onu tne giving OIL ver1tabie drink of cold
water Is far greater charity than pictur-
ing TO That man what he would look like
dressed up as an angel, playing on a harp.
IN MS present condition he has no use for
narps. Just remember that / don't want
70 say one word to keep any good woman
from trying to do her best. but | wish
lew OF them-just few-would be
little bit more practical, and remember
now; when they are ill, their own hus-
bands and sons want to be treated. and
credit other men with having the same
human feelings. A sick man Is always a
SAD and sorry sight--especially if he isn'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 aggressive position
toward the doctor, regarding him as a per-
sonal enemy, rather than kind friend.
doctors are very much like whisky
there's good whisky, and better whisky, so
they say, but there's no bad whisky. 1
take that back, though; there NAV be a
rev bad doctors, but their intentions were
honorable when they started in, and it is
probable because they have attended men
mat they have grown greedy and cold
fession.
DOCTORS GOOD DOCTORS,
are thousand times more tender hearted
IMAM any other men, because they know
JUST what the pain is, and how it is hurt
Ing, not only your body, but your mind.
Ihey Know Just when You are Worrying
over something; yes, and Just what medi.
cine you need besides that which comes
IN bottles from the chemist. They know
you need cheerful words; not too many.
Ihey know you need something to dis
tract your attention from yourself. and
they come into your sick room as if they
brought rays of sunshine with them, and
leave You feeling Ms many times better as
you felt worse before they came, A man
VINO isn't cheerful naturally, who isn't
born with that golden virtue, ought never
70 become 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
man and an angel, that is, on this earth,
NJ doctor who can not only cure your
pans, but make you absolutely thankful
to pay his bill, and make You willing to
pawn your soul to get the money to do it
MAN AND woMAN's SOUL.
Bye-the-bye, if people were pawning
souls, | wonder what they would get for
themY There are souls so mean and mar
row and contracted, that | don't believe
even the Maryland coin, known as flip
ana bit" and which is really SIX and a
quarter cents, would be given to them.
lhen there are souls that seem so over
flowing with loving kindness souls that
seem to rise up and look out of the eyes as
y they saw sweetness, and purity, and
light and yet in these souls there is that
awful, awful something, that we call sell
ilsi, that means II will have what want
ana he anything that want TO get, but
hnd the ainiable business is the most sue
ccessful." What would You give for soul
like that? think a colored Chinese coin,
with hole in the centre of it, would be
the best. Then there are good souls that
are like all-wool iiannel-warranted to
wear and not to shrink. Souls that have
had much to bother Them and for these, a
silver, piece might be given by generous
pawnbroker. And then there are souls
that have gone through the fire of life,
been struck by the sword of Temptation.
and are sweeter than they were before they
We're bruised, and for these, even the
pawnbroker would give gold and dia-
monds, for their price is above rubies.
HAVE you SEEN THEM, FRIEND?
Apropos of bodies rather than souls,
have you seen the girl from the other side
who now pronounces Charles as if il were
two syllables?
Have You seen the girl who yachted
from New York to New London. and
speaks of it as if she had been spending
her time all summer in cruising, and is at,
tired in q yacht costume day and night
nt least her intimate friends says that her
night-gowns have sailor collars on them
Have you seen the young gentleman
who, hearing that the harsh American
voice was objected to in London, has got
ten his down so low that you cannot hear
word he says, and you are under the i'm
preston that the idiocy of his brain has
affected his tongue?
Have you seen the man who PLAYED
three games of tennis this summer and
who is overwhelmingly anxious to con-
vince you Of the amount of muscle he
has; and to tell you how he goes IN for
athletics?
Have you seen the child who has been
impeachment all summer, and who has
come back home standing in great need of
systematic course of treatment from the
professional speaker
Have you seen the actor who has the
only part worth playing this season, and
who thinks you ought to exert yourself
and 60 to Kalamazoo or Deadwood to see
his conception of that part.
Have you seen the new STYLES in fur
coats? They are here. They are lovely.
They will take you in from the top of your
head to the soles Of your feet, and YOU will |
feel like Russian Dear-a little one, YOU
know. And you will find that Won will |
appreciate hugging more than ever.
