This story was told OF recent
mee,lng OF medical society in this
city, according to the New York
Mail and Express.
A physician prac,icing in one of
the smaller cities up the State was
aroused at midnight by an inebrl-
a,ed individual who insisted that
the man Of medicine accompany

miles back i'll the country.
''Ser'ous case, Doc" said the
caller. "Mush come 'mejetly.'
The physician protested that his
man was absent and there was no
man OH the premises who was able
to hitch up the horse.
9 Sail right" said the insistent
one. "I'll hich m in shiffy. show
meem.''
You understand, Of course, =
warned tue Doctor. ''that while my
charge for a call IN that district is a
dollar in the daytime, III have to
charge you two dollars for going
out there At this time of the night. "
For answer the callel placed a
two-dollai bill in the Doctors hand.
They went out to the barn, the
stranger hooked the horse up in no
time at all and they set out for the
back country at a good pace. Ar
rived there, Sawbones asked to see
the patieut. The inebriated one
tumbled out of the buggy and lceIed
at the other as he said:
