Life.


A famous Scottish physician was, un-
fortunately, given to drink He drew
the line on the safe side of uproariness
and incapability, but not infrequently he
was so muddled as to be consciously .un-
fit for his work. One night, when he
had more than a wee dappie in his e'e,
he was sent for by lady of title He
responded, went to visit her, sat down
gravely by her bedside, looked at her
tongue, felt her pulse, and asked one or
two questions, says the Gentleman's
Magazine. CONSCIOUSNESS Of his unfit
ness for work, he mOmentarily forgot
himself andS exclaimed: Drunk, by
JoSe.' Recovering, he managed to write
out a simple prescription and went home
crestfallen that he had so badly given
himself away. The following day the
physician received a message from his
noble patient, asking him to call. He
responded, though much uneasy in his
mind because of the summons. The lady
told him that she had confession to
make, that he had rightly diagnosed her
condition, and that unfortunately Of late
she had given way to. liquor, and that
she implored the physician to keep the
matter profoundly secret. He listened
as grave as judge. "You may de-
pend upon me, madam" he said at
length; II shall be as silent as the

about a parrot once owned by lady III
Chicago: 'When the great fire was rag
ing. an owner saw that she could res
cue nothing except what she instantly
took in her hands. There were two OBJ
jects equally dear, the parrot and the old
family Bible. and she couldn't take but
one. After a moment of hesitation she
seized the Bible, and was Fastening away
when the parrot cried out in a loud
and solemn voice, Good Lord, deliver
us!'' No human being could have been
deaf to such an appeal; the precious BIZ
BILE was sacrificed and the bird saved.
He was otherwise a clever bird In the
home to which he was taken there were
among other visitors a gentleman rather
noted, for yolubility. When the parrot
first heard him it listened in silence for
some time, then to the amazement of all
present, it said very emphatically, You
talk too much.' The gentleman, at first
embarrassed, presently resumed his inter

Bishop Huntington told this story ON
himself during one of his last visits to
Washington. The good bishop, it seems,
once went down to a town i'm Connecticut
to perform a marriage ceremony. He
arrived the day before the wedding, and
he left at the same time the bridal pair
did. although he was driven to a diff
ferent railway station. AS he passed
through the station, carrying his travel
ing bag, he was aware that he was Gre
ating a sensation, but was totally at a
loss to account for 1T. In the car he
found that he, was still the object of
amused attention. The porter positively
snickered as he passed his seat, and final
ly, just as the train pulled out, he came
up and assisted the churchman to re-
move his overcoat.
''What is the matter with you, my
man?' asked the bishop. The porter S
smoker broadened into laugh.
"Ainit you done lief the lady, sah?''
he chuckIed.
''Eh?" exclaimed the bishop in surprise.
Then his eye fell on the side of his trav-
cling bag, which the porter had just
turned round. There glued to it was a
wide strip of white satin ribbon, ON which
was painted in large letters:
Married this morning"
The facetiously minded best man had
mistaken the bishops travelling bag for
that of the bridegroom, and chuckling
black lporter worked late into the night
removing that ribbon Washington Post.
