tracted more than the usual attention
only because the man himself Is 80
well known and because he came to
this country under peculiar circum-
stances. The standard of conduct of
the medical profession Is something of
which one can hardly write without a
glow of admiration. No profession IL
the world has a higher code of ethics.
The Hippocratic oath Is no longer ad.
ministeretl. yet physicians still observe
It's obligations. They make public all
discoveries and inventions which may
benefit the race and take no patents
upon nor profit from them. They give
the same faithful service and exercise
the same skill for n small fee as for
large one, and the amount of work
which they do gratuitously Is known
only to themselves and to the recip.
tents of their charity. The medical
man Is indeed noble figure In our
life. We take of our hats to him.

Franklin Stone, Of Philadelphia, has
for years been living double life. To
those who knew him and his wife and
two sons, socially, he was the ideal
family man. He was a banker and
broker. leading member Of church,
liberal In his contributions to charity,
and to all appearances a heightened
gentleman. There was another side to
this man. Away from home he was
Intimate with gamblers. owned race
horses on which he risked heavy bets.
belonged to club which promoted oil
sorts Of questionable sports and had
capital Invested In one Of the most
notorious pool rooms In New York
City. OF course he was discovered.
1t Is only strange he was not found out
long ago. And this case affords occa-
sion for saying, There Is in every man
dual nature. Some years ago DR..
Sequard.Drown promulgated the the.
DRY Of the dual brain and It Is said
that his Idea set Stevenson to thinking
along this line Of duality. resulting in
the conception Of 1.-THE Strange Case
OF DR.. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde" And It
may be said that every man has within
him. whether In his brain or not.

is the Mr.. Hyde part-what one really
Is. The DR.. Jekyl IL honorcd and re.

Is really the stealthy, ferocious Mr..

surprise. "A man In high station fall.

There has been the struggle Of years
between DR.. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde. The
former hates. fears. abhors the latter.
He turns sick with apprehension at
the mere mention Of the name. The
two fight for the possession Of the
man. II Jekyl wins Hyde disappears.
