ability to SO introduce people as to
make the introduction beneficial to

that people like to be known, not. only

with another stranger J,
In 9 few seconds Cunningham ap-
preached and introduced the stranger
to the Doctor, saying: "Dr. Penrose,
Imake you acquainted with Mr.. Hem

Northern points from that city and

about Alaska, distances, routes Of tray-

After the Doctor had introduced me
to Cunningham and his Seattle friend,
Cunningham proceeded to dilate on
the merits of DR.. Penrose for the infor-
nation of the party just introduced
from Seattle, saying: gsssss;;:s.
DR.. Penrose is the discoyerer and
