GOODWIN'S WEEKLY 13 H
"I will do exactly as you say," said the now
thoroughly alarmed patient. "A am I eating too
heartily?"
"Much too heartily. You should eat simpler
food and not so much of it. If you follow my
advice you'll cut your butcher's and grocer's bills
Just about in half."
"I'll do it, doctor."
"You ought to take more exercise, too," con
tinued the physician. "How do you go to your
office now?"
"By bus."
"Stop it at once. You must walk to and from
your office every day, rain or sunshine. Do
you ever go to the theatre?"
"Quite often."
"You musn't do it, while you're under my care.
fHow about smoking?"
"I smoke, of course; but only in modera
tion." "Don't smoke at all," instructed the physician.
"Throw away all your cigars. Don't buy another
for thirty days, at least, or I'll give up the case."
"111 do it, doctor; but but "
"Do you drink?"
"Occasionally; but I "
"Stop it entirely."
"A little claret on the table now and then
ought not to "
"Not a drop at any time."
"All right, doctor. What next?"
"Nothing. Follow these instructions for thirty
days, and by that time "
"Yes?" said the patient, eagerly, "By that
time, what?"
"By that time," repeated the doctor, "you
ought to have saved enough to pay me the bal
ance due on that little bill you have owed me
. for a matter of eighteen months. Good day."
SONG.
By Alice Morgan Wright. "
I never knew till I knew you
That May was May or June was Juno,
Or if the sea were red or blue """
Beyond the dune.
i
I never knew that all this land
A garden was, till through the street
You came with roses in your hand
And 'neath your feet.
I never knew why men should kill
And burn and torture, day by day:
Myself I never knew, until
You went away.

A RIVER.
By Charlotte Becker.
A glimpse of the river it glimmers
Through the stems of the beeches;
Through the screen of the willows it shimmers
In low winding reaches;
Flowing sc softly that scarcely
It seeius to be flowing,
But the reeds of the low, little islands
Are bent to its going.
And soft as the breath of a sleeper
. Its hearing and sighing.
In the coves where the fleets of the lilies
At anchor are lying.
It looks as if fallen asleep
In the lap of the meadows, and smiling
Like a child in the grass, dreaming deep
Of the flowers and their golden beguiling.
A glimpse of the river it glooms
Underneath the black arches,
Across it the black shadow looms,
And the eager crowd marches,
Where, washing the feet of "the city,
Strong and swift it is flowing;
On its bosom the ships of the nations
Are coming and going.
Heavy laden, it labors and spends
In a great strain of duty
The power that was gathered and nursed
In the calm and the beauty.
Like thee, oh, my river, like thee,
May our lives in beginning and ending,
Fair in their gathering be
And great in the time of their spending.

MILD RESULT.
The courtroom was crowded. A wife was seek
ing divorce on the grounds of extreme -cruelty
and abusive treatment. Guns, axes, rolling pins
and stinging invectives seemed to have played
a prominent part in the plaintiff's married life.
The husband was on the stand undergoing
a gruelling cross-examination.
The examining attorney said: "You have
testified that your wife on one occasion threw
cayenne pepper in your face. Now, sir, kindly
tell us what you did on that occasion."
The witness hesitated and looked confused.
Every one expected that he was about to con
fess to some shocking act of cruelty. But their
hopes were shattered when he finally blurted
out:
"I sneezed!" Everybody's.
