WORSE THAN HIS DOSES.
Thejdoctors of Detroit don’t take a Joke as kinkly as they might. The other evening a citizen of Woodward avenue went a block out of his way to put his head into a doctor’s office and call out: ‘ Man at the corner of Woodward avenue and Elizabeth street got a bad fit!’ The doctor put on his hat and hastened to the corner indicated, hoping that he might not be too late to save human life. There was no crowd and no excitement, and as the M.D. leaned against the lamp-post to catch his breath he saw a man sitting on the curbstone bathing his foot with cold water. The boot which he had drawn off stood beside him, and the man was saying : ‘Blast that shoemaker ; blast that boot—ah—yes, blast ’em ?’ It was a bad fit. After two or three minutes the doctor saw that it was. What his thoughts were no one will ever know, but as a boy came near, running a velocipede against him, he growled out: ‘ About ten thousand men in this town ought to be taken out and shot!’
