DID you ever read such "a gloom as this
~ column to-day? However I'll cheer you
I'D. with little tale that came to my ears
apropos Of the grip.
Brother aged four was up stairs in bed.
He was annoyed at being in bed when he
felt all right; but you see he had tiny
bit of temperature after the grip and his
mother said he must stay In bed Down
stairs there was grown-up. who didn't
have the grip, but who had been sick for
a while and had the doctor in attendance.
Now the grown-up was friend Of the
doctors and naturally called him by his
first name and he remarked on his way
something about John Smith will find an
Improvement in me to-day, when he
comes" Brother said nothing, but later
remarked to his nurse When John Smith
comes to-day don't want to see him."
