In and Out.

A prominent physician tn Baltimore recently perpetrated a witticism at his own expense. It was late at night. The doctor had lost bls night key; the door was locked, and the more he ranff the night bell the more the suspicion grew In bls mind that some one had chloroformed the entire household. Finally, bow’ever, his sister was aroused by a long ring of the bell. Naturally she thought that there was some one at the door who wished to see the doctor ahd that, as the doctor was out, she would herself have to answer the summons, else the caller would keep her awake for a long time. So, hastily throwing a loose gown over her nightdress, she hurried to the door. Opening the door the least bit, in order not to present her dishabille to an intruding eye, she shouted through the crack In r tone of sleepy impatience “The doctor’s out,” and was about to close the door when the physician thrust one foot through, at the same time exclaiming: “Yes, I know the doctors out, but bo wants to get in!”—Harper's Weekly.
