“Yes,” he said, “please ask Him to make me His son-in-law.”
A Good Majority
A well-known English surgeon was imparting some clinical instructions to half a dozen students, according to “The Medical Age.” Pausing at the bedside of a doubtful case he said: “Now, gentlemen, do you think this is or is not a case for operation?”
One by one each student made his diagnosis, and all of them answered in the negative.
“Well, gentlemen, you are all wrong,” said the wielder of the scalpel, “and I shall operate to-morrow.”
“No, you won’t,” said the patient, as he rose in his bed; “six to one is a good majority; gimme my clothes.”
Ready to Accommodate Her
Attorney-General Moody was once riding on the platform of a Boston street car, standing next to the gate that protected passengers from cars coming on the other track. A Boston lady came to the door of the car, and, as it stopped, started toward the gate, which was hidden from her by the men standing before it.
“Other side, please, lady,” said the conductor.
He was ignored as only a born-and-bred Bostonian can ignore a man. The lady took another step toward the gate.
