81 will have to give a word or two in
explanation in order to insure a thor
ough appreciation of this story" said
j. r. Rockhill, of Chicago, at the Fifth
Avenue hotel the other day. "In the
southern Illinois town where my father
lives there used to be selectman named
Watkins, who had held office so long
and reached so advanced an age that
jokes about few die and none resign
he had solved the question of living for
ever etc, were constantly applied to
him. Another seleetman- llssss he-sp sasas>
of Lindsey, who was something of wit,
was very sick and not expected to live,
and while he was in this state Watkins
fell ill of pneumonia, from which dis
ease he subsequently died. A friend
calling on Lindsey told him of Watkins
sickness and that his death was mo-
mentarily expected. A twinkle crept
into Lindsey's eye as he whispered to
his friend: No; Watkins won't die
this time. He'll never die. They'll have
to shoot him on judgment day. IN.

medicine as he originally intended to
do. But the average Sundowner never
accumulates anything. There are
thousands of men of this class in Wash
ington, but they do not amount to
much. They do not even interfere with
the incomes of the regular practition-
ers, because those who call upon them
for services at night are the very poor
people, who cannot afford to pay the
fees demanded by the successful physi-
clans, and very often they do not pay
the Sundowners anything at all.
But you must not suppose that all
of these people are physicians. There
are also lawyers and theologians by the
hundreds, who belong to the same class.
The young men who have graduated in
law have become briefmakers for law
yers, and they make extra money at
night doing office drudgery until their
ewes are dimmed with overwork by arti-
fetal light. The poor theologians, how
ever, never have the courage to go forth
and preach the Gospel which they know
SO well. But they make good Sunday
school teachers, and therefore it is that
some of the Sunday schools in this city
have such superior teachers. They are
