"A good story is told of DR., x, who IL
the physician in charge Of the female
wards of one of our best known chari-
table institutions. One evening about
8 O'clock Mary, a new Irish servant
girl knocked at the door, saying:
Doctor, the head nurse wants you
to come down to supper"
The doctor, swelling In his pride of
superiority above the nurses, sent the
Irish girl away with q curt message.
Half an hour later the head nurse came
to his room looking very serious.
Doctor" she said, No. 8 is very bad
indeed. I think you ought to see her at

"Why, Doctor said the nurse, II

ago"
''The fool!'' said the doctor. "She
told me to come down to support

word to come down to eight!''
An inquiry made the whole thing
clear. Mary thought it more polite to
say Come down to supper" than to

For an ordinary bruise such as re

use a mild astringent of some sort,

the bruise constantly wet until the

After the pain has ceased and only dis

the tale it is good plan to apply a

extra flow Of fresh blood to the spot
In the case of a severe bruise the sup,
ply of blood to the injured part must
be lessened by eleyating it above the

The Red FIa.r.

A .
The red button and the red flag have
been the emblem Of labor and revolu-
ton for more than 5000 years. In the
ancient world the favorite eolors of the
aristocracy were white and azure blue,
while red was plebeian. Minerva and
Ceres, the goddesses of labor, and agri-
culture, were always represented as
dressed in flaming red, and the ban
ners Of the Greek and Roman trade
unions were Of the same color. The red
flag nowhere in antiquity meant feroc-
ity and slaughter, but rather typifed
the fact that all men, whether, slaves
or masters, had In their veins the same
blood and in their nature the same hui
mainly.
But in the frequent servile wars of
Italy and Greece the red flag gradually
became the emblem not of labor, but OF
revolt. At one time when the rebel
lious slaves and gladiators under Spar.
tacus defeated three Roman armies the
red flag was on the, point Of supplant.
Ing the eagle in the imperial city itself.
It is related that the labor soldiers
were so fanatically devoted to their
flag that it was the custom Of their
generals when in battle to hurl it far
into the enemy's ranks and SO compel
its devotees to rush forward and recov-
er it.-New York Post

Some years ago King Edward VII,
then Prince Of Wales, was guest at
q country house in England. and, pick
ing upa sporting paper in the billiard
room one morning, was soon deep in
Its contents. "A clergyman, also d
guest noticed this, and, Siding up,
asked in tone that was meant to
carry reproof, rs your royal highness
really interested In that paper?''
The prince glanced around. Il never
read anything do not feel interested
in" he remarked.
The clergyman, though, would not be
denied. ''Dt you know, your royal
highness, that enc Of my friends has
lost hundreds Of pounds by betting on
horse racing and has never won any

"Well," said the prince as he turned
to another column, .he must have been

The thought, however. is attributed
by the French to Marshal Villars,
while Kant discovers it in an italian
proverb, and a German collection of
proyerbial wisdom gives it in modi-
fed form. Ambiguous, one of the gen
erals Of Alexander the Great, offered
sacrifice that the gods might protect
him from his friends and at the same
time declaring he could look after his
enemies himself. Churchill has some
