The Result.

Greene —Why did they discharge the messenger boy? Brown—Well, you see, Dr. Bungle sent him to the drug store with a prescription, and on his way there Scribbles, the author, gave him a poem to take to The Daily Bugle. The boy got the two mixed and Bungle’s patient received such a mixture that he died. Greene—What became of the prescription? Brown—Oh, it was printed as Scribble’s poem and made such a hit that he got SSOO for it, and the paper signed a contract to take all he can write for a year at $lO a line.—Cleveland Leader.
