FIVE MINUTES OF SUSPENSE.
The Hell That Two Women Waited
for with Anxiety.

"All women are alike in their fear OF
the cars" said an Illinois Central con.
ductor. They carry their caution to alb
surd extremes That reminds ne of a
little story. Down in the southern part
cfthe State We have up at road crossings
some of the old-fashioned signs, Look
out for the cars when the bell rings At
one efthe crossings the other day two
women came up. driving an old horse
hitched to buggy. They looked all
about and couldn't see any cars, but hap
pened to read the sign. Stop, said one.
i hear bell.' They both listened, and
sure enough they heard bell tinkling.
One OF the women got out and amid
considerable excitement took hold of the
horses bride. The other one tightened
her grip on the lines set her Jaws and
prepared for the worst. They looked
anxiously up the track for the train, but
still co1ldn't see it, though they could
hear the bell little palmer than before.
They waited and waited. Five minutes
passed, then ten, and still no train. The
old horse went to sleep, while the WON.
ems nerves from long straining threaten
ed to throw them into mysteries. Nearer
and nearer came the bell against which
the sign warned them, and 50 they stood
still.
I'm about quarter of an hour an old
brindle COW came walking down the past
ure by the side of the track, chewing her
cud and monotonouly jingling her bell.
One ofthe women cried from nervous

railroad company and said they were

q PITIFUL FATE.
Him I'm An Insane Asylum. The
story Of His Escape.
To the Editor of the Milwaukee Sentinel:

To the Editor of the Milwaukee Sentinel:
SIR | have read good many stories
of late concerning the confinement OF
sane persons in lunatic asylums, and Il
am thereby prompted to relate bite of
personal experience.
In the year 1856, while was serving
the Methodist Episcopal church in a
New England town, neighbors house
took fire. In common with others, |
stood on the edge of the roof, passing
buckets of water, exposed TO iRtense
heat on one side and freezing winds on
the other. ] took fearful cold. For
twenty-five years it worked havoc in
my physical and mental systems. New
ertheless, | continued in my minister
ial duties. preached many Il sermon
when suffering intense agony. AT GER
tain periods, however, | would be com
paratively well, and then again my head
would get heavy, my breathing labored.
my appetite tickle. | would lose inter-
est in lie; feel sleepy at midday. and
wakeiul at midnight. My heart occa-
sionally gave me great concern. Not
knowing to the contrary, | attributed
| this i'll feeling 10 malaria. But eyen'u-
| ally mental strength faded away, and |
was utterly prostyated. was cauteiized,
| cuppe1, blistered, and treated by many
physicians in many different ways.
My case was puzzle as much TO my
| physicians rs to myself For one of
them at first prescribed for delrium
tremens, and yet | never rad tasted in.
toxicating liquors. Another said had
brain disease, another spinal difficulty,
another nervous prostration, heart dis
ease, etc.
My mind eventually gave way, and in
1882 ! was confined III the Brattleboro,
VT, Insane Asylum for six months.
When ! knew where | was, demanded
instant release. l then made visit to
Oceanic. n. j., but had reckoned too
much on my strength. again lost my
reason for a considerable period.
That | was in a desperate condition is
evident. NY blood had become infect
ed with virus, which inhamed my brain
occasionally and doomed me to an early
death; for no physician gave me any
hope of a cure. l finally found out what
my real disorder was, and undertook
my own treatment. In few months !
was restored to such a state of health as
| never expected TO enjoy. That was
over three years ago, and my physical
and mental health have remained intact
to this day.
Last March came west, and engag.
ed in garden farming. In all that time
] have not lost days work; have ap-
parently enjoyed the most vigorous
health and l expect to live the full term
of life. The remedy used was warmers
safe cure. and if | should live thousand
years ! should never tire of telling its
praises.
You will confess with me, Mr.. Editor,
that such change is remarkable. And
you will, also, | am sure, agree with ne.
when | say that whatever created such
a mental and physical restoration is de-
serving the highest praise.
Very truly yours,
Rev. L. ID. HOPKINS.
