No longer were there any wildfiights
OF exaltation or periods Of violence.
His manner changed slowly during a
period Of -four months. He became
moral and religious, careful about his
clothes and habits, was not attracted
by women, took no pleasure in the
things that had been his former delight
and seemed to be approaching sanity.
He was still of the belief that he was
headless, and thought that his voice
came from the spirit world. The tran
sition from lunacy to sanity in the end
was as sudden and mystifying as the be-
ginning had been. He awoke late one
morning after a sound sleep and said to
the attendant:
Take these heads away. You can
not fool me any longer"
The heads were taken away from the
room, and with their disappearance de-
parted every trace. of insanity in the
patient, and he has since appeared in
the same light as before he became in
sane. He went home and resumed his
family and business relations as If he
had only been away for day. There
may be a lapse in the disease after a
period of activity, when it may appear
again, but there is not the slightest evil
donce Of itnow, and DIR. Hammond does

Her Lock of Hair.

From Brownsburg, Ind, comes the
story that a young lady sent note to a
discarded lover requesting the return
of lock of hair which, during his
courtship, he had clipped from her
dainty tresses. His reply was brief
and to the point Rummaging his
trunk he collected number of tresses
culled from various "best girls" during
his love-making career, and forwarded
them in a bundle to the girl, inclosing
a note to the effect that he had really
forgotten which was hers, but she
might select it from those forwarded
and return the rest at her convenience.
They don't speak now as they pass by.
