of doctors, they said I had nervous prostra.
tion, and had destroyed my whole nervous
system and would never lie able to be up
again. They said I had worn myself out by
the long nervous strain caused by watching
and worrying about the machinery. For
three long years l was unable to move from

able to walk again.

Two Wildcats.

A Wells-Fargo messenger on the Santa
Fe train had an unusual experience.
Among tho articles i'll his care was q
cage containing two wildcats, consigned
from Fall Brook, i'll this state, to Mar
tins Ferry, o. The messenger from
whom he received them said they had
been behaving very we'll. but no sooner
was he started Oh his run than they got
into a terrible fight. The frail bars Of
the cage bent 9 . under their battering
that he drew a couple Of revolvers and
watched them, ready to fight for his life
in case they got loose. When the growis,
snarls aud splitting finally had ceased,
the messenger took a lantern and looked
into the cage. Where there had been
two big wildcats, weighing respectively
SO and 40 pounds in spite of their
gauntness, there was now one sleek 80
pound wildcat and q few hairs and
bones of the other. The surviving beast
was sent rejoicing OH its way, billed as
''two wildcats. San Francisco Argo-
