this philanthrophy. It has proven an uplift to the dental profession and will advance its power for efficient service. The Rochester Dental Dispensary will serve the same purpose, and will prove one of the most far-reaching philanthropies ever advanced in this city. The number of diseases which may be traced to the teeth is increasing. The whole life of a person may be wrecked by neglect of the teeth in early youth. We are coming to understand this truth more perfectly, and Rochester is taking its place as a pioneer in the advanced work of prevention which comes from a better understanding of the teeth and mouth. THE MAYOS' GIFT. In these days of great gifts to education from funds that were amassed in ways not too innocent, it is refreshing to learn that the Mayo brothers have given $2,000,000 to the University of Minnesota, together with what is probably the finest equipment for medical research in the world. The very size of the gift shows how wealth as well as fame has come to two country physicians, sons of a country doctor. In their case it was not necessary to move to some centre of influence and publicity, a great city. The world found its way to their door because they had something of knowledge and technic that the world needed. The pilgrimage of 3000 physicians a year to Rochester, Minnesota, is itself a splendid tribute to the genius of the two brothers. Now their influence will be perpetual through their endowment for medical training and research.-Norman Hapgood. THE MAN WHO DELIVERS THE GOODS. By Walt Mason. There's a man in the world who is never turned down, wherever he chances to stray; he gets the glad hand in the populous town, or out where the farmers make hay; he's greeted with pleasure on deserts of sand, and deep in the aisles of the woods; wherever he goes there's the welcoming hand—he's THE MAN WHO DELIVERS THE GOODS. The failures of life sit around and complain; the gods haven't treated them white; they've lost their umbrellas whenever there's rain; and they haven't their lanterns at night; men tire of the failures who fill with their sighs the air of their own neighborhoods; there's the man who is greeted with lovelighted eyes-he's-THE MAN WHO DELIVERS THE GOODS. One fellow is lazy, and watches the clock, and waits for the whistle to blow; one has a hammer, with which he will knock, and one tells the story of woe; and one, if requested to travel a mile, will measure the perches and rods; but one does his stunt with a whistle or smile-he's THE MAN WHO DELIVERS THE GOODS. One man is afraid he'll labor too hard-the world isn't yearning for such; and one man is ever alert, on his guard, lest he put in a minute too much; and one has a grouch or a temper that's bad, and one is a creature of moods, so its hey for the joyous and rollicking lad— for THE ONE WHO DELIVERS THE GOODS!
