THE DOCTOR
BY FREDERICK HALL

doctor had brought him were not worth
fixing, but insisted upon making charge of
fifty cents just the same. what for?" de-
manded the justly indignant customer
3Well," returned the cobbler, 3you charged
me five dollars the other day for telling me
there was nothing the matter with me-
Still more malignant is the insinuation in
the reply called forth by the physician at
tending a colored man who had just dis
Brown take your temperature?" he asked.
@No, Suh," answered the patient with evil
dent reluctance, @no, sub, 1 ain missed
muffin but nah watch"
Then there is Lies collection of favorite
slang phrases that gives the dentists as 4You
have a nerve" the dyspeptic's as @That's
rich, :" and the doctors as Dead easy"
Positively vindictive is the post mortem
joke of the Italian nobleman who directed
that the inscription upon his tombstone
should read, II was we'll; wanted to be bet
ter; took physic and died." But that class
of jokes are venerable, most of them having
first seen the light in Moliere's doctor in
Spite of Himself" and 3The Imagined In
valid"
Modern medicine is, to be sure, not what
it was in Moliere's time, as is sufficiently IL
lustrated by another story, the parentage of
which is claimed for DR.. c. Ward Champion
of New York. A thin, nervous woman, who
could not sleep, went to her physician, and
was hidden to take a glass of milk and a
couple of crackers the last thing before
going to bed. @But, Doctor" she exclaimed,
"the last time called you told me on no
account to eat anything before retiring!"
@Pooh, pooh, Madam" returned the doctor.
"That was three months ago. Science has
made prodigious strides since then"
In defense of the verbal assaulters of at
tending physicians it should in justice be
said that the victim himself has often seemed
to give provocation. When, for instance, he
remarks, 3Your legs are swollen; but that
doesn't trouble me, what more natural than
that an irascible patient should burst out?-
@Of course it doesn't! And let me tell you,

~ so many filings at the doctors. That I'M
derstands itself, as the Germans say. Natu-
rally, in free country we resent, even while
we submit to-, the authority of profession so
potent that, in the words of Rudyard Kipling,
it can @hoist yellow flag over center of
civilization and turn it into desert, and hoist
red flag in the desert and turn it into
center of civilization" Besides, some of the
Jokes were evidently first perpetrated in utter
innocence, and only the @evilly disposed"
saw anything sinister about them.
Nothing, for instance, could have been
more natural than the small boys answer
to the question concerning his brothers
health, mo, Ma am, he amt well yet; but
he's out of danger-the doctors stopped
coming"-or the reply Of the small boy to his
physician, father, mo, Papa, l won't be

Then there was the woman who said to
the specialist, Il was suffering SO much,
Doctor, that l wanted to die" There could
surely have been no hidden, ghoulish mean
ing in his reply, MADAM, you were quite
right to call me in"
One can with difficulty see more than
harmless pleasantly in the suggestion of a
patient that Dental Parlor was hardly an
appropriate name: Drdwing Room would be
much better.
But by the time we come to the man who
was asked if the doctor had done him good
and hesitatingly replied, @Well-I've been
done BETTER" malice has crept in and we
shortly reach such heartless gibes as that of
the young college cub who, with his hand
just put to rights after football game, in
quired anxiously, doctor, when this paw
of mine heals, shall 1 be able to play the
piano9" and, on assurance that he would,
exclaimed, Gee, Doc you're wonder! l

There is whole cycle of Jokes about the
operation that must be performed at once,
lest the patient get we'll without it, and an
shoemaker who declared that the boots the

Yea, beds for all who come.
"Ah, mel" he said, "I've got deal of
heartening out of that, and then, some day
when things don't seem to go just right,
sing that song of hers:
When am dead, my dearest.
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head.
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me,
With showers and dew-drops wet.
And if thou wilt remember,

THE train had long since started on to-
ward our destination, the old fellow dis
coursing gloriously as we ran along, utterly
unconscious of everything save the marve
lous contrasts of that picture "a seemingly
wretched vagabond, held in the grip of
relentless poverty, pouring forth out OF the
depths of a rich mind as rare spiritual dis

advantage of me. You know who l am;
but 1 don't know who you are. Won't you

The old fellows eyes filled with tears.
He laid his hand gently on my shoulder.
3My young friend, he said, his voice grow
ing hoarse, and husky again, 3aUho l am is
one of the least important things on the face
of Gods beautiful green earth. What is
really important is the kind of man l am.
am one of those untortunates soho started in
life at the top Of the ladder and n'ooed in the
only direction left open to them."
He seized my hand, gave it a soft, SEEM
ingly :affectionate pressure, and walked
away, leaving ME standing alone, and have
not seen nor heard from him since.

him Just then. But if he would call that
evening at the Mayors house, the office
boy explained, his Honor would condescend
to talk matters over with him.
After an interminable wait the evening
somehow contrived to arrive. A drenching
rain descended to relieve the thirsty city,

Mayor Saybrook was at home. The servant
who took his hat, raincoat, and cane dis
appeared down the depths of a wainscoted
hall.
A few seconds later he was ushered into
a brightly lighted room, and found himself
advancing toward his former chief across a
rug that made no sound under his heel.
The Mayor was standing by a bookcase,
smoking a long, thin cigar.
Good evening, Mr.. Burwell," he said.

right sort of young man to marry my daugh-

Burwell was stunned. He tried to speak,

two unlike things, miles apart in principle.
Politics is a game you have to play with
