Romance in Connection with Marriage
of New York Artist.

Following an unusual romance
comes the announcement. after more
than year, of the marriage of Allen

Miss Anita Mercer, former Worces-

Worcester (Mass.) dispatch in the

in Templeton, after following him for
months over greater portion of the
United States. The couple were mar

On January 10, 1907, Miss Mercer

themselves in Marididi. They were

EOR II years DR.. Grenfell has been

services. He has had two hospital
ships lost in the treacherous ice and

now he has third. But very often
when he gets call miles away the
ship is powerless to reach the patient
and he goes over the ice with his pack
of dogs.
Already he has established three
land hospitals in Labrador, % loan
libraries, an Industrial school and half
a dozen cooperative stores. He has
seen to it that wireless telegraphy is
installed on land as well as on the
fishing boats. This gives him many
chances to answer calls which cost
nothing.

SsTHE Indians and Esquimaux of the
i frozen north are gradually diving
off because of the disappearance of
the great forests. This drives away
the caribou, which means starvation
for the Indians. With the Esquimaux
it is disease, brought by contact with
the white men. We white people are
immune against many diseases, but
when they strike the Esquimaux the
germs light on virgin SOIL For ex-
ample, a white sailor brought sim

is a saving influence for them; they
would have been extinct long ago from
the vices which follow trade. AS it
is, their number decreases with every

coast. 1t is already as far north as

had to face them alone in a tempera-

survived is nine days wonder even
up in frozen Labrador, where men bat
tie 365 days year to wrest a living
from fCrbidding nature.
And when he had conquered the
dogs he still had the elements as his
deadlier foe.
DR.. Grenfell leads a strange life.
He has devoted himself and his life
to the Esquimaux and the natives of
Labrador-deep sea fishers all. He is
their doctor, missionary, friend. A
graduate of Oxford, he has chosen that
most barren spot in North America
as one where he may do some good in
the world.
His headquarters he makes at Bat
tie Harbor, Labrador. From there, as
a base of supplies, he makes trips of
hundreds of m1les into the frozen
north. carrying his surgical instru-
ments and his medicines along with
his Bible and his great good cheer, to
say nothing of his books and his foot
balls. Until DR.. Grenfell went to
Labrador men and women lived and
died without as much as ever seeing
a doctor, much less having his serv-
ices. He has had many adventures,
but this is the story of his latest:

American Indians, unable to cope
with the aggressors and incapable OF
civilizing themselves according to
the western canons, found themselves
driven to reservations and extinction.
In several of the oriental countries
the Anglo-Saxon has attempted the
same thing, but without the same sue
cess. In India, for instance, 10000
600 people have been ground to such
dire and painful poverty that they
cannot manage to secure single sat-
isfying meal a day. In China the at
tempt has been made to parcel the
country and divide it amongst the Eu-
ropean powers. The near-east has
similarly been the subject of such
Vaccinations. Persia and Afghanistan
and the adjoining territory havo been
threatened with similar fate. But
for many reasons the oriental coun.
tries have been saved from the doom
of the red Indian. Their present-day
awakening to a realization of their
situation and possibilities promises
that they will not only avert an igno-
minious fate, but that in the near fu.
ture better and more equitable adj
justment of the relations between the
orient and the occident will take
place.
