WANTED TO SEE A CURIOSITY.
What Victimized Physician Replied to



What victimized Physician Replied to
"a Confidence Operators Proposition.
A group of doctors from the keystone
state were chatting one day, says the
Washington Post, and the conversation
turned on the exploits of a rascal who
victimized large number of physicians
up in Pennsylvania some years ago.
He worked a very slick confidence game
on the disciples of Galen, and after
beating them to the tune of fifteen or
twenty thousand dollars fled the state.
The victims were SO sore over the mat
ter that they hired detective to hunt
the villain down. After lively chase
that lasted for six months the swindler
was located in another state. 1t ap-
pears that there was some doubt about
the ability of the injured parties to
bring him back for punishment He
p hired good counsel and declared his in
tention of remaining where he was
Finally committee of the feeced med
icine men went to the scene and waited
on the swindler. He received them
with the greatest air of cOmposure and
easy assurance, appearing in no wise
abashed.
What do you gentlemen want with
me?" he said. Il haven't cent of the
money. It's all been spent months ago.
If you want my body, take it. It's all
I've got to give up
Then he smiled complacently upon
the committee, waved them a graceful
salute and walked off
What did the scOundrel say?" re-
marked old Dr.. Mcbride, who was quite
deaf, to one of his colleagues.
He said we could take his body"
The deuce he did. Well, 1 don't
want his body, but I'd really like to

three-quarters of an inch long. Use
well-seasoned mahogany or any hard
wood about seven-eighths to one inch
thick for the main case and for the
cover, that one-qarter or three-eighths
inch in thickness is best. The pieces Of
wood should be made larger than the
dimensions given, and if marked and
bored before saving to the size desired
there will be less likelihood of
splitting.
Fig. is drawn full size, from which
the dimensions for the holes in the
wood can be obtained. The two and
one-quarter inch space under the dia-
phragm F can be bored with an extern
sion bit or marked out with compass
and cut out with chisel. The inch
hole should be bored with bit which
has no lip, in order to leave strength
sufficient for counter-sinking the head
of the stove bolts. The depression in
the lid need not be as deep as shown,
but merely enough to clear the dia-
phragm. The stove bolt should be cut
to a length little longer than neces-
sary and then carefully filed and fitted
by trial so that when in place it will
just clear the diaphragm.
For the wire spool should be made
of cardboard to fit the bolt and CEN
trail hole neatly; the spool with wire,
E, is wrongly shaded in the cut.
The magnet is held in place, with
one pole over the bolt head, by piece
of wood, as shown in Fig. (half
size), the part between the legs of the
magnet just clearing the bottom when
the screws are home. The ends of the
wire are brought to the binding posts
through two small holes bored in the
wood. Magnetic bells are the best, and
In the end the cheapest, for use as call
bells in connection with the telephone.

bold that one Of them tripped up the
fat colored cook as she walked across
the kitchen, and she killed it by sitting
down upon it. The animals made a
network of tunnels under the brick
pavements and in the walls. They
were not content with ordinary food,
but preferred the remnants of state
dinners particularly chicken cro-
quettes and pate de foie gras. They
lived high while Andrew johnson was
president, because Mr.. johnson was a
high liver and did not care much about
his surroundings. This was unfortu-
nate, because there were persons. at
that time resident in the executive es-
