animals or human beings with
poisons, but so long as such s custom Is
popular with so-called scientific men and
so long as helpless and frightened ani
mals, afe used, for .experimentation, it
would seem that the offer of this pris
oner should be accepted.
It has been said that. there Is no higher
act possible for man than to give his life
for others. Whoever goes tp his death
with a reat, unselfish Impulse to do
good to others by dying, mounts on that
Impulse to a higher spiritual plane. Such
an impulse is a greater factor In man's
regeneration than years of tlms spent In
listening to dogmas or creeds. The man
who la looking forward to a whole life
spent within prison bars is not likely to
grow' In "grace or develop spirituality
which will be of value to him when his
final hour comes.
He will dwell on gloomy ' and bitter
thoughts, or useless remorse'.' or hopeless
desire for revenge. Ho will hate his fel
low men and when he passes out of the
body ho will find a world beyond, , like
unto his 'thoughts.
Allowed to use his unselfish impulse to
die for the benefit of the human race at
me nana or science, he will be lifted up
into a higher strata 'where his spirit will
find an environment In accordance with
that, impulse. There is no reason why
this .man should not bo allowed to do this
sen' Ice for science (or thla act which
science believes Is a service.) There is
great laudation of the soldier who throws
his body upon the swords of foes, with
the Idea of serving his country; but this
convict has a higher idea that of serving
the race, it -1s much more humane to
accept his offer, that to drag unreason
ing and unwilling animals, to tho sur
geons' table. ' '
The world contains many thousands of
hopeless Invalids and life prisoners who
would doubtless be glad to offer them
selves to science as this man has dona

Tho flmt blunder was yours. You should
never have given your permission to any
girl for whom you felt real respect to
dance with a stranger. Of course, she
ahould not have gone on dancing with
him, but you can hardly blame her after
your own lack of proper dignity. A man
