SECRETARY LAHAB was closeted with the
President for . considerable time to-day. Il
was understood that appointments In the In.

The Waco daily examiner. [volume] (Waco, Tex.) 187?-1888, 1885-08-01

From the Hartford (Conn,) Times
Will-power, rs well rs imagination,
has much to do with the cures that
are effected in some cases. The late
Isaac Toucey, who was secretary of
the navy under President Buchanan.
and previously senator, was man
of strong will power. Many years
ago his horses became frightened on
Bolton mountain and ran away. lie
was thrown out and dragged along
the street. Two or three OF his ribs
were broken. and he was bruised all
over and injured internally. Sur
geons from this city were sent out and
found him iu very dangerous condi-
ton. Apparently his injuries were
fatal. But "No," he whispered, 81
shall recover lie did recover, and
his will-power carried him through.
A physician of this city, not now
living, stated to us, some years
since, that he once had a peculiar
case. An elderly lady was re-
markedly nervous. She imagined
that her heart lungs, ndliver were all
disordered. Yet he found them sound.
She had no organic disease except
ncrvouness, and that was enough. a
can cure you;" said the physician; a
understand the CASE lie gave her
six bread pills-not particle of med
icine in them. lie said "Take one
tonight, one tomorrow night, half OF
one each night the next two nights.
Then split the Others in quarters, and
take one. fourth of II pill every morn
ing till all are used up-but do not on
any account take any more ON any
day than have ordered; il will be
dangerous. But by following my di-
rections precisely you will be entirely
well when all the pills are taken"
The woman had faith in him, aud she
got well, as he had predicted. Wasn't
this "faith curc" 1t certainly was
not the dough rolled into pills that
had any effect upon the old lady.
There can be no doubt that will pow
er aud faith of Imagination has much
TO do with ones health or ill-health,
if the imagination runs that way.

Prom the Denver News.
The lung-testcr man carefully wiped
the mouth piece OF the tubo in the
left tail of his coat, and passed IL over
TO the ward hummer.
"Not yet awhile said the hummer,
"Pm not going TO risk the money of
my hackers by going into dis here
convention widout getting big ready
iust.n
The lung-tester man felt like de
murriDg, but the hackers of the ward
hummer looked threatening.
The ward hummer drew from his
pocket bottle of Bottoms whisky
from which he proceeded to imbibt
copious libation. lie next produced
IA Blake street cigar and proceeded to
smoke II with evident relish. A piece
of limburger cheese completed his
training.
An examination of his breath was
now made by his hackers who pro.
nounced him in fine form and prepar-
cd for an encounter with n grizzly
bear A dude who had wandered
aimlcssly up to the crowd vcntured TO
do rs he had seen the others do. lie
smelled the breath of the ward bum
mer and was carried off in coma
tose condition.
Now Pm ready for yer" said the
ward hummer.
The lung-tester mad, who had got a
Whit OF his antagonists breath, grew
pale and hesitated for moment, but
his blood was up and he would not
back down.
"Now, boys, If you want TO see a
stuffed box just look at this one" said
the ward hummer, as he placed the
nozzle of the hose in his mouth.
The admiring crowd gathered
around more closely and the stake
holder took advantage of the diver
SION of attention to steal away with
the contents of the pool-box.
There wasssa fierce look oftriumph
on the face of the ward hummer rs he
gently allowed the deadly contents of
his inflated lungs TO roll into the ma
chine. Around moved the index with
II steady motion; around until IL could
go no further, the 400 mark being
reached The hummer was still TAX
ing it easy aud only slight vibra-
ton showed that the machine was
suffering from IFS terrible contents.
Still the hummer blew Ia confident,
easy way. Then the machine began
TO rock uneasily upon its legs and
give other evidences of inebriatiOn.
The lung-tester man stood upon tip.
toe waiting the fate of his machine,
while the hackers of the ward bum
mcr could scarce forbear TO cheer.
One of tue little bronze eagles which
suimounted the machine discovered
its connection with sharp "ping" and
scared into space. lie was soon join
ed by his mate, while groan escaped
either the lung-tester man or the ia
chine, which II would be difficult to
determine.
"Now let him have it," shouted the
hackers of the ward hummer.
The latter turned AN eye of scorn
upon the lung-tcster man, who had
the temcrity to doubt his capacity for
blowing, and gave the decisive blow.
Some fragments of the machine were
seen adncring to the gable ofthe bank
building adjoining. number of small
particles flew into the News office,
while dense and deadly concentra-
ted stencil gradually and triumphant.
