Failure Made Him Sleep.
Inability to Sell Patent Lulled Inventor Bacher Into a Twenty-six
Days* Nap? Aroused by Electricity and Mental Suggestion.
Peter Bacher of Canton, 0.. who
dropped off In r twenty-six days' nap j
l>ecaiu?e he had failed to sell n patent
for making steel, was awakened the
other day by electric batteries and
mental suggestion. Bacher camo to
full consciousness like any normal
slnmbervr. He robbed his eyes, yawn
ed and stretched out his arms.
Bacher bad been working ou a steel
pateut for years, all his hi>i>os and am
bition* N'lns centered In It. There are
many ways to work off an excess of
dlsapj>olntment. but Bacher found re
lief In an nnusual. Inexpensive manner.
Ou the day he failed to sell his patent
he came home and fell into a profound
slumber, lie resisted all attempts t<> i
wake hlin the next day and the next
week. His apre inm -e seemed normal, j
i hL* breathing being regular at nil
times.
It was supposed that the pent-up ex
citement of years Iia?l resulted lu mi
extreme reaction. l>ut despite nil theo
ries the futility became very anxious.
Various methods were tried, but It re
mained for Dr. T. II. 'Shorb of Can
ton to bring nn electric Imtter.v and
mental siu-gcstlon Into play. Electric
ity was applied to bis spinal column
and to tho soles of his feet. The com
mand for Rnrher to arouse himself
was then made by mental suggestion.
At In st Ilaclier stirred and then
opened his eyes, lie looked up at the
doctors, who were conducting the
clinic. but did not speak for some
time.
Itefore the physicians left the bouse
he was able to talk.

instrument Proves Incubator For Rattlers? Followers of a Super
stitious Theory Almost Create Panic at Church Concert.
Residents of Sparrow Bush, four
miles from Port Jervls, N. J.. Rot the
lnslile facts from Gene Tlsdell why he
dropped his fiddle nt the church con
cert In Lifting Hooks Just as he was
about to play "Pop Goes the Weasel."
with variations.
Gene Is noted for Ills voracity. He Is
also famous as a fiddler, and his con
duct at the concert caused a local sen
sation. lie tells It thus: In the days
when he first scraped a bog his teach
er was a superstitious Frenchman,
who confided to bin) that If the rattles
of a rattlesnake were placed In a vio
lin the Instrument would surrender Its
sweetest harmonies. tJeue says ho re
called the advice three weeks ago when
he killed a snake with sixteen rattles
after a hard light.
IIii tucked the rattles In his violin
and did not take up the Instrument
again until he started for Llftlug
Kocks.
He saluted the audience and drew his
bow across the E string. Simultane
ously, with n discordant squeak, the in
strunient squirmed In his hand, and tie
dropped It In terror. The audience to w
him reach for It and retreat to the
vestry room.
"I tipped up the old bandbox," Gene
reported, "and what do you suppose I
discovered? It was packed with young
rattlesnakes. They hatched out of the
rattles; that's what they did."
Gene's brother Walter, who claims to
know a thing or two, supplemented the
accouut of the rattlesnake violin peril
with the announcement of another
menace to a confiding public.
"Gasollue fumes escaping from thou
sands of automobiles are charging the
air with a gas which Is Inflammable
and highly explosive," he .explained
"This gas is collecting in the upper nlr
strata. Somo day a redhot meteor Is
going to touch off the gas, and then
binge! There'll bo an explosion that'll
wreck some of the sky and knock down
the stars."

Pennsylvania Widow, In Hurry to Catch a Train to a Neighboring

Mrs. .Tunc Leggett, n comely young
widow of Taylor's Camp. Pa., tlgured
In a most distressing accident which
was dui' primarily to a newfangled

popular In I'arls and tho larger cities

Mrs. I.eggett. "ho Is a prominent
uiemtier of the Civic club, had been Jn

boring town and read a paper on "liais

a favorable Impression, she ordered a '
new sheath gown.
She spent much time In decorating j
for the meeting, utterly regardless of
tlio tlmo table. It wis four minutes to
train time when she was ready to start.
She beard the toot of the locomotive
whistle and hastened to the station
Under ordinary circumstances she
could have mudo the train In season,
but the claspy garment retarded free
action and handleapi>cd her.
Mrs. I.wggett tripped several times,
to the exceeding great Joy of envious
women. She was almost a full block
from the station when the train pulle.l
In, and. since It remained only a mln

in her agitation she made a longer
step than she should have, and, with a
vcl^rli and a rip. the goods parted. She
did not read the paper.

ONJME BOY
His Hands were a Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread All Over His Body
?In Four Days the Child was
Entirely Cured? Mother Strongly
RECOMMENDS CUTICURA
SOAP AND OINTMENT
"One day we noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We first noticed it on his little
hands. Hut hands were not as bad
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard of the C'uticura Itemed ies being
bo good for itching sores, etc., that 1
thought I would got them. By this j
time the disease had spread all over his
body, and his hands were nothing but
a solid mass of this itching disease. I
went to the drug .store and purchased
a l>ox of Cuticura Soap and one box of
Cuticura Ointment, and that night I
stripped my little boy and took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water and
washed him well. Then I dried him
with a soft hath towel, and took the
Cuticura Ointment and rubbed him
thoroughly with it. I did this every
evening before I put him to bed and in
thro? or four nights ho was entirely
cured. You have my permission to
publish this because anybody who suf
fered as my bat>y did -ought "to know of
the Cuticura Remedies. I will surely
and gladly recommend the Cuticura
Remedies, for they are a godsend to all
suffering with skin diseases. Mrs. Frank
