ROHR, LORD&THOMAS. “Every family is supposed to have a skeleton in its closet,” remarked Dr. Wheeler, of Wichita, Kan., to a party of friends recently. “I had one in my closet until this week, when I shipped It to the Michigan State University. I don’t want to see it again. It happened like this: Many years ago, when I began to practice medicine in a small Missouri town, the Jesse James boys paid us a visit. They raid ed the bank, got away with $6,(100, but firing was pretty general on both sides. I had a revolver and during the gener- excitement shot one of the robbers. He was dead when we picked him up. “A finer specimen of physical man hood I have never seen. The natives in the little Missouri village made no objection when I claimed the youth’s skeleton as my prize. “Last week, one rainy night, aliout II o’clock, a genuine old fashioned frontiersman came to my office, He asked my name, then enquired if I had a skeleton in my closet. His face was bearded and sunburnt, lint there was something about him that made me think of the young man I had killed many years before. I was alone in the office, and I did not like the color of the visitor’s eye. However I answer ed my question in the affirmative.; “Let me see the skeleton?” said my queer visitor. “Would scarcely do to refuse. I walk ed to the rear of the office, where there was a small table out of sight of my vis itor. I drew out of the desk a revolver, the same one that had ended the career of that youthful bandit years before. Holding it in my hand I stepped to the closet, threw open the door, and re marked with as much coolness as I could command by force of will: “There is the skeleton!’ “ ‘Put up your revolver,’ remarked the stranger. ‘1 won’t hurt you. If I had wanted to shoot you I would have killed you when I came into the office. I have just lieen down in Oklahoma and am on my way back to Tennessee. I heard the story of you killing one of the gang, and near as I can make it out it was my boy that was killed. He run away from home when only twelve years old, and 1 never saw him after that. I don’t hold any grudge against you. But I thought I would take this chance to see what is left of the poor boy.’ “I then showed the stranger the skeleton, which was handsomely mounted, and described the raid as gently as possible. The old pioneer's only remark as he gazed upon all that was left of his boy was: ‘Well, he was a big fellow, wasn’t he?’ ”
