but the more so in his case because of the |
consequences which followed He was sent
to the asylum at Anna and his wife remain
cd here but not long. Overcome by the
shock Of the sudden change in her dream |
Of happiness and constant growing over the
loss she had sustained, she too, lost her

pets and, together with curtains, bedding
and clothing, burned them in the yard.
She broke the windows and doors and
chopped up the floor in the house, often to
the amusement of the children Of the high
school and others who understood not the
poor creatures irresponsible condition.
Some time ago she followed
her husband to the asylum

that she will soon follow him step
further into that region where, it is gene
