A Surprise
Bv MARTIN BRADFORD
1 am a college professor and add to
ruy income by lectures on astronomy
One November day I started to walk
from the town of A., whore 1 had
just given a lecture, to the town of B .
whore 1 was to give one that nUht.
The weather ^as lndiau summer ami
de.ichtful. Some of the trees were late
in shed line their lea* e<. and the woods
were here and t here still decorated
with patches of scarlet, brown and
deep green.
On emerging from a cut through

house beside tbe road and ministered"
to inv wants. 1 told him that 1 was
very much troubled at the prospect of
Hot Ix'iiig a Mo to keep my engagement
to lecture, and in order to help me out
of the difficulty, since he was going to
It., he offere 1 to call on the manager of
the course and explain my unfortunate
1 position. 1 told him to say that past
exiwienoe had taught me that 1 would
not be "We to lecture the same night j
even if I were able to get to 15.. but the
lecture might, be put off till the next ;
evening or such time as 1 had recover
ed. lie promised to bear my message,
but put a damper on my anticipation
by asking for a small loan. I gave him
what he asked.
I In the course of a few hours 1 fell
I so much better that I made a bargain
. with tbe farmer with whom 1 was
Kxlged to hitch up a team and drive nu
? into It. 1 would reach the town too i
late for the lecture, but that would
have >>een |K>stponed anyway.
On driving into 11.. which I reached :
alvut half an hour after the hour set
for the lee' .re. I was surprised to see
the hall in which it was to be given j
tr.umiuat.il I a- Red the farmer to pull
1 up. 1 got otit and entered the hall,
j To say I was as?o;iishcd eonxeys
little Idea of my condition. There on
the rostrum was the man who had 1
taken my message, speaking easily and
gracefully on the solar system. In :
short, he was delivering my lecture.
1 nt so much more easily and graceful
ly than 1 could have done it. so en- |
riched with entertaining facts and j
with so much poetic inspiration, that 1 I
sank into a back seat and listened j
spellbound.
No oue present had ever seen me
Tlie man bad palmed hitu?elf off for
tup and was speaking for me far better
than 1 could have spoken for myself.
YVlien he came out I joined him. He
felt very uneasy and drew me aside
s quickly as possible to tell me that
he had tint l>oen paid for the lecture
:.nd had no idea of perpetrating a
swindle.
He turned out to be an Oxford grad
uate who had come to America and
rrot run down. 1 took him with me to
my ivllepe and succeeded in getting
Itim a chair which for awhile he tilled
i ably. r>nt there was a screw loose in
him. One day be disappeared, and 1
never beard from him again.
Faith In Medicine.
That the negro loves to be considered
in iil health and thus attract attention
to himself N well kuown to those who
live in t'ae south and are well acquaint
ed with the race. By a certain conse
quence of this they will all take modi

a young man had been 111 for some
weeks, and his uegro servant wasclean
ing up the room one morning. Notic
ing several bottles of medicine only
partly used, which were put nslde to
be thrown away, the negro remarked:
"Mr. Willie, gimme dat medicine. 1
ain't? er? been feellu' well er bit late

"What is the matter?" he was asked.
"1 don't know whut de matter Is, but
if de medicine is any erconnt lilt will
