An Untold Story.

An Untold Story.
There was n occasion when Chaun.
cey Depew's mirthmaking abilities re-
ce1ved a severe jolt
Feeling the need Of upbuilding him
self physically, he went to a country
sanitarium which made a business of
hardening muscles and perfecting the
digestion. In the routine work of the
institution there was a morning half
hour devoted to pushing up into the
air a pair of dumbbells, and with this
as with every other feature of the
training the rule was absolute obedi,
ence. Moreover. the superintendent of
the place was a severe doctor.
The first morning after Depew's ar.
rival he had the dumbbells thrust into
his hands. During the first few min.
utes he pushed them into the ether
and pulled them down again with
great haste, but in a little while the
senatorial muscles began to grow
weary. The new member Of the class,
looking round at his companions, took
heart and stuck to the work. At last
he could stand 1t no longer.
He let his hands drop to his sides
and laughed infectiously. Doctor" he
ha-haed, this reminds me Of a storyr'
"Mr. Depew." said the trainer rough.
". "either keep on pushing those
dumbbells or leave the place"
And Mr.. DeIew pushed. grimly and
without mirth.
