The Man Who Lost His Job.

Well, sir I've lost that job, at
last. No more I'll stagger down
to beat the cold, gray dawn to
work and face the boss's frown;
some other chap will answer bells
and sweep the office floor and
punch the time-clock in the spot
where | shall punch no more,
Some other guy will do my work
and draw my skinny pay-Ive
lost my job, at last, my friend.
I'm getting through to-day.
What's that you say? Sur.
prised to see Pm not depressed
and sad? Why, friend, I'd like
to shout and sing, Pm feeling
so blamed glad. | thought I'd
never lose that job for two long
years I've tried, and all the time
| stuck right there as though my
feet were tied. I've done my
best-Pve sat up nights-Pve
hustled through the days; I've
schemed and shaved to shake that
job a dozen different ways.
Some fellows seem to do the trick
as easy as can be-their jobs
don't seem to stick to them the
way mine stuck to me. The way

Mr. McChesney. responding 10 the

 Dr. John sL. May testified to treat ing the plaintiff for pains in her mus eles and her neck. but stated that the patient had not shown much improve ment.
