MAN WINS WAGER
OUTLIVED HIS FRIENDS LONDON, March .">. Thomas Hyde, of Doddington, Kent, who died yesterday, was the last of Three Musketeers of Death. With two other young men, Fred Clifford and Spencer Pitts, of the same village, he found himself condemned to die from an incurable disease. The three made a compact—always to be together, always to be cheerful, always to make others cheerful. Hyde wagered the others he would outlive thorn. He won. They both died a year ago.
