WENT IN SOME HASTE

IN HI* PAJAMAS DOCTOR RE-
SPONDED TO CALL.

How a promlnaot Indlauapoll* phy-
sician—rsc.ntly a visitor In Chicago—
anaworad a hurry call from a "pa
ttsnt" clad only ,ln a heavy overcoat
thrown over hla pajamas and hla house
slippers, and Instead of finding ths
supposed patient was confronted by a
hilarious party of his own friends, waa
told here at the Auditorium hotel by
the physician himself.
"Yes," the Indianapolis doctor be-
gan, “I believe I hold the record for
being the brunt of the practical Joker’s
tricks. Listen to this tale and see if
you don't agree with me:
"To begin with, my wife Is a bridge
whlat enthusiast, while I myself would
rather go to Jail Rian to a card party.
On the night In question we had both
bean Invited to a friend’s home to play
bridge. She—my wife—went and I
staid at home. Clad in my pajamas,
with a sweet old meerschaum In my
mouth and my feet poked close to s
biasing log In my bedroom fireplace, I
settled down to read a new detective
story which I had bought a day or two
before.
“Along about ten o'olock 1 grew
eleepy. I closed my eyes almost un
consciously and my chin fell on my
breast How long I would have dosed
that way before the fire I don’t know,
had I not been awakened by a frantic
ringing of the telephone bell In my
office room. j
"I blinked one. or twice and hur-
ried to answer the call.
‘“Heitor came the voice through
the receiver, Ts this Dr. P—V
“ ‘Yes,’ said I.
" 'O, doctor, won't you hurry up to
my house? This la Mrs. Thomas. My
baby Is terribly sick and I don’t know
what Is the matter, or what to do.
Please hurry, doctor.'
“It was rather cold out of doors, but
t was In a hurry. Mrs. Thomas was a
friend of mine and of my wife. It
was at her home that the bridge whist
party was being held, but 1 did not
remember that Ip my haste; I threw
my overcoat over my pajamas and
went to the shed when I kept my run-
about There was a beater In It and
as I had not more than half a mile
to ride 1 thought I would be able to
withstand the oold. So I started, my
coat collar turned up, no hat and the
automobile running on high speed.
“As I came near the house I no-
ticed many lights and I thought that
truly the baby's Illness must be seri-
ous. When I pulled up at the block at
the curbing I Jumped out and ran into
the house, never pausing In my hurry
to ring the bell. It was perhaps a case
of life and death, I thought, and In
such cases we phyelclans never pause
for formality.
“ ‘Just step In here a moment, doc-
tor,’ spoke Mrs. Thomas, who met me
In the hall.
"I thought It rather strange that I
was not taken right to the patient,
but I went Into the room she lndloated
and sat down. I was Indeed a unique
sight for the eye My hair was stick
tng up all over my head and at my
throat my pink pajamas showed an
Inch or two and below my overooat
they showed a foot I had on brown
leather house slippers, and between
them and my pajama bottoms showed
a couple of Inches of bare skin. I was
a sorry looking sight, I admit
"Suddenly four electric lights In a
chandelier in the middle of the room
shone brilliantly, and 1 heard what
sounded like laughter coming from a
hundred maniacal parsons. In reality,
there were only eight of them, but
they were maniacal, all right Ths
drat person 1 saw waa my wife, and
she was laughing so that teara
courted down her cheeks. The other*
In the party were literally doubled up.
My wife, when she could control her
taught**, said.
• ‘John, 1 waited to get you over
her* In the machine so thst you could
iske ms boms. Rut I didn't think vou
would come without your clothes.'

CHINESE ARE EXTRAORDINARILY
CAREFUL OF THEIR DEAD.
Rerevenc* Carried to an Extrema
In ths Yellow Country—Cass In
Point 8hows How Obstinate
They Can Be.
Better strike a Chinaman than ater
upon hi* ancestor's grave. They ar«
finding that out to the great detriment
of Industry and agriculture all over
Cathay—for the Chinaman will simply
not allow a railroad or a plow to past
through what he suspects ts the dust
of one of his honorable forbears and
there la no condemnation law In Chins
to force him to sell the graves.
The Instance of the Russian rail
road from Harbin to Port Arthur
which made a 26 mile detour to avoid
the ancient Manchu tombs at Muk
den, has been often cited to show the
expense and trouble that nlay arise
from this cause. This was many
years ago and there seemB to be a
popular Idea, even among old foreign
residents of China, that the going for
the "right of way” men and the build
ers of railways Is much easier now
than then. As a matter of fact, since
people are dying right along and the
number of grave* Increasing as a con
sequence, It Is very doubtful If condl-
tlons are not becoming Worse rather
than better. The Chinese have ac
cepted the railway as a convenience
In transportation, not. as a destroyer
of their beloved graves. They have
•hown the greatest readiness to
patronize It once It Is built, but they
never have ceased, and never wll'
cease, putting obstacles In the way ol
a line that dleturbs so much as a
single Isolated ancestral resting place
Many of the foreign educational In
stltutlons of China have been years
acquiring the land for their grounds—
principally on account of graves and
the blue print mnpa of some of their
holdings reminds one of the drawing
of the original "gerrymander" con
gresslonal district In Massachusetts
The Canton Christian college. In South
China, haB a striking monument to
the obduracy of a solitary grave-hold
er In the form of an upright cylinder
of yellow clay In the middle of Its
basketball field Not the desecrating
touch of the feet of the hated ’’for
sign devils,” not the turmoil of the
mad games that surge around It, not
even the fact that Its elevated crest
Is occasionally utilized by an Ir-
reverent student as a coign of van-
tage from which to toss a goal, has
led the old woman that owna It to ac-
cept the generous offer made her by
the college authorities for her little
“six feet of soil." Her hueband used
to sleep with all the babies crying
she says philosophically, and It Is
hardly likely that a little noise will
trouble him now. He will let her know-
through the priests when he Is dts
turbed and until then she knows that
he will rest better where he Is Of
course, the obvious thing for the col
lege authorities to do would be to pay
a vlalt to the geomaneers and arrange
that the old lady should be Instructed
that the "fengahul” decreed that her
late husband would reBt quieter In
some other place; but as "subtlety"
of this class Is hardly In the line of a
Christian Institution, It Is not unlike
ly that the strange looking cylinder
of yellow clay may star the campue
basketball field until the game old
lady Is herself numbered with her an-
eeator*.
Pussies for Pstlsnts.
Although the patient had waited
half an hour for her interview with
the doctor the time bad not dragged.
"1 worked on one of these puzxles,''
she said. “By ths way, doctor, you
are not s children's specialist; thea.
why do you keep so many puzzles In
you reception room?”
“You answered pour own question
before you siked It,” the doctor said.
'I keep tnem to amuse the grown ups.
Most people who feel bad enough to
visit a doctor can entertain them
eelves better with a puzxle than a
book or magazine. Every puzzle that
hae achieved popularity In tb* last
?5 year* has a placs In that cabinet.
Dentists also rsly on pussies to keep
waiting patient* In good humor, for
sven toothache will share attention
with a good puzsle.”

AMBITIOUS YOUNG WOMAN.
Miss Paula Laddy, who was the
only woman graduate of the New
Jersey Law school, is the daughter
of the president of the New Jersey
State Suffrage association, whose
■on took his doctor’s degree in the
New York university at the same
time that her daughter graduated.
Miss Laddy was a probation officer
and thought that a knowledge of law
would better fit her for her work, so
took the course.
Man In Vermont Mountains Who Had
a Hundred Dollars Was Consid-
ered Very Rich.
Fred Emery was visiting in the
mountains of Vermont last summer
when he met, on the road, a long-
whiskered and talkative old man.
There ensued the following converse
tion between the mountaineer and
Emery:
“Be you acquainted in these
parts?’’
“I sure be.”
“Be you acquainted with Seth An-
derson ?”
“I sure he. I know Seth well. He
lives up on the Valley road.”
“Waal, waal! Be you acquainted
with fly Southhridge?”
“I sure be. He lives down on the
Mill road.”
“Waal, now! Be you acquainted
with Cy’a daughter, Mary?”
“I sure be. She’s a mighty likely-
looking girl.”
“Waal, Mary is married to a
wealthy man—an all-fired wealthy
man!”
“You don’t tell me!”
“An all-fired wealthy man! Why
her husband is worth one hundred
dollars!”—Popular Magazine.

CANDID OLD REGISTERS.
In 1696 of Henry Watson, who
died at Kyloe, it is calmly stated
that he “was so great a fool that he
never could put on his own close
nor ever went a quarter of a mile off
ye house.” Isabell Elliner again, is
handed down to posterity as “an
olde lame, impident (impotent?)
woman.” And it seems hardly re-
spectful to label Mrs. Longworth,
who was buried at Durham in 1779,
as an “old virgin," or to add to the
notice of Lawyer Wright’s burial,
“Woe unto you, ys lawyers.”—Sat-
urday Review.
REMINDERS.
“After what the clerk told me, I
shall leave thi» place tomorrow. I
| don’t want to be anywhere that has a
thing to remind me of the office.”
“But, pa, dear, what can remind
you of the office here?”
“The worst of all reminders. The
clerk tells ine the dark object out
yonder on the water is a whistling
I buoy.”
