Is the most pleasing OF any physician

clings about his heavy muscular

Is no doubt quito true.
Such man Is worth more to a
community than any quantity of
physic. and 1t was indeed sad day
for us all when the doctor gave up
general practice and became spe-
cialist OF the eye and ear But his
increasing weight (not years for he

disinclination to all physical exertion

waited on our table had been in the
Huntington employ for some two or
three years. She was perhaps 20
years old. We called her Nettie.
and she was really very remarkable

were very black. and her skin warm

and her pronunciation disastrous; but
she was attentive and faithful. and we
all made much OF her. except Mrs Kill

magnificent manner. and wondered
audibly how we could put ourselves
on level with people OF that sort.
Naturally. Nettie did not form any
special attachment for Mrs. Kilfoyle;
while for DR.. Berkly. who had been a
boarder at the hotel longer than any

equally evident and 1t is possible
