Two of a Kind.

In a certain Cincinnati theater the house physician receive'* a seat for each performance, since he fa supposed to be on hand each evening. Naturally, the plays sometimes pail on the doctor, and he longs for a change—hence this story. One evening a stare hand hastily ran to the front and down the aisle to the doctor’s seat. He whispered in the ear of the occupant. "Hurry back nt once. Doc. The leading lady has had an attack." The man in the seat followed the stage man somewhat reluctantly. "In the dressingroom of the leading lady, Doctor!’’ wai’ed one of the actresses, wringing her hands. "Have you poured water on her head?” solemnly asked the doctor. "Yes: a whole bucketful—but in our excitement we got hold of the one marked 'Not to be used except In case of Are.’" “I fear you have made a fatal error," said the doctor. Then he scribbled something on a bit of paper. “Take this to the drugstore and get it filled.” When the leading lady found herself alone with the doctor, she opened her eyes. "Doctor,” she gasped, "you’re « good fellow, aren’t you? I know you are aware that there’s nothing the matter with me. I want a day off, and I don’t want to go on in this act. Can you fix It?” "You bet I can ” said the doctor, wringing her hand, sympathetically. "I ain’t no doctor. I came in on his ticket.”
