Hospital doctors ana nurses gave

they utilized supply wagons and even

made upon the police department for

Gangs of men went through the east

From Houston to Division street, east

This is the sentiment of quite a number in

shower.

1t is peculiar belief among the
Youngsters of many families that the
new baby sister or brother is the
gracious gift of the family physician,
and this belief is generally based upon
the solemn assurance of papa and ma
ma, who have to tell some fairy story
in order TO tide over those events that
occur occasionally in the best regu-
lated families. Now and then a boy
takes the law into his own hands and
makes a mess of it. An instance of
this kind was related at the last meet
ing of the medical society. 1t seems
that the young son of Il Well-inown
tailor and the young son of well
known doctor were very chummy,
and the former accompanied the latter
one afternoon on an advertising eXpe-
dition. The advertising was done by
means of paint brush being quickly
traced over any smooth piece of wood
or stone encountered, and called upon
the male population to purchase their
trousers from Brown. Well, in the
evening the doctors hopeful returned,
and his paternal derivative asked him
what he had been doing during the
day.
"Advertising,' quoth the boy.
Advertising whom?" inquired the
father.
You and Mr.. Brown (the tailor)"
"Me?"
Yes
"How did you advertise me?'
"Oh, we fixed up sign that said
Buy your trousers from Brown and
your babies from DR.. JONES'" said the
boy calmly.
The doctor gasped for breath, think
ing that the boy was having undue fun
/ with him, but he soon found out that
his hope and joy was telling the truth
and it cost him money the next day
/ to go over the boys route and rub
out all the advertisements.
