Cot Even For III, Gin,

''The people here are not very kind
to me-" said young physician of the
Whitemarsh valley, whose shingle has
been out for several weeks.
"Not very kind! Is that so" asked
the friend to whom he complained.
"Thats SO; but I'll get even with
them," replied the physician. l got
even with one yesterday. He's the
leading man of the town, and when he
called on me was glad and gave him
a grand reception. But what do you
think he said? ANY port in a storm,
DOCTOR says he. I'm in hurry, and
guess you'll have to do What's
the matter? said 1, trying not to ap-
pear hurt. oh, disordered stomach,
he answered, bad headache, cramps
and all that Then what do you think
I did? l gave him dose Of certain
drug that in an hour laid him on his
back, roaring with pain. His wife came
for me, hot footed, and hurried to the
house and sat beside the bed and gloat-
ed over his agony. When 1 felt that
I had had full revenge, ! eased him
off. Wasn't that clever way to get
even? 1t was a hundred times better
than punch in the nose. If the fel-
low ever insults me again, I'll half kill
him" m."-Philadelphia Record.

"a curious plant" said an eminent
botanist to the writer a day or two
ago, "is the wild tamarind or juba
plant Of the riverside and waste places
Of tropical America, and very strange
are its effects upon the nonruminant
animals that feed upon it's young
shoots, leaves, pods and seeds. 1t
causes horses to lose the hair from
their names and tails, has similar ef-
feet upon mules and donkeys and re-
duces pigs to complete nakedness.
Horses are said to recover when fed
exclusively on corn and grass, but the
new hair is of different color and
texture from the old, so that the ami
NAL is never quite the same as 1t was
zone animal of which / personally
knew, after feeding on the plant, lost
It's hoofs and had to be kept in slings
until they grew and hardened again.
Ruminant animals are not thus af-
fected, and the growth Of the plant Is
actually encouraged in the Bahamas as
fodder plant for cattle, sheep and
goats. The difference Is probably due
to changes effected upon 1t In the
chewing of the cud."-Washingto

"One Of the favoritc properties Of
story writer's is the garrett" grumbled
an artist the other evening. "The
starving genius always writes his
great poem in garret, the poor little
sick child never fails to die In a gar
ret, usually on a pallet of straw and
when future great men come to Il
strange city they invariably live in
garrets as a prelude to glory-in short.
the garret is the theatcr Of all manner
of romance, pathos and adventure-in
cction. In real life 1t is different.
when went to New YORK to study
nrt, had the great garret myth firmly
fixed on my mind, and the arst thing
did was to look for habitation Of
that kind. I was not especially hard
up, but garret seemed eminently the
fitting thing for struggling artist. To
my great disappointment l discovered
that there were no garrets In town.
There were few lofts used as store
rooms and top floor apartments with
slant roofs rented at enormous prices
to photographers and fashionable
painters, but the legendary garret was
entirely unknown.
II was finally obliged to compromise
on hall bedroom with a livery stable
exposure. 1t was cruel shock to my
imagination. When l run across the
old garret gag in story nowadays, II
makes me mad."-New Orleans Times.

man, Major Crofoot never forgets the
face or name of friend. You more
than any other man in the world have
been in my thoughts for the last three
days, and, as remarked, I was about
to start for your office. Thompson,
shake hands again."
II haven't time" replied Thompson.
"Look here, major. bills against you to
the amount of 5000 have been put into
our hands for collection. You promised
to pay that old board bill two months
ago. I want to know what you are 60
ing to do?"
do, my dear Thompson? Why. I'm
going to give you check in about ten
seconds for the whole Indebtedness.
You could have had your money long
ago if you had given me the slightest
hint. Major Crofoot has good men,
ory, but how can you expect him to
keep track OF shillings when he is
dealing in thousands Of dollars"
II heard you were promoting a lit
tle," said the lawyer as he waited for
the check.
"Ten companies formed in the last
three months, my boy, and the
eleventh just ready to be incorporated.
Grand aggregation of over 100000, 900
capital thus far, and every company
bound to pay at least 30 per cent divi-
dend. What do you suppose I've got
on hand nowf'
81 can't say, and as I'm in a hurry
you may fill out that check"
"The biggest scheme of all-the ne
plus ultra" whispered the major with
a flourish of his right arm. II expect
ed to stop at ten, but this scheme
came pushing along and had to take
it up. It's the richest Of them all.
It'll pay 100 per cent profit from the
very start. In a week from now the
Standard OIL company won't be on
earth"
"But I'm here about those bills"
"My dear Thompson, walk with me.
When I was hard up, you were one OF
the few who did not lose confidence in
my integrity. The man or woman who
trusts Major Crofoot never regrets 1t.
I might not have picked up this eley-
enth scheme but for you. l wanted to
let you in. 1 wanted to reward you
for your faith in me. Thompson, my
boy, sell out your law business-giye
it away-get rid Of it before night"
