How she Fascinated Well-Dressed STRAIN
ger in Chicago Park.

tCEicago SUM-
A large, well dressed man was observed
standing motionless in Union Park last
night with his hands folded across his
breast and his eyes fixed on the full moon
in silent ecstasy. People passing through
the park stopped to look at the statue but
the stranger paid no attention to any
thing sublunary. Finally Officer Miller, q
park policeman, touched the man on the
shoulder and asked him the reason for his
strange conduct. No reply except an in
artlculate humble was received. The man
renamed perfectly motionless and his
muscles were rigid. The officer finally gave
up the attempt to rouse him and called tn g
Lake street patrol wagon to take the man
to the County Hospital. The man was
placed in the wagon and taken to the hos
pltal, when within short time he showed
that he was an imitation of John l.. Sull-
van in other ways than in the classic
statuary art. AS soon as he was taken
into one Of the wards. the mysterious STAR
gazer's muscles were Immediately re-
laxed, and he began to strike out from the
shoulder and to throw himself around in
the most violent commissions. 1t was
deemed best to place the patient in q
tralSht-jacket, but it was found necessary
to place him under the influence of chloro-
form before he could be got under control.
Before the fumes of the anHsthetic had
gained possession of his senses six stall

"How is your patient, doctor?" was
asked OF DR., rockingham. who attended
him.
"Hc's getting along first rate" was the
reply. "He hasn't had q recurrence of the
commissions in five minutes" In response
to inquiries as to what was the matter
with the patient, DIR. rockingham said
that he was evidently moon struck. AS
this diagnosis caused a general smile the
doctor was questioned further. He said:
'Seriously speaking, there is no such
thing as being struck in this eli
mate. Cases Olsen occur in India, where
men sometimes sleep exposed 70 the rays
of the moon in damp. marshv place. 1t
is difficult to diagnose this case without a
more complete examination, but this is
probably case of spinal meningitis. In
q person of his age--he is over fifty years
az age-it is likely to result fatally"
The identity of the patient is as much
mystery as his history and the cause Of
his being found in such a condition.

A Tiger OFF On a Picnic.
FDavton TO- Journal.1

During the storm of Wednesday night a
Royal Bengal tiger, seven feet in length
and ferocious to every body but his tanner,
escaped from his cage on the hill east of
the city, where the stranded circus was
camped. He made for the fields at once,
and had high old time dashing among
the cattle and hogs, killing several of the
latter belonging to farmer named Brown.
Weary and wet he finally found a snug
bed in pig pen, where his tanner discov-
cred and captured him next morning.
When the tanner went to the farm houses
to inquire if the occupants had seen his pet,
the terrified women and children fed to
the upper rooms, looked themselves in and
crawled under the beds. In the hands Of
his tanner the creature was as meek as q
lamb.

A Trout Mystery.

One of the most prominent dairymen Of
Orange County, New York, has spring
on his farm in which for years he has
kept fine brook trout. The dairyman is
q most upright and conscientious man,
and was grieved to get the following note
from New York man: "The trout you
sent me in one of the cans of milk was
very fine, thanks; but wasn't that queer
way to send it," When the dairyman
explains it to his neighbors that the
trout jumped into the can they grin and
say, "Oh, yes" and this is what puzzles
him and us. Perhaps the cow drank the
trout; who knows?
