What an Eavesdropper Heard at a
Consultation of Doctors.

One of the most prominent citizens OF
the South Side was sick last week. He
did not know the nature of his COM
plant, but he had no doubt as to its
severity. He suffered several days in
spite of the efforts of the family ply
sician. Then he began to realize he
was growing worse. He asked the doc
tor to tell him what was the matter
with him. When that learned person
got through telling him he did not full
ly comprehend what it was, but he had
a feeling CT dread alarm.
II want you to call some of the best
doctors in town to a consultation" he
said.
The family physician obeyed, and the
next day half a dozen medical men
came and examined him. Then they
withdrew to a room and consulted.
When they concluded their conference
they told the patient that the treat
ment he was receiving was the proper
one and they believed he would soon
be convalescent.
The patient grew worse. He asked

to his heart and lungs, and then they
retired. After half hour they re-
turned to the sick man.

man, that the same treatment should
be persevered in and that you will soon
be convalescent"
The doctors went away and the but
Ter came out of his hiding place.
What did they say?" asked the head
of the house. turning a feverish look
from the silk-cased pneumatic pillow
on which his head rested. The butler
hesitated.
Don't be afraid to tell the truth. I
am prepared to know the worst. 1t
cannot hurt me more than this awful
suspense
well, they didn't talk much about
you at ALL" said the butler.
What did they talk of?''
We'll, they sat around and chatted
about several things. Then one of
them said: What is the matter with
him?' Two or three said they didn't
know Then one turned to the famf-
ly physician and said: What do YOU
think it is, doctor?' He said he'd be
hanged if he knew. Another one said
