A SECOND BIRTH
The Reappearance on Earth of
 "Chippie" Taylor.

James Augustus Taylor who tried to
 effect corner of the visible supply Of morphine on Monday night was resur- rected sometime yesterday afternoon. He. felt very much like young MT. Letter and other gentlemen who at one time and another have sought to violate the law of supply and demand and thus improperly interfere with
 the natural prices for the necessities of life. He had overloaded himself with more morphine than he could assimi- late with profit to hiclself.
 No definite hope of the return of Mr. Taylor to this world could be held out until about noon when there were de- | tected some signs of animation. Iii the course of an hour or two these signs multiplied. little later MT. Taylor was able to converse and the first utterance was a profession of re- pentancc and a promise that his second life on earth would be a sinless one. If he was driven by worry to saturate | himself with morphine, he has brought | back from the realms of death an ad- ditional cause of anxiety and that is q fear that he will never be able to die, | for every man looks forward with pleasant contemplation to his eternal rest however 10th he may be to enter 1 upon that vacation. A man who cannot die permanently with the aid of twelve grains of morphine may be said to be without hope of a life beyond the grave. His proof against final dissolution is
 now so well established that it must
 be a source of annoyance to him. It
 must be a humiliation to him that he
 is persona non gfata on the thither side | of the StyX.
 | His second appearance on earth was characterized by rather less epidermis,
 than when he arrived original ! ". But MT. Taylor was hardly i less ~ red than he had been as
 an infant and he was more eXtrava-
 sated than he was at his first birth, so
 that he will have to be put into swad ding clothes again before he can put
 on shirt and pantaloons with a hign | degree of comfort to himself.
 Everybody was glad to welcome MT | Taylor back again except the coroner
 who regarded him as a disappointment,
 as q person wholly unreliable and ir
 responsible even in the hour and article
 of death when one can usually be de- pended upon if at no other time. MT.
 Taylor had placed $lO almost within 'lpe SieSP oi lhc coIohCr ana NleH lu'tt
 tunctionary put out his hand to take
 it, it was withdraw-. He expressed Te .
 grct yesterday that he had not i'm
 panelcd jury and held an inquest
 when he was sent for. If he had done
 so MT. Taylor might have been resur-
 rected as he has been, but he could
 have had no legal status in this world.
 He would have been an alien on the
 face of the earth. He couldn't have
 located a mining claim and he would
 have had no vote. The coroner has
 learned from this extraordinary episode
 that it is better not to wait until de- ! composition begins to set in. His views
