Hummocks grow where the leaky spout

big piles of snow on either side. People
push past with swift tread-head down,
hands pocketed. lips closed, eyes aglow-

sparrow under the caves is missed. Icicles

that the Electropoise has been in use
by DR.. K. but five days. having been
erected in his Office on July Goth.
He said II used to be such ran
tankerous allopath that I would not
look at a homeopath across the
street. But I found that they could
effect cures that I could not with my
methods, SO I went to their college and
graduated. Now, if you will show me
a still better method, I will adopt it in
my practice and advocate its use.
He has large practice among the

cial train to carry him to see some
