DOCTOR AND CORSET MAKER
Curious and Successful Business Com
binatfon by Sisters in Paris.
London Telegraph.

London Telegraph.
A Partisan lady doctor of medicine has
just had a, splendid idea. Her sister, not
having gone in for the higher education,
set up as staymaker. Now the two have
Joined forces, and are amassing fortune.
They have combined their different pro-
fessonal capacities in the following man
ner: Customers calling find themselves
first ushered into the lady doctors con-
sulting room. There they undergo reg
ular medical examination, they have to
answer the usual practitioners questions
their pulse is felt, their lungs sounded
their heart listened to, and SO on. The
doctor then, draws UP diagonisis, in
other words, an exact description of the
kind of corset which the build or state
of health of each customer requires that
she shall wear. It is even said that the
lady physician carries conscientiousness
so far as to forbid in some cases the
wearing of stays at all. When this dread
veto is pronounced, customers are bowed
out with many expressions Of regret and
sympathy But in the majority of cases
they are passed" by the doctor, and are
then ushered into the room where the
sister presides over her branch of the
business, and takes the measurements in
strict accordance with the medical in
structions. The partnership of staymaker
and physician has proved so successful
that, although the charges made are on
the highest scale of the corset trade,
consulting room and fitting shop are al
ways crowded.

was objected to as a most exorbitant sum

UNDERGROUND ROBBERIEs
This Is the story of Stolen Well
The Whole Family Grieved.

...- Detroit Free Press. -
Underground robbery is new variety,
of course, but it is always the incredible
that happens" remarked the last man
who had found chance to talk. We've
had good many things stolen out of our
backyard since We began to live on the
old place where we are now-my fathers
old place-but the theft which grieved US
most was that of our velour old we'll,
that was dug about forty years ago. You
can replace shovels, axes, hatchets,, coal,
wood or kindling which is stolen from
your premises, but you can't replace. an
old we'll"
The other men all stared; and one Of
them said that he didn't see how anybody
could steal a we'll.
THAT'S true, too,'' said the other man.
ut is astonishing, and we counldn't be-
lieve it for long time. Our old well
suddenly began acting up and we sent
for the pump man, thinking the pump was
out of order. He said we needed a new
pump; SO it was ordered and put in place
"a SIS pump. Goodness! I wish had that
SIS back again! -...-, -..s
For few days the water seemed to
come all right; and then the we'll acted
up again; water wouldn't come at all.
Sent for the pump man again, and told
him his old pump wasn't any account
didn't bring up any water. He investi-
gated the matter and returned the as
,, founding verdict that there wasn't any
water in the we'll, not a drop We could
Ehardly believe it, but had to accept it.
Weeks, and months went by, but the well
never came back to business at the old
stand. The whole family grieved over it,
and the 1eighbors, too. That old well had
been local patriarch, so to speak. On q
train, one day, 1 was telling another man
about the unaccountable disappearance Of
our good old family we'll, and he asked me
If any new ice factories had started up In
the neighborhood. I told him that one
had begun operation a block away from
us, just about the time We, lost our we'll.
" That's it, he said, ice factories al
ways sink very deep wells, and that ice
factory has drawn off your we'll That
happened in our town once, and five other
wells in the same neighborhood went, too.
BY jimminy, what we need in this coun-
try is society for the, protection OF
wells X 81
''This Is a true story concluded the
speaker. and our stolen we'll has never
come back
