I have bad a close call for a trip over tbe

now. For five weeks I was in the hos
pital and no one but myself thought I
would weather it through, and I wasn't
so awfully sure about It either, but now
I can eat throe square meals a day and
relish them. I bad an ulcer of tbe stom
ach, which proceeded to eat off an artery,
so they told me, and the hemorrhages came
near fixing me. I passed through a very
critical operation, It being a ohnice be
tween tbe knife and the box, and I chose
the knite, and so I am here today. 'Tubs
mighty tough, though, going Ibree weeks
without a bite to eat. However, I am
feeling fine now considering wbat I went
through, but it will be a month or more
yet before I am able to work. Kind re
