Tho. witty Reply of an Irish Hosp



Tho, witty Reply of an Irish Hospital
PntieHt.
A doctor should be master of push
and parry, II he would get the better of
an Irish patient, intent upon conceal
ing more than he reveals as to the cause
of his sickness. DR.. Roose yelt, in an
article, "The Hospital" published in
Scribner's, tells how he was once
worsted in professional interview ut
the Roosevelt hospital with an Irish
laborer. The doctor writes:
was struck by the humorous look in
his face, but even moro by the unmis-
taxable, evidences Of hard drinking
which he presented. After asking some
other questions, 1 suddenly said:
You have been drinking pretty hard,
have you not2"
He looked at me with the most en-.
gaging of Irish smiles, and gravely in.
formed me that he had not done SO to
any extent, adding: "Well, you know,
I'm longshorcman, and av coorsc
we've been on n strike, and that names
that ivery wan had several drinks a
day, SO perhaps did take little"
After awhile told him first to hold
out his hands. which were shaly. Then
1 asked him to put out his tongue.
This was very tremulous, and said, =,
rather sharply,
What makes your tongue shake so
much If you have not been drinking?"
Looking Mt me in the most humble
manner, he answered without hesitat-
ing:
well, I don't know, sir, unless it's
the moiesty OF thnt organ ut bein'
thrust into prominence in the sight of
such foinc gintleman." 1 chan ged the

ness. Tho control Of the last named
committee was wanted by Hardin or
the silver men, so that the nominations
would precede the adoption OF plat
form. The sound money men, who
favor ClRy for Governor, wanted the
the platform adopted first, SO that in
the event OF the nomination Of Hardin
he could not influence the committee
in framing platform to suit his views
for unlimited coinage.
There was double contest in SC.
lecting the Committee on Resolutions.
First, both the silver and gold men
wanted to get majority OF the Nom.

views incorporated into tho platform.

dates for the Senatorship, we're run

involved in controloi the convention
moro than the Governor or any State

As the chairman OF the convention
appoints two members nt.lnrgc Of the
Committee on Resolutions and all
other committees, there was a very
hot fight for presiding officer. Tho
silver men wanted Judge William
Bcclsnor, and tho Sound money" men
wanted Congressman w. j. Stone.
