In a country like ours. where A
barber may call himself professor
and chiropodist be referred to as
doctor" the possession of a uni
versity degree is not an unmixed de-
light. There is one Washington
author of more than local celebrity,
who received his degree of doctor of
letters-I think that's what you call
it-from one of the large universities
a year or two ago. Earlier in the
summer he went to spend a season of
recreation and rest up in New York
state. The people at the clubhouse
where he stayed called him doctor"
and the use of his title became gen.
eral. One afternoon the son of a
prosperous farmer of the neighbor-
hood drove up to the clubhouse ana
asked for the doctor. His mother, he
said. would be very glad to see the
gentleman that afternoon. The
author was charmed with the in
vltatlon to call. He saw an op-
ortunity of studying farm life from
the inside. He made note of the
fact that farming folk are unexpected.

out ON his visit. He found his hostess
in bed, and before he could get in a

I'm awfully sorry said the author
when she paused for breath. ''but I'm
afraid you have sent for me under a
misrepresentation"
Amt you doctor?" asked the
lady.

gentleman. I'm doctor, but not
doctor of medicine"

AFTER MATH.

When | am old AMI very tired
A presence near the chimney-place
With folded hands and quiet face,
Loving no more, no more desired,
God grant one memory to me
Snail, ghost-like, waver through the
gloom,
And silent in a silent room
Come near to bear me company
And those who pass perchance shall
smile
With wondering eyes upon me bent.
How still she sits, in what content,
Who fingers yet little while"
They shall not guess, those over.wise,
How through the calm content OF
me
The face of that mad memory
Leans close and smiles within my
eyes,
Until feel in very truth
The girlheart thrilling in my breast,
What time upon my own are press
ed
The passionate, warm lips of Youth.
And they shall pity who but see
Dead ashes where the flames were
bold,
A woman sad and very old
Who sits in silence patiently.
