DR.. DOugal of Keith, who was made
an honorary member of the Aberdeen
society in 1895, had a reputation for
bluntness. A laxative woman went
to him one day and said to him:
Doctor, what is the matter with my
tongue?" "Just needin' rest" be

patient went to him and complained:

BE q Booster.

The man who says nothing about
another unless he can say somsthiRg
good is much more likely to be good
citizen and a good friend than the
man who feels it is part of his job to
keep telling tales out of school or crit
icising other men. The world is SO
small that he cannot tell when his
words will come home to roost. Some
times they come home when home is
not prepared to receive them.

Sleeping children. Once Sarah Ann
Johnson moaned restlessly and Willie
Madden started in terror, white and
choking He thought it was the kid
crying, and his heart nearly stopped
beating from fright and uncertainty.
Then he steeled himself, and bracing
his crutch against the bed he stood
erect and said defantly:
well, if it's a reform school they'll
have to send the kid, for he amt got
nobody to look out for him but me!
Say, how would you feel TO know
that your kid was hungry when you
was just stuffed with good things?
You couldn't eat much yourself, could
you? 1t 'u'd kinda choke you, wouldn't
it? Well, that's the way l feel every
time take bite, for l know the kid
is half starved because I'm not there
to look after him.
The nurse moved little nearer to
Willie Madden, but she remained 81
lent He almost hated her, she
seemed so cold and hard and relent-
less. He was glad that he wasn't her
hers Well, nothing mattered much
now unless they would let him go
with the kid.
There was sound of steps out in the
corridor There was more than one
person, and the boy braced himself
again to meet the shock. Probably it
was a policeman, maybe two of them,
but where was the kid all this time?
The room spun around for second,
and Willie Madden was obliged to
cling to the little white bed for sup
port. He had never felt this way be-
| fore. SOmeway he had always been
able to laugh at any situation, espe-
cially if it only affected him, but this
| was different, for now the kid was in
volved, his little kid who depended
upon him for ANY emergency, and
whom he had never failed.
A few seconds later the doctor
came in, pushing before him a small,
badly frightened boy, who displayed
much resistance and who still held in
his hand a piece of bread and butter.
The doctor felt around in his coat
pocket, and pulled out with d1mculty
a similar piece.
Here he said gravely, presenting
it. "You were leaving this behind"
| Willie Madden was puzzled. He
slid from the nurses restraining hand
and hobbled over to the disconsolate
newcomer.
Don't you be scared" he said i'm
| pressively. "You amt done nothin'!"
"The order book, please" said the
| doctor soberly. He wrote for a mo-
ment, then passed it to the nurse, who
read it aloud to the astonished boys.
New patient, otherwise the Kid.
Bath and bed, with liberal diet. The
Brothers Madden will go to the Fresh
Air Home tomorrow"
Willie Madden drew breath of re-
lief then turned away. He tiptapped
over to the bed next his, where lay
the boy who had helped to undress
him. and wakened him ruthlessly.
Here he said, you crawl into the
he'd over there next to Sarah Ann.

Good nature is more agreeable IN
