GOT HIM CHEAP.
Tha Way a Famous 8urgeon Waa Onca
Cleverly Tricked.
Sir Morel Mackenzie once received a
Wire from Antwerp asking him his
charges for a "certain operation. lie
replied 500 and was told to come at
once. When he stepped upon the dock
he was met by three men In mourning,
who Informed him sadly that he had
come too late, the patient had died.
"But," said the spokesman of the
party, "we shall pay you your full fee."
And they did. "And now," said the
man, "since you are here, what do you
say to visiting the city hospital and
giving a clinic for the benefit of our
local surgeons? It is not often they
have an opportunity of benefiting by
such science as yours."
Sir Morel said he would gladly com
ply, lie went to the hospital and per
formed many operations, among which
were two of a similar nature to that
for which ho had been called for
When he had finished all thanked him
profusely. On the steamer going home
he met a friend, who had a business
house In Antwerp.
'Tretty scurvy trick they played on
you, Sir Morel."
"What do you mean?" asked the sur
geon. "Told you the patient died before
you arrived, didn't they?"
"Yes."
"Lies. You operated on him and a
friend with the same trouble at the
clinic. Got two operations for one
price."
HE WAS EXCITED.
And Yet He Was Making Only a Very
Reasonable Request.
It was a dramatic scene, pregnant
with the most tragic possibilities.
Thus thought a witness to the meeting
of three Italians near the big express
depot at Fifteenth and Market streets.
A man and woman who were deliver
ing a trunk Into the hands of a clerk
were suddenly confronted by another
man, who was highly excited. He ap
proached the woman. In voluble Ital
ian he raved and swore nnd pleaded,
while she shrilled equally excited an
swers. The other man stood back
against the wall, his arms folded defi
antly, his head sunk on his chest. It
certainly looked as If daggers were to
be drawn. The Interested bystander
asked of some listeners who under
stood the rapidly spluttered dialect
what the trouble was all about.
"Why," was the volunteered transla
tion, "this woman has run away from
her husband with this man," pointing
to the sulky Individual.
"Oh, and ho Is begging her to re
turn?" was tho next query.
"Not on your life," was the express
ive reply. "She has packed up all her
husband's clothes In her trunk, as well
as her own, and ho Is begging her to
give back at least his Sunday suit."

Just Tolerable.
Concerning a certain tlmo serving
Washington clergyman of whom a vis
itor was one day expressing n harsh
estimate President Lincoln said:
I think you are rather hard on Mr. -.
He reminds me of a man In Illinois who
was arrested for passing a counterfeit
bill. He admitted that he had takon It
to a bank cashier to know if It was a
good bill. "Well, what was the reply of
the cashier?" asked his lawyer. "Why,"
evasively answered the prisoner, "he said
it was a pretty tolerable, respectable sort
of a bill."
Mr. Lincoln thought tho clergyman
"a pretty tolerable, respectablo sort of
a clergyman."

What Her Sister Heard When She
Listened to the Doctors.
One of two sisters who lived togeth
er was suddenly taken with a lung at
tack she feared was serious, says the
London Telegraph. She therefore sent
for a specialist and asked her doctor
to meet him. Talkinc over his coming
with ber sister, she 'm'A: "Mona, I
wish I could know Sir Henry B.'s real
opinion. Neither he nor Dr. M. will
tell U3 if there is anything really
wrong, but I would much rather
know."
Her sister replied: "Do not worry.
learest. You shall know everything,
for I will go down to the dining room
and stand behind tho big oak screen
nnd listen to every word they say."
"And will you be sure to tell me,
Mona?"
'You may rely on me, dearest. I will
tell you every word."
"Even If I am not to get well? "
"Even then, dearest." promised the
loyal Mona.
The hour for the consultation arriv
ed, and the sister went to the dining
room and, stniiding behind the great
oak screen, ensconced herself and pre
pared to listen.
By and by the two doctors were
heard descending the stairs, and a mo
ment later they came Into the room.
Walking over to the fireplace, the spe
cialist sank Into an easy chair and tho
local doctor sank into another. Then
followed a moment's silence, broken by
tho specialist, who loaned a llttlo for
ward. "My dear M.," ho said slowly as he
looked across at his colleague, "of all
the ugly women that's the Very ugliest
woman I've ever seen In my life."
"Is she?" replied the local doctor.
'You wait until you've seen her sister."

Equal in importance with a good harvesting
machine is good binder twine. The best binder and
poor twine will not only cause vexatious, but profit-losing
delays. Use Deering twine and avoid
these troubles. The expert supervision guarding
every operation in manufacturing Deering twine
makes it impossible to wind the twine poorly or
spin it to tight. Poor material never enters into the
