THE TEST OF REAL SUFFERING.
First Patient (in the hospital): *We was warming the dynamite on the fire and that was the last thing I knew until some one asked me if I could pick my arms out of the pile. It’s tough to go through the world without arms. Second Patient : ‘ I left my legs about four miles from Squeedonk in a railroad wreck. I laid there four hours before the doctor came. Third Patient (feebly) : ‘ Have either of yon gentlemen ever had the grip ?’
Discerning Child (who has heard some remarks by papa) : ‘ Are you our new nurse?’ Nurse : ‘Yes, dear.’ Child : * Well, then. I am one of those boys who can only be managed by kindness ; so you had better get some sponge cake and oranges at once.'
