JUDGE JOHN M. RICE TELLS HOW
HE WAS CURED OF SCIATlCA.

(From The Covsngtoa, Ry., POst.)


(From the CbU!ngtos, KY, Post)
The Hon. John M. Rice, of Louisa, Law

dicial circles. The Judge is well.known
throughout the state and possesses the best
qualities which go to make Kentucky
gentleman honored wherever he is known.
A few days ago o Kentucky Post reporter
called upon Judge Rice, who in the follow.
ing words related the history Of the causes
that led to his retirement. alt is just about

tism slight at first, but soon developing into
Gciatic rheumatism, which began first with
acute shooting pains in the hips, gradually

The mate did, but heard nothing save
a queer gurgle. Impulsiyely he swung
the door open. 1t was pitch dark. All
the light from the bull's-eyes had DIS
anneared save the small dot OF ire at
the far end. One Whit OF the stltilng
odOr and he staggered back ana yelled
"Ouick. men! Get in the boat! That
poison is coming out on deck. be-
iieve there's a gang of Malay devils in
that cabin.
Their heads fairly sang as they bent
over their oars, and soon reached the
"Miami.'' Captain Jordan was a jolly
| fellow, and when his mate made re-
port he broke into a hearty tit OF
laughter.
Gan right, Mr.. Borden, I'll try and
get out some of that cargo, and ventl-

morning. Keep a good lookout"
But by morning he was not mlrthful.
The mate and four men were IN de-
lirium with fever, andI the Miami"
spun around on her heel and was soon
miles away from the accursed ship.
Inside of three days the mate and two
of the men were dead, and 1t was
months before the Others recovered.
Now this same derelict was seen by
the French ship "PerrOn," and the
Britt III brig RS Bashmaster" in 1886, and
the captain of the latter craft tried to
put a crew on board her, hoping for
salvage job. The sea was very rough,
but the men got to the lee side of the
floating coffin and the bowman had the
bOat-hOOk over the side, when, like
fash, something sprang on the rail,
black, tall and thin, with very long
arms, but whether a man or big ape
the sailors could not say. 1t gave
frightful scream and was gone. In his
terror the bow man made a stroke at
it. The boat preached to, struck the
wreck and mashed in the side. 1t was
only by the greatest exertiOn that any
were saved, but three men never came
back to the brig.
In 1889 Mr.. Jansen, the doctor en-
ployed by the Dutch government in
Java, wrote to the Nautical Magazine
an account of fearful plague that al
most depOpulated the Island of Timor
in 1910, and the natives reported that
it came from big teat ship that came
ashore on the coast, and every man
that boarded her lost his life and COM
municated the curse to those on land.
Mr.. Jansen affirmed that there could
be no doubt of the truth of this story.
1t is sixty years since this DEATH

sequent fate is unknown, but her menu
