in 1910, where a young man, named
Thomas Ford, aged about twenty-thres
wears, who had lived without food or
water for thirty-nine days. Ward was
taken i'll, and was unable to swallow
either solids or liquids. All the physi-
clans in the country roundabout were
called in, but they were unable to al
ford even the slightest relief. The
young man continued in the same con-
dition for thirty. nine days suffering all
the paDgs Of hunger and thirst.
On the evening Of the thirty-ninth day
he took his sisters hand in his, and
remarked that she would not have to
watch him much longer. When she
INQUIRED whether he felt worse, he an
swered that he felt no worse than he
had for several days past, but that no
man had ever tasted forty days but our
Saviour, and no man ever would. He
died that evening, leaving a request
that there be a post-nortem held for
the benefit Of science, as he did not
want others to suffer as he had done.
The examination was made, and the
physicians found the entrance to the
stomach closed up completely by q

s.rae,d,s Chances I'm Michigan

Gnrfield's Chances I'm Michigan
Representative Millets, Of Michigan,
who is in Washington, says that the
Republicans of Michigan will roll up
an immense majority for Garfield and
villIcarry a solid delegation to Congress,
that the Democrats are disappointed in
Hancock, as he is not representative
man Of Democratic principles, and he
was not hero enough in the Rebellion
to make him first olass military can
didate. He says that Garfeld's early
western life, where as poor young BOY
he struggled against all odds in making
a career for himself, takes the Michigan
ropular sentiment, as theirs is perhaps
not a prominent man in the State Re-
publican or Democrat, who does not
know how it was himself, and they
find a responsive sentiment OF sym
pathy and admiration. He thinks, when
the campaign fairly opens, the people
will be surprised at the Republican,
enthusiasm, and that Garfield will
carry the entire West by storm.
