DR.. Honck's lecture Tuesday evening

DR.. Honck's lecture Tuesday evening
was attended by large audience. Very
rarely does one have the opportunity of
hearing so much solid, homely truth put
in so jolly and entertaining way. When
one sits down to listen to the "Old d and
the New" he may make up his mind to
an hour during which he will often roar
with laughter, and again and again feel
in his throat that choking sensation
which diSsipates itself in tears. Elo-
quence, pathos and genial fun, com
bined to make up lecture which well
deserves that highest of compliments
that it was too short Good piano music
was given by Miss CARRIER, of Martins
Ferry, and Mr.. Hopkins, of Bellaire, sang
several songs.

The man recounted NIL he know of
Pearson's meeting with Paul and the
encounter that followed, and ended by
saying:
I'm sure his leg Is broken, besides
other serious injuries"
II wish to Heaven IL had been his
neck instead of his Leg" cried Scraggs.
Aye" said the doctor aside to
Scraggs, but leg Is better than
nothing, and IL we can't have what we
want we must take what we can get. :"
Are you going to him?" Scraggs
asked.
'Yes, indeed. You wait here an hour
or so and I'll see you again"
With that the doctor went out and
down the street 20 Pearson's room. He
found Pearson in semi-unconscious
condition, and proceeded to make an
examination of his injuries. At first he
was inclined to treat them rather
lightly, but on second thought he
changed his mind and his face took on
grave air and he shook his head du-
biously.
''Is he badly hurt, doctor?" some one
asked.
bad enough TO keep him In bed for
several days, sure" the doctor replied.
we must splint and bandage this limb
and he must be kept perfectly quiet for
the present"
Accordingly the limb was duly ar
ranged, the bruises about the face
dressed, and, after again repeating his
inJunctions in regard TO keeping the pa
tent quiet, the old doctor withdrew
and returned to Scraggs
Now, Scraggs," he said, as he en-
tered the Office, we've got good
chance to carry out our plan. We've
got Pearson laid up with broken leg.
and II we can get old Blatchford out
here before he gets up and about we're
all right"
Great heavens, man! we can GER
talnly do that. Blatchford ought to get
here inside of six days, and l should
think it would take n broken leg sew
eral weeks to heal
Yes, ordinarily it does talte several
weeks, but in this case It won't"
Won't? Why notP"
because, and the doctor advanced
and sunk his voice to a whisper. '.be-
