" It will soon cure the cough too," writes Mrs. S.

An Edinburgh doctor was something of a veutriloquist, and it befel that 'e wanted a boy to assist in the surgery, who must necessarily be of strong nerve. He re- ceived several applications and, hen telling a lad what the duties were, in or er to test his nerves, he would say, while Pointing to a grinning ekeloton standing upright in a corner: "Part 'of your work Would be to feed the skeleton there, and, while you are here, you might as well have a ;try to do so." A few lads wbuld consent to a trial, and receive a basin of hot gruel and a spoon. While they were pouring the hal mass into the skull the doctor would make his voice appear to proceed trom the jaws qf the bony' customer, and gurgle out 'Grner-gr-h•uh, that's hot !" This was too Much, and, w•thout exception, he lads drhpped the basin and bolted. The doetorl began to despair of ever getting a suitable helpmate, until a small boy come, and wa i given the gruel and spoon. After the firriet spoonful the skeleton appeared to say, "Or r r gr h- uh, that's hot !" Shovelling the scalding gruel as fast as ever I the lad rapped the skull and impatiently retorted, "'Well, jist blew on it, ye auld bony !" The doctor sat down and fairly roared, but he engaged the lad. I. t • 1 That Throbbing Headache Would quickly leave you if you used Dr. King's New Life Pills.

" A Minister's Wife," writing on " Criti- cising the clothes of thMinister's family," in the October Ladies' Home Jeurnal, asks "why the clothing of the minister's wife is of more public consequence than that of the doctor's family? Everybody helps to sup- port the doctor as well as the minister," she contends, " so it scarcely seems possible that it can be because the parishioners feel' that ,the appearance of poverty �n his part reflects upon their generosity. Some one says that it is because the minister and his family seem to be a part of eash, household in the church, so dear and close is the re- lationehip. Surely, then, the very closeness of the tie is but another reason why there should he an absence of critinis , and avoid- ance of hurt on the part of tie congrega- tion.

They were each length, and he was is shoes made to or- e a boatload of toiir- ists had come up B g Foot fell into leen- verstitien with some of the passengers, and finally a poker game was suggested. Four men, including Big Foot, signified their desire to plaY, and in a few Min- utes they were at in As the cards ,were being shuffled for the first deal one of the three strangers re arked that he 'guess- ed it would be a gentleman's game, which means a game in thich a player may make bets withou putting his money in front of him -in other word, betting on credit. As th three strangers all looked prosperous ig Foot said that he was satisfied, and.t e game proceeded. "In those days th old fashioned leath- er pocketbooks were used almost exclu- sively by wealthy nen. You will remem. her that they had •ne compartment Of bills which folded p, and the book was held together by a strap which slipped through .a leather h Ider. Every now and, then one of the str ngers would dig up his leather pocketb ok, throw it into the Middle of the tab e and murmur, 'A. thousand better.' "Big Foot had ab ut $1,500 in cash in, front of him, but hi hands were not run- ning high, and it IN as some time before he had occasion to o against the pocket- ' book play. Finally,' on his own deal he caught three tens t go, and the fourth ten dropped into his hand on the draw. "Everybody staid; and when sit got around .to Big Foot after the draw he made a raise that toOk every cent in front of him. The first player to the left then went fee his pocketbook again and tossing it into the center simply reinark- ed, 11,000 better.' The next man saw* the raise and went. it $500 more. The third, man threw his pocketbook into the center to make good, and the three looked at Big Foot inquiringly. "Big Foot was equal to the occasion. He was convinced that he had the top hand, and he proposed to play it for all It was worth. Quickly slipping off one of his immense slides he threw it into the, center with the remark: 'Well, gen- tlemen, AB you are all playing leather, i[ will do a little of it myself. I guess there's enough good calfskin there to see the bets already made and raise .$2,500 more,' "The other players sized up the shoe and then breaking into a hearty laugh laid down their hands. Big Foot raked in all the loose money in sight, and the strangers then opened their pocketbooks and counted out the amounts for which their 'feather stood. "I've heard lots of' times of fellows bet- ting their clothes on a hand, but I doubt if you will find another instance in the history of draw poker where a player's shoe was good for a $5,000 pot." The Story of a Novel. One of the most popular novels of the day -had a strange history which might have been considered fatal to its success had it been known in advance. A. New York author, whose books are always sure of a certain degree of popularity, finished all but the last few chapters of a novel. Try as he might, it was impossi- ble for him to complete the story satis- factorily. So he put the book away, and for two years it lay unfinished in his desk, although the author thought of the work from time to time without being able to get any nearer a solution of the plot. Finally he 10,st all hope of ever com- pleting the work and decided to end it at a point Several chapters in advance of that at which he had ceased to write. With this abrupt and unexpected ending the novel went to a publisher, was ac- cepted, and it turned out one of the most popular novels this author has ever writ- ten. One of the most praised features of the book is its unconventional ending, which is Said to be just explicit enough to satisfy everybody without going into inartistic detail. And the author was at one time so discouraged about the endiug of the book that he had almost given up the idea of submitting it to any publisher. IIE BRIBED THE BOY. YET THE MISCHIEF HE SOUGHT TO 'AVERT ARRIVED ON TIME. A runny' Experience That Greatly Amused Preelden.t Grant While Vis- iting. a Friend Who 'Was Blessed With an “Eneant Tereinleni "The late General Grant," said F. V. aides of Washington, "was always iinduess itself to children. He had a large family of his own, and this it was probably that bred in him the kindly 6Dirit of tolerance that he ever showed to the younger generation. A friend of aiiin0 told me that the first time he ever sew the general was when he was a small shaver. Itt those days dinners. were giv- en at a very early hour, and sweetmeats and 'candies of .all kinds were much used. This particular evening Grant hadbeen dining at my friend's father's 'house, and my triend had descended the back stairs clad only in his nightgown, seeking that whieh he might devour. The men of the party were seated smoking about the ta- ble. The butler and other servants were busy, clearing away the remnants of the • feast. "The small boy peeked through the dor, and there, a few feet away, on a side ; table were the sweetmeats of his heart's desire. Guests and servants seem- ed alike engrossed, and so, doubled up, he tiptoed across the floor. Just as his tiuye chubby fist. closed on the first dish he felt himself taken by the ear, while the iiggrieved voice of the butler said: 'Dere nowa you Mars Gus, you's de most mi„chievousest boy in Washington. What yca iniah gain to say to Lewis if he lets you pat yours.elf sick wid dem things?' An41 with that be gave the offender's ear a tm1vst that caused him to utter a shriek of Pein. . "an stout, squarely built man, seated nen .est the pair, turned at the sound and called the small boy to him. 'What's the matter, little man?' hetaskednin a kincly voice, and the lad, between snuf- fles, explained . how, to obtain sweet- meats for himself and a still smaller sis- ter, be had made his attempt at robbery.
