my old enemy, Mr.. Rheumatism,
pounced on me so suddenly. He ar
rived last Friday, and, without stop

grasped me by the hand with such a
grip that in a few hours my hand and
wrist we're 10 badly swollen and painful
that felt as though one Of Mr.. Hatch's
coal teams had run over me. Mr..
Rheumatism has been constant Wis
itor OF mine for several years; always
swells and puts on great many airs
and makes himself at home, devouring
my substance and leaving me poor In
flesh and pocket. Last winter he came
and staid two months then made up
my mind that tn next time he came
would change his diet, as he always
gobbled down everything set before
him. I was somewhat at loss what to
feed him with, but finally concluded to
give him three square meals day of
st. Jacobs Oil-morning, noon and
night. This fare he is disguised with,
and is packing up his trunk and will
leave by tomorrow or next day says
he cannot stop any longer as he has
pressing business elsewhere. He is a
treacherous fellow, and have no doubt
he intends visiting some Of our Salem
friends; il he does just give him the
same fare that did and he won't stop
long. j. s. LEFAvoUR.
