Reportorlal Shrew[?]

A certain newspaper reporter, assigned to Investigate the case of a young woman at a hotel said to be in a trance, represented himself as a dootor so that he would be allowed to see the viotlm. He put on a wise air, gravely felt her pulse, and then turned from the bedside. “What is the best to be done?” inquired those in waiting. “The best thing to be done is to douse her with ice-water," said the pretended doctor. This was done, and the young woman awoke from her alleged trance, got up and dressed in a hurry, and left the house in a huff. This “trance" maiden was on ly recovering from a pleasure jaunt, over the Rhine.—Cincinnati Times.
