Show Joke on the Doctor. The physicians in Mankato had agreed that during their Chautauqua assembly they, would employ a call boy, and each was to pay his share of the expense. This boy was to call any doctor who was wanted, without disturbing the speaker, as it was embarrassing em-barrassing to him and looked as If they were doing it to advertise without with-out expense. So it all went well until the afternoon when Strickland W. Gil-lila.nd Gil-lila.nd spoke. As he was talking away a certain doctor had a call from the platform, and he walked out rather ostentatiously. Some of the people who knew of the arrangement laughed or snickered, and the speaker got it. He said. "Don't laugh, folks. That is the way my brother got his start." And everybody roared. |
