An Outraged Doctor.

An elderly lady. who was very
wealthy, and who had a very inflated
idea of her own Importance, owned a
pet monkey, which suddenly became
quite ill. The lady, whom we shall
call Mrs. Portly Po1npous, had the as
surance to send for one OF the most
prominent physicians to attend the all
ing siInia-
When the doctor was introduced to
his patient he was very much enraged,
but he did not betray it. He examined
the sick monkeys pulse, and asked the
usual questions. In the corner OF the
room was a little boy, a grandson OF
Mrs. Portly Pompous. The doctor ap'
preached the boy. examined his pulse
and then said solelnnly to the LADY,
Madam, your two little grandchil
dren are suffering from indigestion.
Give them light food, with plenty Of
exercise, and they will soon come
around all right"
After the doctor had said this be
bowed himself out, with feeling that
he had in measure vindicated his pro

sent in was so heavy that Mrs. Portly

1t is reported that the people of
