He proceeded to the corridor on the main floor and rustened to fall heavily upon the tile in a terrible fit of pain throw ing a scare into the young lady em ployes of the building which some of them will not get over for some time to come. His howls and yells scon brought nearly all the male em ployes of the building about him and they endeavored to find out what ailed him.

About eleven thirty Janitor Tom Svoboda concluded that the inner man needed refreshing and eating and he roused his sleeper up. The man leaped to his feet with wild staring eyes and threw a scare into the doughty Janitor by his very as pect. However, Thomas recovered and chased his guest Into the street. The last seen of the sufferer ho was headed for the M. P. depot and doubt less got out of town. The general characteristic which he exhibited in dicated that he was some kind of a dope fiend rather than suffering from blood poison. He surely seemed to recover remarkably quick after he had the dope shot into him. 610 Acres. If you are a renter, stop and read this. 640 acres for sale.
