He Took No Chances.
In the public ward of a hospital two fellows were recovering from operations for appendicitis. A third patient was brought in from the table and placed in a cot between the nearly-weil boys. Coming out of the ether and recognizing earth again, he turned to the one on his left and said : “ How are you getting along, par ? ” “Fine till yesterday; but the doctor left a spool of cotton in me, and they opened me up again." The new patient sighed, then turned to the sick one on the right. “ Well, how are you old man ? ” “ Pretty good till yesterday ; but the doctor left his scissors in me, and they opened me up again.,’ Just then the door opened and the doctor came in exclaiming, “any body round here seen my hat ? ” The new patient jumped out of the window.
