FLED FROM PRESENT DANGER
So Many "Don'tsy TO Observe That
Unfortunate Man Gave Up
the Game.

It is good to have the official as
surance that there is no danger to
health in using public telephones. For
my part, / never thought there was.
In point Of fact, I never thought about
it at all. Life is too short for all these
precautions.
/ knew man some years ago who
was haunted by the idea that some
thing Of an unpleasant nature would
some day happen to him. He was so
anxious to stave Off the unknown
event that he had list Of precau-
tions printed, framed, and hung up In
his bedroom.
When he left home he took this or
nament with him. ! can't remember
many Of the maxims, but here are a
few;
Never ride in a cab. The cushions
are full Of germs.
Never eat tomato You may get
cancer.
Never eat an oyster. You may get
typhoid fever
Never run for train You may die
Of heart disease.
Never smoke. You may get smok-
er's heart
Never drink milk. You may get
consumption.
Never drink port. You may get
govt.
Never eat veal. You may get indi-
gestion.
Never walk under a ladder. Some.
thing may fall on you,
Never leave off your thick clothes
until July. You may. get pneumonia.
Never read. in bed. You may in-
jure your eyesight.
That man got paler and paier and
thinner and thinner. It the end his
list Of rules literally worried him to
death. Ths dangers of living were so
numerous that the poor fellow com.
mitted suicide.-Sketch.
