The mental anxiety and personal embarrassment endured by a young man in business oh North Main street during the latter part of last week will always remain to him as a time he would like to forget.

He noticed that his friends began to shun him and that every time he came near anyone they would back off and sniff their noses. He noticed that a deathly, sickly odor followed him about. Late that night he washed his feet, but without stopping the smell. He next took a bath. This proved to be a quarter spent use- la6ly.

His next move was to spend fifty cents for a. tooth brush, and scrub his teeth until his gums bled profusely. That night he gave it up and began to make preparations for the funeral. He had yvisions of peo- pie literally decaying-, alive. He thought he was in the same "fix." Alone In his roem at night he cried aloud for relief.

His appetite failed; his hopes of a happy future were wrecked and he saw" himself as a model of a person ten years hence, going around with great run- ning and filUiy sores all over his body. He had become so despondent and gloomy that he failed to notice that his friends were Jollying with one another about his condition. Sud-. denly a thought occurred to him. He drew his handkerchief from his pocket to blow his nose.

As he did so he felt something soft and cold in his pocket. He removed it and found it to be a package of decayed beef- steak. He is now carrying a lead "pipe and a cap and ball pistol around in his pocket instead of the steak. and he vows that when he meets the party who caused him to give up all hopes for the future, he will punc- ture his person with six leaden mis- sles and then pound his face with the pipe. Several of his friends have left town, but they all said that they were going on a visit rto their par- ents.

The right one is known, but, luckily, not to the injured man. CASE WAS CONTINUUED Quincy Divorce Case Has Been on Trial Five Days.
