Through the literature OF the an

alchemist's patient search for the
touchstone which would transform all
base metals into pure gold, and the
never-ending quest for the elixir which
would restore youth to the aged and
would cure all human ills. The alchc-
mist, driven from cellar to garret and
often put to death, had an elemental
knowledge OF chemistry and vaguely
dreamed that il could be made to per-
form wonders.
It was Ben /. Jonson's alchemist.

century who planned TO change al

in the morning to send to all the

BY means Of this magic elixir, in eight
and twenty days he planned to trans
form an old man Of four score into .

Certainly, chemistry has not sue
ceeded in performing these marvels.

FORMER DOCTOR
HAS MANY WIVES

The Denver Post Of yesterday car
rted quite sensational story recit-
ing q years activities Of one Leigh
ton Bonner, who some few years ago
stopped in Raymer, with the appar-
ant intention Of engaging in the
practice OF medicine and also acquir-
Ing the drug store.
He did not remain In Raymer any
great length Of time. and revealed
no particularly bad traits. The
worst about him seemed to be that
he seldom found a patient that he
did not advise an immediate opera
tion as essential to save the life Of
the patient; but that is such Q usu-
al method employed by medical doc
tors for robbing people that custom
has seemed to sanction It NJ a legiti-
mate fern Of robbery. 1t probably
became apparent to the doctor early
that there were not many people in
Raymer who were willing to part
with their appendix and bank roll
at one and the same time, 20 hs
packed up his instruments and left
for greener pastures.
Apparently the doctor was In too
much Of hurry to await the slow
methods cf medicine and surgery for
filling his purse and resorted TO lsss

methods.
II would seem a. II this hasts had
proved his undoing. Had he con-
tinued in his first efforts, hs would
doubtless have found the victims,
satisfied any normal appetite Tor All
manner Of crimes including musdes,
and reaped a rich rewadr Of coin
and reputation.
But the hot blood OF youth could
not bide this slow and safe profess.
