XMAS ENTERTAINMENT.

The XMAS entertainment that is to
be given by the M. e. Sunday school
next Monday evening will be different
from that usual procedure. Heretofore
the school gave treat to the crowd
that came to the entertainment, but
OH account of the suffering all over
the world at this time the children
decided that they did not want a treat,
but would bring gifts in cash or use
full articles for the use of the Old
Peoples Home in Spokane. There will
be the old fashioned XMAS tree, deco
rations and entertainment, but no
treat. Everybody come.

CHAPTER lV-MY SECOND
EXPERIENCE

II must have been nearly morning
when went 10 sleep-it was late
afternoon when | awoke. The only
wonder is that did not keep on
chasing those elusive streams of wa
ter until | came TO the river Styx.
or TO where | could hear "Old Jor-
dan Roll and never get back TO
where corn grew and ptomaines poi
soned the body-for the old doc, In
his blissful ignorance, had given me
an enormous overdose of morphine.
At my then age, an eighth OF
grain, repeated il the first dose fail
ed to give relief, would have been
the maximum quantity permissible.
But the amount old Doc Tom had
dished out into a spoon and given
me, at a single dose. was not less
than four grains, My tolerance for
the drug, then unknown TO me, to-
gether with the antidoting effects OF
the extreme pain and muscle spasm
was suffering, no doubt accounts
for my return to earth. But the
ptomaines and their bacterial build
ers did not fare so well That dose
of morphine was their Waterloo. Not
one OF them recovered sufficiently TO
resume business.
II was about three years later,
during my first and only term at
the state university, that | made my
second close acquaintance with his
majesty. King Opium. This second
time IL was another attack of chol-
era morbus that occasioned the use
of the drug for relief. But II was
not nearly 80 severe as before, con
fining itself 10 the abdominal dis
turbance only. My landlady had.
for some time. been doing all she
could for me in the way of hot ap
plicationS, when she bethought her
self OF bottle of laudanum she had.
and brought II TO me. OF this |
took a teaspoonful and managed to
keep il down till it stuck. | felt
much better. No, she need not bring
any more hot towels was getting
better and would not need them.
Now, the opiate strength OF tea
spoonful of laudanum is about that
OF six grains of opium, or three
fourths of a grain of morphine. Al
though a much smaller dose than
old Doc Tom had given me, it was
still much more than | should have
taken-and. again, my individual toll
crance for the drug. no doubt, helped
materially in saving me from the
dangerous effects of an overdose.
After / became free from all pain
and suffering some of the other
boys boarding in the same house
came into my room TO get me to
show them how TO "do" some of
their more difficult problems. Then
was left alone. 1t was still early
about p. m.-hence the bulk OF
the night was yet before me. And
