T IF HUSTLER OF DECEMBER 12 1894
i HAM AND EGGS
The doctor was a genial, clever
soul, and his head and beard were
silvered with the cares of sixty
well spent years. He had admin
istered tenderly to the sick and
suffering for nearly forty years,
and the fact that very much of it
had been a task of love was evi
dent from the fact that he was a
poor man. He was in a reminiscent
mood t"at morning, as he told me
of bis early college life, and his
fine old eyes flashed with the mem
ories recalled of his youth.
“I never had but one experience
at body snatching while attending
the Medical college in this
state. We were a wild, rollicking
lot of fellows then, and none were
more ready or eager than myself
for a lark, but that night I was ef
fectually cured of any desire to
rob graves.
“A negro died in the city one
day and was buried in a cemetery
about two miles from the city. In
college there was a great big six
foot, 200 pound fellow, who was
generally disliked for his surly
temper. We boys determined to
put up a job on him, so persuaded
him to go with us. We started out
about 11 o’clock—half dozen of us
—and the night was intensely
dark. You know that was just
what we wanted, as it would help
our plans.
“That big rascal was an awful
coward, and that night he seemed
espec ally nervous. We got to the
cemetery, and after a little recon
noitering found the ,grave. Then
upon some pretext we sent that
big man and another one back to
town. That was where the plot
lay. As soon as the two were out
of sight they placed me in a sack,
and when the two returned they
were informed that the body was
ready, and that they would take it
turn about carrying it. It’s a won
der that our man didn’t notice my
absence, but I suppose he was too
much excited to do so.
“All of the boys were on to the
secret, and Blank was told to take
first turn. When we got fairly into
the road, I moved in the sack the
slightest bit—l was slung across
his shoulders. The fellow stopped
and cried out in a frightened voice :
“ ‘Say boys, this durned corpse
is moving! ’
“The gang guyed him unmerci
fully and he moved on. Then I
groaned. I could feel the poor devil
trembling in every limb, and he
said huskily:
“ ‘My God, it is alive!’
“The boys simulated fear, and
when I gave an unearthly moan,
the whole crowd broke and ran.
The fellow who was carrying me
dropped the sack in the road, near
ly breaking my back, and fled
down the road like forty demons
were after him.”
“There I lay securely tied up in
a sack and none of those villians
came back to let me out. Fortuna
tely I found,aftsr mush difficulty,
a small pen knife in my pocket,
and cut the bag open. Then I sneak
ed back to the college.
“But that was- n’t the end of the
affair. That poor fellow was taken
violently ill. and for many weeks
hovered between life and death.
All of the time he raved abent
graves and such things,You can
just bet we nursed him faithful
ly, and when he finally covered
you could not find a meeker or
milder man in the State. That ef
fectually cured me of each pranks.”
Gus Johnson is a genius when it
comes to tasty and catchy ads.
His show windows are always
neat and attractive, and ycu are
constantly looking for something
new. But he has fixed one now
that is the best yet. when you go
down the street take a peep.
I received the following commu.
nication this morning which ex
plains itself. Read and profit there

PROr. EVERETT.
Gave a Private Entertainment Last
Night-Tonight at Nevin’s
Last night in the parlors of the
Armstrong, Prof. S. A. C. Everett,
the gifted hypnotist gave a private
entertainment to a few friends.
He successfully mesmerized two
or three and showed plainly that
he possessed this power to a wonder
ful degree. Besides he gave a most
interesting talk upon hypnotism.
To-night he will give his first
public entertainment in Rome, at
Ntvin’s Opera House, and all who
attend may be assured of a pleas
ant and instructive evening. Prof.
Everett invites the close attention
of all thinking people, in order
that h< | may show conclusively
that there is nothing that smacks
of fraud in his performance.
He will be here three nights and
every one should go out and see
him. Reserved seats maybe had at
Yeisers. Price 50 cents.

Boston People to Build a Larg 3
Gotten Mill in Alabama.
Boston, Ma-«s., December 12
Dwight Manufacturing Company,
of this city, is to begin almost
immediately the building of a
$500,000 cotton mill on rhe South
ern end of Lookout mountain, in
Alabama. The exact, spot is Ala
bama City’ about four miles from
Gadsden. The mill will manu
facture coarse goods for export
and will have about 25,030 spin
dles. Ln output by pounds, it will
be equal to a northern mill of 50,-
000 spindles. Mr. Nichols, in speak
ing of the move, says it is made be
cause the company’s Chicopee
mills connot compete with those
of other states, owing to the restric
tive labor laws of Massachusetts.
Here the weekly limit is fifty-eight
hours against sixty and over eLie
where.

MAJOR BLACK HAS NOTHING TO SYA
Telegrams hav* been received
here to the effect that Tom Watson
was making propositions not to
run for congress again in the tenth
if Major Black would agree not to
run. Major Black, however, has
had no proposition, nor has he
heard anything definite. He nat
urally declines to say anything
about the matter.
