Simple, Confiding Man.
" One of the most remarkable cases of faith I have ever seen," said a well-known physician recently, " occurred when I was a student. I had a patient, an Irishman, who had a broken kg. When the plaster bandage was removed, and a lighter one put in its place, I noticed that one of tho pins went in with great difficulty, and I could not understand it. A week afterwards, in removing the pin, I found that it had stuck hard and fast, aud I was forced to remove ifc with forceps. Whab was my astonishment on makiug an examination to find that the pin had been run through the skin twice instead of through the cloth. " • Why, Pat,' ssid I, ' didn't you know that pin was sticking in you ? ' 414 To be shure I did,' replied Pat, 4 bnt I thought you knowed your business, and bo I held me tongue.'"
