than those that come to the
ordinary man. He had been
a pioneer in the best sense of
the world and lived much on seve
raj frontiers. In his time he
was trained in two of the
learned professions, both as a
doctor and as a lawyer. Yet
he was modesty itself in his
bearing toward his fellows. Few
men See so much and read so
much and say so little about it..
Indeed the excess of his mod
e,,ty approached rather digni-
fred reserve. 1t took some
time to get acquainted with
him. to break through the ont
ward reserve, and get at the
warm throbbing healt Of the
man; but the effort was AL
ways worth while. For his was a
large and generous nature. and
those who We're fortunate enough
to become his friends, always
came to value their good l,ack
as rare privilege, His friends
early found that he was not liv-
ing like most men without Civ
ing Thought to the why or
the wherefore of it all. He had
a philosophy of life. He thought
lie knew what Life meant: at
most he always cared great
dead what it meant. He thought
that life meant a good dead of
consideration for the other fehlOw
and he was rather careful of
the rights and opinions of and
the service due the other fel-
low. AS a result it is safe to
say that there is no one living
who feels that Doctor Wye
koff in anyway ever wronged
him. H. was a modest man. he
was IA good man; so he lived
to a serene old age. Above all
he was sincere Christian gen
tleman. Who shah say that he
