No Place for the Doctor.

A physician whose belief in the future accords with that of the late Col. Ingersoll had occasion recently to perform a surgical operation upon a man not select in his language. After etherizing his patient the operation was successfully performed. When the effect of the'ether had passed off, the subject, looking wlldlji around the room, exclaimed • “Where am I?” The doctor replied: “Oh, you are all right.” “But,” said the man, “I may be all right, but where am I?” The doctor answered jocularly: “In heaven.” The patient responded: “If that’s so, I’d like to know what you are doing here.”
