r FELT too mean to get up today-my
l. head was aching At to split. Mrs.
Samper insisted that see the doctor.
I had little breakfast in bed. after
which Mrs. Samper tidied up tho bed
room a bit, for said she; "Id hate to
have the doctor come in and see the
room all upset"
Isn't 1t funny how women think they
have to turn the bedroom Into a Kind
OF reception room for the doctor when
| ever he comes?
This doctor was quite young Lhap-
one of those business-like guys. You
know what mean! He felt my pulse,
/ thumped my chest, took my temperature
| and did few other stunts Of that kind
then looked very grave and said. Il
| think you ought to so to your home
| dare say he was a clever doctor. but
| wish | had old Doctor Briscoe. Old
! Doc Briscoe is no kid, but somehow
whenever he comes into the room you
always feel kinda glad to see him. This
young fellow was too darn business.like.

to see you're getting the right spirit. for.
! after all as have said before, success
in business cannot be measured by the

hapniness.' and happiness can only come
when you're worl;inp with people you
