DR.. C. A. Paul Of Scion Attend
Institute of Homeopathy.

My dear Mr.. Editor:
Perhaps it Is
worthy of mention when citizen of
your county travels $500 miles to re-
present his State in scientific body,
as did DIR. G. A. Paul of Scion, who
went from his home to Kansas City, a
distance of eighteen hundred miles,
to attend the annual convention of
the American Institute of Homoeo-
pathy, the oldest and one of the lar
gest national medical bodies in Am
erica. The making of this journey to
and from home occupied in all six
days and five nights upon Pullman
train.
The meeting Of the Institute this
year is OF special interest to the pro-
fession and to many of the laity all
over the country, as the scientific
work presented in its meetings was of
the very highest order, showing an
appreciable advance in medical edu-
cation and original research. The
Council of Medical Education was
made the particular feature of the
convention This Council has devot
ed much time and m oney the past
year to the expanding and develop
ing of medical research, and to the
strengthening and building up of col
leges and hospitals all over the coun-
try. $4,000 were raised at the CON
vention for the work OF this Council
the coming year.
DR.. Paul went to the Institute as
Homeopathic Medical Society. AT
Boston he was Joined by his brother,
DIR. Willard A. Paul, who went as del
egate from the Massachusetts Home
opathio Medical Society. They met a
large number of physicians in Chica-
go bound for the convention city.
On arriving at Kansas City and regis
teriug at the New Coates Hotel, the
name Immediately above their own
attracted their attention, it being that
of DR.. Frank d. Paul of Rock Island,
Illinois, their only brother whom they
had not seen for eleven wears. They
Immediately began hunting for him,
and spent an hour searching among
the physicians. A dozen times they
passed him, as he had been quietly
following them, much amused to find
himself unrecognized.
They spent week in Kansas City,
all three brothers returning to Rock
Island for Saturday and Sunday, the
two from New England leaving late
Sunday night for Boston and Maine,
DR.. z. A. Paul arriving in Scion,
Wednesday evening.

SAYS PRESIDENT HARRISON DID
NOT LIKE ROOSEVELT.

President Harrson's dislike for
Roosevelt is referred to in William AL
len Whites character sketch of Taft
in the May American Magazine. Fol
lowing is the story:
"Whenever Commissioner Roosevelt
of the civil service came into Presi
dent Harrisons room on official bus;-
ness, the precise, punctilious little
president would begin drumming on
the table nervously and snow in
number of ways his impatient irritation
at the length of the interview, however
short it might be. Yet so greatly did
he admire Solicitor Taft, who believed
in the same things that Roosevelt be-
lieved in. and was working toward eX-
actly the same end, that President
Harrison promoted Solicitor Taft to a
juigeship in the United States circuit
court-an honor rarely conferred upon
so young a man and a distinction
which marked him as man among ten
thousand at the American bar. Pres1-
dent Harrison would not have promoted
Roosevelt to anything, except perhaps,
minister to the moon. For conduct is
the product of emotions. and emotions

most human lomiciles reason is a sec
ond child with her nose out of joint;
consequently in the heart of Benjamin
Harrison Taft the mammoth, slow
moving, indOmitable human engine that
consumed work like a fire-Taft was a
man of parts and consequence, and as
fer Roosevelf-ne fidgeted. and Harr-
son would have none of him. however
he might respect Roosevelt.
