No Joke.
It costs good, sound money to play
n practical joke on a Chicago maiden.

Chicago boasts of a woman who is
president of no fewer than seven

One 1 of the hardest blows to the profes
ional pride of physicians and aurgcona js
the cxccm of wisdom on al such subjects
possessed by the world at large, say tho

operation was successful and the splints
hud been removed. The surgeon advised
his patient to leave off the bandages, and
manipulate the injured member at mter-
Va,Just as the doctor was leaving the house
the milkman arrived on his rounds, and
missing tho splints, said-to the patient:
"You'll take cold in that arm. You ought
to keep it bandaged."
A few days later the surgeon called again,
and found that the patient, who had fol

Canadian Government Agents,
Preferred the 1Iuj;m.
They tell a good oue on a prominent real
estate mun of Waurika. Some time ago ho
carried a prospector over on Beaver Creek
to show him a certain claim. He told th
man that it was an exceptionally fine claim;
that the land did not overflow, and that
he would bell it to him for $4,000. The man.
looked around and discovered some red
mud way up in a tree and asked the real
estate man what caused that mud in the
tree tops if the land did not overflow. The
agent promptly replied that there was a.
kind of hog raised over in the Chickasaw
country which used to range on the creek,
and that they rubbed-the mud on the tree.
The prospector took a look over the land
glanced up in the tree again, and told, thai
Waurika man that he wouldn't take tho
claim, but that he would give him $4,000
for a couple of those hogs. Kansas Citjg'
