and as be opened up a conversation 1t
was evident that Mr.. Hagen was a per
son of more than ordinary intelligence
To his visitor the remarkable changes
and peculiar career of this man was
source of much interest. The wohu9r-
ful transformation in his appearance

Hagen, couple of years ago, was SO
weak and emaciated that today he hoes

and ever since he has followed TINS
avocation. He is quite prominent
member of the local Shareholders Un

urday night in attendance at the meet
ing of the order. About two years ago
Mr.. Hagen became seriously affected
with rheumatism, the result Of WORKING
in draughts of cold air.
"The shooting pains of rheumatism
are actually, | believe, the most horrl'
ble penalties that can be inflicted on
mankind. l cannot begin to tell you

"But presently another attack of that
internal rheumatism would strike me,
leaving me veritable wreck on the
barren shores of humanity.

Canadian paper containing remark

tortured TO death by rheumatism. He

over town, but they could not find the
pills at any of the drug stores. The
