Nearly Hopeless.

A doctor came up TO a patient In
an insane asylum, slapped him on
the back, and said: "Well, old man,
you're all right. You can run along
and write your folks that you'll be
back home in two weeks as good as
new"
The patient went off gaily to write
his letter. He had 1t finished and
sealed, but when he was licking the
stamp It slipped through his fingers
TO the floor, lighted on the back OF a
cockroach that was passing, and
stuck. The patient hsdn't seen the
cockroach-what he did see was his
escaped postage stamp ziazagging
aimlessly across the floor to the
Dashboard, wavering up over the
Dashboard, and following crooked
track up the wall and across the
ceiling. In depressed silence he tore
ny the letter he had just written and
dropped the pieces on the floor.

A Skeleton In the Closet.

The clever wife of rising young
physician, who had been much pes

agents and canvassers, recently took
an unusual but efficient method TO nd
herself Of an especially intrusive and
persistent specimen.
Her husband was out, and she had

she went to the door, pushed by her
into the room and declined to leave
when she ordered him TO do 30, and
with manner at once cringing and

with one hair-raising yell, dropped
his basket and Hed. At the same
moment the doctor, who had returned

and joined With gusto in his wife's
triumphant mirth. But a. their
laughter abated, they realized that the
discounted mans wares must be re-
stored. He could be seen lingering
uneasily outside, and the doctor, who
was a tall, lean, keen.fsoed young
man, threw a long coat loosely over
bis shoulders, picked up the basket
and stepped out. Twilight was fall

its tapping garment appeared and
beckoned, second yell rent the Air,

friends, for no more pedlers have
troubled the house.
