the dividend OF a wholesome and temperate
life was manifested in the cheerfulness "hlcn

he took IN the doings Of his friends and family.
on Tuesday night Dr. Durham informed the
,o,.snaner men that he was not discouraged by
the many changes in the condition or MS pa

she was In a much brighter mood than on the
two previous days when she sought the fresh air.
When Dr. Dunham appeared In the looDy OF
the hotel in the morning, many inquiries were
nut m him but in regard to all direct questions
he was inclined TO be evasve. While he would
