ANGER RESTORED HIS SPEECH.
A Re markable Recovery From Paralysis
In q Montana Town.

HELENA, Mon, April ie.-A mans re-
markable recovery Of his voice Is the all
absorbing topic at Basin, a small mining
town halfway between Helena and Butte.
John Matt, for many years an employee
Of the Great Northern Railroad, was stricken
with paralysis more than fifteen months
ago When he was able 10 walk again he
found TO his sorrow that he could not utter
a word. although he could hear distinctly.
About two weeks ago he was taken Ill and
confined to his bed. For several days he
lowered between life and death.
One a. ternoon several friends called,
and while they were present the doctor
came upon the scene. Matt was in a semi.
stupor and seemed unable to recognize
even his most intimate friends and relatives
The condition Of his health was discussed
and the visitors were unanimous In express
ing the belief that death was inevitable.
When Matt heard this he rose from his
pillow as IL by magic and exclaimed in
terms far more forcible than elegant that
he was not a dead man. nor did he intend
10 die. Then. suddenly realizing that he
had recovered his voice, he apologized
profusely for the abuse he had heaped upon
MS physician and friends and became
feryent In his thanks for their presence.
Had you not come said he, 'and made
me angry I do not believe would have re-
covered my voice.
From that moment his recovery has been
rapid, and In q few days he will resume his
old place with james '. Hius railroad.
