The doctor said , "What quantity of ale
do yon take ? " "Oh , I taakes my yaale
pretty welL" Abernethy ( with great
patience and gentleness ) , "Now then ,
to begin the day breakfast , what
time ? " "Oh , at haafe past 7. " "Ale
then ; how much ? " "I taakes my
quart" "Luncheon ? " "At 11 o'clock ,

"Noine o'clock. " "Ale then ? " "Yees ,
yees. I taakes my fill then. I goes asleep
arterward. ' * Like a lion aroused , Aber
nethy was up , opened the street door ,
shoved the farmer out and shouted out ,
"Go home , sir , and let me never see
your face again. Go home , drink your
ale and be damned. " The farmer rushed
out aghast , Abernethy pursuing him
down the street with shouts of "Go

Ho Benefited Humanity.
There is an oriental story of two
brothers , Ahmed and Omar. Both
wished to perform a deed whose mem
ory should not fail , but which might
sound their name and praises. Omar ,
with wedge and rope , lifted an obelisk
on its base , carving its form in beauti
ful devices and sculpturing man } a
strange inscription on its sides. He set
it 111 the hot desert to cope with its
gales Ahmed , with deeper wisdom
and truer though sadder heart , digged a
well to cheer the sandy waste and plant
ed about it tall date palms to make cool
shade for the thirsty pilgrim and to
shake down fruits for his hunger.
