four o'clock A.M
One night I rose hastily to close the windows in a sudden shower . Kizzie wakened promptly , and actually followed me out of the room and down-stairs . Alas ! it was not far from his breakfast hour , for he preferred his first meal at four o'clock A.M. . You see how he influenced me to rise early and take plenty of exercise . I once heard of a wealthy Frenchman , nervous and dyspeptic , who was ordered by his eccentric physician to buy a Barbary ostrich and imitate him as well as care for him . And he was quickly cured !
