Fill or Cure.
.The meanest man in America lately engaged a physician to attend his wife, who was seriously, ill. The meanest man's reputation was so bad that the doctor asked him, "Will you ever pay me?"
"I will give you my note," said the man,"and to assure you payment I will make it payable kill or cure." The lady died. The note became due. but the mean man would not pay. At laa the doctor brought suit. The judge scanned the note, found it exact and perfect in detail, and asked the defendant if he knew of any reason whyjudgment should not be given against him. The old man rose, and said that he had no attorney to represent him, for the reason that he did not think it necessary; that he only wanted to ask the plaintiff two questions. The court agreeing, he said to the doctor : "Did you cure my wife?" "No," said the doctor; "that was impossible !" "Did you Mil her?" The doctor collapsed.
