In Philadelphia there lives doctor
so lean and attenuated that the sob1Iquet
Of "Old Bones" is far from being a mis-
homer. This doctor has a student, and
that student is trying his best to become
doctor. He attends to the Office while
the doctor attends to the outdoor
patients. Among the other fixtures of the
office is a weird skeleton, SO hung and
adjusted that it will walk out of the cup
board where it is kept, and, by manip-
ulating, rightly, it can be made to 60
through several grotesque antics. One
day, while the student sat porting over
some medical work, the street door
opened, and a youthful peddler with a
basket of knick-knacks presented himself.
When told that nothing in his line was
wanted the little rascal began to talk
back" in most impudent manner, and
was finally ordered to leave the Office.
This he refused to do, and thinking to
scare him, the student pulled string and
open flew the door where the skeleton
was hidden, and that emblem of death
sprang out at the boy, who, frightened
half out of his wits, dropped his basket
and scampered out of the Office, taking
up a position on the other side of the
street to await further events. Just then
the doctor, "Old Bones" came from his
study, and learning the cause of the up
roar, he went to the door and motioned
the boy to come and get his wares. ''No
you DON'T" he called out, II know you if
you have got your clothes on"
The f1owery reporter OF an Eastern
paper says: I'm the pale translucent
moonlight which now lightly bathes the
earth, the distant roar of the falls, the
weird note of the peacock, and the hoarse
snort of the bull calf make life up town
perpetual romance"
A door belle-A pretty housemaid.
