BOUND THEY SHOULD HEAR IT
Minister'S Humorous Rebuke to lnat-

DR.. Smith Jeliffe, the alienist, was
once talking about campaign oratory.
Blank" he said OF certain sena-
tor, lis such a thorough-going, pains
taking and withal tedious, campaign
orator that whenever l hear him, l
am reminded Of an old-fashioned min
lister OF my boyhood.
This minister, one Sunday morn
ing, spread before him on the reading
desk a very thick packet of notes,
and launched into long, dry, heavy
sermon.
The reading of the sermon alb
sorbed him. He did not once lift his
eyes. On toward the end, however,
happening to glance up. he perceived
almost the entire congregation to be
sound asleep.
The minister frowned and paused.
He struck the desk a resoundlng blow
that awakened his Pensioners. Then
he said:
my good friends, this sermon cost
me a great deal Of labor, and / do not
think you have given 70 the attention
It deserves l shall. therefore, repeat
it from the beginning.

CASE Is NOT
SERIOUS ONE
Editor of Contemporary
is Overcome by Poll
tical Fat-frying.

About three this afternoon the edi-
tor of the News was passing the head
uqarters of the Democratic Central
County Committee, when he was sud
denly observed to press his hand to
his head and sink to the sidewalk
He was picked up and taken to a drug
store and physicians sent for.
For more than half an hour he was
unconscious. The physicians who at
tended the case were unable to ascer-
tain what was the trouble, when Dr.
Lee was called in. He diagnosed the
case instantly.
He said that the patient had been
overcome by the strong odor of politi-
cal fat frying which issued from the
Democratic headquarters. The doctor
had been several times chairman OF
the Republican Central Committee,
and being an expert, had detected the
faint odor of the fat-frying about the
young gentleman's clothes.
The unusual smell had overpowered
him and temporarily affected his
deodenum. Beside this there had been
a sudden rush of blood to the brain,
which was treated by DR.. Lee with
cold applications on the stomach.
The doctor was interviewed by the
Appeal staff and said that he thought
that the patient had been somewhat
affected by the losses of the District
Attorney nomination, which had rem
dered his system over-susceptible to
the influence which had brought on
the vertigo.
The main hing, the doctor thought,
was to remove him from the State
and give him a change of air while
the fat frying was in progress.
California did not seem exactly to
fit the doctors idea of the proper at
mosphere and it was finally decided
to locate him on barge in the center
of Lake Tahoe until after election.
Complete isolation and no chance
to become excited by reading the
daily papers, will in a few weeks
effect a cure and bring the young
gentleman back to a normal condition.
The doctor said he had seen many
other cases similar to the one in hand.
1t generally attacks newcomers and
people who have lived in localities far
removed from political disturbances.
People reared in agricultural districts
are the most susceptible to the raw
ages of the disease.
