The oootor's saby.


He was doctor, and not such a
young doctor either. That is to say,
he had been practising for nearly ten
years. An interesting event happened
in his family and he found himself
the father of a very fine girl, his first
born.
A patient who happened in about
three days after the event didn't have
great deal OF chance to talk about
his particular ailments because the
father was very eager to tell all about
the child
"I've helped to bring a lot of chill
dren into the world" said the doctor,
"and | know lot about them; but
| want to tell you that this Is about
the finest I've ever seen, Now that
may seem TO you merely TO be the

know it's So" He went on telling
about the merits Of his offspring, how

embraced all the perfections.

AutomatIo Hlred Man.

1.-THE Automatic Hired Man" is the
name OF an interesting mechanical ap-
parRtus designed by Julius Litter to
take the place Of the ordinary farm
helper. II is said that the machine can
be installed for $500. and It will do the
work OF two men.
There are many good points to the
automatic hired man. II will not
smoke a pipe in the barn or chew To-
bacco behind the kitchen stove. It will
not tell wicked stories TO the farmers
sons or tell of the strange things to
be seen in the city. Il will not take
out tho best horse TO give its lRdys
friend a ride.
During the summer the automatic
hired man will work in the sun as
we'll as in the shade. and In the winter
It does not lay Off because OF the mis-
cry in the back II can even be made

which is something that no human
chore man thinks NJ doing.
II the machines work as we'll as the
designer says they will, a company

Many of the donkeys were hne

How Mastodons Died.

Vladimir F'edoreff, OF St Petersburg,

frozen in, masses of ice or bur led in
the mud of Siberian rivers and

country abounds In extensive boys,
which are called urmans. In these are
found the tusks of the mastodon. from
which it is inferred these animals lost
their lives venturing upon surface
that would not bear their weight.
Even to wild animals these urmans
are forbidden ground The nimble

There are a couple of second basemen

and Smith of Buffalo. There are two
third sackers playing managers, Vol

outfield when he plays, but goes in

Mccain OF Jersey CITY is the only

pitcher owner of the Newark club,
will conduct himself and whether he
will lake orders from Wolverton. He
might have to be reckoned with as
