His Bluff Called.

The greatest buffer in the state Of
Minnesota, says Senator Nelson, was
an Indian up In the lumber regions.
who took great delight n walking up
to people and saying: ''Uh; me heap
big Injun. You scared o. mel" And
as he was an Indian Of considerable
stature, with face about as pleasant
as a gargoyles, nearly everybody ad-
mitted to him that he was indeed big
Indian and that they were sure enough
scared of him. This nearly tickled him
to death, and he kept up his habit Of
~itting his stock question to every
body who came along, until one day he
walked up to tall, raw boned lumber
jack, who had just come out Of the
woods after six months of log rolling.
Me heap big Injun," said the big bluff.
you scared O. mel" The lumberjack
replied by hitting the interrogation a
lick between the eyes that set him
spinning for moment like one Of
those new-fangled revolving barber
poles. That's how scared l am of
you," remarked the lumberjack, as he
lit off q fresh chew of tobacco, you
blamed bow-and-arrow sun-of-a-gun!"

ONE GREAT ENGLISH DOCTOR
About DIscoverer Of the cIrcuIa-
tIon Of the Blood.

II has been said that Shakespeare.
Newton. who discovered and proved
the attraction Of gravitation, and Har-
vey. the discoverer of the circulation
Of the blood, are the three greatest
Englishmen. DR.. 8. Weir Mitchell. In
a recently delivered lecture. presented
many new and interesting facts in the
life of Harvey, whose private life IL
almost as little known as that Of
Shakespeare. Harvey was born on
April I, 3S3 years ago. 1t was many
years after Harvey conceived the idea
Of the orderly circulation Of the blood
before he permitted his observations
to be printed. He lectured to his stu
dents on this subject as early as 1919,
but it was not until 1928 that his work
on the circulation OF the blood, q
quarto Of u pages. In Latin, was pub
lished at Frankfort. There were anti
vivisectionists In that day. and his ex-
periments, conducted on living dogs
and in day long preceding anaesthet-
les probably did not go unrebuked. He
was loyal to his royal master and pa
tient, Charles l.. and for that reason
did not escape the vindictiveness OF
the Cromwellians. They ransacked
his house and destroyed many of his
manuscripts that represented years Of
labor. Doctor Mitchell said that Har-
vey, while travelling In Italy, had for
gotten to bring with him a certificate
stating that he had not been in
plague-infested town. Failure to pro-
duce the certificate was the cause Of
his enforced quarantine for three
weeks. In an open field, on litter of
straw. One can picture the plight OF
the equity Englishman. the physician
Of kings and the ward of princes. .ap-
pealing in vain for release from a cruel
quarantine imposed by panic-strick-
en- community"
Doctor Mitchell read extracts from
Harvey's letters, written In Italy at
that time, which show that when thor
ougly angry Harvey wrote abominable
English, and that the pangs Of sciatica
were not conducive to that elegance
OF literary style which Harvey showed
on other occasions.

TOO MUCH OF A BATH
SWIMMERS UTTERLY UNABLE TO
APPRECIATE JOKE.
Tyson and Bolts, Kept in Water for
Hours by Two FOL Friends,
Emerged Thsrsfrom In Most
UnchrIstlanlIks Mood.

They take boarders out at DR.
Jones', and among them are Messrs.
Tyson and Bolts. two young men who
are engaged in business In the city.
One day In July. after supper, Ty-
sond and Bolts went down to the
creek to take a swim. As soon as they
left the house. two or three of the
other fellows limited that 1t would be
a good joke for two of them to dress
In women's clothes and 60 over and
scare Tyson and Bolts.
So several OF them borrowed some
skirts and hats and other female fix-
ings. and, after assuming them. start
ed toward the creek.
The two swimmers saw them COM
ing and began to paddle up stream to
get out Of their way. The female fig-
ures came nearer and took seats on
the bank of the stream. so close to the
clothes of the swimmers that there
was no chance at all for Tyson and
Bolts to sneak out and dress them
selves hurriedly. And the supposed
women sat there In the most aggrava-
ting manner. while Tyson and Bolts
stayed In the water shivering.
Presently they got up to go. the
swimmers thought; but. to the horror
OF the latter. they perceived the wom-
en- get into q boat and begin to paddle
up stream. They went very slowly,
and so Tyson and Bolts had time
enough to swim farther up. In order
to get out of the way.
The boat followed them up for about
mile, and then Tyson concluded to
do something to explain the situation
to the ladies'. He was beginning to
feel sick.
Accordingly he shouted at the top
of his voice, and Bolts shouted; but
those idiotic women still continued to
pull up stream. The swimmers were
almost crazy. and at last they made a
dash for the bank and hid behind the
bushes.
Then the women In the boat turned
round and began to row down the
stream. Bolts and Tyson got In the
water again and swan after the boat.

clothes. and, to the amazement Of the
swimmers, picked them up and began
to walk of with them. Then Tyson
and Bolts became excited and swan
In close to the shore to hulloa at the
women, and then the women began to
laugh, and the victims Of the Joke saw
Just how II was.
When they emerged from the water
they didn't Join In the merriment.
They seemed gloomy and sad. AS soon
az Bolts got his shirt on he went up
to Peters and shook his fist under his
nose and said:
You red-headed idiot. I've got a
notion to bang the liver out Of you!
Oh. you may laugh. but II you ever try
any Of your jokes on me again I'll
murder you! Now. you mind mel"
Tyson and Bolts will board else
where next summer.-New York

The Peasant's View.

One of Lord Desborough's best
anecdotes relates to a clergyman who
was far more at home in the hunting
field than in the pulpit, says Tit-Bits.
On the morning of meet he was
much annoyed at having to officiate
ut a funeral, but this over. he mount
ed his horse and started in pursuit of
his friends. On the road he sought
information of an .old woman with a
donkey cart.
WELL" she said, IF you ride to the
top Of the hill you will come to a
"meenister;" then. II you turn to the
right. you will be likely to come up
with them"
Handing her shilling. he said:
my good woman, why did you call
the signpost a minister"
why. you see. sir. It's like this:
we used to call 'em signposts. but
since you've been In these parts we
calls 'em meenisters. cos though
they points other folks the way. they
never goes themselves. Go on,

WAGES and Service In India.

Wages are not high In India. A ma

less. or about four rupees. or $1.0S a
