throat, and thought that bristle of her
toothbrush had gone down and lodged in
her gullet. Her throat daily grew worse.
1t was badly inaamed, and she sent for the
family doctor. He examined it carefully,
and finally assured her that nothing was
the matter-itw was mere nervous delusion,
he said. Still her throat troubled her, and
she became so much alarmed that she was
sure she should die A friend suggested
that she should call in DR.. Jones, young
man just commencing practice. She did
not at first like the idea, but finally con-
scented, and DR.. Jones was called. He was

asked her several questions as to the sensa-

like q dandylion, a broad yeller, with no
bit of good smell about it,
1t is true that emmy kind ov a laff, if it
liz honest, is better than none but give
me the laff that looks out of mans eye,
fust, tew see if the coasts clear, then steals
down into the dmple of the cheek and
rides in an eddy there awhile, then waltzes
a spell at the corner Of his mouth like a
thing of life, then bursts its bonds of beauty
and fills the air for moment with shower
of ofsilvery-tongued sparks, then steals back
with smile tew its lair in the heart tew
watch agin for its prey-this is the kind ov
laff that i luv and amt afraid ov.
