A man who was struck by lightning and apparently killed, showed signs of life shortly afterward, and restoratives being applied he soon recovered. One of the by-standers wanted to know how it felt to be struck by lightning, and asked him what his sensations wete at the time the thunderbolt struck him. “Good heaven!” said he, “have - ! been struck by lightning?” “Certainly you have. Didn’t you know it?” “Gracious, no! I didn’t have the least suspicion that way.” “What di<J. you think was the matter?” “I didn’t know but I might have been f rying to kiss the hired girls and my wifediad come in unexpectedly."—Chicago Ledger.
