Last week reporter Of this paper was
driving in the vicinity Of Round Lake and
he took in as passenger a farmer who was
going to Geneva. Engaging in conversa-
tion, the farmer friend, who was somewhat
of a garrulous old gentleman asked the re-
porter who he was and where he lived. The
reporter told him that he was a newspaper
man and the old gentleman said "Well you
newspaper men are always up-to-date and
eager for everything new, have you heard
Of the news in Geneva2" The reporter con-
fessed that he had not, but asked the far
mer to tell him anything of a novel and in
teresting nature which had transpired in
that pretty little hamlet. We'll, said the
old gentleman, Geneva has to offer in the
way of wonders something entirely different
from anything ever heard Of before. 1t is
the case of man cured of paralysis. F"
The reporter took out his note book TO get
the facts of the story.
" Before begin to tell you what know
about this, want you to promise that you
will 60 and see the subject of this interview,
so that all may be made known in the report.
| know he will be pleased to see you and will
tell you all about the matter" The re-
porter promised him he would see the man
If he didn't live at too great distance and
the old farmer told his story.
About ten months ago, Marion g. Sales,
a stalwart blacksmith of 80 years, living in
North Adams, Mich was stricken with pa
ralysis, his legs being affected. While he was
working at his trade, lifting large tire of a
wagon to set 1t on the wheel, he fell to the
ground, helpless, and the tire fell on him.
He was removed to his home, his friends
thinking he was hurt by some misstep.
When the doctor came no found that Mr..
Sales had been the victim, not of an acci-
dent, but of paralytic stroke, and thought
You know, Mr.. Repoi Ter, that oftentimes
blacksmths are subject to such disease on
account of the peculiar postures they are
obliged to take. Nj. Sales was a perfectly
! healthy man; / have known him intimately
from boy, and know that to be true; it is
all the more wonderful, therefore, that he
should have this visitation. Soon after this,

seek help and the doctors there gave him no
encouragement. His father, who has lived
here for years, thought better care could be
taken of him here than any other place,
| He was confined to his bed or chair for
months, unable to take a step and no pros
| pect of ever doing SO again, depending upon

The reporter, making good his promis,
and being somewhat curious, proceeded t
Mr.. Sales residence to hear more of th
wonderful case. After making himsel
known the reporter was welcomed by Nj
Sales. ~ hear that your recovery from
