THE JOKE MEDICAL
Howard's father is a physician, and one day when the doctor was out Howard and a little playmate were ' playing doctor ' in the real doctor's office. Presently Howard threw open a closet door and revealed an articu lated skeleton to the terrified gaze of his playmate, but Howard himself was perfectly calm. ' Pooh, Walter,' he said to his playmate, what you 'fraid of? It's nothing but an old skellington I' . ' Wh-wh-where did it come from?' asked Walter, with chattering teeth. . ' Oh, I don't know. Papa has had it a long time ; I guess likely it was his first patient.'
