Healdton, Feb. I've do regret

ously the mind OF the patient. This
newspaper man hasn't lost all discre-

street lest he run amuck and get
shot.
The doctor whose office we acci-
dcntally entered said he was a dent

There is a general reversal of
form in the habits OF the patient.
At night he and sleep are strangers;
in the day time he is likely to fall
asleep a minute or two anywhere.
His appetite, when he has one,
is strangely contrary. With that
measly taste in his throat, he has a
hunch that he could eat ham. And
so far as a newspaper man knows,
there is no such animal these days.
The only other thing he Graves is

that he was d~tsorderly. Without hest
