would come to him and say: my friend,
nave you a wife or motherl Have you any

them, and give them bread and butter
while you are ill" And then. when
he told the state of affairs,

that wife and those children until he could
come out and care for them himself. There

Ing around half-faded, sickly-smelling
flowers. It's better than buns and Bibles.
Ii Is what the Bible teaches, and the ex-
perlence OF most people in this world is, we
ma 1t easter to give away black and white
editions of the Bible than to show its teach
!pRs as man to man, and as brother to
brother: Charity may cover a multitude
OF sins, but there are more crimes, more
worrying little deviltTie; committed in the
name Of charity than in the name Of any
other virtue
A woman thinks she is charitable when
she asks man what he thinks about the
future. Now, when he has a raging fever
and every separate and individual bone in
his body is aching and his eyes feel like
balls OF fire the future doesn't trouble him
IN the least, it is the present that he is in
terested in; and a good sponging off with
cool alcohol. the strengthening up of the
bed, and the giving OF veritable drink of
cold water Is far greater charity than pict-
uring to that man what he would look like
ores Led up as an angel, playing on a harp.
In his present condition he has no use for
harpS. Jus; remember that don't want to
say one word to keep any good woman from
trying to do her best, but l wish a few OF
them-just q few-would be little bit
more practical, and remember how, when
they are i'll, their own husbands and SONS
want m hn frqatpd and preitt ~ har man
with having the same human feelings. A
sick man is always sad and sorry sight
especially If he isa't very sick. He has it
firmly planned out that he is going to die.
He thinks nobody ever had such pains as he
did, and from the very first takes an ag-
gressive position toward the doctor. regard
ing him as a personal enemy, rather than a
kind friend. Doctors are very much like
whisky-there's good whisky, and better
whisky, SO they say, but there's no bad
whisky. l take that back, though; there
may be few bad doctors, but their inten-
tions were honorable when they startad in,
and it is probable because they have attend
ed men that they have grown greedy and
cold-hearted, rather than because of their
profession.
DOCTORS, GOOD DOCTORS,
are thousand times more tender-hearted
than any other men, because they know just
what the pain is. and how it is hurting, not
only your body, but your mind. They snow
just when you are worrying over some
thing; yes, and just what medicine you
need, besides that which comes in bottles
from the chemist. They know you need
cheerful words; not too many. They know
you need something to distract your at
tention from yourself. and they come into
your sick room as if they brought rays of
sunshine with them, and leave you
feeling as many times better as you felt
worse before they came. A man who isn't
cheerful naturally, who isn't born with that
golden virtue, ought never to become u
doctor, should think the best vocation for
him to take would be TO sell ready~made
underwear to ladies, but a doctor-well! if
there's anything between a man and an
angel, that is, on this earth. it's a doctor
who can not only cure your pains but make
you absolutely thankful 70 pay his bill, and
make you willing to pawn your soul 10 get
the money to do it with.
MAN AND WoMAN's SOUL.
Bye>the-bye, if people were pawning
souls, wonder what they would get for
them? There are souls so mean and narrow
and contracted, that l don't believe even
the Maryland coin known as Zip and 6
bit, and which is really 6A cents, would
be given to them. Then there are soul:
that seem SO Overlooking with loving kind
ness, souls that seem to rise up and look out
Of the eyes as if they saw sweetness enC
purity. and light, and yet in these souls
that we call selfish, that means II will
have what l want, and be any
thing that l want to get, but find the
amiable business is the most successful
What would you give for a soul like that
think colored Chinese coin, with hole
in the center of it, would be the best. Their
there are good souls that are like all-woo
flannel -warrented TO wear aud not tx
shrink. Souls that have had much 3.
bother them and for these a silver piecC
might be given by generous pawabroker
And then there are souls that have gone
through the fire of life, been struck by the
sword Of temptation, and are sweeter thar
they we're before they were bruised, and
for these, even the pawnbroker would give
gold and diamonds, for their price is above
rubes.
HAVE YOU SEEN THEM, FRIEND I?
Apropos of bodies rather than souls, have
you seen the girl from the other side who
now pronounces Charles as if it were two
syllables!
Have you seen the girl who yachted from
New York to New London, ard speaks Of
it as if she had been spending her time al
summer in cruising, and IS attlred In
yacht costume day aud night-at least her
intimate friend says that her nightgown'
have sailor collars on theml
Have you seen the young gentleman who
hearing that the harsh American voice was
objected to in London, has gotten his down
so low that you cannot hear a word he says
and you are under the impression that the
ioiocy of his brain hes affected his tongue
Have you seen the man who played three
games of tennis this summer and who i:
Overwhelmingly anxious to convince you OF
the amount of muscle he has. and to tell
you how he goes i'll for athletics2
Have you seen the child who has been
impertiueat all summer, and who has come
back home standing in great need of sys-
tematic course of treatment from the pro,
fessional spanker!
Have you seen the actor who has the only
part worth playing this season, and who
thinks you ought to exert yourself apd gC
TO Kalamazoo or Deadwood to see his con
ception of that part!
Have you seen the new styles In fur coats
They are here. They are lovely. They vii
take you in from the top of your head to tn,
soles Of your feet, and you will feel like {
Russian beer--a little one, you know. Auc
you will find that you will appreciate hug
ging more than ever. Bah.
