Nobody Paid Her Fare,

A young woman got aboard n West
Broad street car and discovered, to her
humiliation. that her fare was missing
when the conductor called. In a gruff
manner the custodian OF the car said
he'd have to get the fare at once or the
woman would have to walk. This dec
laration added to her embarrassment
The car was crowded. On her right sat
genial Irishman and on her left a
well known bookkeeper. The book
keeper and Irishman exchanged sever
al meaning glances. The conductor was
about to pull the bell rope. The book
keeper said he'd pay the fare as the
young woman looked perfectly honest.
The conductor repeated that he'd put
the woman off. This aroused the Irish
man, who said, "If you put the woman
off, your funeraPll be tomorrow" See
Ing slight nervousness on the part Of
the conductor, he continued:
How many people on this car want
to attend the funeral of this conduct
orr" Several answered in the affirma-
tive. The conductor grew excited and
In the alteration that followed walked
u the platform without securing the
woman's fare.-Columbus Dispatch.

Appendicitis" said DR.. Able in an
address before the New York Academy
of Medicine, "has few rivals in the sur
gical field and takes rank today with
typhoid, pneumonia and rheumatism in
medical thought. Surely when the ac-
tive surgeon Of today can number 100
operat tions for diseased appendices
yearly-and there are dozen such men
in New York and in other cities in the
same proportion--we begin to grasp the
importance of the subject and its men
ace to the community.
"The public continues to ask the ply
stefan what was appendicitis formerly,
and he answers, Probably 1t passed
under the description of inflammation
of the bowels" or 'peritonitis." 1t is
true that less than generation ago
numberless people in the course of
summer travel were stricken with so
called Inflammation of the bowels OF
peritonitis and died.
Now we hear of no one so reported
but 1t is said, He had an attack of ap-
pendicitis, was beyond the reach of a
surgeon and died or 'So-and-so had an
attnck of appendicitis, was operated
upon and recovered Hospital stats
tics show the same changes of tabulat
ed diseases. 1t is merely new name

Is TO obtain samples of metal from all
parts of the dollar, inasmuch as 1t is
conceivable that one portion might be
richer In silver than another. The little
disks are shuflled together and few

Duttered Side I'm,

One OF the stories which Levi Hutch
ins. the old time clockmaker of Con-
cord, N. H.. delighted to tell related to
the youth of Daniel Webster.
"One day." said the old man, while
] was taking breakfast at the tavern
kept by Daniels father. Daniel and his
brother Ezekiel, who were little boys
with dirty faces and snarly hair, came
to the table and asked me for bread
and butter.
II complied with their request, little
thinking that they would become very
distinguished men. Daniel dropped
his piece of bread on the sandy floor.
and the buttered side of course was
down. He looked at 1t n moment, then
picked 1t UP and showed 1t to me, say
ing:
"'What a pity! Please give me a
piece of bread buttered on both sides;
then IL let 1t fall one Of the buttered
sides will be up"
