IN0-ROOM INCIDENT DOCTORS DISAGREE-
THE BROKEN SOLDIER AND HIS WIFE
NIAGARA-CLOUDs AND RAIN-RETURN-
THE RUNAWAY COUPLE-OUR GENESIS IN
HOUSEKEEPING.
In setting ont on our wedding trip l de-
tsrmined that the event should be attended
by no vain display. called hack, and we
were driven to the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road depot, just as might have been the
case with any ordinary travellers. My wife-
how strange that word seems to me as
write it now-my wife was young creature
still in her teens. She seemed to me the
very incarnation Of all that is pure and in.
h0cent; but had detected in her Q some
what Maynard fancy and desire for vain
show which, thought, ought to be gently
yet firmly curbed. In short, wished to
elevate her thoughts into higher and
grander plsne-to make her mind a. char.
acteristic of high womsnhood - her charms
and virtues already were. She was young
and beautiful, and. a. it appeared to me,
Ill that she needed was apprecistive guild
sace to make her a. distinguished for mental
and moral endowments as for personal At
fractions. determined therefore to be not
only her husband, but her guide, philos-
-opher and friend"-t0 teach her 80 far az
was capable of being an instructor, and, as
the fruitage came, enjoy the triumph.
It 90 happened that We arrived at the
depot at least twenty minutes before the
departure of the train, and after having
taken our seats in the waiting room, our
attention was attracted by . fine-looking
gentleman, about six feet high, whose we'll
shaped head, oval face and long beard rem.
dered him conspicuous in the not very dis.
tinguished crowd that happened to be pres
emit.
As this gentleman was walking slowly
and in an apparently thoughtful mood up
and down the room, the door opened and
short, stout man, with q face like full |
moon, entered.
Casting an eye upon the new conner, the |
tall gentleman approached him cordially |
and said: why, James, my dear fellow,
where do you spring FRONT haven't seen |
you for 10 these many years."
The person addressed was evidently in
clined to pomposity. He thought himself
no common mortal, and was determined to
demand of others the same respect that he
paid unto himself.
"Who are you, sir, and by what right do
you thus take tho liberty Of addressing me
BY my given name. am DR.. Reed, DR..
James Reed, if you will, and if you ever
speak to me again you will please remem.
Der these facts"
In saying this the rosy and rotund physi-
clan not only brought his professional dig
nifty into prominence, but showed how
self'esteem and love of appro-
baton were developed in his nature. He
held his nose - far from the ground as
possible.
Over the brow of the tall gentleman there
passed Q slight expression Of magnificent
but it soon gave way before .
mere genial and generous impulse.
"hight, DOCTOR said the tall gentleman:
Il hsd forgotten what stickler for eti-
luette you slwsys were. am George
Brown, or, If you are SO particular. DIR
George Brown, and I certainly did not ann.
pose that you would stand on ceremonies
With an old class and room mate in the
of Pennsylvania. You must re-.
member that the sristocratic M. D. is but.a I
heepskin distinction after ALL"
