He Raised Chickens

Some amusing incidents occur at the free dispensary of the different hos pftals in town, often because the poor patients fail to understand the terms used by the doctors. The following in- cident occurred at the university hos pital recently, and illustrates the point in question
 man came in whom the doctor thought was suffering from beginning pneumonia, so, after getting his name and address and other necessary data, he asked the patient if he had chill.
 'Yes, very bad chill yesterday" came the answer.
 Do you cough much? ?" asked the doc tor.
 ''Yes, some" replied the patient, with practical illustration.
 Do you raise anything?' was the next question.
 The man hesitated moment, then an- ewered, innocently: Well, only a few chickens. s."-Philadelphia Telegraph.

Exnerts ait noine Nothing.

Angus Hamilton in his new book on Korea, says: "The inhabitants are pe- culiarly proficient in sthe art of doing nothing gracefully. There is, therefore, infinite charm and variety in the daily life in Korea The natives take their pleasures passively, and their constitu- tional incapacity makes it appear as if there were little to do but to indulge in a gentle stroll in the brilliant sum- shine or to sit cross-legged within the shades of their houses. Inaction be- comes them: nothing could be more un- suited to the character of their peculiar costume than vigorous movement. The sto1id dignity of their appearance and their stately demeanor add vastly to the picturesqueness of the street scenes. The white-coated, white-trousered, white-soeked, slowly striding popula- ton is irresistibly fascinating to the - ast [

reminder of f'to-morrow-to-mo evening"" And the woman left behind, glad that Alice had retired early, so left her a fine chance to think quitely, found this not easy to do.
 Her mind ran back, uneasi1y, to the far days when she and Alice had been young girls, happy and thoughtless Then, suddenly, had come the loss ot parents, luxuries, everything to which they had been always accustomed, the necessity of doing battle with the outer world. She had faced this world rather than Alice, who had been very i'll that summer, and Alice, although neither would have so expressed the situation, had lost her liberty, her opportunity to shape life as she would have it, before ever this opportunity had been placed within her grasp.
 Stately. brilliant. commanding, au- dacious, afraid of nothing, she had re- covered partial health to find herself relegated by the more timid and retir- ing Laura's overmastering tenderness and solicitude, to niche she by no means fitted, from which she longed to escape. Gradually she became partially recon ciled to her position of housekeeper and homemaker for "the firm" as Laura merrily called their association, she had never allowed Laura to suspect that she, too, would have loved to enter the bread winning arena, to become happily self supporting.
 With the coming of success to Laura her Life had grown less physically ardu- ous She no longer performed the prac- tical work of housekeeping or darned stockings. But she had known no in creased happiness because of the un- < wonted ease and indulgence. And with the advent of the little fortune that had placed both beyond the need of financial restrictions or limitations, her occupa- tion had finally vanished. She was no longer necessary, even to Laura, who might now order gowns and furniture without thought of economy, whose time was now at her own disposal. Hence forth she devoted her efforts to philan- thropic endeavor and was very useful but no happier. And her thoughts, not unnaturally, turned back to Jim Benson now and then.
 He had been her first and only lover. Her first, because he had loved her from childhood, her only lover because she would allow no other. And Laura, as he had said, had quietly but potently kept them apart.
 Time, meanwhile, had done much for Jim Benson. The unfortunate relatives had disappeared from sight and cogniz- ance, he had successfully combated pow erty and misfortune. He had even won renown as a war hero. But none of these changes, while perfectly apparent to Laara's intellect, had touched her heart in the slightest.
 She, herself, had been long untouched by playful Cupid. Her whole soul and

you'll do it this evening" It's now or never, and 1t mustn't be the latter. Think of your foolish, cowardly waiting! Think of how it would seem to have some braver man secure her, and never know what might have happened if you'd plucked up courage to ask her first! As it is-who knows what she thinks of your waiting, even If she has caused 1t? And if she should say no-"
 But he utterly refused to consider a possibility so dire and dreadful. Life without the long held dream of some day having Laura Starrett for wife would be scarcely worth living. He felt that the question he had for three years lacked courage to ask in face of her de- termined opposition could be postponed no longer A groundless rumor in re- gard to her tacit encouragement of an other man had filled him with forebod- ings Yes, certainly, he must speak.
 Three ties, five collars, much time, and unlimited effort at last turned him out sufficiently neat and immaculate to seek her presence. Once in 1t, he was shy and embarrassed as she had never seen him. Her woman's intuition told her that the decisive moment so long postponed was close upon her. With the departure of her earlier callers her last hope of re- spite vanished. He took her hand as one who will not be gainsaid.
 Dear" he began, using almost the same words as had used Jim Benson an hour or two earlier in addressing Alice, Dear, I must have my answer-and 4o1~o 4,.sn Far u1.e to ask you to marry me, and you've never allowed it. Now feel that hearing is due me, and I--you must say yes, Laura. love you passionately, dearest, and I el-sometimes-that you-don't dis like me, although you do keep me at such distance Can't you make up your mind to be my wife, dear woman, and let me try to make you half as happy as you'd make me without any trying at alI?'
 Don't answer now," he urged her, as drawing her hand way, she would have spoken in unmistakable manner; "GGn't t say anything, dearest, until you've thought it all over. And don't believe there's any reason for no. If you like me, even 8 little, believe could teach you to love me, and believe, moreover, that we belong to each other, that we have no business apart"
 '.As to your sister" forestalling her unspoken thought and again using al- most the same words as Jim Benson, "to dream of sacrificing our happiness for her sake would be foolish and unneces- sary. I should be glad to have her share our home, always, so she would not miss your companionship. For the rest, she is fully occupied with her philanthropic work and charities, she has her own life to live. She does not really need you. dearest-and I dol"

VT HE two men, oddly enough, delivered
 each his ultimatum on the same evening.
 Alice" said Jim Ber&On, addressing Ehe woman h9 had loved silently for 15 ysars and over, T won't wait any longer for my answer, and won't take no. I'm coming to see you again to-morrow morning, and if you haven't told Miss LSure. that you're going to marry me, l :wilI.''
 Tt isn't as if you didn't love me" he continued, taking advantage of the sur prise and amazement that held her speechless. 'You do love me, dear. and you know it, and you know that know it; you know I've known it-humbly- for years. I've never dared say this be- fore, but you'd have let me ask you the question I've always longed to ask, and maybe said yes to it years ago if it hadn't been for your sister Laura. Now, it's worse than foolish for us to do with out CT wait for our happiness any long CT just because she objects to my person al appearance and family. I'm not hand some, admit, and I know don't show up we'll beside her friends and associates, but then-Im not asking her to marry me! And you'll forgive me all the short comings can't help, I know. You never did mind appearances as much as Miss Laura. I've the greategt possible respect for your sister, dear" as Alice flushed hotly and regarded, him with dawning indignation; "I think she's wonderful woman, and love her for the care she's tried to take of you. But she doesn't really need or desire to claim your entire life, Alice-and dol"
 It was the longest speech Jim Benson had ever made, and it left him breathleES. He looked at the woman before him &sq long moment of tense silence, as cha blushed and quivered girlishly, her wide eyes soft and alluring. Then, suddenly. he caught her close to him, and kissed her cheek.
 Then, with murmured reminder ot Tomorrow morning" he was gone.
 Well. you miserable idiot!" he apostrophized himself on the way back to his hotel, there's hard job over. Talk of wars and battlesi San Juan was nothing to it. I'd rather face 8 whole army of FilIpinos than do that again. Bat-after tomorrow morning"
