A Marvellous Cure.

II Ia related that once German

the impression that he was forgetting

that he refused to talk anything but
German. Then he became convinced
that he was forgetting that, closed up

sanitariuIn, where he spent his days
in complete silence.

portant part. Every morning the dumb
German American was thrown bodily
into a tub filed with very hot water
allowed to remain there awhile and
then hauled out and set to cool on the
piazza.
But once the sanitarium acquired

The Middle Horse,

farmer, blowing with three hOrs's
htched abreast noticed that the mid
die horse became tired and exhausted
long before either of its mates As
the animal was the equal in every
way OF the other two. he was puzzled
as to the cause of its not being able
to stand the same amount of work.
He finally observed, however. that as
they drew the plow along the three
horses held their noses close togeth
err. with the result that the middle
horse was compelled to breathe the eX-
Fired air from its fellows. The farmer
then procured long 'jOcEey' stick,
which be fastened with straps to the
bits If the outside horses. The device
worked perfectly. for, given its right
full share Of good, fresh air. the mid
die horse was able to do the same
amount Of work and with no greater
fatigue than its fellows.
Many persons are like the middle
horse-thcy do not get their rightful
share Of pure air And this Is why
they are not able to perform as much
work nor OF as good quality as they
would otherwise be able to do.-Chi-
cage Tribune.
