His First Lesson In
Medical Practice
By THOMAS R. DEAN
Miss Elsie Tisdale was engaged to
marry Mr. Bert Sawyer, a medical stu
dent. Mr. Sawyer was aware tliat Miss
Tisdale was as sensitive as a bird. All
she knew about physicians was wheu
one of them came to the house, felt
some one's pulse, asked about sundry
symptoms and, taking out a square bit
of paper, wrote certain hieroglyphics
on it that an apothecary understood.
What Bertie, as she called him, was
going through to acquire a medical ed
ucation she had no idea. That he ate
peanuts olf the breast of a cadaver he
was at work on in the dissecting room,
that he used the top of a skull, invert
ed. for a tobacco box; that he frequent
ly tonic a hand, a foot or some other
meuii'cr "f the human body to his room
to cut to pieces, she had not even a
suspicion. S: i» supposed that a med
ical scheol was like other schools—
honks. Im.c! s. nothing but books, and
nice, clean Imnks at that—while gen
teel professors lectured on how to euro

"Oh. be'^ all right," said the other
medico. "lie's no d« ulhead," and. slip

This caused a burst of laughter from

toothless a nil gumless jawbones.

The <•('!:•!•! t<»r was sitting at the end
of t!io car. and ouo of the women
culled to him and told him that If he
didn't step that indecent behavior on
the part of those young men she
would report him for negligence of
duty. At this the conductor went to
the two medics and told ihem they
had better roll their bony companion
In his shawl and stop the fun. To this
they nee ded, and that ended the per
formance. Soon after the train rolled
into the station the medics and the
"governor" went out through the front
end of the car. while Elsie left it at
the rear. She held her handkerchief
to her eyes to conceal her tears and to
avoid being recognized by Bert, whom
she intended never to meet again as
j her tia uce.
The next morning's mail brought
him a note from her containing the
I few words:
t "Our engagement is broken."
I Sawyer looked at it sidewise nnd
endwise, then shook it as if it were a
toy puzzle. lie could not understand
I it. Anyway something was wrong,
nnd lie went right over to the house to
find out about it. Mrs. Tisdale came
down with a suppressed smile and tokl
him the cause of the break. Elsie had
come home the day before heartbro
ken. She had supposed she was going
to marry a gentleman and found that
instead she was to marry a ghoul.
Bert was crushed.
"l'ou'd better drop the whole af
fair," said Mrs. Tisdale, "and let Elsie
get over it by degrees."
"She'll never get over it,"' groaned
Bert. "She'll have a horror of me so
long as she lives."
The affair was a good lesson to Bert,
lie became a famous physician and
never forgot that the doctors and the
laity are two different peoples. As for
Elsie, he was right in assuming that
she would always have a horror of
hlin. She myried another.
AUNT BETTY'S
PRISONER
By M. QUAD
Copyright. 1813, by Associated Lit
erary Press.
When Stephen Ellis was elected sher
iff of Ingham county the old Jailer, not
being of his party, had to go. To every
body's surprise the place was given to
Uncle Jerry Stills.
Uncle Jerry was fifty years old, and
his wife, who wns always called Aunt
Hetty, was a couple of years younger.
They were nice old people. They were
Mberul with what they had and knew
about as much of the wickedness of
the world as two children. The sheriff
had lived with them for four or five
years when lie was a homeless orphan,
and he owed a debt of gratitude which
lie wanted to pay. lie knew their soft
spots, and when they were ready to
take possession of the stone jug he
said:
"Now, listen to me! This is a Jail
and not an orphan asylum. No one
will be sent here who Is innocent or
deserves pity. All prisoners are here
because they deserve to be. Every last
one will lie and play the hypocrite and
must bo carefully watched. There
must be no foolishness with then).
Uncle Jerry, you mustn't trust one cf
them as far as you can sling a bull by
the tall.
"And, Aunt Betty, you must harden
that kind heart of yours. I know
you'd like to adopt every tramp In the
state and let him swing in a hammock
and have ham ami eggs every meal,
but it's a different thing here."
The Jail was without a prisoner just
then. At length a prisoner arrived to
be eared for by Uncle Jerry and Aunt
Betty. He bad been tried for grand
larceny and given a sentence of six
months. lie did not look more than
eighteen years old and had a face as
innocent as that of a child, rie had
tears In his eyes when he arrived at
the jail.
"What a shame!" exclaimed Aunt
Betty after a look at the prisoner.
"lie is rather young," replied Uncle
.1 erry.
Aunt TSetty sighed niul said nothing
more. She didn't know whether or not
she'd tell the boy she pitied him.
There was something she did do when
she passed in the next meal, and she
couldn't help herself. She looked sor
rowful, and she asked the prisoner if
he had a mother. lie studied her face
for a moment and then answered that
be had.
At Aunt Hetty's next visit to the ceil
she carried two extra dishes not pro
vided for by the rates, and when the
prisoner bad thanked her he timidly
asked:
"Good woman, dare I ask you to
write to my mother for me?"
"If I write her she'll know you arc
in jail, and that will hurt her terri
bly."
"You must tell her. but you must tell
her that the whole world has been
against me. Nobody is willing to give
me :i show."
"You poor boy!" she pityingly said.
"They say I stole a watch from a
farmhouse, but I never, never did. A
tramp who came later took the watch."
"And didn't they get him?"
"No, and because they didn't they
arrested me and sent me here. I was
a poor boy. you see, and had no one to
befriend me."
"What a .shame! What a burning
shame! Why, the judge and jury
ought to be here in your place!"
"I want you to write to mother and
tell her so. 1 don't want her to think
I've become a wicked boy."
Uncle Jerry had to go out on busi
ness one afternoon and was not ex
pected home until 1) o'clock in the
evening. At G o'clock Aunt Betty pre
pared supper and Invited the prisoner
to sit at table with her. She reasoned
that it would uplift and make a man
of him. He ate a full meal, speaking
words of gratitude between mouth
fuls. and then rose up and took her
by the throat and banged her head
against the wall and took the prison
key off its nail and opened the door
to liberty. It was cold weather, but
he went without hat or coat.
It took Aunt Betty about ten min
utes to realize what had happened,
and then she ran to the street bare
headed—not to shout for help, how
ever. At a venture she turned to the
right and ran for her life dowu the
street and out in the country. Half a
mile from the jail she caught sight of
her "poor innocent boy." So did he
of her, and he legged It like a rabbit.
Over fences and across fields he led
her. but she was a hound on the trail
and ran him down at last
Then, as soon as she could get her
breath. Aunt Betty cuffed and wallop
ed and spanked and pulled hair until
that young man cried for mercy. On
the way back to jail he got a cuff
about once in every twenty feet, and
when he found himself once more in
his cell he was a thankful boy, indeed.
"Is everything all right?" asked
t'nele Jerry as he arrived home.
"Yes. all right," was the answer.
"I found out about that boy today,
lie's a tough one. He has no mother
and has been in jail about ten times.
He's a slick thief and the biggest liar
in the United States. I hope you
won't let him bamboozle you wirh his
talk and his tears."
"Jerry Stills, my name is Betty
hain't It?" asked the womau as she
drew herself up.
"I've alius s'posed so."
"Did you ever hear of a Betty letting
anything that walks on two legs bam
boozle her?"
"Can't say I ever did."
"And you never wllll"
