In a western city an editor of a
leading paper found his eye-sight
playing all manner of queer jokes.
On one occasion he had mistaken
a man with a heavy moustache for
a lady of his acquaintance, and
until his sense of touch had taught
him differently,) had made violent
love to the object of his affection. He
had complained to many of his
friends of his declining years, and
had been advised by all to use a
red pepper, ink and syphon bottle
hair restorer, as that would be a
sure cure for his affliction; in fact
some of them had given him a trial
shampoo, hut the treatment seemed
to make matters worse. On the
very night of the sltampoo he was
seen hanging to a tire ladder gaz
ing lnngly at what he thought was
a bird hanging in an upstairs win
dow. After long deliberation he
remembers seeing a ladder at his
office that would just reach. He
described a half circle to the office,
andon returning with the ladder de
scribed the other half circle, only
to find that his eyesight had tailed
him again—no bird was visible.
But he is still of the opinion that
there might l>e some fact to the
matter for invitations were issued
the next day for a swell dinner
party, and he was not invited.
