The experience OF any one of education

while no two experiences in this world are
alike, there Is such q similarity between

but whom he had not seen before for n num-
Der of years. When the knight OF the gull
had last seen this gentleman. he was giving
his entire time and attention 10 an extensive
medical practice. and was on the crest Of the
wave OF popularity. From Detroit he re-
moved TO New YORK where he could md 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 SO scien-
tinc and valuable. as TO justify their repro
duction In print.

are some people who prefer to remain on the

when people were burned at tue stake. Now

upon their enforcement in order to keep the

''oh, they are the result OF my experience
