| tucAh IN W IthucI one which A. flth IN NNlu-
able facts of benefit to all. Americas great
est orator declared that he knew OF no way
judging the ,alnre but by the past; and past
personal experience Is OF the same Hstui, as
that history which repeats itself.
A representative of this paper lille
lounging In the lobby of u PROMINENT New
York hotel, met a gentleman whom he had
known years before In the city OF Detroit,
but whom he had not seen before for a num-
Der OF years. When the knight OF the quili
had last seen this gentleman. he was giving
his entire time and attention TO an extensive
medical practice. and was on the crest OF tho
wave OF popularity. From Detroit he re-
moved 10 New YORK where he could ind a
more extensive field for his talents and ex-
perience. Although several years had passed
the doctors physical condition had evident
ly been very much improved. for he was
looking much better than when the man OF
news had last seen him. Alter some general
talk. the doctor fell into an easy train of con-
versation and uttered some truths 30 scien-
the and valuable. as to Justify their repro
duction In print.
-Yes.' said the doctor, II have improved
In health since you last saw me and ! hope
also In many other ways. One thing, how
ever. have succeeded In doing, and II IL one
of the hardest things for any one. and On.

overcome my preJudices. You know there
are some people who prefer To remain ON the
wrong rather than acknowledge the mani
fest right. Such prejudice leads TO bigotry OF
the worst order. aud OF precisely the same
nature al characterized the sixteenth century
when people were burned at the stake. Now
l am a physici IN and of tho old school order,
too; but l nave after years OF experience and
observation come To the conclusion tLnt

scribing anything out OF the regular order,
