WALKED FAR ZOE NOTHING.
In Reverie, Doctor Forgot He Was Not

Many years ago DR.. Blank, of
Northampton, Mass, was noted
among his professional brethren for
his power of concentration. When
once he bent his mind to a problem
he became totally obliyious of his
Surroundings.
The doctor had a horse hat would

or a covered wagon, thereby endan-

that of a chance passer. After inef-
fectual attempts to break the horse
Of this habit, the doctor would go
out of his way to avoid meeting a
vehicle.
Early one morning ne received a
message that one of his patients in
Florence was worse. Without wait
ing for his carriage he started to
walk, the distance beng over a mile.
His mind became at once absorbed in
the case, but not so much so, that he
did not remember that the course Of
the Florence stage lay right in his
path. He looked at his watch and
saw that he would be sure to meet il

A NEAR.FAsLE.

There was once a gay young sport
who believed in having a good time.
The trouble was his idea Of a good
time was not exactly up to the prop
er standard Of morals, ethics and .
lot of other things. When chided by
relatives, warned by physicians and
derided by others, he merely laughed
go6d-naturedly and said: "Ies
never too late to mend" At 80 he
became gray, at So he had paresis.
Moral-It may never be too late
to mend, but it is frequently too lats
to r%ecuperate.

went into operation at daylight at oil
the ports of France. The naval re-
serves comprise almost the entire

war feet Practically the entire per-
sonnel of the merchant marine as well!
as the longshoremen ore inscribed in

committee of the National Seamen's
union ordered the strike because the
members of the union regard the gov

from s4O.S0 to s7250 In the case OF
seamen and from s156 to $500 In the
case Of captains as being inadequate.
