Mr.. Cooley (says the Philadelphia Bulettn) |
suffered good deal last winter from rhcuma- |
tism in his breast, and his wife was badly fright
ened about it, for fear it should end in con-
sumption. Cooley could not be induced to try
any remedy for the trouble, and Mrs. Cooley
was nearly worried to death about 1t. At last
she determined to try strategy. She made up q
dry mustard plaster, and one night while he was
asleep she scwcd it upon the inside Of his UNDER
shirt, so that it would just about cover the
rheumatic place. Cooley dressed himself In the
morning, wholly unconscious Of the presence OF
the plaster, aud went downstairs. At the
breakfast table, while he was talking to his wife,
he suddenly stopped, looked cross eyed, and
spasm of pain passed over his face. Then he
took up the thread OF the conversation again
and went on. He was In the midst Of an e1-
PLANTATION Of the political situation, when all at
once he ceased again, grew red in the lace, and

Cooley said:
i!Oh, it's that Internal old rheumatism again

oS Then Mr. Cooley began again, and was just
showing her how the rayages OF the grasshop-
pcrs in the West last summer and the potato
