No Encouragement,
Not Actually Necessary,
Frederick’s Thought«.
The family had stood the long
I strain of Uncle Hobart’s illness well,
but the peculiarities of the physician,
chosen by Uncle Hobart himself, had
been, to say the least, trying, “Do
you really think he will recover, Dr.
Shaw?” asked the oldest sister of the
invalid, who had borne with his va-
garies patiently for years.
“I know how'Vou feel, with Thanks
giving coming on and all,” said the
doctor, peering at her from under his
shaggy eyebrows, “but it’s too soon to
tell. He may get well, and then again,
he may not; I can’t encourage you yet
—either way.”
The lawyer proceeded to examine the
Witness.
“Pardon the question,' Mrs. Chucks-
ley,” he said, “but your answer consti-
tutes a part of the record. How old
are you?”
“Why, you ought to know, Mr
Sharpe,” she answered; “my birthday
Is the same as yours, only I was born
ten years later than you were.”
“Ah, yes, I remember. Well, It isn't
Important, anyhow. Go ahead, Mrs.
Chucksley, and tell the jury what you
know about this case.”—Chicago Trib

A young mother went upstairs one
evening to be sure that her son was
safely sleeping. As she paused at
the door of the nursery she saw her
husband standing by the side of the
crib, gazing earnestly at the child. .
As she stood still for a moment,
touched by the sight, tears filled her
eyes, and she thought, “How dearly
Frederick loves that boy!” Imagine
the shock, to her feelings when he sud
denly turned toward her and said:
“Amelia! It is incomprehensible to
me how they can get up such a crib
as this for three dollars and sixty
cents.”
