Poor Papa’s Poor Patients, Here is a little story of a little girl, the daughter of a local physician of credit and renown: She is a bright child of six and has been much petted by her admiring friends. Perhaps this has spoiled her a little, but she is so sweet and enter- taining that visitors can’t keep their hands off of her. One of these visitors, a new neigh- bor, made a call on the little maid's mother, and it was but a few mo- ments before the little maid was on ber lap. In the chatter which followed the lady made some allusion to the little one’s grandmother. “Why, didn’t yu know?” cried the child. “Know what, r?” said the visitor. “Wh answered the child, “grand- ma is dead, and grandpa is dead, and Aunt Jane is deid—and most all of papa’s patients are dead, toel”—Cleve- land Plain Dealer. — ee DEALS IN REPTILES:| Mrs, Masall, the Champion Snake Hunter of America. hes Rattlers, But | riving Business She Not Only Also Does a as a Whelesale Dealer in Serpent Poisons, siul snake hunter} ates is woman, She lives near Lex- a ter the The most the United I Masa ington, Oklahc Wichita mounte suc n a y, in At one t Masall was a per- former in a ci Her face be- came disfigure dentally, so she left the c s and took up the busi- ness of su g snakes to snake charmers, § s and curators of} museums.
