viduals, to communities, and to the
human race. Within a very short time
the editor of tl1is paper has seen Mrs.
Eddy and with her taken counsel upon
public affairs in Concord. She was then
In a strength of spirit, mind and body
far beyond what anyone would have a
right to expect from a woman of her
age. Her words were direct and simple
her discernment acute and sympathetic,
her manner cordial and unaffected
Since then the writer has met her car
riage almost daily upon our streets
and it's distinguished occupant has
never failed to return a smiling greet
ing of recognition. This has happened
within four days, when, in narrow
street where recognition was certain,
we met the real Mrs. Eddy, the Mrs.
Eddy we have known for years, almost
face to face We knew her and we
were known by her.
I'VE are moved to believe that testi
mony of this sort, which arises spon-
taneously on every hand in Concord, is
more enduring and worthy than that
of any newspaper investigators whose
work shows only too clearly that they
trust to their own or to somebody else's
imagination for their facts. Concord
people may buy the New York World,
but they do not believe what it says.
When anyone tells Concord that Mrs.
Eddy is not one of our busiest, most
helpful citizens, in full possession of her
illuStrious faculties of mind and in
bodily strength beyond what her years
warrant, Concord has a prompt and
impregnable answer:
I'VE all know better!"

ONCE GREAT PHYSICIAN is
REDUCED TO DIRE POVERTY

I'm simply. an old fogy; not clever
enough to cure my own ills. If I can
not cure myself why should / pretend
to be doctor? have never failed be-
fore, but now must admit my defeat,
and let others try their science on me-
or make my debut in the other world"
he soliloquized with q grim smile that
was not altogether bitter.
Illness Worries Him
His failure to conquer his own in
firmities has been the cause of much
worry to him, not so much because he
fears death, which he tells the hospital
attaches is inevitable shortly, but be-
cause his failure to cure himself forces
him to acknowledge his own limitation.
1t is said that he has never been known
to lose a single case that offered the
least opportunity to medicine or sur
gerry. 1t is because of this record of
over forty years of marked success that
he mourns his helplessness now under
the leash of the disease that Is slowly
but surely wasting his life away.
For the last twenty years Dr. Keat-
ing has practiced successfully in San
Francisco and until driven from there
by the memorable temblor of last spring
was reasonably well-to-do. He was
never more prosperous, however, than
to have all that he needed, for his
heart was too generous to permit him to
hoard wealth while others wanted.
1t was because of his too great gen.
erosity to those in need that he was
left in poverty and dependent upon
charity in his last years, for had he
saved one-half his fees he would doubt
less be moderately wealthy now.
Generous to a Fault
| A tale of woe from some debtor would
nearly always elicit sympathy from tn,
doctor, and his services would go unpait
for. This, in addition to his constan
attendance upon the poor, for whom
he would accept no fees, prevented hin
from ever accommodating the riches tha
would have heen his had he consulted
his own best interests.
1t is more than probable that the las
resting place of this eminent physician
and surgeon whose life has been spent
in alleviating the pains and poverty OF
others will be in the paupers' grave
yard, while the world gives heed only
| to smile cynically at what it calls the
uselessness of "man's humanity to
man."

JAMES MANAGER
FINDS DAUGHTER
FAMILY WAS SEPARATED IN
SAN FRANCISCO
Girl Driven from Home by Dynamiters
Finds Her Sweetheart, Whom
She Marries Week After
the Disaster

The visit of Wallace Munro, manager
for Louis James, to Los Angeles last
week was productive of a number of
good press agent stories, but here is one
from real life in which he figures, but
which he doesn't tell. Yet it is abso-
lutely true.
Munro, before the San Francisco fire.
had daughter, Grace Munro, living
there with her brother. When the
earthquake and fire wiped that city well
nigh off the map and scattered its in
habitants to the four winds, Munro,
who was in the east, sought to find his
children and learn something of how
they Jared. But his search was in vain;
his letters were returned unopened, and
his kilograms never reached their des-
tination. He completely lost every
trace of his children and did not know
whether they were alive or dead. Even
when he was in San Francisco recently
he was unable to ascertain single fact
regarding their fate.
Talks to Daughter
But, one day last week-Thursday to
be specific-he received a telephone
message from Long Beach. He recog-
nized the voice at once: 1t was his
daughter who spoke AS may be
guessed, he was wild with delight He
arranged with her to run down to
Long Beach Friday and have a reunion.
The next day he made the trip, and his
daughter greeted him. safe and sound
After the first excitement of the meet
ing was over she turned with blush
to man standing near.
Daddy" she said, II want you TO
meet my husband"
Then there was another reunion.
1t seems that during the quake and
fire Miss Munro that Was-she Is Mrs
j. r. Maxim now-was chased out of
her abode by the dynamiters. She had
no time even to pack a satchel; she had
to move on the run. But she did wear
a brand new tailored gown that her
father had given her.
Finds Her 6etrothed
This she thought she would save at
least She fled to the park with the
fire at her heels, and for three days she
slept on the bosom of Mother Earth.
with the sky for blanket, and ate in the
bread line. Then she and Mallxin found
each other-they were already engaged
--and April 20 they were married. They
drove overland to Los Angeles and
Went to Long Beach, their present
home, where he owns the Tallyho
stables and is fairly prosperous.
From Mrs. Maxim, Mr.. Munro learned
OF the safety of his son and his where
abouts. He also found that the son
had had hard luck In the quake but
came through In good condition.
Brother and sister were separated by
the disaster but found each other soon
after But neither could get In touch
with the father, as he has been Jump
