SOME KIND OF A FOOL.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
A good story is told Of DR.. Irving
c. Rose, whose practice as alIenist
and neurologist brings him in contact
with many queer and nervous peo-
pie.
Some time since, about the time
the Lafayette statue was completed.
the doctor was consulted by a wealthy
retired business man stopping at one
of the uptown hotels. The patient
expressed great alarm about his men
tai condition and believing himself
going crazy. He had just come from
abroad, where he had suffered from
insomnia while staying in Nice, and
the only way that he could procure
sleep was to walk every night to the
end of the promenade and there touch
q certain cactus with his walking
stick. This morbid impulse followed
him to Wsshin ton, and became so
fixed that unless he touched the lamp
post in front of the statue
at the south east corner Of
Lafayette square sleep was imposs-
ible. He had gone to bed time and
again, but was obliged t, get up,
dress himself, and walk to this psrtic-
ular lampposr, which he had to touch
in order to ease his mental condition.
In his anxiety to get we'll the victim
of this strange de 'usion said (: DOC
tor, if you will cure me I'll not only
pay you your fee but give you $500
besides" An appropriate prescrip-
ton, with directions, was given, and
the patient was askei to call again in
ten days.
In The mean time, the city authori-
ties having decided that the lamp post
in question INSTRUCTED the view Of the
statue, it was accordingly removed,
and, Of course. was no longer an ex.
ternal object that could act on the
senses.
A few days after this circumstance
the patient returned to the doctors Of
fee, as directed, and with sheepish
look, said: Doctor, here is your
check; you've not only cured me, but
you've convinced me that l was Q
fool besides"
The doctor above referred to is
brother of Sam and Frank r ,sse of
Seda!ia, also Of Mrs. E. w. Stevens.
