How Tom Reused his Wife.

The wife of Tom Gordon isa victim to mag
mary ailments and is never so content as when
living according to the directions of her medi-
cal advisor. DR.. Valentine now understands
her whims and oddities so well that be humors
her in every caprice; if she imagines rheuma-
tisn is her complaint, he agrees with her, and
prescribes some harmless potion; if she thinks
her appetite decreasing, some bread pills keep
her in good spirits until the fancied symptoms
of some other disease induce her to send for him.
During the last four years Tom has often
wished his wife would fall down stairs and
break her foolish head, for the reason that the
physicians and apothecarys make a serious in
road upon his fortune.
About three months ago she complained of
pain in her side, and as usual, the doctor was
summoned. After prescribing two or three
bottles of different compounds-all harmless,
but rather expensive, he said:
All YOU want to assist the medicine in af-
fecting cure is a little rousing. Although
vour ailment is serious it is not dangerous
Assume little energy and you will recover
Remember, rouse yourself.
After the doctor retired the patient fancied
that at last some serious disease was beginning
to manifest itself, and, ike fool she went to
bed in despair.
Tom understood the case thoroughly, from
long experience, and said mentally:
"She wants a rousing does she? Well I'll
give her a surprise that will startle her"
Mrs Hake, an attractive widow, was engaged
to act in the capacity of nurse to Mrs. G. The
widow is young, buxOm and amiable, and Tom
thought her attractive qualities might be avail
able in giving the patient the necessary rous-
ing. -,
A short consultation with Mrs. Hake resulted
in the arrangement of plan, the execution OF
which was to induce Mrs G., TO ever afterwards
throw physic to the dogs.
Late the next evening while the patient lay
fretting and grOaning and announcing her in
tention of giving up the ghost, Tom called
Mrs. Hake aside and said to her in whisper,
but loud enough to be heard by the invalid:
"Poor Fanny she is about to die at last,
and so you and may as well arrange for our
marriage
