Wanted Him to Take More Exercise.

Scene: Office of pompous doctor who
knows it all. Enter a tired man, who drops
into seat, and says that he wants treatment.
The doctor puts on his eye glasses, looks at
his tongue, feels his pulse, sounds his chest,
and then draws up to his full height and
says: Same old story, my friend. Men can't
live without fresh air. No use trying it. i
could make myself corpse, like you are
doing by degrees, if l sat down in my Office
and didn't stir. You must have fresh air ;
you must take long walks, and brace up by
staying out doors. Now, ] could make a drug
store of you, and you would think l was a
smart man, but my advice to you is to walk,
walk, walk"
Paticnt--But, doctor
Doctor-Thut's right. Argue the question.
That's my reward. OF course you know all
about my business. No win you take my
advice? Take long wal s yry day, several
times day, and get YOU. blood in circu-
latiOn.
Patient-I do walk, Doctor. /
DOctor-Of course you walk. | know that ;
but walk more. Walk ten times as much as
you do now. That will cura you.
Patient-But my business
DOctOr-Of course your business prevents
it. Change your business, so that you will
have to walk more. What ig your business?

Not until you pay for it,
How TO sleep.
81. Louis Globe Democrat.

(which position is best to incur sleep when
in recumbent position ia Pullman, that is
the question:" said the atihble physician.
whether to lie with tho feet or head to.
ward the engine or the source of motion ?" he
further explained. "In majority of cars
the berths are made so that a person is COM
PEELED to lie with the feet in the direction of
the engine. The position is certainly the
safest in case of collision, or an extremely
rapid stoppage, as the body goes in the drec-
tion motion has been impaired to 1T, hence
there is less danger of injuring by contact the
skull and its contents, while the lower
extremtics have flexible points to neu-
tralize the shock of sudden stoppage. /
am of the opinion, however, that to lie
with the head toward the engine sleep
Is produced more rapidly and with greater
certainty, for when you lie with your feet
toward the engine there is naturally i'm
parted an influx of blood to the brain. The
natural condition of the brain in sleep is to
have a relatively smaller amount during
sleep than at any other time. Now in riding
with your head directed toward the engine,
there is naturally tendency on the part of
the blood TO gravitate from the brain. You
may ask some old railway men how they lie
when in Pullman, and majority of them
will tell you that they lie with their heads in
that direction, as they find they can sleep
better. Anyhow, let any one try the expert
ment to have the head in the direction of the
source of motion, and they will find sleep
comes sooner than in the opposite direction"

A Good story on Senator Vest.

Since there has been good deal of talking
lately about Senator Vest, of Missouri we
reprint good story on him from the San
Antonio ErcNiag Light:
Four years ago, when little redheadod
George Vest, the silver-tongucd wit of the
senate, was stumping the state, he arrived
late one evening at Hannibal, and, carrying
his own grip-sack, walked from the train to
the Continental hotel.
''Can l have room here ?" he asked
t"Wcll, yes" said the clerk, superciliously
surveying his interlocutor " suppose you
cam" But he was doubtful about the pro-
priey Of hi answer; for when he more
closely observed Vests soiled Clothes his
dust-s Stained features and his nervous manner
he mentally decided, well, here's Il beat, a
broken-down gambler, going to work the
town."
"Aren't you going to show me a room? ?"
asked Vest, staring hard at the unabashed
clerk.
Not until you pay for it,"
How much?" Vest returned. 80
"a dollar and a half" replied the clerk, in
tones which said as plain as words, Now
you're floored, old fellow, and you may as well
clear out" But Vest surprised him by fish
ing out ragged dollar bill and battered
fifty cent piece. The clerk himself preceded
him to Il room, and subsequently, his mind
not quite relieved Us to the character of his
guest, watched him undress. Vest wore fancy
striped undertaking. When the clerk saw
these ho entered abruptly and asked: i say,
mister, amt you gaLlbler?"
Mister " said he wasn't, and the clerk re-
tired. lie was surprised next morning when
he learned that the suggestions, broken down
gambler was George Vest. The clerk of that
time is now in the etnploy of the Interna-
tional railway company. He related the cir
cumstance yesterday for Che first time.
