Some Tersely and Timely Told Tales that Are Both Grim
The Point of View.
D 1 VR. WEIR MITCHELL relatea th
following story of Dr. Stivers of
t New York:
l'ft It seems that Dr. Stivers had
tmLttmJ a large dispensary cllnlo, and
hardly a day passed that one or more
cases of felon did not appear. "It won't
hurt," wu always his comforting assur
ance to the patient If - the latter evinced
signs of distress.
The good doctor's turn came ha. con
tracted a felon himself. He poulticed It
for about a, week and walked the floor
with pain. One day his assistant surgeon
said:
"Why not lance it, doctor? It ought to
have been dons week ago."
"No doubt." replied Dr. Stivers. Then,
after a long breath, he added meekly:
"Perhaps perhaps you'd better, do It
now."
"All right," saW the assistant. "Put
your finger on the table."
- Dr. Stivers did as ha wsa bidden. As the
a-sstant took up the knife the doctor
cautioned him. "Be gentle: that's an awful
sors finger." . i .
"It won't hurt," remarked the assistant
as he jabbed the sharp steel Into the fln
gr. There came a, howl of agony from
Dr. Stivers, and, grasping his finger In
his other hand, be fairly danced about the
place, ' giving ntteranoa to many long
drawn out "Oh's!"
"Why, doctor.". aai4 the assistant sur
geon. "Its heard you tell patients hun
dred of time that it didn't hurt to lance
a felon."
"No doubt you have." groaned Dr.
Stivers, "but that depends upon whloh end
of the knife a man Is at." New Tork Her

in Its efforts It has good success. Maids

"She waa a good cook, but she had not

"In these tests," h said, "It Is necessary
to be cautious- As cautious," h added
humorously, "as was the lawyer with the
barrel of beer. There was once a lawyer
who kept in his cellar a barrel of the finest
Bavarian beer. Naturally he waa cau
tious of this expensive beverage. He did
not permit every Tom, Dick and Harry to
enter his cUlar alone.
"One day a job of bricklaying needed to
be done near the furnace. A bricklayer
was sent for and on his arrivel the lawyer
presented him to his butler.
" 'James,' he said, 'this Is the bricklayer
whom' you know of. Take him down into
the cellar and show him what is to be
done. And, by the way, James, when you
come up bring the barrel of beer up with
you."
"At this point the bricklayer Interposed'
with a sarcastic smile.

Archbishop Ireland's Joke on Illmaelf
Archbishop Ireland doesn't mind telling a
joke on himself. The . archbishop always
dresses so unostentatiously that no one
could guess his episcopal rank from his
street garc Traveling one aay in a rural
district, he met a good-natured woman In
the car who, after some general conversa
tion, asked him:
"You're a priest, father, aren't you?"
In a bantering mood the archbishop
thought he'd try a quibble to put her at
her ease, so he answered:
"No, my good woman, I'm no longer a
priest."
The woman gave him a pitying glunce.
Then she said, soothingly: 'Oh, the Lord
help us, father! It wasn't the drink, I
hope?" New York Sun.

was arrested by direct collision with th

moved on, striking the noond tree. After
securing his hat and apologizing he passed
