His First Patient. 'THE DOCTOR was REALLY TIIANKEUL ro ESCAPE ALIVE. ’l'he ortl h 'sician wasin a reminis- o~nt inland, gallium Detroit Free Press, and this is the story he told after the cigars had been passed around and ‘uhted : 11”“ Alter I was turned out of the med- ioal college a full fledged physicrau, I looked around for a likely looking town to locate in. After a search of over a month I found a small town where I thought they needed another doctor, so I determined to locate there. ' “ As I was entering the shop of the local » Sign painter to have a shingle painted, an old man drove up before the, place and excitedly asked the Sign painter if he knew where Doc Smith was. . . “ ‘ Doc’s gene fishing," said the painter. ' 4 What’s the matter? ’ . “ ‘ Betsy’s sick,’ fumed the old man. ‘I wish that feller would stay home and attend to business '1 ’ ‘ . “,Here was my _opportunity I thought; so I stepped forward and said : ‘_= ‘ Perhaps I can help you out. I am a doctor.’ ‘- The old man looked me over rather doubtfully and then shouted for me to jump in. I did so, and he put the gad to his horse, and we dashed away at a . rate that threatened to wreck us before ‘ we had gone a mile. “ What is the matter ?’ I shouted, to make myself heard over the noise that . the old rattletrap of a wagon made. '. “ ‘ What do you suppose I’m taking you out there for if it isn’t to find out. ? be snapped. ' “Well, I held my peace after that :and awaited developments. We had a drive of 12 miles before we reached his home, and when we reached there he drove straight for the barn, “ ‘ Now, git to work.’ he shouted, in- dicating, with 3 Wave of his hand, a mare that was lying on the barn floor. “ Then it burst upon me that. he wanted a horse doctor, and with the ‘ best command of dignity that I could muster I told him that my practice was solely confined to human beings. The way that old man went for me was awful, and »while the fireworks were playmg about my head the mare died. and there was nothing for me to do but to walk home, as the old man said he would see me elsewhere before he would drive me back, and that I ought to be thank- ful if I didn't get a suit for damages on. -my hands.” 9+0 A Wooden Leg. .IS ALL VERY WELL IN ITS PLACE, BUT NOT OTHERTVISE. There isa Philadelphia man, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, who feels that his wife is somewhatdeficient in delica- .cy. Her first husband had a wooden leg .â€"a wooden leg of which the neighbors ' speak well. 'It was a neat and compact leg, and after his deceasc the sorrowing relict kept the saddening relic in the parlor. Some people might consider a ‘wooden log a rather peculiar ornament, but of course there is a wide divergence of taste in these respects. Some people like chromos, others prefer waxworks and worsted dogs. The widow was proud ~ of the wooden leg. ‘ When she married» again, however, she put the leg carefully away in a :znothproof bag, perhaps, and for a time it remained there. But when the honey- moon was well into the last quarter the 'bride brought it forth again and put it back in its old parlor corner, close to the rubber plant. The new husband. didn’t approve of this, but thclcg staid. He has ventured to call the attention of the lady to the incongruity of the situa- tion in forcible and vehement terms. The leg still stays. Now he is anxious for some body with a little ready cash and due leg to stump along and make the lady an odor for the wooden limb; otherwise he can’t see any hope of reâ€" .licf‘ from the well-turned incubus. It’s a painful situation, and in any other city than Philadelphia the victim would do Something besides sit still and 'scoul at his predecessor’s trotter. He’d hire a burglar to steal it, or set the house on fire, or slmve it up the chimney, or something. Anyway, no man that is a man would let a wooden leg walk over him in that easy gaited way. Not much he wouldn’t. ~ 0.. Knew He Had No Brains. There is a lineman in the service of the Michigan Telephone company who doesn't like to wear a hat on hot days. A kind-hearted old lady saw him dig- ging a post hole. and got him one other husband’s old hats. Not Wishing to offend her. the man put it. on, and, when the job was completed, he Went to the door and returned the hat with thanks. “ But you must keep it.” she urged. “ You will injure your brains if you ‘ don't. wear something on your head this hot weather.” “ No, I won’t," said the en‘entric follow. "I have n’t got any brains. If I had, I would.n’t be dig- ging post holes.” ' , .:"X‘S,'m.x-..n - . it '. fingers-Rf, .rr is A commandos: How Mrs. J.
