Trapping a Professor by Wire.
In West Virginia Mountains
Among some intensely amusing
college scrapes told by k: A Gradu
ate,” in the September Ladies’:
Home Journal, is the story of a j
certain professor, not much liked i
by his pupils, who was to be mar- |
ried. The lady .lived in Cleveland. |
And the students that loved (?)
him were not, of course, invited.
But they determined that in some
way ho should hear from them.
And he did. On the day appoint
ed the professor took the train at
10 A. M., due to arrive at Cleve
land at 12:80 P. M. About eleven
o’clock Jim Townsend rushed to
the telegraph office and sent off
this dispatch:
“Chief of Police, . Cleveland
Ohio. Man coming on train No.
6, tall, well dressed, frock coat,
silk hat, side whiskers. Escaped
lunatic. Hold! Shrewd, there
fore beware I Strange case. Will
say name Finalli. Mistake.
Thinks he is Professor in a college.
Delusion. Escort to home of
friends at No.—Euclid Avenue.”
This message reached its desti
nation long before train No. 6
reached Cleveland, so that when
Professor Finalli alighted it was
to walk straight into ■ the custody
of three detectives. They would
listen to no words of reason, but
escorted him out to the house on
Euclid Avenue, the home of his
intended bride.

A surgical operation-'Tequiring
rare delicacy and skill was per
formed in New York the other
day. A man’s skull was opened
and a clot of blood removed from
the right side of the firain. His
entire right side and leg had been
paralyzed. Two days after the
removal of the blood clot the man
could move his leg. Gradually
the paralysis left him and he was
able to walk. His speech had
been impaired to such an extent
that he could barely talk. At
last accounts he was able to make
himself understood fairly well.

Way back in the mountains of :
West Virginia,a Presbyterian min- i
ister some time ago fell in with
some people who seemed to be'
well fitted for the missionary ef
forts on which he was bent. He !
had been riding nearly all day, j
and late in the afternoon came!
upon a cabin set in the midst of a
woodland. Near the door was a :
spare, straight-haired woman, who i
gazed at him curiously. The min- i
ister spoke to her courteously and !
made some inquiries regarding the j
neighborhood. Her husband was;
a hunter, the wpman said
“And is he a God-fearing man?”
asked the preacher.
“I reckon so,” came the slow 1 ;
reply, “’cause he always takes his
gun with him.”
The visitor hastily changed the
subject and inquired if there were
any Presbyterians in the neigh
borhood. A ■ ’ ,
“I dunno,” said the woman
simply; “but there’s a lot of skins
hanging up in the cabin: you can
look at them and see if you can
find any.”

What a splendid type of tirelese
activity is the sun as the psalmist
describes it issuing like “a bride
groom from his chamber and re
joicing like a strong man to run a
race.” Everyman ought to rise
in the morning refreshed by slum
ber and renewed by rest, eager for
the struggle of the day. But how
rarely this is so. Most people rise
still unrefreshed, and dreading
the strain of the day’s labors.
The cause of this is deficient vi
tality and behind this lies a defi
cient supply of pure, rich blood,
and an inadequate nourishment
of the body. There is nothing
that will give a man strength and
energy, as will Dr. Pierce’s Gold
en Medical Discovery. It does
this by increasing the quantity
and quality of, the blood supply.
This nourishes the nerves, feeds
the brain, builds up enfeebled or
gans, afcd gives that sense of
strength and power which makes
the struggle of life a joy. The
“good feeling” which follows the
use of “Golden Medical Discov
ery” is not due to stimulation as
it contains no alcohol, whisky or
other intoxicant. It does not
brace up the body, but builds it
up into a . condition of sound
health.
