Show Sad Fate of a Careful Man. I had a friend who did his dutv to hlm-pcVf hlm-pcVf and others with such zeal that ho nover went to bed without taking his temperature or got up without drinking a scientific decoction tho namo and composition compo-sition of which I havo forgotten: the Ha-vor, Ha-vor, however, was such as rendered the duty performed particularly meritorious. His dietary was based on the most scientific scien-tific principles; he weighed himself before and after each meal; he had his appendix removed, go as to avoid all risk of appendicitis, ap-pendicitis, and. In short, he so fully realized real-ized tho duty of being healthy and Ions lived that ho never had time to ao anything any-thing clso or talk about anything else. Unfortunately, he never took that fickle Jado "Fortuno" Into his calculations, and after only a year of striving most manfully man-fully to fulfill the duty of being long-lived long-lived ho slipped on a piece of orange pel and fractured tho base of his skull.
