CURINi A HYPoCHoNDRIAC.
When His Faults Were Paraded the
Man of yasaries Immediately
Got Well.

An odd story of hypochondriac and
the amusing manner of his cure is cred
tied to the late Dr. Emily p Robbins,
who was the first woman physician in
this country, relates an exchange.
AT Fort Madison, where l first prac-
ticed,' she said, there was hypOchon-
driae of great wealth, whom a friend of
mine, a DR.. Gray, attended.
Some days this hypochondriac would
think himself teapot. Again he would
be a kettle, or his legs would be turning
into glass. He was, altogether, 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, gruffiy:
g How do feel? Why, don't feel
at all. I'm dead. | have been dead for
several hours. How can dead man
feel?'
DIR. Gray determined, for once, to
humor him. He said:
Yes, you are dead, sure enough.
Come upstairs and be laid out. Well
send for the undertaken to measure you
for your coffin
THE patient consented to this
though with rather uneasy look, and
got into bed and stretched himself out
in stiff, corpselike attitude.
They dressed him in grave clothes;
they put him in a coffin; they placed
flowers in the dim room, and then they
admitted two or three at time, his best
and Oldest friends.
''These friends, having been well
coached, gaZed at the corpse and shook
their heads sadly
".Ah,' one would say, so he is dead
at last, Ell? Well, greater villain never
lived
I" 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. l loaned the
mosey 20 him without security, and he
pretended that he had never received it. >
At this the hypochondriac sat up in
his coffin.
You lie, George. he said, bitterly.
But DR.. Gray pushed him back, whis-
pering to him TO remember he was dead
and he subsidized again.
But when an old and trusted servant
said of him, in loud voice:
Well, the old curmudgeon is gone,
and l am glad of it. the hypochondriac
could contain himself no longer. He
Ieaped out of the coffin and seized the
servant by the throat.
You scoundrel,' he exclaimed, Il
But great shout of laughter went up;
the patient seemed for the first time to
realize mis- folly; he turned and went out
for walk, and never again did he per-
nit his hypochondria to make fool OF
him"

The Clothes of a King.

An English journal publishes what
purports to be an interview with one
of King Edwards tailors, doubtless a
much less democratic person than his
employer This tailor says that the
king "gets through with quite hun
dred pairs" of trousers and a dozen
suits of evening clothes in a year. His
tailors' bills, uniforms apart, must
make big hole in $1,000 a year."
Plenty of our American sovereigns
spend much more than that in adorn-
ing themselves. But the king pays
smaller prices than they. "F'or trous-
ers," says our English authority, che
pays from AZ to so shillings." Must
get them ready made! For a frock
coat and vest he pays eight or ten
guineas." Away, base slave, away!

CUNNING OF THE coon.
As 1t Is Displayed In Evading the
Hounds When Returning
to Its Nest

He will usually go home by tree
trunk road. Through the open country
On the boundaries of his range he trots
along without minding his steps. The
dogs may have all the fun here with
his trail that they can He intends
only that they shall not find his home
tree, or even the vicinity of it, says
the National Magazine
So, as he enters his own neighbor-
hood swamp, his movements change
The dogs may be hard after him or
not. If they are not close behind he
knows by long experience that they
may be expected and never so far for
gets his precious skin as to go straight
to his nest-tree.
Instead he trots along boundary
fence or in the stream, leaping the
crossing logs and coming out, likely
on the bank opposite his home tree
Farther down he jumps the stream,
runs hard toward a big gum and from
a dozen feet away takes a flying leap
catching the rough trunk up just out
Of reach of the keen-nosed dogs. He
goes on up little and leaps again,
touching the ground ten feet out, thus
leaving a blank of 20 or more feet in
his trail
The stream or fence has puzzled the
dogs, but now at the tree they begin
to worry. They circle and finally pick
up the scent beyond the first gap. only
to run instantly into a greater blank,
one that the widest circling does not
cross. For the coon has taken to an
other tree, out on the limbs of this
to still another, and on like squirrel,
from tree to tree for perhaps a hun
dred yards, on, it may be, to his own

All the prettiest evening coats and
and those for matinee wear are of
white cloth, all lengths being permits
sible. fitted and loose. shapes being
equally in vogue. The same latitude
in length and shape applies to coats
for less formal occasions.
So. Of all things. let each woman.
carefully determine which shape is
best suited to her own proportions.
Let the short or stout woman steer
clear of the coat that is an inch or
two below the knee, such a length
tends TO detract materially from her
height
And while there is nothing more
graceful than the Princess gown on a
woman with neat figure, un-
fortunately very few women can wear
it becomingly, and it should be
tabOoed by the short woman together
with the three quarter length coat.
But the styles, fortunately, are not
all for her of the lissom figure, and
the other types of women haye their
inning in the very long skirt that the
best modistes are making-the sort
that milady must needs hold up when
ever she wishes to take a step. but
which gives her regal appearance,
particularly when worn beneath a
coat seven-eighths the length of the
skirt.
And as there are coats and skirts
suitable for all women, short or tall
this winter. so are the lines of
corsets planned for all figures, and not
withstanuing the frequent outbursts
of the "Anti-Corset-Leagues" made
up of the comparatively few women
10 America who may be called ''dowd",
every fashionable American woman
will have her corset, to it she owes
much of the reputation she enjoys
for gracefulnesS and style.

Grand Rapids, Nov. 18th, 1908.
Report of committee on Soldiers
Monument
To the honorable board of supervisors
of Wood County, Wisconsin:
Gentlemen:-Your committee auth
orized to make report on the proposed
Soldiers monument for Wood county,
beg to report as follows:
They correspondent with the county
clerks of adjoining counties and found
that the best monuments of this ma
ture in the immediate vicinity were
erected by Portage county at Stevens
Point, and by Marathon county at
Wausau, Wisconsin.
The monument at Wausau is one of
the best monuments of it's kind in the
state, considering the amount of the
cost, which was about $4,000.
We are in receipt TO a letter from a
firm of Wausau, who offers to dupli-
cate monument same as the one fur
nished for Marathon county, which is
% feet and inches high, for the
same sum, viz: $1,000. 90; this price
includes a statue of soldier feet
high.
We find on looking up the law that
the county board has authority to
erect monuments for soldiers and sail
ors of the war of 1861, after a vote
has been taken by the electors of the
county. 1t would, therefore, be nee
essary for this board, if they favor
the erection of such monument, to
pass a resolution authorizing the
county clerk to bring this matter up
before the people at the next election
in November, 1904, in order to present
the matter properly before this board.
We beg to submit such resolution in
this report E. P. Arpin, j. E. In
graham, Jacob Specht.
RESOLUTION.
Whereas, the board of supervisors
of Wood County, Wisconsin, in body
assembled, do consider it proper and
just that monument, to cost not to
exceed So, 900 to be erected for the SOL
diers from Wood county who sacri-
feed their lives during the last rebel
ion, same to be erected in court house
square in Grand Rapids, Wis.,, and in
accordance with the law that this mat
ter be placed before the electors.
Be it Resolved, That the county
clerk be, and is hereby instructed to
prepare such notices for the question
