At one of these visits the regular house surgeon was temporarily ab sent. Dr. Prettymitu was sitting In the medical ollice, waiting for lilm, when a nurse entered and told him that a patient who was considered almost cured and had been given the post of cook was acting strangely. Would the do t r go down and see hlmV The doc tor went to the lilteheu and the nurse to a patient who especially required his intention. 1 r. Prettyman found the cook aloue In the kitchen. Indeed, he had driven every one else out. lie was a large, muscular man. and U did not need the doctor's practiced eye to see the light of Insanity tu his eye. lie was stand- litis ovr n large boiler which was t filled with steaming mm p. "Poctor." said the lunatic, "come here and taste this soup. I fear It Is not flavored right." The doctor hesitated a moment, won dering If lie had not better call assist ance, then corn-hided to humor the pa tient, lie went to the range. In which there was a very hot fire. The cook ladled out some soup, and the doctor tasted It, burning his tongue. "It's all right." he said. "But. doctor, I dou't think there's meat enough lu It. It's too thin. 1 should have more stock for It, but 1 haven't. The steward Is stingy with his supplies. He gives me nothing, lit- ernlly uotlli"- ultn wllll'l " the moulhs iu this vast house. He's putting all the money they give him for provisions in his pocket. I wish 1 had him here. I'd chop him luto bits." Seizing a cleaver, he braudished it over the doctor's head, theu.went on excitedly: PRETTVMAN'S 01 There's got to tie more stock for Hfn.,tu . .oup. .,,u i it to co.!Monmouth Oregon this iroai?

' It might tie expected tbat the dapper physiciau would shriek for help. He knew only too well that this would ex cite t tie patient and before assistance could arrive the big cook would be chopping him up Into soup stock, lie kept his eye Hxed steadily on the pa tient "Do you want your soup to retain its llavor?" be asked. "Crrtuiuly I do." "Atid don't want It to laste of asa fetidn?" "Of course not" "Anil paracrine." "No." The doctor went through with a Hat of medicines. Keeping his eye on the door, hoping that some one might hap pen in. Kill he was disappointed. Those whose place was in the kitchen purposely kept out. aud others had uo occasion to go there. At last the doc tor was constrained to conclude. "Well, if you don't want your soup to taste of these drugs I'd belter get rid of my pocket medicine case which conlalns them all." He spent as much time as lie dared fumbling for his case, the cook grow ing impatient the while, then look it oul. opened it. extracted one or two corks, smelled of the hollies and put one cf them under the cook's nose. It contained ether. liut the doctor knew very well that he couldn't put the luna tic asleep wilh ether unless be could hold il over his mouth and nose, lie hoped to (pliet him and to gain time. The cook thought It would Improve the soup and with a wild laugh poured tlia ..mihtiilu tntrt Hia cnlilrnll. KtirriUL? :lt wllb .ltlH. Then he turned ! again to the doctor and seized hlni by the arm. Hold on a bit." said the doctor. "Here's something else." He took a vial from bis case marked "Choral." "Taste that." he said, banding it to tbe cook. The cook took a' swallow. "Fine, isn't It?" asked the doctor, breathing a sigh of partial relief. The cook turned, threw the bottle into the soup. I lien, again seizing the doctor, lifted him. despite his efforts, on to a table used for cutting meat. Then the maniac looked about for his clearer, which he had laid aside' while flavoring the soup. The doctor, white as chalk, watched him, dreading that he might retain consciousness long enough to make one chop. The cleaver was within reach, but the cook did not see it. He put his hand to his (head, reeled and sunk to the door. The doctor got down from the table, wont out of the kitchen, touched an alarm bell and went hack to the in sensible cook. In a moment several atle:id:itits came flying luto the room, and when the cook cm me to himself he was in a strait jacket In au upper room. (! When the dinner was served that day in the asylum every oue com plained of the remarkable flavor of the soup. Fortunately, the drugs with which it had been flavored were so diluted that no one was injured by j them. It turned out that tbe cook I who finished preparing the dinner In 1 the excitement had not been Informed .of the additions made to the soup I from Dr. Pretty uiau'a medicine case. A Shocking Tree. There is a peculiar tree hi the for ests of central India which has most curious characteristics. The leaves of the tree are of a highly sensitive na ture and so full of electricity that whoever toti'-hes one of them receives an electric shock. It has a very singu lar effect upon a magnetic needle and will IntlueiKO it at a distance of even seventy feet. The electrical strength of the trees varies according to the time of day. it being strongest at mid day aud weakest at midnight. In wet weather its powers disappear alto gether. Hirds never approach the tree, nor have insects ever been seen, upon It. Your Buggy Painted for $8.00 A. B.
