SEES HE TAKES HIS MEDICINE
No Chance for Man to Escape When
a Woman Is Responsible for Ad-
ministering the Dose.

Ed Howe, the famous Kansas funny
the American Magazine in which he
says:
when a woman has charge Of
sick man she feels as important as the
marshal of the day at a country Fourth
Of July celebration, and, however amia.
BILE she may be at other times, she Is
very bossy when she has medicine to
give a man, or lotions to put on him:
If he wants a drink OF water, she ex'
presses the opinion that he Is drink
ing too much, and remembers that her
Aunt Harriet's husband once drank
great deal when he was sick, and had
commissions If the sick man becomes
impatient, and says the medicine is
doing no good. she reminds him curtly
that time is necessary; she has even
been known to dip into the classics
and say that Rome was not built In
day. The air Of wisdom with which
she examines the doctor books con-
vinces the sick man that, however in
telligent his medical adviser may have
been, after his recovery he will be in.
formed that he would have been sick
much longer had she not used her
homemade lotions. Whatever she does
at night. the doctor will agree in the
morning that it was very good.
"The sleepiest woman in the world
will stay up all night cheerfully IL she
can get a chance to doctor somebody,
and if a man has medicine to take at
an unusual hour he will get it, II there
is a woman around"

An llely Weapon.

When boxers aud fighters came to-
gether in the cd days of Greece they
wore upon their hands the cestus.
which was in itself Il terrible adjunct
to any fighter. But there was some
times attached to the cestus deadlier
weapon. consisting of II three prongcd
fork of bronze. known as the myrinex.
Classical literature has frequent ref
erences to the myrmex. which * de-
scribed as the deadllest weapon Of the
ancient Dugilist. The right hand was
swathed in tough hide. bound In place
with thongs and supplemented by
small knobs of lead or iron. This was
the cestus. to which was affixed the
myrmeX. Combats in those days were
much more brutal and dangerous than
those of the modern prize ring. 1t il
easily seen that single blow of the
myrmex might cause death or J'erina-
nent injury.
