THE OYSTERS WERE POISONED

The Way Chicago Doctor 0uieted the
Fears of a Nervous Woman.
A well-known lady who belongs to the up-
per stratum Of Chicago's society, called to
see the Health Officer upon delicate and
mysterious mission 4 while ago. She brought
with her half-dozen fried oysters and Law
ing the bivalves before DIR. Wickersham.
she said:
Doctor, they have been trying to poison
me again.

official.

insisted, 'and I've outwitted them this time.
you see. have brought the poisoned oys-
tiers right to you to be analyzed. There they
are. Now l want you to find out for me
Just what kind OF poison they have put in
them"
The doctor quietly argued with the excited
lady and tried to convince her that she was
the victim of an hallucnation. His labOrs
were in vain. 1t was apparent that the
woman was suffering from great mental ex-
element, producing temporary alteration.
Realizing the fruitlessness of argume t I'M
der these circumstances, the doctor chatted
pleasantly with his visitor until she became
quieIer, and then said:
80 the poison IS in these oysters, is it ?"
Yes, I'm certain it is.'
The doctor picked up one Of the bivaIyes.

with a sigh OF satisfaction slipped it into his
mouth.

claimed, smacking his lips. You must have

And without more ado the remaining oys
tiers, one after another. went to satisfy the
hunger of the Health Department of the city
of Chicago.
There was a long period of silence which
was broktn by the lady. who said very
meekly, "DoctOr!'

The Emperor,s Helm.

A pretty story about the good heart of the
young Emperor of Germany is going the
rounds in the court circles of Berlin. Dur
ing recent dinner at the house of Herr Won
Kotze, master of ceremonies at the imperial
court Count Gutenberg told his Majesty Of
a young music teacher in Carlsbad who had
lost her piano in the late flood. The girl
was poverty-stricken by her loss, as the
piano was the only means of earning her
daily bread. The story touched the kind
nature of Emperor William and he at once
proposed to take up a collection for her
benefit. Placing 100 marks on plate he
passed it around the table and quickly
secured enough money to purchase the
young woman a new piano and to give her
a fresh start in life. 1t is needless to add
that the happy teacher is "SchwaeTmerin'
