man of unfeigned faith, did
much good in the mountain coun-

days at Mr.. Hadley's, in which
the grippe symptoms greatly sub
sided, and the old machine was

fluid, throwing up freely, felt
convalescent next morning. AL

old-time inn, when the landlord
conducted them to the same bed,
whereupon the party OF the first
part remarked: well Stranger,
1t has been a long time since we
slept together. When the party
of the second part replied: Eyes,
but l perceive you still retain
that same old scent" / at once
recognized the same old scent |
smelled so long ago. About 3 p.
m. on the third day by the good
graces of one Mr.. Shearer, who
pulled old Selim with one hand,
and the buggy with the other,
while l tottered behind carrying
what remained of my grippe, |
reached the summit Of the hill,
headed for the hospitable home
of Mr.. H. K. Walkup, where l
found the latch string hanging
outside. Early on the following
morning I met full-grown lion
square in the road. Stopping in
the most spacious part of the
road, while quoting Solomon as
follows: "The slothful man says,
there's a lion in the way" to
which the lion replied: Ha! and
continued to ha! with his hand
to his ear, until Mr.. Lion, the
drummer, moaned, 20! the

ain, where he might drink and

HOW LOST MY GRIP.

May l, 1918, we located at
Glensfork, KY. and after pleas
ant summer there, luxuriating on
sulphur water and fat 'possum
until December LIST, returned to
Pisgah, but sad to say, about the
first of February woke one morn
ing feeling as though a half bush
ell of bumblebees had turned loose
in my bonnet. Then came the
sneezing, snorting and otherwise
cavorting, a symptom l surmised
of the long dreaded result of
overdevelopment of the brain.
My stomach with every organ
went out on a strike. Mrs. j.
thought it caused by imbibing
over much 'possum and sulphur
water like the song that went
somehow so:
Sister Sue IS very sick,
A what you recon ails her?
She ate all grany's goose eggs up
And now her stomach ailS her.
And so it went on better and
worse until the worse far exceed
ed the better, when l determined
to take a change of treatment,
and on the morning of the 18th
weak and weary, lame in every
muscle, made a break for Sand
Lick via the Crocus road to the

1t has been well said that man
