Shortly after the afghan had ap-
peared that fall, sickness broke out
almost everywhere; the doctors were
all extra busy, and so of course
were Potiphar and Joseph, and they
felt the strain. People began to
say that Joe slept as he travelled
which, of course, was slander, but
at all events this is what happened
to them one night, and won for
them the fame of this story.
First let me say, that no horse in

Tonight he stood still and the doctor
was amazed 10 find old Joe fast
asleep. He spoke gently to him and
the old horse, with a cough, put all
four feet to the ground and started
stifiy off, while his companion,
promising him a comforting hot
mash when they got home, himself
fell asleep while speaking. The reins
sagged loosely down; there was no
guidance from the Doctors hand. Joe
was very, very sleepy-but. then,

the road to the house of the next

One OF the strongest symptoms of
advancing age in the partners was
the need of extra sleep. They nap
ped frequently, but both never slept
at the same time If it was a common
thing to meet the doctor, driving in
his buggy, bolt upright and sound
asleep, old Joseph courteously draw

a coming team, it was just as COM

Autumn, sharp and cool, came
very early that year. Strangers re-
cogn;zed the season by the coloring
leaf, the chill in the air, the misty
morn and eventide; but the vii
layers vowed they knew another
sign of approaching fall, surer, more
reliable than even thA aInoaDac,s

forth of DR.. Potiphar's afghan.

down the river, some distance below
my house Patiently the old part
ner scrambled into harness and jig
logged down the hilly roads, and in
due time arrived on the scene of
action for the doctor, while old Joe,
having selected a foot to set up on
edge, fell asleep.
Inside there was much hurrying
to and fro and making of mustard
poultices and filling of hot water
bags, and at last relief came to the
doubled-up patient and quiet to his
disturbed household. When the doc

found the darkness intense, but
scrambled into his buggy safely

under the old pine tree. The doc

and slept-the horse selected another
foot, set it up to rest. and slept The
wind rose; it blew cold and raw.
The thunder began to rumble again
the convent clock doomed out the
hour, but the weary partners slept

horse, sheltered as yet under the
dense pine, felt nothing and slept.
At last a zigzag of lightning bay

roar of thunder shook the earth
Laura was afraid of thunder.) In

hand and said: Don't be fright

wet edge of the buggy-he was ut

Joe remembered the route of the
doctor; and it was always more or
less difficult to convince him of the
recovery of a patient, and he would
for long time make persistent ef-

sickness had been once, and to his

1t will be interesting to see what

gress will pick out to serve as bum

bill granting Statehood to Oklahoma
and New Mexico has served this pur-
pose for years. 1t has always been
one of the first measures introduced
and has, almost without exception
been one of the first measures to be
reported to the House and Senate from

country was clamoring for consider a
ton of some important matter. The
cost of printing the public speeches

probably look to the steering commit
tee to select new bumper.
