Later in the day one of the ladies noticed the boy sitting near a
stream with a woebegone expression on his face and his hands clasped
over his stomach.
"Why, what's the matter, Willie?" she kindly asked. "Haven't you had
enough to eat?"
"Oh, yes'm," said the boy. "I've had enough. I feel as though I
don't want all I've got."
_His Only Request_
A pretty young girl was walking through a Richmond hospital with
delicacies for the sick and wounded. She overheard a suffering young
Confederate officer say, "Oh, my Lord!"
Wishing to rebuke him slightly she came to his bedside and said:
"I think that I heard you call upon the name of the Lord. I am one of
His daughters. Is there anything that I can do for you?"
He looked upon the lovely face.
"Yes," he said, "please ask Him to make me His son-in-law."
A Good Majority
A well-known English surgeon was imparting some clinical instructions
to half a dozen students, according to "The Medical Age." Pausing at
the bedside of a doubtful case he said: "Now, gentlemen, do you think
this is or is not a case for operation?"
One by one each student made his diagnosis, and all of them answered
in the negative.
