THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard OF this
terrible disease? 1t prevails in that
far-away country-Africa especially
the Congo district. 1t is caused by
the bite of the tsetse fly. When 1t
bites person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short of letting the tsetse
fly bite us we would do almost any,

A Wonderful Boxer.

feet a boxer as Johnson. Especially

boxers. unless they have great skill,
are able to keep the big black man
from beating their faces to tatters.
In courage, Burns was a bulldog al
ways; Johnso it was said by some.

many battles, however, has it been
proven that Johnson would not take a
good beating.
Neither Burns nor Johnson, how
ever. have been considered men OF the
stamp of Jeffries, Sullivan or Corbett
in the fighting game.

NOW OUT OF DANGER
Janitor Was Discovered Thursday
Afternoon by Friends, Help
less From the
Attack.

case of ptomaine poisoning which
almost resulted fatally was discovered
thursday afternoon, when John Har-
rls, Janitor OF the Congregational
church, was found in the church chap
ell, helpless from a sudden attack of
the disease. DR.. Hogle. who was i'm
mediately called, removed the sufferer
to his home and after working over
him for some hours, pronounced him
out of DANCE. Just what caused the
attack is unknown, but its violence
vas such as to make it one of the
most dangerous cases of ptomaine poi
soning appearing here for a long time.
Heard His Groans
Several members of the Sunday
school We're working on the Christmas
tree in the front part of the building
when they were startled by hearing
.,roans from the old chapel to the rear.
Harry Horne hurried out to investigate
and ound Harris doubled up with
cramps, and suffering excruciating
pain. The other members of the par
ty did what they could to relieve the
man until DR.. Hogle could be secured.
Harris was chilled to the bone, yet
perspiring profusely. these being the
usual symptoms in similar cases.
Although Harris has tried to fix the
responsibility for his trouble upon
some particular thing eaten. he can
think of nothing that might have
caused the attack, AS no other cases
have been reported, it seems that
there is no great amount of the infect
ed food in use Today the victim was
resting easily, and his recovery is now
certain.
