Story
TTT a recent gathering of medical
ll men In Philadelphia Dr. W. W.
rwtrcu, mo wen Known surgeon,
told this story:
"After the battle of Gettysburg
a corps under the command of a young
physician, who had recently been appointed,
was ordered to collect the wounded. Among
the disabled was a man who had been shot
through the leg. The young doctor pro
ceeded to use his knife. After cutting for
a half hour he was Interrupted by the young
soldier with:
" 'Say, how much longer are you going to
cut?'
" 'Until I get the bullet,' replied the doc
tor. " 'Why, you fool, if that's what you want,
I've got It In my pocket.'
"Sure enough; the bullet had lodged in
the skin of the man's leg after pausing
through, and he had kept It as a souvenir."
"Mr. Depew," said a gentleman, speaking
recently of the nenator to the New York
Tliiies, "pays a compliment as graciously
as any man, and one would never expect
to see him fall to rise to the occasion. It
therefore a matter of considerable sur
prise to me when, at a dinner where the
senator was a guest, I observed that he al
lowed to pass several excellent opportuni
ties to compliment a charming young lady
of tho company. Afterward I commented
upon the omission to Mr. Depew himself.
" 'You observed the lady?' he aeked.
" 'Yea,' I answered.
"'You noticed that she might be ex
tremely sensitive?' he went on.
" 'Yes,' I replied, though, truth to tell, I
hadn't considered the lady's disposition at
ell.
" 'Well,' said Mr. Depew slowly, 'I once
told a sensitive girl that I thought her as
sweet as honey, and the result was disas
trous.' " 'How so?" I questioned, though I ought
to have known better.
"The senator answered me In a whisper:
'Next day the lady had hives. "
An English university man who has been
visiting Washington, relates the New York
Tribune, was invited to supper one night
with a party of men who, with one excep
tion, are graduates of the most noted of
American colleges. The one exception wa
the host, a man who Is always-delightfully
frank about the Incidents of his career.
The talk turned on colleges, and every
man declared his alma mater.
"And you'" said the Englishman, turn
ing to his host, "you are a college man, too,
I presume?"
"Oh, yes, Indeed," answered the host. "I
was graduated at an Institution which has
turned out more men than any other in the
country Dr. Keeley's famous university at
Dwight, In Illinois. You must be sure to
visit It while you are In the west."
And the Englishman responded earnestly:
"Indeed, I shall take great pleasure in
doing so."
There la a young newspaper man of Phila
delphia whose business is the writing of
headlines for articles on local subjects. The
heads he has been turning out, relates the
Philadelphia Times, lately struck bis boss
the other day aa rather dull and drew on
him, accordingly this order: "Brighten up
your heads. Make them breezy. Put more
ginger in them. The paper will stand for
It." Thereupon the young man turned back
to his desk, resolved to be as brilliant and
daring aa he could. He took up a report
of a lecture on heat waves that had been
delivered by John Blank. "Heat waves," be
mused. "Heat waves, by John Blank. How
can I write a brilliant, daring head for
that?" He did not know that John Blank
was one of the editors of his own paper,
and with a little laugh, be headed the
report of the lecture: "Hot Air from John
Blank," and sent the manuscript upstairs
to the composing room. Fortunately for
him it did not get Into the paper. Another
editor saw and Intercepted It In time.
A unique figure at Palm beach is "Al
ligator Joe," who Is well known to all vis
itors to that part of Florida. He Is a fa
mous hunter and his uncouth but pic
turesque personality and his Jovial and ex
citing stories of adventures have made him
a celebrated character.
Among the guests of the Royal Polnclana
there is no more enthusiastic Dsherman
than Mr. Joseph Jefferson, who annually
flees from the rigors of New York climate
to spend the winter months in southern
Florida. It is related that on day when
he was basking In the sunshine on the end
of the pier extending out in the lake in
front of the great hotel a newly-arrived
visitor from the north, a woman who was
evidently unfamiliar with this part of Flor
ida and Its associations, approached and
began to examine the solitary fisherman
with great atteutlon. Mr. Jefferson, in
tent upon bis fishing, paid no attention to
her, and after a pause she went up to him
and said:
"Excuse me, but are you 'Alligator Joe?' "
Mr. Jefferson looked up and bla eyes
twinkled.
"I confess to the 'Joe,' uiadam," he said,
"but I deny the 'Alligator.' "
-
There are some queer couples In the
world, remarked a real estate agent, quoted
by the Boston Advertiser. The other day
Tellers' Pack
a man and woman called to see me about
renting a house. The woman did all the
talking and turned to the man for confirm
ation or corroboration. He always agreed
with her and did It very meekly.
"Well," said the woman, "I'll give you
25 for the bouse. Won't we, John?"
John Yes.
"And I'll pay my rent promptly, too;
won't we, John?"
"Yes."
"And I'll take good care of the house;
won't we, John?"
"Yes."
"But," I Inquired, as is usual In such
eases, "are you man and wife?"
"Man and wife," exclaimed the woman
sharply. "Indeed, we are not; are we,
John?"
"No, my dear."
"What?" said I. "Not man and wife?"
"Not much." she retorted. "I'd have you
know, too, that in this family we are wife
and man; that's so, isn't it, John?"
And John meekly agreed.
One of the moBt conspicuous featur.s of
a recent entertainment at the Players' club
was a pyramid of lobsters In the grillroom
awaiting the time when the flow of soul
should give way to appetite. It was a
beautiful pyramid and not a single lobster
was under the prescribed length. The dig
nity of the occasion was equaled by Its
solemnity, and everyone was talking, when
an actor who happened to be a member
came in. He was slightly exhilarated, but
after listening to the conversation a few
minutes he became somber. Suddenly he
saw the pyramid of lobsters. He grabbed
the arm of a guest, led him Into the grill
room and said solemnly:
"Here is where the house of bishops
lunched once."
"Indeed?"
"Yes. Now would you like to meet a
stack of our charter members?"
"Delighted, I am sure."
Taking the guest to the table where the
lobsters were plied the actor Introduced
him to them very formally. He devoted his
attention during the rest of the evening
to introducing as many people as he could
persuade to go into the grillroom to the
pile of lobsters. His exhilaration returned
by the usual process, and even such of the
charter members as were present admitted
that the evening developed in a lively
fashion.
Scenes of the Miracles
(Continued from Third Page.)
of that ointment has filled the world.
Vases of alabaster are still made for hold
ing perfumes. It Is said that the mouth is
filled with cotton and then melted wax is
poured over the cotton to exclude the air.
It waa this stopple which Mary broke and
not the vase Itself.
Lazarus is now dead, Martha is no more
"cumbered with much serving," and Mary
no longer alts here at the Master's feet;
but Christ lives and Mary's act In anoint

sweetens the whole atmosphere of the,
dilapidated village, even as It adds a new
charm to her character and to the beauti
ful scripture narrative.
Another event makes this vicinity fa
mous forever. We shall not forget that on
this desolate upland and perhaps at a
point Immediately overlooking the village,
Jesus took His departure from the earth
on His return to heaven.
Site of the Ascension.
The place pointed out by tradition on the
Mount of Olives aa that of the ascension no
one considers to be the true location of this
grat event, and probably it was not In
tended at first that any one should so con
sider It. It was selected not because it was
supposed to be the actual place, but simply
that it might commemorate the actual oc
currence. Here on the eastern declivity of
the Mount of Olives, sheltered by gently
swelling hills and apart from other sights
and sounds, our Lord had His last inter
view with His disciples. We are distinctly
told that "He led them out as far as to
Bethany."
There He delivered to them His final
commission, and as they stood about Him
"while He blessed them He was parted
from them and carried up into heaven." All
the laws of gravitation yielded Him homage
as their Creator and Preserver. He began
to rise He arose higher and higher, aud
the disclplea watched Him with strange
wonder and great reverence until the cloud
received Him out of their sight. How won
derfully real was the story of the ascension
as we stood on this memorable spot! It la
most unfortunate that the peak of the
Mount of Olives should ever have been
chosen as the site of the ascension. If only
we bear in mind the words already quoted
regarding Bethany we can readily see that
the ascension could not have taken place
from the top of Olivet.
Once more the sight of the disciples as
"they looked steadfastly toward heaven,"
and once mora the sight of the heavenly
messengers in whits apparel, aasurlng tne
disciples that Jesus would come again, "in
like manner as ys have seen Him go Into
heaven." was present to our thought as we
turned away from this sacred spot to con
tinue our Journey.
