Ridiculous Position Of . Man Whose WHO
Made . Mistake.

Made . Mistake.
Something like year ago information
came to The Mail and Express Office that a.
man living on the upper west side had met
with singular and most unusual accident
and that description Of it might prove Of
interest. / called ut the address given TO
make an investigation and found that
Peter H. George, "a Greek butcher, who was
subject TO infiammatory rheumatism, had
caYfed upon his wife the night before to
give him vigorous rubbing with alcohol.
Mrs. George went to "a dark closet and
picked out the bottle which she thought
contained alcohol, but which was half full
of liquid shellac.
With this she rubbed her husband s body
from neck To waist, repeating the opera
tion couple of hours afterward. Mr..
George went to sleep much refreshed.
When nc awakened i'm the morning, he
found himself incased in u shell. Pcrspir-
alton had been checked, and he felt decid-
edly uncomfortable.
The German servant who furnished these
particulars said that physician was ex-
pected i'm few minutes, and from the
manner in which she expressed herself
came TO the conclusion that Mr.. George
was dead, and that an autopsy was to be
performed.
"Yust as zoon as der dogder kooms, :"
said the girl, she will oben Mr.. Shorch."
"When did Mr.. George dics'' asked.
"Die?" echoed the girl. "Mr. Shorch
has not die"
Just at that moment there was n roar
from an inner room. Gretchen, shouted
a male voice, "I'm tired of waiting for
that doctor Get me the cold chisel and a
hammer, and I'll do it myself"
'Is that Mr.. George speaking?" in
quired.
"Yaw," was the reply. "He vas madt
alretty. Dot dogder, he didn't koom ker-
wick. Mr.. Shorch will obcn hisself alret.

ped to the waist. His body was light
brown in color and highly glazed. He very
courteously explained the particulars OF
vhe accident that had befallen him and
said that he had been waiting two hours
for the doctor to como with a solvent, but
now he was impatient to get out and
thought he would try to crack his shell
with cold chisel. 1t Is needless to say
that this operation was failure and caused
great profanity on the part Of the patient
when he attempted to dig the veneer of
his spinal column.
The doctor came at last and melted Mr..
Georges case sufficiently to permit him to
dress and go out. He now keeps the alco,
hol and the shellac in different Closets
