Two medical students whose tremen-
dous intelects could not be wholly con-
fined to the science OF medicine, con-
cluded to have some fun. They wrote a

They signed the name OF friend 10 the
letter and mailed it, After proper con-
sultation the old gentleL.an wrote and
mailed favorable answer to the young
man whose name had been used. He
was surprised of course, but said moth
ing, and in few days the intellectual
medical students were around town tell
ing the story and laughing at the joke.
Other people did not laugh but pitied
these youths. When such luminous
intellects engage in tine practice Of med
icine what wonder that human life is
gradually heightened. Independent.
The parties alluded TO above also
amuse themselves by sending out invi-

ing other peoples names. When some
one kindly kicks the fresh young per-
sons, they will consider the wisdom OF
thorough reformation in their manner
OF seeking amusements.
