Here was John Draper, president ot the Pacific and Atlantic railway, a self made man, a multimillionaire, old enough to have eschewed the follies of life and yet young enough to enjoy the beneets the gods send to sane mortals, blessed with health, strength, a good conscience and a better digestion, at the moment of which I write literally monarch of all he surveyed and about to take it trip of three or four thousand miles In his personal and private car, surrounded bye charming and eon - genial company of his own choosing.. who Would bask la the anishine of bis bounty and give hint grateful thanks, homage and credit for all the pleasure bestowed!

I went to the Ottawa' General Hospital to be operated on,' and was under the influence of chloro- form for one hour. For about two months I was better, but my old trouble returned, and again I lost much blood. One of my doctors told me I would have to undergo another operation, bub Z would not consent.
