Gauging The Tea.

A belatcd society tale goes back
ward to the season when Harry Lchr
was counting the lady who is now
his wife, says the New York Times.
One day Mrs. Dahlgrcn accident
ally dropped a ten-dollar bill into a
team urn which had just undergone
inspection III anticipation of coming
guests. When these guests arrived
Mr.. I.cFr was among them. The
hostess had forgotten her bank note
in the urn, and innoccntly brewcd
her tea. All noted the peculiar fla
vor, but drank it bravcly. The cause
Of their secret mystihcation might
have gone politely undiscovered had
not the hostess proceeded to give a
lecture on the subject Of brewing
tea. She removed the lid Of the urn
to illustrate her point and revealed
not tea leaves, but ten dollar bill
She was appalled,. The urn and all
the cups were sent away. She made
profusc apologies and insisted upon
serving each of her visitors with a
fresh cup when the new supply ap-
pcarcd. When it came the turn OF
Mr.. Lchr she asked:
How will you have it? Strong?"
Not quite SO strong as the last"
replied Mr.. Lehr. MAKE it $o75,

A WHISTLER PICTURE,
Ihe Dramatic Manner OF Xts F6RasA

Whistler was one day visited by a

with whom Whistler had not as yet

uine cordiality, and. artist like, he ran
Eound the studio looking at everything
One small picture seemed to charm him
especially. and he said, "Now that Is

visitor. "Why. it is the most carefully

long and slender handle. mixed little
apeck of paint on his palette. dipped
the tip Of his brush into it. and then
standing off from his picture and with
the action OF Il fGnccr with his rapier,
he lunged forward and touched the
picture in one spot with his pigment
"Now it's finished" said he. "Now you
may look at it," This was all highly
dramatic. and indeed very well acted
but, as in tho case of some stage plays
the final act Of Whistler's performance
proved to be all antiClinlaX. The for
eign artist took his leave, but, finding
that he had left his umbrella behind
him, called for it next day. The serv-
ant, recognizing him, told him that Mr..
Whistler had gone out for the day. but
invited him to go to the studio and
seek his umbrella. He went there and
found 1t. but also took the opportunity
Of having one more look at the picture
which had been "finished" for his spe-
cial benefit the day before, and then
he saw that the little dab Of wet paint
which Whistler had so dramatically
put on he had afterward scrupulously
wiped OF again!-Frederick Keppel In

Everybody respects the medical pro-

tie out Of sorts. It's members are en-
gagged in a great and noble work, and
though we never heard of doctor dy-
ing in the poorhouse they often do
services that no amount OF money can
pay them for. To be sure, when they
make a mistake it is promptly buried
except in the memory of the friends
and relatives-and when they do won-
derful things to relieve and save the
patched up bodies that suffer from the
folly Of their owners. 1t is regarded as
a matter of course. But the American
Medical association expects all doctors
to be little tin gods. according to the
rules decreed in annual convention as
sembled. 1t is prescribed that physi-
clans must be temperate in all things:
must not resort to public advertise
ment or private cards promising radi-
cal cures; must not publish cases or
operations in the daily print or suffer
such publications to be made; must
not invite laymen to operations, and
must not boast of cures and remedies.
