It is stated that a prominent citizen of Galveston -was brought homo very_ late in a comatose condition. His terrified wife, thinking it was apoplexy, sent for the family phj sician. The doctor examined the patient caretu.ly, and then directed that the clergyman be sent for. In a few minutes the spiritual adviser was bending orer the couoh of the dying man. Finally the clergyman said—" Why, he is drunk, that's what's the matter. Why am I sent for here at twelve o'clock at night ?" "Do you suppose," re- ; plied the doctor, " That I am going to be the i only fool on Galveston Island ?" That's the story they tell.
