A Mistaken Diagu0sia.

A Cincinnati doctor who thinks that
all the ills of the human race can be
traced to the drinking of coffee and
tea, entered restaurant recently and
seated himself opposite an Irishman
who was busying himself trying to
dispose of steaming cup of coffee.
"How often do you use coffee?"
queried the doctor.
II drink it morning, noon and
night, sir"
"Don't you experience slight dr.
ziness of the brain on retiring at
night?"
"Indeed do, sir, very frequently. !"
"You have a sharp pain through
the temples and in and around the
eyes,"
fright you are," replied the Irish
man.
"You are possessed with a drowsi-
ness when you awake in the morning,
and your head often aches and feels
very heavy"
Right again." answered the Irish
man, still slipping his coffee.

sitting erect in his chair, "aren't you
now convinced that the coffee is the
cause?'

responded to throughout the program.

A Mad Dog?

Marshal Cravens on Saturday
afternoon shot a dog which was sup
posed to be mad in the vicinity of
Chester Persons residence. The
animal was running in circle, chew
ing fence rails and cutting up a num-
Der of queer capers which scared wo-
men half to death and caused cats to
make for tree tops. Even if the dog
was not mad the marshal did the
right thing in piercing its brain with
winchester bullet. The dog was one
of those poor unfortunate fellows
known as tramp.
