DOC LIVER OLA jolly old German, while
suffering froma pulmonary attack, sent for
physician. In ashort time the doctor called
on him, prescribed two bottles of cod liver oil,
received his fee of IS, and was told by the
German, who disliked the size of his bill,
that he need not come again. The German,
who had not heard the doctors prescrip-
ton very well, supposed that he could get
the oil and treat himself. The doctor saw
no more of the patient for some time but
one day, riding past the residence of the
German, he was pleased to see him out in
the garden digging Justify. The case
seemed such proof of the virture of cod
liver oil, that he stopped to make more
particular inquiries about it.
Z" You seem to be getting very well,' said
he, addressing the German.
"Yaw, I ish well,' responded the for
merly sick man.
"You took as much oil as l told you p
queried the doctor.
"Oh, yaw, have used many as four gal
Ions of the dog liver OIL"
"The what ?" said the astonished doctor.
"The dog liver dat you say shall take,
have killed most every fat little dog
could catch, and de dog liver have cured
me. 1t is a great medicine, dat dog liver
oil ?"
The doctor had nothing to say, but rode

The PRESIDENTS DAILY LIFE.-So talks
Mr.. Hayes, concerning his daily life as
President: "There is so much variety in
the life of this building that l get wonder,
instruction and amusement from it. All
kinds of people, on every conceivable
errand, think that if they can only see the
President their troubles are ended. l don't
mind those who merely want to shake
hands. That is a pleasure and relief.
They often help me out of dilemma.
For example: may have some persistent,
obdurate office-seeker or office.manager.
He will press his point, perhaps, until he
has put his knees against mine and de-
mands a yes or mo- 1t may be that l
feel rising temper at his aggressiveness.
Then think of the people outside. They
are always let in on presentation Of a card
respects only see some ofthem at the
instant, desirous to shake hands. So turn
from the unpleasant caller, and while talk
minute to the people, have chance to
calm my mind and prepare to answer the
question" The President is reported to
retain one of his home customs at the White
House; every Saturday evening few friends
appear and they all sing together divers
old Methodist tunes.
