AN EXPLANATION.

A Buffalo man recently consulted a
youthful physician in that city and
when the diagnosis had been made and
the prescription written out he asked
what fee was expected.
Three dollars" said the young
medico,
Whereupon the caller produced $40
gold piece, which he proffered the doc
tor in payment of his fees.
The physician looked annoyed.
Haven't you anything smaller" he
asked, plaintively.
Nothing smaller, except a so BILL"
said the patient.

! Tales Worth Telling
SLIGHT ERROR.

A young husband in Germantown is
the proud father of twins. The babies
had been i'll for some time and he was
greatly worried about them, and one
day he met the family doctor and ask
ed his advice The physician told the
young father to get a goat and feed
the babies goat milk six times a day.
That evening he called up a friend at
the stock yards and gave him this or
der:
Send a goat to my house, l want it
for my boys"
The goat was delivered in few
,.ours. When the father went home
he met his wife with a kiss, to hear
that the babies were no better.
But they will be all right soon,
he assured her. Did the goat come?
Yes" said the wife, but l sent Il
right back, as it was the wrong kline

PHTLosoPHY OF A DyspEpT1C

PHILOSOPHY OF A DYSPEPTIC.
It's all right to take the world as
you find it, but leave a little for the
rest of us.
Fools and rascals are merely people
who are found out
Silence causes a lot less trouble
than talk.
Life is naturally a burden to the wo
man who doesn't carry her age well
Most of us are born rulers. At any
rate, We. are born babies.
When man has an evil mind, air
ing his views doesn't make them any
sweeteT.
Lots Of men are forgotten long be
fore they are dead.
Tell two girls they look alike ant
they will both hate you.
Whether a girl is vivacious or mere
ly silly depends upon whether you
like her or not.
A linguist is frequently a person
who can bore you in more languages
than one.
The fellow who hides his light IN
der a bushel at any rate isn't apt t,
have it blown out.
It is doubtful If even the peopl
who don't live in glass houses shout,
throw stones.

MISPLACED SYMPATHY.

Mr. Blank last year was motoring
through a remote region of Ireland,
and one day he came upon a poor old
woman, seated, with all her humble
furniture about her, in the middle oil
the road before her little cabin.
Mr.. Blank was profoundly moved
Here, before his very eyes, an evic-
ton, a real Irish eviction, was taking
place. He got out Of his car and gave
the old woman a five-pound note.
Tell me-" he said, what is the
trouble, my poor friend?"
Bobbing and courtesying her graft
tude, the old woman replied "Shure
sir, me. ould mans whitewashin'."

EPITAPH USED BY TWAIN.

Mistaken reference is so often made
to what is termed the "epitaph writ
ten by Mark Twain for his wife" that
it is worth while to set the matter
straight 3D..
The epitaph referred to was not
placed upon the tombstone of Mr.. Gle
mems wife, but upon that of his
daughter Susie. 1t was not original
with Mark Twain, but was taken by
him from a little poem written some
fifteen years ago by an Australian poet
named Robert Richardson. 1t appear
ed in a book of poems by Richardson,
which was published in Edinburgh, In
1898, under the title of Willow and
Wattles,,,
The verse used as the epitaph is as
follows:, ....
aa'tWarm summer sun,
.a,n, Shine kindly here,
sti Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
-r.~ Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
$751; Good night, good night"
The. verse has so often been referred
to as being Mark Twains own COM
position that he has recently had the
name of the actual author of it carved
upon the stone.
