His Novel Point of View.

The young man was either an opti-
mist or the possessor of Harveyized
steel armor-Dlate nerve. Perhaps he
was a little of both.
A short time ago he came to the con-
clusion that he would like to insure his
life. With this object in view he made
application to a prominent company
After filling out the necessary blank
he received an invitation to call upon
the medical officer of the company and
undergo the usual physical examina-
ton. In due course he presented him
self at the office of the examining ply
sician.
Requesting the young man to remove
his coat and vest the doctor produced
a stethoscope and began his examina-
ton. All at once he stopped and re-
garded the candidate with an express
sion of alarm.
Young man." he said, "do you think
you can bear a shock?"
'oh, 1 guess so," was the cheerful
response. Fire away and let me hear
the worst"
You have only one lung!" announc-
ed the doctor solemnly
well, what of that?" retorted the
Ne1AieAAA1ec, Will the ulluOSI cO1npOSure.
I never told you I had any more did
I?">
What" exclaimed the doctor, "do
you mean to say you were aware of
your condition.
Of course l was. Do you suppose a
man could only have one lung without
being aware of the fact?"
And yet" said the doctor, you ap-
ply to respectable company for a
policy of life insurance Do you expect
to get it?''
certainly do. Not only that, but I
think 1 ought to get it at a substantial
reduction in the premium"
Upon what ground, may 1 ask?"
upon the ground that having only
one lung 1 am 80 per cent. less liable
to contract consumption than if had
two lungs"
