1t was late, the doctors patients had
either passed away or were mending,
and he was sitting with number of
his acquaintance in a corner Of the
club room.
Its a strenuous life we lead"
droned the man Of medicine, with the
grim side turned uppermost as a rule,
but now and then we get laugh out
of tia laugh with the lid on, of
course; we can't afford to show we're
amused. often WONDER he went on
genially, "why some of you chaps ever
send for a physician. You don't tell
him the truth once in twenty times.
You're in bad way and you're sorry,
and to hear you talk I'd think your
mouths were cold storage boxes for
butter. You suspect that lobster or
rich sauce you ate day before yester-
day is at the bottom Of the trouble.
You know what's curled you up, and
you're frightened out Of years
growth for fear I'll learn.
Accordingly, instead of taking me
into your. confidence, you tell me an
impossible story. And if cross ex-
anime you closely and hedge you in
you'll reluctantly admit that you've
been somewhat indiscreet. You smoked
four cigars Thursday and took six
drinks. Doesn't it ever occur to you
that know by your futters that you
! smoked from breakfast to bed and
took sixteen drinks and six more for
good measure?
IF were to believe you and dose
you for your ailments as you describe
them you'd never get well. Now and
then have to give you strychnine and
nitroglycerin to restore the action Of
the heart, and to listen to you might
conclude that you'd had too much pink
ice at a children's party.
"As limited, we doctors get some
fun out of it, but what do you do it
for? We were not always doctors, we
haven't always taken the best care of
ourselves, and we're not fools."-

I'm not so particular about speed,

peated Mr.. Green. my wife wants
to drive, you see. Will you warrant
this horse to be safe?'
Certainly" said the dealer reassur-
ingly. "He's a regular lady's horse"
"You are sure he's not afraid of any
thing?" asked Mr.. Green anxiously
and for the tenth time.
The dealer assumed an air Of reflec-
ton.
"Well, there is one thing that he has
always appeared to be afraid Of ever
since got him." he admitted con-
scientiously. 1T seems as if he's
scared to death for fear some one

on the wind. The frigate, it was no
ticed, was several miles ahead in the
van. The other ships were carelessly
strung out in long line, probably not
suspecting the existence of any posi-
bic enemy in those waters. The sloop
of war appeared to be among the rear
ships, While the nearest vessel to the
Ranger was large schooner whose
superior sailing qualities had permit
ted her to reach several miles to wind

appeared to be light in ballast also.
All of the convoy showed lights. The
Ranger, on the contrary, was as dark
as the night not even the battle Ian

hauled the schooner, and almost be-
fore her careless people We're aware Of

In few moments the splash Of oars
was heard, and small boat drew out
of the darkness to the starboard gang
way Of the Ranger. A man stood up
in the stern sheets and, Selling the
man ropes thrown to him, climbed up
on the deck.
"Ah, Sir james, he commenced, TAX
ing off his hat. GLOW do you do?
How dark you are! Why, what's all
this?" he exclaimed in surprise and
terror as he made out the strange uni
forms in the dim light. He hesitated
a moment and then stepped back hasti-
ly to the gangway, lifting his hand.
"Seize himv' cried a stern voice.
'Shoot him if he makes a soundv'
The captain of the unlucky schooner
was soon dragged, struggling and as
tonished, to the break of the poop.

'Silence, sir! This is the American

The whole stern of the Juno was beat

Ancient Bridge Superstition.

A primitive notion existed among the
Romans and other races that a bridge
was an offense and injury to the river
god. as it saved people from being
drowned while fording or swimming
across and robbed the deity of a certain
number of victims which were his due.
For many centuries in Rome propit1a-
tory offerings Of human victims were
made every year to the Tiber. Men
and women were drowned by being
bound and flung from the wooden Sub
lician bridge, which, till nearly the end
of the republican period, was the one
and only bridge across the Tiber in
Rome.

A reported movement against the hat
pin as an implement Of use and beauty
for the ladies is not likely to have much
effect. It has been said that physicians
do not approve the hatpin because it
helps to produce headaches. This OBJ
lection carries no weight. The use Of
the hatpin in process Of adjustment is
one of the very best means of concen-
tratfng attention on well turned head
and bewitching hair, not to mention the
hat.
