II Didn't WORK.

A doctor on the north side played a
neat little trick upon his wife. Ever
since she first met him he has been
bearded like the pard, and both whis-
kers and mustache have been regarded
as no inconsiderable part of his profess
sional outfit The lady was returning
from the country, and her lord was to
meet her at the depot. He usually wears
a Prince Albert black coat and tall
silk hat, as becometh the dignity of a
medicine man. He changed all that
upon the appointed day.
First he went and had his face clean
shaved He then purchased a straw
hat with blua ribbon band. and FASTENED
10 array him self in n light suit. of which
he coat was a short sack. buttoned up
10 the chin. he saw his wife looking
but for him, and, keeping his head
burned down, he approached the car and
said in disguised voice: Can l be Of
Any assistance, madam"
The somewhat disconsolate lady
lhanked him and said she would be
huch obliged if he would call a carriage.
When she had taken her seat he jumped
N and sat beside her without SAYING a
word. She gave him a long. piercing
look, and then said calmly, why, you
great idiot, you're almost naked. Chi

SINCE WE MUST DIE.

Though we must die, would not die
When fields are brown and bleak.
When wild geese stream across the SKY
And the cart lodge timbers creak,
For IL would be so lone and drear
To sleep beneath the snow,
When children carol Christmas cheer,
And Christmas rafters glow.
Nor would die, though we must die.
When weanliRgs blindiy beat,
When cuckoo laughs and lovers sigh,
And oh, to live Is sweet
When cowslips come again, and spring
Is wtnson1e with their breath,
And hfe's IN love with everything,
With everything but death.
Let me not die, though we must die
When bowls are brimmed with cream,
When rhilch COWS in the meade SIS lie,
Or wade amid the stream;
When dewy dirnpled roses smile
To see the face Of June,
And lad and lass meet at the stile,
Or roam beneath the moon.
Since we must die then let me die
When flows the harvest ale,
When the reaper lays the sickle by,
And tal1eth down the fail;
When al we priced and all we planned
Is ripe ana stored at last,
And autumn looks across the land,
And ponders on the past,
Then let me die.
