The Doctor’s “Assistant.”
London Chrintiun World.
lie was only h small buy and bin
mother wan very, very ill. What made
it worse was that the kinc) nurae who
looked after her said he had better not
Ko into her room for fear of disturbing
her, and so he had to play about the
backyard and to feel sorry and lonely,
for he had no company except his big,
white, lop-eared rabbit, with pink eyes.
He wished very much to help his dear
mother, so of course he prayed and
■isked God to make her better. Then
suddenly he thought of something that
might perhaps do her good, and would
at least Bho.w that he felt for her. And
that is what thiB tale is about. While
the nurae was down in the kitchen at-'
tending to a saucepan, he got some
thing out of the backyard, and very
quietly he tiptoed up the stairs to his
mother’s room. He opened the door
very gently, and there was his mother
looking weak and white and ill, but she
managed to turn her head on the pillow
and say, "Hello, little man!" The lit
tle man smiled back and said, "Hello,
mother dear! 1 must whisper because
of the nurse. But I’m sorry because
you are ill, and I want to comfort you.
And please, mother dear, 1 've brought
you my white rabbit, and you can have
it to play with."
And he pulled the white rabbit from
behind him and held it up by its ears,
and when it had kicked twice and
screwed itself different ways, he put it
on the counterpane and run away.
Never mind what the nurse said when
she found the white rabbit in the bed.
She said, "Bless the hoy!" and then
she said something else as well, hut
that doesn't matter. Not long after
the white rabbit was safe aguin in his
hutch the doctor called and said to the
little boy’s mother, "I.et me feel your
pulse." When the doctor had felt it,
be said to the nurse, “Why, your pa
tient is better. She has been roused
and pleased in some way. That is just
what 1 wanted. She has taken the turn,
and I think she'll do now. What has
happened?" Nurse told him about the
rabbit, and he laughed; and when he
went downstairs he called for the boy
and patted him on the head harder than
ae liked and said, "Well done, my boy!
1 wish 1 had j'ou for an assistant, ’ ’
And he took him for a ride in his motor
ear, which pleased both of them, and
he promised one day to take the white
rabbit as well.

Tablets and they did her so much good

How Some Men Treat their Wives
If there is any person we despise it
is the man who doles out money to his
wife as if she were a pauper and not a
partner in his earnings. And yet there
are many such men everywhere. They
want to be economical, and 'hey be
come brutes. There is no more pitiful
sight than to see such a man drive in
from the country with his wife. If it is
winter he wears a heavy overcoat. She
wears a thin shawl. The horses are
fat and well cared for. The chil
dren are thin and half clothed. He re
fuses the pitiful sum necessary for a
new dress, but goes into the grocery
store and lays in a supply of tobacco.
When we see such a couple in town
we say to ourselves, "God have mercy
on that woman.” The man who re
fuses the money his wife needs and who
spends it upon things of less importance
is a more despicable thief than he who
extracts a fat pocketbook from the
picket of some well-to-do man. We
know of no more exasperating spectacle
than to see the wife of a man in com
fortable circumstances asking for ten
cents with which to buy necessities.
You cannot excuse such meanness by the
plea that woman does not take care of
money.. It is her husband's fault if
she does not know how. How can she
learn to take care of what she has
never had? Such meanness in business
circles would be hooted everywhere. In
a partnership heween men such a state
of affairs would not be tolerated. Just
because the member of a firm is elected
business manager and treasurer, that
does not give him the right to appro
priate all the money - not by any
means. But just because one of the
partners in the marriage contract is
always a woman, the other member of
the firm seems to think that all the
profits of the concern- belong to him
alone. Give the woman a chance to
show how economical she is and you
will not only be just as well off in the
| end, but both will be infinitelv happier.

Headache and Nervousness Cured.
"Chamberlain's Tablets are entitled
to all the praise 1 can give them,”
writes Mrs. Richard Olp, Spencerport,

ache and nervousness and restored me
to my normal health." For sale by all

"Nobody can git any water by break-

HMr. Cox, a Jhotel proprietor, had
among his colored servants a woman
named Esther Dodge, and this name
continued on the pay-roll long after
Esther had taken unto herBelf a better
half.
One morning Mr. Cox called Esther
to him and suggested a change on the
pay-roll by giving the woman the
name she had a right to be known by.
The woman listened quietly to the
proposal and then turned to go.
“Why, Esther,” said her employer,
"I do not know your husband’s name.
Tell me before you go. ” .
Esther stood for some little time in
an attitude of profound thought, her
dusky hand across her swarthy brow,
and at last exclaimed:
"My lands, boss!—1 jes’ can’t 'mem
ber dat nigger’s name, nohow!”
“Why do you call so often on Miss
Haughty these evenings? You never
did it before.”
“I know, but she has such freezing
manners.”
