MIR. Harmon was kind hearted man,
but In moderate circumstances, and his
wife's sickness was a serious drawback
to him in many ways. Other assistance
would be necessary beside the young
girl they kept as help. There was
family of young children with their
numberless requirements, and a doctors
bill of no inconsiderable amount was
Inevitable, and it was both painful and
ludicrous to hear Mr.. Harmon deplore
the unfortunate persistence with which
his wife would push things in one
breath, and with the next, loyalty de-
clare his willingness to do all in his
power for ''poor wife" now she was sick.

Doing Him a Favor.

The occupant of an office on Larned
street desired to drop 5000 circulars to
as many residents of Detroit regarding
a new household patent, and he had Just
completed the weary work of directing
the envelopes, the other day, when in
came a telegram calling him out of the
city for day or two. He ran into a
law office and left his key, and ex-
planned that he was sorry he didn't have
time to mail his.circulars before going.
When he had departed the lawyer said
to his Office boy:
..My son, what is life worth without
the good opinion of our fellow-menP"
Nothing, sir"
"Of course not. This afternoon you
go over and stamp all his circulars and
get them into the post-office. 1t will be
a favor and surprise to him"
At three o'clock in the afternoon the
boy said he had used up all the stamps,
and he was directed to mail the circu-
lars and wait for his reward. 1t came
in manner to astonish him. When
the circular man returned he rushed in
to the law office white with rage, drove
the boy into corner, and shrieked out
at the top of his voice:
You Internal idiot! You licked three
cents on each circular!"--Detroa Free

Was Byron Killed by the Doctorsi

The last illness and death of Byron
are not less curious to the medical mind
than the life of the man. In brief,
Byron went to Greece in his later days
Che was only thirty-six) ostensibly to
liberate Greece, actually to obtain the
crown of kingdom he hoped to see es-
tablished-a crown which he did, in
fact, as it would seem from these vol
umes, nearly secure. His death frus-
trated the design, and his death, pre-
ceded' by epileptic seizures and by
exposure to malaria, was clinched. it is
generally felt, by medical perseverance
in crystallized error. Two youthful
and incompetent" doctors, to quote
Jeaffreson's definition of them, Bruno
and Millingen, 1'did their best and their
worst for him. He had been living,
by his own rule, for five weeks on toast
and tea, and at last, in response to the
urgent appeal and insistence of the two
doctors, he consented TO be bled (date.
April 16, 1924. Casting at the two
the fiercest glance of vexation, and
throwing out his arm. he said in his an
griest tone: ''Therel You are, see, a
set of butchersl Take away as much
blood as you like, and have done with
it" They took tICenty ounces. The
next day they repeated the bleeding
twice, and put blisters above the knee,
because he objected to have his feet ex-
posed for the blistering process. In spite
of all he lived on, and on the 18th actu-
ally rose from his bed and tottered into
an adjoining room, leaning on his SER
want Tita's arm. There he amused him
self with book for few minutes, and
then returned to bed. In the afternoon
two new and strange doctors came to
look at him, and after they had left he
took one anodyne draught,, Some time
later he took another draught of a SINH
lar kind. and at six o'clock he uttered
! the last Ineligible sentence, Now I
shall go to sleep" He slept for twenty
four hours, aud at fifteen minutes past
six on the evening of April 10 surprised
his watchers by opening his eyes and
instantly shutting them. "He died at
that instant -.-..- ..
| In this day we look with wonder at
the medical art which in twenty-four
hours could bleed three times a fasting
man, then blister him, and finally sup
plement the so-called treatment with
two strong narcotic draughts.

A Wag Wants Postage Stamps.

Sometimes clerks in the departments
"a Washington correspondent says) do
not read letters exactly as they are
written. This occurred not long since
in the office of the Third Assistant POST
rnaster-General An assistant post
mastmaster at q very considerable
Office sent in requisition for stamps,
postal cards, ETC., and signed it in his
official capacity as assistant postmaster.
He was answered by an overworked
clerk that supplies could not be fur
nished him as acting postmaster unless
the postmaster was actually dead, etc.
To this he replied:
Your communication received, in
which you state that supplies cannot be
furnished upon my signature unless the
postmaster is dead and / am acting on
authority of the sureties of the de
ceased postmaster. This starts up q
circus. What are we to do? This is a
two-horse office, and we are out of
stamps and in the fix the boy was after
the ground hog-we must have EN-
have purchased stamps of neighboring
offices with my personal funds, but
they vanished like fresh butter before a
pack of hungry hounds. Our post
master is not dead, but alive and kick
ing in Jail charged with prevaricating
on the stand in favor of a young dude
who was sued for breach of promise to
marry one of our flirts. The citizens
sympathized with him and willeth not
his demise unless the department de-
mands it, and then, like obedient serv-
ants, we can get him on shutter. We
anxiously await your reply whether we
shall kill him here or send him securely
sacked to Washington to be slaughtered.
The stamps we ought to and must have.
Please wire your choice or answer by
letter at your convenience.
