NOT ITINsyLr.-Nothing is more curious IN
the psychological history OF man than the
freaks of the insane. Some OF the stranScsl
of which we have read of late have been en-
hibited by Il man from Detroit, who lett Ills
home a year ago and has been travelling
about under the impression that he was
somebody else, hut retaining at the same
time a peculiar interest in his real self. He
would write home to his wife occasionally,
inquiring after her husband, being especially
anxious to learn whether he had "got over
his crazy spell yet" He was traced fron

had free access to the apartments. His raid,

How THE PRonIBlToRY LIQUOR LAW WORKS

The principal theme of local gossip vester-

every dealer in town, and they have prompt

Many amusing scenes occurred, and some
of those gentlemen who have been in favor
of the law, but opposed to its execution,
were obliged to 20 thirsty.

One Of the most suggestive scenes occurred
at one of the principal hotels. An eastern

hot supper, and, being weary, thoughta little
whiskey and water would agree with his
constitution.
