Mr.. Owens Treatment of DR.. Hufham

For some little time Rev. DR.. HUFF
ham has been having trouble with
his eyes. One of them at least was
affected to such extent that he has
found it both difficult and injudicious
to use them in the pursuit of his
literary work and the preparation of
his sermons. And to deprive the
Doctor of the boon of writing is the
next worst thing to stopping him
from talking-if that we're possible.
Believing if he had t ypewriter he
could get along with his work to bet
ter advantage and less strain on his
eyes that very clever gentleman Mr..
j. b. Owen made DR.. Hufham a pres
ent of Remington typewriter.
Such action on Mr.. Owens part was
uncalled for except by the voice of
his own generous nature, but DR..
Huffman accepts as both Christian
and gentlemanly this kind of treat
ment, and is justly proud of so valu-
able and useful gift.
