Poor Jack Cole Of the Inflated Jean
nette, who is now confined at the gov
eminent insane asylum, in Washington,
made a savage assault upon fell
low inmate Sunday. At times this NAL
ady takes a violent form, and il is
therefore found necessary TO place him
in one Of the wards where patients OF
that class are kept under the constant
surveillance Of four attendants. Jack was
standing at the iron bars which inclose
his ward, Sunday, peeping through, when
lady accompanied BY pretty little girl,
came up to the bars to see the unfortu-
mates who were pacing back and forth
uttering incohernet sentences and max
ing strange motions with their hands.
At the sight Of the little girl with golden
tresses and sparkling blue eyes, Jacks
face lighted up, then hanging his bead
for a moment, memory seemed to carry
the poor fellow to his own daughter.
or 10 his old home, and his head bent
sorrowfully to his breast. The next in

the child, while big tear dropped down
his weather beaten cheek and mingled
with good natured smile. Then his
clear tenor voice broke forth in q song
beginning:
ave are bounding away Ger the rolling main.
And my bonny. sweet lass Ia behind.A
AS he was beginning the second verse,
the little girl, gazing into his face with q
look Of much pleasure, one Of the in
mates of the ward, tall, low browed
man, who is considered dangerous sub
ject. crept up behind Jack and said to
him: "If only had knife and q rope
l would fix that baby" pointing to the
little girl. The smile on Jacks face fed
instantly, and look Of hate took its
place. Wheeling about, he dealt the
maniac a terrible blow with his Hst,
knocking him several yards. although be

before he could recover, Jack unbuckled
bis army waist belt, and springins upon
the half-fallen man, dealt him q rapid
series of blows with the heavy lead buck
le attached to il, making several gsshes
on his head, from which blood freely
poured. The attendants, who were pre-.
pairing dinner at the time, rushed up at
this juncture and led the men away.

Among the very practical arguments
for temperance recently adduced, are some
statements made at temperance meeting
held last week, at Hartford, Conn. Pres
ident Greene OF the Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance Company, does not appear
as a philanthropist, but purely as vital
economist. and he rises in the Hartford
meeting to q remark, purely nom busi-
ness standpoint, to indict both the hered-
itary and the acquired appetite for strong
drink as an objection to taking a life risk.
He goes further, and with the vigorous
thrust OF his statistical broadsword sweeps
away the defences OF beer guzzling, the
arguments for wine and lager drinking.
Bear In mind that Mr.. Greene Is no red
headed fanatic, no man with magot In
his brain, but plain, shrewd, sharp man
OF affairs who makes money by insurlng
human lives and calculates, with his eyes
on all points Of the horizon Of causes and
effects In the matter of duration OF life.
Mr.. Greene says that habltual beer drink.
ers usually look robust, muscular, ford,
fieshy-a fair outside, but that touch Of
cold, or Whit Of malaria VIII easily ex-
pose them to some acute disease almost
invariably with typhoid poison. That
disease which . strictly temperate man
will throw OF, the whiskey or beer guzzler
succumbs to. Stimulants demoralize the
diseased liver has been well
called q slice Of the day Of judgment.
He is wise man who sets himself down to
q day of judgment with conscience and
good sense-and lets stimulants have wide
berth.
