nor agreeable, whether among horses or
human beings who sometimes initiate
it. The stallion in question had been

thus formed the habit Of rearing and
striking at boys when he was a cute lit

VERY TRYING.

TENTS in n Doctors Office.
There is a doctor in a neighboring
city who makes a speciality of dis
eases Of the nose and throat He is
skillful and successful practitioner and
has made a great reputation for him
self. One morning, not so very long
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-08-19

ago, a young man went to see him.
The specialist asked him a few ques-
tons, peered down his throat and then
took a towel and wet it under a tap.
He handed the towel to the young man
and said: Put that towel over your
nostrils and mouth and go into this
room in the rear of my office. Breathe
through it until 1 tell you to come out.
Do not, in any circumstance, remove the
towel until / call you into this office"
The young man did as he was bid.
He walked into the rear room, which
was a small, dingy place Uttered with
instruments and books and containing
two easy chairs. AS he went in he
looked at his watch. 1t was II 80
o'clock. He placed the wet towel over
his nostrils and mouth and sat down in
one Of the chairs. He had not been
there longer than fifteen minutes when
/ the door opened and the rather pretty
young woman whom he had observed
in the waiting room came in. She carried
a wet towel in her hand, and she very
carefully placed it over her nostrils
and mouth and sat down in the other
chair.
They cat there for half an hour
longer. Then the girl thought of
something. She held up her hands
and slowly and laboriously spelled out
with her fingers, do you understand
the sign language?" The young
man nodded his head vigorously Then
sne spelled out, What on earth makes
him keep US here so long?" The
didn't know. Il don't dare go away
or go out there" she spelled, for he's
awful cross, and he's so high priced
and knows so much that l want to get
all the good 1 can from him this visit
Same here spelled the young man.
By this time it was o'clock. They
moved their chairs together, still keep
ing the now dry towels over their
mouths and nostrils and talked with
their fingers for another hour At 4
o'clock the imprisonment became little
less than torture. They could not
walk around, for if they did the towels
would drop off, and that would never
do. They did not want to go out into
the doctors office, for they did not
know but the doctor might have an
excellent object in keeping them there.
They endured another hour When
the young man looked at his watch for
the three hundred and thirty-seventh
time, he found it was O'clock. During
that hour, from to 5, he had been
growing very restless. He was hungry.
AT o'clock he tore off the towel and
said vigorously; 'I'll not stay here
another minute for all the throat doc
outrage" The young woman pulled
her towel down and said: ooh, I'm
ever SO much obliged to you for that"
Then together, carrying the towels,
they went out to the other office 1t
was empty. They went into the wait
ing room. There was no one there.
They walked out the front door and
down the STEP They saw no one.
Half block down the street they met
the doctor ambling along with a big ci-
gar in his mouth and a look of serene
contentment on his face. "Herer"
shouted the young man to him as the
three met. What in the name of
the larynx of the great joss do you
mean by keeping us in that room so
long?"
The look Of contentment on the doc
tors face gave place to startled ex-
preston. Why" he said confusedly.
upon my soul, 1 forgot all about YOU
