fortune in writing popular songs for the
man who can strike the popular fancy.
Notwithstanding the fact that litigation
and Injustice took away a large perc ntage
of the profit made on A Hot Time in Old
Town. the work has netted me consid-
erably over s29,cG9 since it was put OF the
market. The composition was written in
1886. while l was leading the orchestra

then under the direction of Primrose and
West. We were en- route for New Or
leans and skirted Old Town, La. just in

at its height. Then the idea of the song

NEW DRINK CURE.
Hynotism Employed TO Abate the sin
of Intemperance.
(From the Chicago Chronicle,

NilOm lne NniCAeO thonlclel
Many and varied are the so-called
cures for that curse to humanity-habit-
ual drunkenness. The latest treatment,
and possibly one of the most effective
and successful methods employed, Is hyp-
notism. Naturally. the habitual drunk
ard is considered harder to cure, because
he is in a state of perpetual intoxlcation,
while the dipsomaniac is only periodical
ly drunk, but men versed in the knowI-
edge of suggestive therapeutics say with
the former drunkenness Is Il habit, and
with the latter a form of insanity. A
habit can be cured by suggestion. while
the patient is under a hypnotic influence,
as is every day being manifested, while
insanity is rarely cured by like treat
ment. Therefore the average cures ef-
fected by hypnotic suggestion number 50
per cent, the remaining 20 usually being
cases of long-standing dipsomania, and
people who really do not care to be cured
The patient must work with the hyp-
notist who is usually registered ply
sician. He must want to be cured and do
his best to relax entirely the mind and
body. and to go to sleep as he is told
when the magic hypnotizer of silver is
held before his eyes. When he is asleep
he is told that he viii not care for liquor
when he leaves the place, the physician
speaking in a soothing monotone.
The desire to be cured, the confidence
in the healer, the perfect rest for the
| nerves, together with the physical exer-
| else practiced and the nutricious food pro-
| vided, stimulate the heart and stomach
until the patient forms the habit of CO.
ing without liquor. Then he goes away
| cured, the treatment having lasted from
ten to twenty days. The stronger the pa
tents mind the sooner he will be cured,
for the greater will be his determination.
This method of curing the liquor habit
by hypnotism and suggestion is now be-
ing practiced by eminent physicians all
over the country, and is being taught in
one of the leading medical colleges of
Chicago. 1t is strictly professional" for
not one of the instructors will teach the
! art outside the medical profession.

he was somewhat surprised. however,
when at the end of an hour of very slow
walking the carriage was brought up TO
the gate of a cemetery. He wheeled the
team around, intending to return the same
way he had come, and Immediately the
animals started ont on a brisk trot.
Where In thunder are they taking us?'
thought Mr.. Macdowell, but he said moth
ing. In fifteen minutes his curiosity was
satisfied-the pair stopped in front OF his
friends stable. Still somewhat surprised,
he turned around and proceeded in an op-
posite direction from that originally tax
en-. Again the horses started in monot-
onous walk, and iE due time arrived at
second graveyard In another section OF
the town. This time Miss Davenport
laughed heartily, and her husband could
not resist saying several things that he
shouldn't have said in the presence of
lady. The beasts Were once more turned,
and Immediately trotted back to their
home as though thoroughly enjoying the
joke Mr.. Macdowell then gave 1t up,
determining that he had had enough rid
ing for one day. But that evening he met
his friend and that worthy hastened in
his direction with an ill-concealed smile.
Why old man." he said there was
some mistake made with your team this
afternoon. Inc boy gave you Two HORSES
