The following letter received in

Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 27, 1914.
Mr. Tanner,
j Editor of the Newspaper,
! Skagway, Alaska.
I Dear Sir:
I undeistand that you have some
; knowledge of Soapy Smith and his
I family. We are endeavoring to es
tablish the identity of Walter H.
Dean who claims to l>c the son of
Soapy Smith and shall appreciate
(any information that you can give
us tending to show whether or not
Dean is really the son of Smith. 1
understand your brother, who waa
formerly at Skagwav, also knew
Smith very intimat^y and could
probably give us somt> information.
Wo will appreciate it il you will
give us his address in order that we
j may write to him.
There is a book published on
the life or Soapy Smith which 1 am
told is still in print and could be
obtained probably in Skagway. If
this is true and you can get hold
of one of them, 1 would be glad if
you would send it to me.
You may be able to recall oth
ers who probably knew Smith and
his family and their connection. If
so, we *vould be glad to have you
give us the names and addresses of
any that you think might help us
in clearing this matter up and we
shall thank you for anything you
can do to help us.
Very truly yourr,

A Doctor's
Story
By H. SANBORN BROWN
When I begun to practice medicine
I was inclined to give my patients
n diagnosis of their cases, but when I
had been detected in a number of
errors I found what reputation I had
gained as "one of those frank, out
spoken doctors, with no pretense about
him." gone. That I had diagnosed
whooping cough as a bad cold and
measles as eczema, with a number of
other blunders, got abroad, my prac
tice dropped away, and I was obliged
to pull up stakes and begin over again
in another locality.
In my new field I looked wise and
said nothing, or If I did say anything
it was that the case had not sulB
clently developed to admit of diag
nosis. This would have done very
well had I stuck to it stoically. Un
fortunately. patients or those interest
ed in them need at times to be buoy
ed. This fact got me into trouble
again. Called In to see a little child
who showed plainly the symptoms of
diphtheria, when I looked into the
mother's eager. questioning eyes I had
not the heart io tell her of her dar
llug's danger, so I told her it was a
case of sore throat.
All went well with the child, and
the diphtheritic membrane in the throat
was breaking down when the child's
graiidinothercauie to the house. The old
woman had seen a case of diphtheria
and on looking into the throat saw
that which she recognized.
"Heavens." she exclaimed to the
mother—"the child lias diphtheria!"
The mother fainted. The grandmoth
er ran to the telephone and. Ignoring
me. called on one of my fellow prac
titioners to come iu hot haste. lie at
once pronounced the case one of diph
theria. but, learning thnt I was treating
it. returned lo his otlice and called me
up by telephone. I explained the mat
ter: but. realizing that I had lost the
confidence of the family in question, I
begged him to take up the case where
I had left off and finish It. He did
so. anil the child, who was already
■early well, recovered.
That young mother soon knocked my
practice Into smithereens by telling
every one of her acquaintances that 1
didn't know n case of diphtheria from
one of sore thront.
Considering that my crime had really
been nothing more than a tenderness
of heart, this was hard to bear. Wo
men are n;>t to accept statements with
out question, and I was tabooed with
out an opportunity for defense. The
husbaud of the lady In question asked
me about the tnatter and when I ex
plained it tried to pacify his wife.
Hut no such excuse would be accepted
by her. "Any doctor not fit to treat a
cat could get off with such an excuse
as that." she said.
This time I made up my mind to
stami my ground. If I fled from the
tougues of the laity I would not be
worthy of a place in the profession.
After nil. whatever success a physi
cian attains, his real intrinsic standing
Is Used by his fellow workers. They
may not agree with him, but they will
not deny hi* ability. For a long while
I was dropped out of practice almost
entirely. But gradually other doctors
got into the habit of cnlling me in for
| consultation and recommending pa
( tients to me in cases coming within
[ my especial province, and at the end
: of about five years I found myself
again making a living. In ten years
I stood at the head of my profession
In the city in which I practiced.
But by this time my work as a general
practitioner had given way to surgery.
I There were but few recognized sur
! geons in the place, and this was of
j great advantage to me.
: One would suppose that a woman
! who had been indignant at my calling
; a case of diphtheria one of sore throat
aud in consequence had ruined my
j practice for several years would never
| again have any use f<»r my services.
But the child upon whom I was sup
J posed to have made such a blunder,
■ when twelve or thirteen years of age.
I contracted a bad case of appendicitis.
Au operation was considered necessary
by the family physician. He was not
a surgeon and would not operate him
self. When the mother asked him to
j nominate a surgeon for the case he
recommended me.
I Meanwhile the tongues she bad set
| wagging to my discredit had gradually
j got to swinging in niy favor. The estl
! mate of my coworkers In the profes
sion. together with the testimony of
patients I had helped, had reached the
| lady's ears, and, although she still be
lieved that at the time I treated her
child I didn't know a case of diphthe
ria from sore throat, affected by the
praise ot' me she heard, she greatly
| desired that I should perform an oper
I ation involving life or death upon her
| soa
A physician as sueli should nave no
accounts to settle with those who have
Injured him. 1 undertook the service
required of me with no more feeliug
than if I had never known her or her
child. But her former error forced her
on the second occasion to hear the
truth. When the operation had been
performed—and while performing It I
fi>rgot whose case it was—and the
I mother asked me If her boy would live
I replied:
"Do you wish me to speak plainly^"
"Yes."' she faltered. "Tell me the
worst What chance is there for him
to recover?" •
"To the best of my belief, one in
ten."
But the boy recovered.
