Dr. Donelan, of St, Joseph, told the reporter of the Globe Democrat the following story. He said : “After the adjournment of a conyention a few years ago, Drs. Knight and Riley, of St. Joseph, started home in a sleeper. They had the lower berth end the weather was intensely hot. ‘Dr. Knight was a very small man; in fact a boy in stature. Dr. Riley was big and fat. Knight was given the inside ef the berth and went to sleep. Riley, with his load of avoirdupois, sat on the edge of the berth and fanned himself. At Herman a lady en- tered the car and asked for a berth. She was told that the car was full ont she insisted saying that she had set up with a sick daughter for five nights, and had to have sleep. Suddenly an idea struck Riley. “Take my, berth,’ he said. “There is only nim little boy in- side.’ Knight was sleeping peacefully and the lady “gladly | accepted Riley’s offer. About an hour later Kuight awoke and made a remark to whom he sup- posed was Riley. ‘Neyer mind, little boy, said the old lady, soothing, ‘pappy will be back pretty soon.’ A jittle later Knight ‘again began to talk and the old lady again attempted to lull him to sleep by promising pappay’s early return. But the little doc- tor thistime awoxe.

All the children except Nonie were going to play “menagerie.” Nonie wanted to sleep, but the others wished her to join in. Jack was to be a lion, he said. Tom wanted to represent a camel and the others all made choice. “Norie, what do you want to be?” Nonie drowsily answored, “Oh, I want to be a—a’— “Well, what isit?” impatiently yelped Jack.
