N the course of an oral examination
one day at the Maryland univer
sity medical school a professor ad
dressed a bright pupil and said
James If you were called in to see
a patient who needed quinine what
would jou give as a substitute for that
In case you could not get it
James thought a minute and replied
Why I would give him quinine of
course
But suppose you could not obtain
that drug said the professor
James thought the matter over again
and said Id give him quinine pro
fessor sure
The old professor became exasperat
ed and said It is plain that you are
seeking to evade the question Now
I want you to suppose that there is not
any quinine within J500 miles
James hung his head in deep thought
and finally answered Professor Id
give him quinine If I had to go all the
way to the north pole to get It
Ten-year-old Fred was going to a
party for the first time
Heres a half dollar Fred said his
father if it rains be sure you take a
cab home
When Fred got home he was thor
oughly drenched
Why didnt you take a cab ex

I did father replied Fred and
I sat on the box all the way home
It was glorious
A well known artist was walking
with a friend one day when his com
panion suddenly discovered ho had a

toothache
Why innocently replied the artist
the last time I had toothache I went
home and my wife kissed it away
The friend paused a moment and
then asked Is your wife home now

JTo Deadhead Trip
One of the most famous of American
shipping lines in the palmy days of our
marine was the Cope line which ran
between Philadelphia and Liverpool
says the author of Memoirs of Charles
II Cramp By this line John Ran
dolph of Roanoke determined to go to
Russia when he had been appointed
minister to that country by President
Jackson Entering the office of tho
company in Philadelphia he said to a
clerk in his usual grandiloquent man
ner
Sir I wish to see Thomas P Cope
He was shown to Mr Copes office
I am John Randolph of Roanoke
he said I wish to take passage to
Liverpool in one of your ships
If he expected to be tendered a pass
he was grievously disappointed
I am Thomas Cope replied the
head of the line If thee goes aboard
the ship and selects thy stateroom and
will pay lo0 thee may go

Sir Edwin that he had seen most of
the sights but had not experienced
any of the earthquakes which are so
common in Japan
I suppose you cannot show me
one said the duke jestingly
Immediately the house shook the
chandelier swaj ed backward and for
ward the china and glass on the table
rattled and the door burst open
Why Sir Edwin you are a magi

which had happened at so eurious a
moment subsided
