A Mind Reader.

Pat had got hurt —not much more that a scratch, it is true, but his employer had visions of being compelled to keep him for life, and had adopted the wise course of sending him at once to a hospital. After the house surgeon had examined him carefully, he said to the nurse: “As subcutaneous abrasion is not observable, I do not thing there is any reason to apprehend tegumental cicatrization of the wound.” Then, turning to the patient, he asked, quizzically: “What do you think, Pat?” “Sure, sir,” said Pat, “you’re a wonderful thought reader, doctor. You took the very words out of my mouth. That’s what I was going to say.”— Current Literature.
