One Of Edison's Jokes,

Edison was always great joke play
er. Those ones he seemed to enjoy
most were like the one he worked on
one of the LATEST operators In the Of
flee where he was once employed. One
night, when this fellow thought his
days work was over and was getting
ready to so home, Edison slipped
around to the Office switchboard, made
a connection with the lazy fellows
telegraph key, called him down to the
table and, supplied with an old news
paper, proceeded to send Mr. Lazy
long lot of presumably Associated
Press stuff from New York. Edison
was lightning sender Gas well as re-
ceiyeD from almost the beginning of
his career, and the way he made that
fellow work for two solid hours was q
joy. After wearing him completely
out making him receive and copy the
equivalent of about three or four
newspaper columns, Edison suddenly
Gang from behind the switchboard ex-
posed the joke to the poor fellow and
wound up by pelting him on the nose
with the newspaper he had been send
ing from.-Pearsons

In accordance with plans of the war
department, Surgeon General O'Reilly
has recently enlisted large number
of the most skilful and noted surgeons
and physicians in an army medical re-
serve corps. The physicians were
drawn from all over the country, a few
here and a few there, and were chosen
solely for their ability. In time OF
peace they will receive no compensa-
ton, although they may be called upon
for consultation or advice. In time Of
war they will receive the regular pay
of their rank, which will be lieutenant,
major, lieutenant colonel and colonel.
This, however, is no temptation to men
of such a class. Tey have allowed
themselves to be enlisted in the re-
serve corps solely as a matter of patri-
otto duty, and for the purpose of
strengthening and improving the army
