BOTH WORD AND THING.
How a Student Took Advantage Of
Farrar's Observation-Disclosures.

l donot know whether ii was from
Overwork OF why it was, but everynow
and then Farrar had an unfortunate
habit Of mechanically repeating him,
self. During one term, when this
habit was at its worst, we used to
have weekly lessons in the Septua-
gint, in every other verse of which
the Greek for "word' and work" are
interchanged. Regularly every Mon
day morning he used to explain his
confusion in these words: "The rea.
son why 'ergon' is used here instead
IF 'logos' is that it is a translation OF
Che Hebrew word Dabar, which means
both word and thing" Those four
hst monosyllables used to boom forth
IKE Big Ben striking fouF, orlike the
Sund Of two great amens. One Mon
lay morning Thersites, who sat next
20 me, whispered in my ear: eve
have not had Dabar yet. Shall I get
it2" I replied: "Do if you dare
And he unblushingly asked why Ser
gon" was used instead of 'logos" in
the passage which had just been
translated. "Ah!" said our rcvered
master, you could not be expected
to know that; but the reason" etc.
1t came out verbatim. He walked
with stately tread straight into the
open trap. Thersites remained '1ook-
ing wistfullywith wide blue eyes asi in

A MEDICAL TRIUMPH.
Fortunately the Doctors Discovered
Their Mistake at Autopsy.

fortunately the Doctors Discovered
Their Mistake at Autopsy.
The value Of a joke often depends
upon the viewpoint ofthe people who
hear it. There was an interesting in
eident during the past week before
the American 0rthopedic association
at the Arlington, when one of the
members was describing an operation
which resulted in the death of the
patient. He told all about the first
symptoms a lease ofhip disease, says
bhe Washington Star, and Of the OPP
srations that were performed. II
seemed that there were elements Of
The case that were not known at the
time Of the operations,
But, he said, calculating the sub.
ect with the greatest candor and
howing that the doctors interested
4 the case finally triumphed by So
uring a complete understanding Of
she matter, "the mistake was discov.
cred at the autopsy"
The intense interest Of the assem-
blage Of doctors was not interrupted
BY even a twitch of asingle risible.

EASY REMEDY FOR cAvE-1N.
Smooth Ruse by Which ProspectOr
Got Others to Do His Work.

Tom Pmckney, a prospector near
Joplin, employed a smooth ruse a
few Gays ago to get repaired damages
which had been done by a cave-in at
his mine. Pinckney had been doing
all the work in the mine himself.
After having labored patiently sever
al Gays. he thought he had struck a
rich vein of lead. He struck water
simultaneously, however, and while
he was exulting over his luck the
whole "~diggins cayed in.
"For an instant, relates the Jop-
lin News Herald. ~he stood on the
brink of the cage-in and looked blue.
There at the bottom of the pit was
ore enough to make him a rich man
and allhe had to DO to get it was 10 dig
out the loose dirt, put in a little crib
bling and install a pump. He wanted
to get the ore badly enough, but he
hated to go to the trouble OF removing
all the dirt again. Then a Solomonic
idea struck him and he straightway
acted on the impulse Of the moment.
Removing his coat and hat, he threw
them carelessly on the edge of the
pit, removed his red bandana hand
kerchief from around his neck, and,
after tossing it into the hole, he hid
himself behind a big bowlder several
feet distant and awaited develop
ments.
"Itwasn't long before a man passed
the scene Of the disaster. He espied
the coat, he noted with awe the fact
that there was a hat alongsideof the
coat, and when, upon gazing into the
hole, he saw the red handkerchief,
why, the stuff was off, fastening
too nearby plant, hespread the grew
some tidings. A mar had been bur
led in a caye-in. Men fro mevery di-
rection came focking to the scene
Of the horrible accident. Willing
arms made the dirt fly from the pit,
and in two hours thehole was cleaned
out.
GAS the last shovelful was turned
and the corpse had not been foundthe
crowd dispersed in disappointment
and half an hour later Mr.. Pinckney
cam forth from his hiding place and
wen. to work cribbing his shaft"
