The Cure Was Effected.

“How did you get your eyes blacked, Bingley ?” “Why, a fellow was walking in front of me a while ago, with an awful case of hiccoughs. I thought it was my brother and hit him on the back to relieve him. Then he seemed to think I was similarly afflicted and hit me in the eye. But I have one consolation.” “What’s that?” “I cured him of the hiccoughs.”— Nebraska State Journal.
