From the State Journal, Lincoln. Neb
There is probably not stronger man or
more trustworthy guard employed at the
Nebraska State Penitentiary than j. T.
Ralston. To stranger he appears very
good example of the man who boasts that
he never was sick day in his life.
For many years Mr.. Ralston lived at Sy-
racuse, Nebraska, and the old residents
there remember him Us one of the strongest
and healthiest of their number.
In 's9 or Whereabouts, when the "grip''
first broke forth in this secti n of the coun-
try, it claimed him as one of its earliest vic
tins. Like most men with strong phys
que, he sneered at the disease and did not
guard properly against it. For days he lay
in bed and left it only as confirmed in
valid.
About this time he moved with his family
to Peru, Nebraska, where some of his chill
dren were attending the State Normal
School. He hoped the change would do him
good, but he was disappointed. He doctored
with the local physicians, and even with his
seemed to no avail, and, IN Miserable in mind
and body, the poor man told his family thai
he feared there was no hope for him.
A happy thought of his own led him to try
strong stimulants. He was again able tc
work. But he soon found that his relief
was but temporary, and when bad weather
came on he was subject to severe attacks Of
the grip" as before.
Two years ago Mr.. Ralston was employed
at the Nebraska State Penitentiary at Lin
coin, the state capital, and enjoyed compar
alive ease while performing the duties Of
usher Last fall, however, he was put on
on the wall, and with his change OF worl
came his old trouble in even more aggra
waited form. He was not only troubled will
the usual miserable feelings of the ''grip,
but he found himself short OF breath ant
generally weak, these things uniting hin
for the duties of his position.
Once more, almost in despair, he sought ;
