Several years ago a lawyer-stOcll-

OF land near Pecos. picked up a rock
that was strongly impregnated with

about He saw that there were many
such rocks upon his broad acres. but
gave no particular thought to the sub

In the course Of a few days an in

some questions about it. He smelt Of
it, and remarked that II contained

A few weeks later the lawyer-stOck-

an automobile ride and carried him

who was a small and somewhat Ia
comic individual. asked that he be

PRESIDENT WILSON HOME;
HIS HEALTH SHATTERED
Doctor Grayson Says His Patient
Must Have Several Weeks of
Absolute Rest.

Washington, Sept. 29.-President
Wilson has returned from his West
ern tour suffering from a serious
though not alarming, nervous break
down and unable to give attention to
the greatest aggregation Of domestic
and foreign difficulties an American
executive has confronted in many a
decade.
M Wilson walked from his train
to his motor with weak step, lifting
his hat with trembling hand, and smil-
ing wanly at The greeting tnrong.
After a rest of several hours at the
White House, the president was taken
for drive by Mrs. Wilson and Doc
tor Grayson. He was allowed to see
no callers, and retired at an early
hour
Complete unbroken rest the presi-
dent must have, says Doctor Grayson,
emphasizing the intention to see that
bis patient gets it. Although the con-
dition of the executive is not deemed
alarming, recovery will be matter OF
several weeks under the most favor
able circumstances, and Admiral Gray
son fears that unless it is possible to
keep his mind off pressing public mat
ters, it may be months before Mr.. Will
sons shattered nerves resume their
equilibrium.
The physician hopes that he will be
able to carry out his program of rest
with the president remaining in the
White House and eventually resuming
his drives and his golf. But if this
should not prove feasible. Doctor
Grayson will take his patient to some
resort where climate and seclusion
will aid recovery.

London is being fed by means of
