Silly Billy from Bolton.

In a certain town in the north of England there is a man known by the name of Silly Billy. Not feeling well one day, he sent for the doctor. After examination the doctor asked him if he would take a note to the Model lodging house and he would give him sixpence. So Billy, not liking to refuse, said he would.’ 0 But on the way there he came across a street sweeper that he knew. He told the sweeper where he was going, but he said if he- would take the note he would give hi mthreepence. So off hb went and gave the landlord the note, and he found the following written: “Give this man a bath and keep him in till to-morrow morning, and I will call and see him.” So the following morning the doctor came and was shown into his room. Looking at the man, he exclaimed: “This is not the man I sent!” . “No, it’s not, and I'll pound Silly Billy’s head off when I see him!” the ■weeper replied.—London Telegraph.
