an whose name is johnson. She Is long past
the time when she should work, for white
! wool has taken the place of the southdown
covering nature originally endowed her
with. Her husband and herself were slaves
before the war. Now it happened that
"Auntie" johnson acquired an acute case
of tonsiltis. So she sent old man johnson
out to get doctor.
johnson performed his mission by bring.
ing the young doctor back with him. The
doctor has had experience with colored peo-
pie and was prepared for almost anything
that might happen. He made the proper
examination and finding the glands badly
swollen, decided to Use the tincture of
chloride of iron with potassium as a gargle.
He made the mixture on the spot and then
handed the bottle to the old woman re-
marking:
Now, auntie, you must be careful with
this"
"IIuh-speck yo' all done give me pizen,"
interjected the negress, as she eyed the
liquid susplclousy.

broke out into the most uproarious laughter.

mlrth. She was convulsed with mirth Her
! husband stood on one foot and the other,
| watching his spouse with increasing anxiety.
| Then he took birdlike squirt at the doctor
| and finally blurted out:
"Foh Gawd, doctah, she amt laffin' at

The instructions were not insisted upon.

coming up the front stairs, and I'm getting
my revolver!"
All was silence again, in the midst of
which William crept noiselessly to the head
of the stairs. Presently there was loud re-
port, followed by a mad scurrying of feet;
then the husband came back, lighted .
lamp and returned to the stairway.
