4 Busy Doctor.

DR.. Liddelrs morning levees were
crowded beyond description. 1t was
his pride and boast that he could feel
his patients pulse, look at his tongue,
sound him with stethoscope, write his
prescription and pocket his fee in a
space of time varying from two to five
minutes.
One day an army man was shown into
the consulting room and underwent
what might be termed the instanta-
neous process. When it was completed
the patient shook hands with the doctor
and said:
81 am especially glad to meet you. as
I have often heard my father, Col.
Forester, speak of his old friend DR..
Liddel"
"What!'' exclaimed the doctor, ''are
you Dick Forester's son?"
81 am, sir"
"My dear fellow!' exclaimed the
doctor, fling that prescription into the
fire, will you, please, and sit down and
tell me what is the matter with you?''

SHERMAN LOST THE BASKET.
The Senator Accompanied His Bride t.
Market on One Occasion.

The Senator Accompanied His Bride to
Market on One Occasion.
Mrs. Sherman invariably goes to
market several times a week, says
Washington. So do other senator's
wives, and sometimes a great. states
man goes along just for amusement, or
from a sense of duty. Mrs. Sherman
had watched Senator Henderson, of
Nebraska, escorting his wife through
the market, even occasionally Juggling
the provision basket. Mrs. Sher-
man thought her husband might show
her the same attention, and quoted
Mr.. Henderson to him till in simple
despair Mr.. Sherman consented to be
annexed on market day. He went the
whole rope and even carried the basket.
but Mrs. Sherman has never mentioned
market to him since. He lost the
basket and she lost him, for time.
and, when the great fnancier was safe
in his own home, he announced in big
type that Senator Henderson and all
the rest of both houses might go to the
market every day of their lives, but as
for him, John Sherman, as long as he
possessed his mental faculties, he
would never be persuaded into going
again.

''You landlubbers of to-day are Gym

away back in the month of Novem-
Der, in the year 1864, before the war
was over, [ was serving on the good
ship Metacomet We had been moving
southwark into the Campeachy banks,
where red snappers abounded by the
million. The schools of these fishes
were often miles in length, and with
hook and line we stood at the boats
side all day catching them by the hun
dred using only large chunks of pork
for bait No sooner would the bait
strike the water than the big fish
would swallow it, only the next mo-
ment to be landed on the deck. The
heads were cut off and the fish packed
in barrels. We filed on an average of
thirty barrels a DAY. The heads were
then thrown back into the water, and
this naturally drew sharks. One day
the boats'n, Billy Wilson, was told to
make big hook with which to capture
shark. 1t was fastened to the lead
line and baited with six-pound chunk
of pork. Far out in the water it was
thrown for the shark to swallow, and,
oh q hn ha
gan running out at a speed that soon
required the application of water to
save it from scorching. When it came
to sudden stop Wilson and Gill, the
sailmaker, began to tire out the fish by
taking in the line. At last, when It
was within ten feet of the vessel, vol
ley of rifle bullets was poured into it.
In an instant the shark turned again
and made dart, jerking the line from
the mems hands and throwing them
overheard. Away and away it went,
and the work of firing it out was again
begun. When a second time the large
white body was exposed to view num-
Der of volleys were fred into it, even
Capt. Jewett taking hand from the
hurricane deck.
All hands, up shark
''The command rang out and one
hundred men with willing hands seized
the line, the next instant landing the
shark on the deck with a louder noise
than if a fve-pound gun had been dis
mounted. Well, we cut that shark
open, and in the stomach we found an
old boot, a tin can and about a bushel
of fish heads When the jaws were
propped open and the mouth was dis
tended it was big enough to allow a
nine-year-old boy to walk in without
STOPPING. That fish measured over six
teen feet in length, and we cut it up
and weighed it in sections. 1t counted
up over two thousand pounds. Those
were the days, tell you" Cincinnati

few, if any, gained the prize, which
was more difficult to win than the Dun
