and was able to give perfectly lucid ac'
count Of how he had lost it. In 1873 Mr.
Il. lived next door To boy who was learn

young musician, and one night played
"COme, Birdie, Come" lS0 times in sue
crssion, In order to learn 1t properly. Mr.
Bollor was found on the floor OF his bed
room the next day, drvourinR an Eureka
hair mattress, and = raving maniac.
On recovering his reason he told the
