Free Medical Advice.

A good story has been told by
a family doctor regarding little
ruse adopted by one of his patients
who wished to save the expense
of consulting him.
The patient was woman of
good means, but of frugal dispo
sition. One day she began to
feel some alarm regarding her
health, and wishing to avoid a
costly procedure, made an appli-
cation to a life insurance company
for a policy of large amount-so
large, indeed, that they delegated
three medical men to make an ex-
haustlve examination of her before
they could accept her as risk.
In doe time she was informed
that her life had been accepted.
She was then in position to as
sumo that she was quite well,
whereupon she replied to the com.
pany that she had changed her
mind, and did not intend to take
out a policy just then. -Pearson's s

An Augusta lawyer told me
the other day of u witticism ut

was prosecuting attorney in a
criminal case. The evidence
plainly showed that the respon-

Greatly to the surprise of Paine,
and everybody else for that mat

As cheerfulness lightens our bur

How Young Lochinvar Shattered His
Fondest Dream.

Gerald Massingham, like young Loeb
nvar, had come out of the west, says the
Cleveland Leader. His father had made
s11 100000 in the shingle business and
the family moved in the best circles.
But Priscilla Boylston did not look
upon wealth as the only earthly bless
ing. Early in life she had acquired a
fine case of compound astigmatism and
now, in the flush of glorious woman
hood, her friends could point with pride
TO the fact that nothing less than 49,
horse power lenses would do her bit
of good.
The young man held her little hand in
his and sighed seven times in rapid sue
cession.
They were lovers.
At last in trembling tones he said:
priscilla, do you realize how happy
you make me? Your very presence is
a species of intoxication. Your smiles
lift me above the earth and its sordid
affairs. Your voice is as the sweetest
music in my ears. Each and every word
that you utter"
But she suddenly drew back as If he
had struck her with baseball bat. She
seemd dazed for an instant. She passed
her hands across her brow as If to brush
away some binding substance. Then
she cried out;
"Am / dreaming, or is this horrible
reality? Gerald, have you been talking
10 me?"
why, yes, darling" he replied, look
i1g at her in wild-eyed amazement.
"Then begin again where interrupt

But with a wild yell of terror she aed
and the tender romance was ended.

THE CAMEL'S EXPERIENCE.
This ship of the Desert Looked Woe
full for a Time.


a large camel which was landed at
Hobohen a few days ago from the Bre-
men line steamer Dresden had an ex-
perience which probably never before
fell to the lot of ship of the desert, "
says the New York Press.
He made the voyage in a large box,
and as there wasn't room enough in it
for any self-respecting animal the
camel sat down in sheer disgust. He
sat that way for days and days while
the ship rolled and made all sorts of
heavy weather. When the detected ami
NAL was finally landed and tried to
stand up he couldn't use his rear props
at all. They had become paralyzed with
their long stay in cramped position.
The camel wasn't any good, it seemed.
and, as big price had been paid for
him, there was general lamentation.
Such a picture of woe was never seen
in Hoboken.
At last genius suggested radical
cure. The camel, by his advice, was
placed in sling and hoisted up until
his toes touched the ground. He pad
died the air for a spell with his fore
legs, and finally the rear props came to
life and joined in the exercise. They
lowered him to the floor and. after he
had tested his rear legs somewhat gin
gerly, he was as good as new. But he
doesn't sit down any more. Once was
enough for him.
