entering the front door, as was his habit'

of advancing without announcing HIM

HARD On THE STUDENTS James Jo-
seph Han sends the following amusing
joke, IN which, It's quite probable, from
his very funny propeusities, he played
the part of corpse
A party of students, not exceedingly
well acquainted with the medical pro-
fession. determined to procure a corpse
for the purpose Of testing their anatolni-
cal powers. The formed together with
this intention, but Che of them being
much inclined to joke, and fearing de-
lection from his pranks, they contrived
that he should know nothing of the
voyage. However, he became aware Of
all, and silently resolved to doctor them
in his own way. The dead body they
managed very easily TO obtain, and each
took turn at carrying it. After travels
ing considerable distance the subject
was deposited in an old barn while the
students departed in search of water to
satisfy their thirst.
Our joker now appeared on the spot,
having without their knowledge accom-
pauied them through the whole journey,
and was greatly pleased with this beau
tiful opportunity to revenge herself.
Quickly he drew the bo ly from the sack,
(of course hiding iD, and substituting
himself in its place. quietly awaiting
the ceming Of his brother students.
They soon arrived, and one cf them
should sred the body and resumed his
journey with the rest. He proceeded
but a little way. when he observed:
"Boys, this fellow is getting dueced
heavy, and I'm tired"
The supposed corpse assumed as
ghostly a voice as possible. and squeez-
ing the poor victim with all his might,
replied:
''You ungodly grave digger, let ne
down and I'll walk myself"
Tho scene was picturesque. That
sack was shaken off quicker than q dog
could shake a rat, and the way those
medicine boys got to town so fast was g
caution to Snakes.
