The Absent Treatment.

A good story is being circulated
among the medical men of Cleveland,
a story which was started by the vic
tim himself. He is a physician of con-
siderable repute, and some time ago
was called to attend gentleman suf-
fering from a slight complication of
disorders. The doctor went to work
with will and presently he had the
patient on the road to recovery. In
fact, two weeks from the time he un-
dertook the case he had him cured.
As he left the house after announc-
ing that further visits would be un-
necessary, the daughter of the restored
man accompanied him to the door.
Doctor" she said in somewhat trem-
ulous tones, Il want to tell YOU
The doctor, who supposed she was
anxious to express her gratitude for his
skilled attention, waived her thanks
aside.
Don't mention it, madam" he af-
fably said, I'VE always try to do our
duty"
But, doctor" she persisted, ut is
something that will interest you. I feel
that
Say NO more, madam" cried the
doctor, much moved by the womans
agitation.
1T is something must tell you doc
tor, she continued. please listen"
The doctor halted with his hand on
the door knob.
Yesterday" said the woman, 'I was
downtown and met Mrs. Pugsley, the
Christian Scientist, and she told me she
had been giving father absent treat
ment' for two weeks. Isn't it just too
wonderful?'
Good morning" said the doctor, dry.

The Tooth Of Buddha

The solitary tooth of Buddha is to be
contained in what will probably be the
most valuable Golfer in the world A
Shan chieftain recently sent to Moul-
mein, in Burmah, an emerald worth, it
is declared, two lakhs of rupees, in or
der that the Burmese Buddhists might
include it among the jewels which they
are going to send to Ceylon in order to
adorn the tooth holding Golfer. Jewelry
worth $4,000 rupees had been already
received from Rangoon and Mandalay,
and the Moulmein Buddhists have
themselves secured jewelry to the value
of $1,000 rupees. Thus the total value
of the jewelry adorning the Golfer will
be about three and a half lakhs.-Lon-

sIt is a horrible situation to be in,"

worst of it is that cannot see any

would end some day, and 1 would enter
upon the reward of my perseverance.
Maybe I am to blame for carrying
the idea that had money to burn; but
I had to keep UP appearances somehow,
or her father would never have allowed
me inside the house.
II have tasted pleasure unalloyed in
my time, but it wasn't when she was
thanking me for flowers that took my
last cent and left me wondering where
my next meal was coming from But
was always cheered by the thought that
my suit was progressing, and that 1t

well, the situation had to be met,
and by selling my wheel and wearing
my last winters overcoat managed to
raise enough money to buy a ring that
was worthy of the girl.
Il started out to buy the real thing;
but when I saw how closely fney were
initiated by inferior goods had an
idea. I picked out two genuine rings
as well as two that were merely inii-
tations. and sent them up to the girls
house for her to pick out the one that
she liked best, trusting to luck that she
would pick out one of the cheaper kind.
Il have just received a note from the
girl saying that they are all perfectly
lovely; that she is unable to pick out
the one that she liked the best, 80 she
has concluded to keep them all wearing
them alternately, and thus setting a
style in regard to engagement rings.

A Curious Crank.

The Immortal J. NJ" otherwise J.
N. Free, the man who controls the uni
verse, was at the Union depot for q few
hours yesterday. He came from no one
knows where, for u. N" does not be-
leve in telling the depot officials
whence he comes or whittier he is
bound. All the depot officials know is
that they saw him on the platform, his
gripsack between his feet, his long
gray hair floating in the breeze, while
he harangued a crowd Of the curious
that had gathered about him
u. Ms" latest achievement is HIS
one theme. He stopped the meteoric
display that was slated for a week ago,
as he thought it might prove danger
Gus. Had it got beyond his control he
could not have answered for the safety
of any one in Kansas City or anywhere
in the world, for that matter But it
was all right. u. NJ. was watching
for it, and did not oversleep himself
the night the heavens were supposed
to be in convulsions. His mighty grasp
on nature saved the world.

become as nothing, and all you people

j. N" puffed out his cheeks and ex-
ploded his breath in a manner that was
highly suggestive of what the almighty
pressure could accomplish were it not

grip filed with them and with news
paper clippings from every city in the

how much-but he has never been
known to work, all of his time being
taken up in keeping the heavens and
earth under control, and his one regret
is that when he ceases to exist the
world will be snuffed out like a farth-
ing dip. u. N" is not crazy: he is
simply cracked, and the fissure in his
