Thus would votes for Theodore Rex be multiplied. insults Educated Physician. This quack plank of the Progressive . platform not only insults the Intelligent voter, but wounds the educated physician, in that tt places the latter In the same category with empirics of high and low degree, rubbers, sun curists, magnetic and other healers and all 'other pretenders who fatten upon the credulity of the helpless sick and their terrified relatives. The Bun has adverted to the outrageous violation1 of propriety and Justice which charac-: terlres the medical laws of several a tat e s in the Union, the last Instance of which we deplore In the medical regulations of the canal zone and which the bull moose platform threatens to Inflict upon all the states of the Union. These legislative enactments require all persons who propose to become j physicians not only to pursue a more or j lesr. thorough course of preparatory I education, but also t-> be trained In all' nr nnH fn ! be subject to a rigid examination by ' Appointees of the state. All these serve to protect the public against Ignorant pretenders and would te perfectly fair did not the very same enactments exempt the latter from the provisions applying to educated practitioners. jFavors for Cormorants.

There Is now no discrimination i against "schools of medlclna" There-; fore the special protection demanded ! * for them by the bull moose platform is S gratuitous and Intended only to entrap r votes. The "healers" belong to no i school. Now comes rneoaore Kex ana , dignifies them by a special provision \ and, expressing a most tender regard for their sensibilities, promises to j jhleld them against discrimination by educated physicians.

In after days, when he was altogether well and whole, they journeyed forth, these two, the man and his wife, from Rangoon northward. The railway carried them some distance; later they struck off with their train Into the primitive wilderness beyond the ultimate British outposts on the Chindwine, main tributary trf the lrrawad<fy. The land was peaceful, hospitable, ad very, very lovefy In Its wilderness. Tbeir happiness was ecstasy. By day they rode through Jungle, wood and rolling uplands, or less easi ly through the fastnesses of the hills, side by side, thought linked to thought, their hearts attuned. By night thelr camps were pitched in a new-found world of beauty, wonderful In its 6hadowy mystery. It was so ordered that they came. toward sundown of a oertaln day, to the foot of a hill crowned with a great pagoda of many multiplied roofs frlng- j ed with a myriad silver bells that j tinkled ceaselessly in the evening; airs. Here they dismounted and together | made the ascent of an age-old wooden | stairway, broad and easy, and thronged from the flrst^ rise to the last with' weary pilgrims, beggars, lepers, laugh j ing children, mendicant holy men. The sun was low upon the horizon when, having bribed their way along that gauntlet, O'Rourke and his bride (she could never be aught less to him) attained to the topmost platform and, having received cermisslon, with meet show of reverence entered the temple. It was very dark Inside and for a time they moved blindly in and out: but at length they came to a massive doorway looking toward the West, and here they paused, hand In hand, looking nn to the Dlacld face of a huge Buddha, who squatting cross-legged upon a pedestal, looked through the Incense-scented gloom ceaselessly forward to Nirvana. The figure, carven originally from stone, had been 60 heavily plastered with gold-leaves by the devout, that now It had all the semblance of being gold to Its core; and, lavishly decorated with necklaces and bracelets of rare jewels set in crusted gold, In the evening glow It shone like some great i iamp of holiness. Only its face was j In shadow. Slowly the light struck higher beneath the eaves of the pagoda, and slowly It crept up and yet up, until Its last blood-red shaft revealed the Buddha's forehead and what was set - * * - therein, a monstrous ruoy. The woman gasped faintly and clung tightly to her husland's arm. j He held her close, watching the great | stone flame and throb and pulse, like a pool of living flame swimming in darkness. And then the light of the world ! went out. Pensively in the dusk they descend- ; ed the temple staircase. At the foot, before they remounted their horses, the woman came to the man and put her hands upon hL- shoulders. "Terence," she said, "I think I am very weary. Take me home." He gathered her into his arms. "I think." she said, "it frightened m&? mad."> ine fearful of this country ?the Pcol of Flame, up there." "Ye'vc seen the- last of it." he said tenderly, "and so have I. 'Tis done with, like the (1?/? <-.r me auventurLcgs. I have no -bought but you, dear heart. L;t ur go o:v>e." THE END.
