We're no reservations and his devotion
TO the government of his adoption is

arrival at his old home in Canada, he
met an old friend in store, who was
Spanish sympathizer 1t provoked
an argument and the doctor energetic
ally asserted that English people who
dlsapproved of the course of the Unit
ed States Ill this war, We're incapable
of approaching disinterested purpose

Whan this called forth a disparaging
remark regarding the United States
from the other side, the doctors wrath
broke forth and he plainly announced
that blow was the only proper reply
to such retorts and to avoid going to
that extremity he would quit the place,
and he did. He discovered later that
his whllOm friend was the only Span
lsh sympathlzer in the place People
here who know how even tempered
and tolerant the doctor is, would give
