CURING A HYpocHoNpRIAc.
whca HIS Faults Were Paraded the
Man of VnERries Immediately
Got Wen.

An odd story of hypochondriac and
the amusing manner OF his cure Is cred
tied TO the late DIR. Emily p. Robbins,
who was the first woman physician in
this country, relates an exchange.
"At Fort Madison, whore / first prac-
uced she said, There was hypochon-
driac Of great wealth whom friend Of
mine, Dr. Gray attended
Some days this hypochondriae would
think himself teapot Again he would
be kettle. or has legs would be turning
into glass He was, altogether, a trying
subject for old Dr, Gray TO deal with.
but one morning the limit was reached.
for when the doctor asked how he felt
he said, grufly:
"'fiow do feel? Why. I don't feel
A. all. I'm dead. have heen dead for
several hous, How can a dead man
feelg'
Or Gray determined, for once. to
humor him He said:
Yes, you are dead sure enough
Come upstairs and be laid out Wen

for your coffin
"The patient consented TO this.
though with a rather uneasy look, and
got into bed and stretched himself out
In a stiii, eorpselike attitude.
"They dressed him in grave clothes;
they put him in q coffin; they placed
flowers In the dim room, and then they
admitted two or three al time, his best
and oldest friends.
"These friends. having been well
coached, sazed al the corpse and shook
their heads sadly.
"'Ah,' one would say, so he is dead
at last, eh2 Well greater villain never
lived
"'He must have died hard, another
would murmur They say the wicked
die hard always
"A third friend exclaimed; He cheat
ed me once out Of $4,000, rloaned the
money % him without security, and he
pretended that he had never received It.
Eat this the hypochondrlac sat up In
his coffin.
You lie, George he said bitterly
But Dr Gray pushed him back. whis-

and he subsidized again
but when an old and trusted servant
said OF him. in a loud voice:
Well the old curmudgeon is gone,
and am gled of 4. the hypochondrlae
could contain himself no longer He
leaped ont Of the coffin and seized the
servant by the throat

But a great shout Of laughter went up:
the patient seemed for the first time to
realize his folly, he turned and went out
for walk, and never again did he per-

KEEP A KEEN AND KINDLY EYE
 ON YOUR COMPETITOR

Do you watch your competitors newspaper advertising as closely as you watch his show windows? It's not good business plan to be too well satisfied. It's an undeniably good business plan to admit, if you feel that it's, true that the other fellow has made his advertising little too good for your comfort and peace of mind; to find out by cold-blooded comparison, in what respects his advertisement beats yours-and then, in a quiet whisper to yourself, determine to set the pace for him for a. while.
