and though
we are
sorry
o
lose
such
an able
medical
man fron:
this
is-

we must
wisk him
a
brilliant
future
wherever
he
gces.
Through
his
courteous
manner,
and
self-
sacrificing
nature,
he
has
made friends
of ‘the
entire
com munity,
and
he
goes
leaving behind
him
a record
to be envied
by
many
men
of hie profession
What

1o be ad

in him
apart
from
his
unequalied
skill,
1¢ his humble-
ness.
and
tender
manners
in dealing with
poor
patients.
His
mission
has
in-
deed
been
one
of
love,
where
his first
consideration
was to help the
suffering,
even
at
the
expense
of
making
many
personal
sccrifices.
He
called
it
his
duty. but
we call it love of humanity.
Dr.

Anunything
about
booze
interests
Daddy.
He
says
as
he
has
been
off the
stuff for
several
months,
he
was
not
soused
when
he
red
the
artikle,
but
stiil he
cannot
fig-
ure out
whether
the
intoxicants
will
be
sold from

If there
is
any
prise
to
be
offered
to the
person
who
understands
it, he
is
not
there,
bui if
the prise
is
to
be offered
to the
one
who finds
the most
errors
like Mr.
Svendsen
gives for *'Peg
O’
The
Ring,”’
please
let
him
know
so
he
can
send
in his
apswer.
Daddy
says
he
doesn’t
know
how
things
are
“up in the
States’’ since
he left, but
as
regards
whether
the
"measure
woulid
not
bte
very
beneficial.
e
thinks
the
“West End

might
take
up
a
plebecite
on that,
provided
the
votes
are
valid and the persons
voting will at least
not disown
having done
so.
