PLAsTERISG THE WRONG MAx.-It
was a very embarrassing circumstance,
and it happened at hotel in Mt Yer
nou. A man and his wife were stop
ping there. The man was subject to fever
attacks OF collie, and was taken sick
there in the night. He told his wife
that lie must have immediate relief or
he could not live, and thought mus
tard draft would relieve him. She
hastily robed herself, went down stairs
and found the watchman, who admitted
her to the dining room, and she spread
the mustard frcn the castor on her
handkerchief and hastened uD stairs.
Finding the door ajar she rushed in,
turned down the bed clothes and slapp-
ed the mustard draft on the unconscious
mans bowels. He instantly sprang up
in bed, and in strange voice said: "My
God! Madam, what are you doingi She
had got it on the wrong man. We
leave the reader to imagine her feelings.
She fonnd her own room, and in accents
of horror told her husband the facts.
The extreme righteousness of the Incl
dent set him into an inordinate fiji Of
laughter that relieved hin as thorough
ly as the mustard plaster would have
done. Very early the next morning,
before many Of the guests were up, u
man and woman. trunk, bandboxes, etc,
might have been seen leaving the hotel,
for the woman's name was on the hand
kerchief.
