 Imagine fellow hearing the same tune continuously for five days, and then conceive the same person listening 10 the same tune backwards for the nve succeeding days and you will have vivid picture Of a person who is pret- to Dr. Bryce's Tuscaloosa hospital" said a man who works in downtown store yesterday.
 ''The person refer to- Is myself. Don't look like l am half cracy? If don't, deceive my looks. Any mans mind would become affected, believe. If he had been compelled to have his ears receive the invariable sounds that have recently.
 T work in store adjoining one of those moving picture shows, where they pianos. The music sounded not half bad to me the first day, but when they perpetrated the same combination of tunes to me for~five consecutive days without one moment of rest or recre- ation. I thought was on the right path to develop into genuine looney. | thought myself more than fortunate when, on the close of the fifth day. the bose man of the show turned lever and the music machine started off in a different way. soon discovered that the new tune was only reverse of the notes of the former piece. I listened to 1t five days, and you can well imagine how I must have felt by the time the next change in the machines repertoire was made.
 VT have told. that fellow in charge that if he didn't vary the melodies at least three times a day from now on. may take a notion to enjoin him. Be- of ever being boarder at pr. Bryce's asylum"
 Isn't it ridiculous" said the fat man, as he stood on Court Square in the heat hopping his brow with large the intense humidity of the past few days, how foolhardy most peo- pie are when crossing the street" he observed, as he pointed to a street car that had just stopped suddenly in the middle of the block to avoid run ming down a pedestrian evidently hur- ryine to the nearest drug store to get a cool drink
 why. 1t was only yesterday that I was standing on the front platform or a down town car, in order to get a breath of cool air, when the motorman was forced to stop his car no less than four times to avoid collision with pedestrians; one time he had to re- verse his car in order to stop in time. It made me positively faint to think of the number of accidents that the mo- torman avoided in that one block.
 Now nobody can accuse Mont gomerian of having any too much aTn- bition for walking fast during this hot weather. so ! am forced to the conclu- sion that good many persons walk in front of a car just to see whether the motorman is on the look out. and tn- cidentaIly to make him work harder than they themselves are in this hot weather
 Just look at that" he said, as a woman lodged in front of a passing car, its too much for me. come on and let's get a dope to relieve my nerves and get cool"
 nearest ''cooI drink" shop, but took great care to avoid street cars and ve- hicles while crossing the avenue
