lEfhi not 1 ,1.1. HE great mass of the people in the world are very much alike. They are wholesome, patient, reasonably industrious, modestly successful men and women, whc play their part in the world ' s work witli fidelity and die leav- ing no place which cannot easily be filled. There are always a few men who stand out from their fellows generally, in the fact that they are non-c(jnformers. To do what the average man does is without charm to men of this type. When they are malevolent they make our great criminals ; when their minds are well disposed toward their fellows they break the way into new paths in which their fellowmen sub- sequently safely follow. Of this last type is the subject of the present sketch. Dr. C. E. Ehinger was born near Keokuk, Iowa, on March ii, 1858. His father was a native German, a successful physician and an accomplished botanist. Slight of build and energetic of mind and body, this almost eagle-eyed man saw everything about him ; from him we easily trace many of the qualities and tastes of his son, Clyde.

During his younger days the tastes of the boy were formed by a double cir- cumstance. For some time he drove his father ' s carriage, visiting with him his pa- tients and seeing with him the plant world. Thus was fastened in our friend, the Doctor, his desire to be himself a physician, and a fondness for studying the outdoor world, which has remained the passion of his life. Near by ran the steady course of the great heather of Waters. Here our friend learned to swim and boat, being a member of a boat crew, which for some time held the amateur six-oared barge re- cord of the country. During the last year young Ehinger was stroke oar of this crew. After preparation at the Iowa State L ' niversity, he entered the Chicago Homeopathic Medical College, from which he was graduated at the age of twenty- two. Here our friend began to acquire his now jiro found knowledge of the human frame and of the mischances which may befall it as well as tlie conditions which de- termine its healthful progress. After finishing his medical course he served for one-half year as Intern in the Cook County Hospital. At the end of this time he was appointed attending physician in the Hospital, while practicing medicine in Chicago. Before his time came to serve in the Hospital an o])ening in Ouincy, 111., attracted his attention and he removed to that city, winning at once a promising practice, which grew steadily for five years. During all this time, however, the Doctor ' s
