(Concluded from page one.) .Former Ambulance Surg-eon llelates Amusing incident at Ilolly lun. "The sad side, of course, predominates in this work," said a former ambulance surgeon, at The Holly luu the other evening, "but there is often a tinge of real humor connected with it, neverthe less. "One night in answering a 'hurry call' 1 found a Jewess weighing something less than a ton, seated on a lounge, be cause the chairs all had arms, in the back part of third avenue drug store, and from her actions she had about twenty seconds to live. "1 examined her carefully and diag nosed her case as some hysteria and a good deal of affectation. I tried to get her name, but she was too weak to give it, and as a starter I suggested that unless she could give her name it would be im possible for me to take her to the hospital. With the assistance of this information she managed to whisper (Jlebecca.) .lust then the driver came in and asked if he should bring the stretcher, and 1 told him no ; that 1 guessed the patient could walk. Bebeeca evidently under stood me to say that 1 was not going to take her and when 1 turned toward her 1 found that she had fallen to the floor, taking care to do the act so as not to hurt herself, and was lying Hat on her back suffering untold agony. "The opportunity was ripe for a final test, so 1 bent over and said firinly, 'Come, Itebecea, get up and come to the ambulance with me, or 1 shall have to go away and leave you here " "Itebecea promptly rose and walked to the ambulance. W hen she reached the hospital she walked up stairs and was undressed and put to bed in charge of a nurse, but no special treatment was pre scribed. "llebecca evidently thought she was being neglected, and presently she tum bled out of bed, taking care not to hurt herself in doing so. The nurse tried to lift her back, but it was no use, so she called in another nurse and the two tug ged away for a while, but finally had to give it up and summon one of the ward men, and it was about all the three could do to replace the helpless Itebecea in bed. Ten minutes later Itebecea had an other spasm and fell on the floor very carefully. The lifting process was re peated, and no sooner had the company dispersed than Itebecea had a third tit. "By this time the exercise act with Itebecea had ceased to be a joke, so the nurse reported to the matron. The ma tron consulted my card and rinding only the single word "hysteria" decided to try an experiment. She walked in and gave verbal orders, in ltebecca's hearing, to roll the patient up in a blanket as she lay on the floor, put a pillow under her head and let her lie there, for fear she "might hurt herself." "The nurse carried out the instructions and ten minutes later quietly Itebecea rose and got into bed, and she managed to remain there the rest of the night, de parting after breakfast the next morning." He If she is a girl of ideas, as you say, why docs she conceal them? She She wants to get married. The Full Program of the Seasons Stated Tournaments.

Pinehurst has its third golf course, en tirely private in its character and ex ceedingly exclusive and limited in its membership. At present the active mem bers include Master IMchard Tufts and Corydon Ashby, with little Miss Esther Tufts on the honorary list. It is not the purpose of the promoters to make an active effort to increase the membership, but they would consider applications of the right character. "The course' says Master Ashby, "starts back of ltichard's house, and runs through the woods up towards The Caro Una. At present we've only got 'leven holes, but there's room enough for eighteen and some dandy hazards, one of which I guess it would take as much as a hundred strokes to get out of if you ever got in. "Then there are some pretty good bunkers, but best of all the whole thing is all our own, and we laid it out all by ourselves. Mrs. W. Edward Scott Sing's.

Dr. Cooke says that the common nighthawk spends the summer in Alaska and the winter in Patagonia. The bobolink, which is the reed bird of the Middle States and the rice bird of the South, winters on the waving pampas of Southern Brazil. It covers 700 miles from Cuba to the South American coast in a single flight, following a track not popular with other birds, which might be called the bobolink route Saturday Evening Post. Success Assured. Old Lawyer "How are you getting along ?" Young Lawyer "I have one client." Old Lawyer "Is he wealthy V" Young Lawyer "He was,"
