R RESTORED TO LIFE,

From The Joplin mo. D1ily Ucrah.1
From lady who arrived at the
st. James Hotel Saturday from the
central portion of Arkansas we learn
tho particulars of an affair which
possesses many features of interest
and to tho medical profession in
particular. The lady loft her homo
at the beginning of the recent cold
snap, with the intention of coming
to Joplin, and there being no other
conveyance was compelled to make
the entire trip by stage. The only
passenger in the stage with her was
man very thinly clad. While
crossing the Boston Mountains he
complained very much of the cold !;
and in fact the weather was re-
markably cold, oven for the top of
those mountains. After a while
he apparently fell asleep. Arriving
ut the station on the north side of
tho mountains, the driver attempted
to awaken the passenger. but to his
horror found him frozen stiff and
apparently dead. He was taken
out Of tho hack and placed in q
room, which was rather cold though
not rs low as the freezing point by
several degrees. Tho lady remained
ut the station until next day, and
just rs she was preparing to resume
her journey was surprised to learn
that signs of life had been detected
in the supposed dead man, who was
to have been buried that afternoon.
Truo enough, signs of life
were plain to be observed, and by
lively rubbing with fannels saturat~
od with wihisI1oy for about an hour
he was able to speak. When tho
lady left he was fast recovering
from his stupor, and she had no
doubt by this time he has fully re-
covered. Had he continued in that
condition three hours longer, he
would doubtless have been buried,
as all thought he was dead. Being
placed in room of just the right
temperature no doubt assisted his
recovery.
RELICS or win P.1SsING AWAT.
Old ST had been sitting by the fire
in brown study.
''De relicks oh de wah am slowly
