"A PRIMER OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL."—By W. H. Lewis.—16mo, Paper, 75 Cents.
The Graduate.
Some people are a bit thick-headed. The following has been communicated by a doctor in an extensive Highland parish:
One morning he received a letter from a remote corner of his parish, written by a man who stated that he was unwell and would like to be prescribed for. He was sorry he could not come to the hospital himself, on account of the distance. The physician was rather puzzled at this request, so he wrote, saying it was much more satisfactory to see the patient; but if he could not possibly come, it was necessary at least to send some account of his symptoms. Next morning's mail brought the man's photo, which happened to have been taken twenty years before.
