of care are lacking in his countenance.

| has perched upon his crown. Not quite
| as straight, perhaps. as then, but he
| still moves with Q quick, elastic step,
| and his is a parsonage noticeable in q
! crowd
He dresses well, as in the old days,

| married the daughter of Ichabod
Washburn, the founder of the great
| Washburn & Moen Manufacturing
| company, the largest producers Of Wire
| in the country. He took the great
secret to his grave with him, and it
might have always remained one of
the worlds great mysteries had not
| the former doc" Wilson but the pres
ent L. W. Moen given the world the
| key to it when he declared:
II took the name because / was en-
| titled to it."
