was called and, after working over him
some time, he pronounced him dead. An
undertaken was sent for and the doctor
returned home, where, after short time,
a telephone message summoned him to
come back in haste, as his patient showed
signs OF life. Sure enough, the doctor had
scarcely got back and begun again his re-
suscitating applications when Mr.. Adams
opened his eyes and at once engaged in
vivacious conversation with those about
him. He is now improving and may re-
cover. This is not the first time that dead
men have been found not to be dead.
