"Lenin is like the hypochon driac who, after insisting for seven years that be was made of glass, announced one morning that be was dead. "Dead, eh? This was rather serious. Tbe hypochondriac would be an intolerable nuisance if he canld hot 'be reasoned out of his new delusion. Accordingly, the doctor began to reason with him. " 'Dead men don't b'eed. do they?' said the doctor. " 'Of course they don't,' said the corpse. "The doctor took out a lancet nd cut the hypochondriac's fin ger a little. "'There. he said, as the blood trickled out. 'Look at that blood. That proves that you aren't dead.' " 'Not at all.' said the hypoch ondriac, as he wrapped his hand kerchief around his bleeding fin der.

The attorney, Hyroan Bushell, said Ruth declared he was be ing blackmailed, in a telegram from New Orleans signed by him self and Mrs. Ruth today, said he would not "pay a cent, but would fight the charge to the limit." Mr. Bushell said the complain ant who until two weeks ago, occupied an apartment on River side Drive, had since disappeared and all- efforts to find her to learn more about her have been futile.

On December 2, Ruth's attor ney first appeared as counsel for the defendant; Then, last Feb ruary 24, after Ruth had gone south to join his club for the spring training, a complaint set ting forth the charges made by Miss Dixon was filed with Mr. Bushell.
